[Topher]

There is also one last chance for martinox and Topher to remain in the competition providing they pick the winner of the Bristol Rovers-Oxford match by 2:59pm today.

Not weird just stupid.

Not entirely. You lot.have, imho, started the season reasonably. And you're playing Coventry, who aren't all that good.

Sorry mate, can't even bend the rules for a fellow Valiant. The anarchy would be too much for me but I shall send you a reminder when Last Man Standing II begins

While NML may have done one or two daft things, according to Posh fans anyway, in his previous career, he seems sane enough in a Dale shirt...
:giphy:

 

[MJA]

Just Marked Ox and Murphy to get their Round 3 selections in now

Sheffield United

 

[blade1889]

Hate to say it (I genuinely do), but I told you so. Come on guys, seriously!?

 

[BetterCallSaul]

It's ok I said Charlton

 

[MJA]

For the 2nd round in a row, Sheffield Utd have helped to cull players from the competition with just 4 players, all thanks to Charlton, guaranteed a place in the next round.

Full details will be confirmed later tonight

 

[MJA]

So with no-one relying on tonight's fixtures I can now confirm the results from League 1 Last Man Standing I Round 3:

We are now entering the final stages of the first competition with just 4 players progressing to Round 4 meaning a success rate of 30.7% in Round 3, with all players progressing having Charlton Athletic to thank.

I will be posting the fixtures for Round 4 shortly but first, the scoring system I will be using will be posted first along with some additional rules. Could the 4 remaining players please wait for this post to go up before posting any selections please?

 

[MJA]

Scoring System:
Main points available will go to the Last Man Standing but there will be some points available to those finishing in 2nd and 3rd.
The total points available will be based on the number of people who enter each competition with this total being multiplied by 100 to give the amount of points up for grabs. I will use this current game as an example below:

51 players entered the competition so 51x10=510 points available
This 510 will be broken down as follows:

• 70% to the Last Man Standing = 357 points
• 20% to 2nd Place = 102 points
• 10% to 3rd Place = 51 points

These points can only be claimed if you claim 1st, 2nd or 3rd on your own merit. So using the 4 remaining in competition 1 as an example:

4froale and BetterCallSaul select teams that win but Bobbin' and Bottega Don don't. This would mean Bobbin' and Bottega Don would finish in tied 4th and receive no points whilst 4froale and BetterCallSaul would go on to face off for 1st and 2nd.
Should we reach a stage where we have 3 players left in and 2 players select losing teams then they would be classed as tied 3rd and would share the 3rd place prize.

Any unclaimed points will be rolled onto the next tournament.

I am basically trying to avoid situations where loads of people are sharing points, particularly where it could create a scenario where a few players share 2nd prize meaning the 3rd place finisher ends up with more points. I am sure it will proven to be flawed somewhere along the line but I will try to keep everyone in the loop regarding finishing positions and potential points available.



Rules:

• Teams can only be selected once through the duration of any one tournament
• Selections to be made 1 minute before scheduled kick off time
• Each tournament will run until we find the Last Man Standing or until all players are elminated
• Once we reach a stage where we have the final 5 participants, selections are to be made by PM to me. Once all selections are sent by PM, I will then post the selections in the thread. At this point no changes can be made to choices. In the unlikely situation that I reach the final 5 then I will send my selection to T.A and he will post my selection into the thread (he doesn't know this yet but he is a mod and he has an obligation to support forum activity whether he likes it or not)

Hopefully this makes sense but if not then feel free to PM me or message me in the thread and I will try to pretend that I know what I am doing
