EDIT: Nuts im late.

[coomsey76]

Cheers little miss..... Lesson learnt, to be fair though I wouldn't have had the chance to do it yesterday cause I was at work til really late and I was back up at 5 this morning!!

But I'm sure you guys will let me in on compassionate reasons though...... Won't you?????? Please, please pretty please...;):D:)

[coomsey76]

EDIT: Nuts im late.

Join the club......

[LittleMissAlexa]

Join the club...... up to montoya but i would say you would have to pick players who havent cued up

[montoya10]

up to montoya but i would say you would have to pick players who havent cued up

Fair idea. Change those who have played and get back in with others who are yet to play.

[montoya10]

So, no trouble for Deepscrew. Only coomsey's Thanawat selection needs to be changed, but because he won't be able to pick up another wildcard, now that they have all started, I guess he'll have to settle for three players or he could completely change his seeded selections to avoid picking a wildcard somehow and it would still be fine : )

[LittleMissAlexa]

Fair idea. Change those who have played and get back in with others who are yet to play. does that include those who were on time?

[Deepscrew]

Has Jimmy Robertson played yet? I cant seem to find any results?

EDIT: Ahh good thank you.

[LittleMissAlexa]

jimmys playing now

[montoya10]

does that include those who were on time?

It really isn't a problem for me.
Maybe, starting from the next event or so, I could give every player an extra chance to do so.
That would be still 4 players at the beginning, and you could substitute one at some point after he has played (edit: not unless :D if his substitution is yet to play) without going over the points limit again.
Anyone interested in this idea?

only if there are late comers and only people on time can have a substution just one this should also only be available on the opening day before the last session of that day

[LittleMissAlexa]

my wildcard choice was a toss up between thanawat and jin long damn the coin damn the coin

[coomsey76]

Thank you guys and girls.... Much appreciated!!:)

Well I'm totally happy to stick with 3 players because that would have been my first choice team, but if everybody would feel happier/prefer if made a complete change team I will.....

It's completely up to you guys??

[montoya10]

only if there are late comers and only people on time can have a substitution just one this should also only be available on the opening day before the last session of that day

But that means the first session of the opening day is the deadline for substituting someone who has played and in the Worlds, we would have no proper final results to do so.
Then again, in the Worlds, it is easier to change one of your players that is yet to start with another one. I'm not mentioning it every time, but technically there are members that can change every member of their team at the moment cause their all selections are yet to play a match.
Perhaps 5 players in the Worlds could be the case?

I respect your choice, you don't have to form a team from scratch. It was just an option (=

you would have to put the maximum up mind

[Odrl]

What's the point in all of that? Just finish your selection before the deadline. :)

Otherwise there would be room for all kinds of tactical play, such as picking a player who hasn't played yet, but whose draw has opened up because of other results, for example.

Even here, if you want to pick a wildcard, and four have already played, it's easy to say just pick one of the other four. Yes, you might have picked Jin Long and can't do so now, but you also might have picked someone who lost, and you can avoid that now, whereas the players who got their team on time don't have that option.

But then again, maybe I'm taking it all too seriously. ;)

[coomsey76]

Thank you Montoya.......:)

I'm total happy to stick with that team cause it was my first choice before I realised the tournament had started, so I think it would be unfair of me to pick another player when my one of my first choice players had gone out already.....

Well, at first sight, it looked like that tactical play could be fun, but I'm not so sure about that at the moment.
Then again, something is needed to be done here, I guess. This game's popularity has had drastically fallen to the lowest ranks in the forum.
In other words, maybe I should resign, so we get a "Barry Hearn" here as savior :D

Until we get to that point, no dramatical innovative move is to be made, then. That's a fair decision.
Anyone interested in being Barry? :D

PS. You're welcome, coomsey (=

[Odrl]

A bit of bad luck I suppose, because some of the members who really enjoyed the fantasy games are no longer with us. ;)

[LittleMissAlexa]

it might just be that it started late This season

Montoya do not give up you do a wonderful job for the site

[coomsey76]

Yes indeed Montoya you do a totally ace job with the fantasy games.....

And I for one really appreciate all you do, and I pretty sure there are many others who do as well!!:)

I'm really sorry, cause it was me who started all this by not submitting my team on time..... I'm sorry if I've caused any inconvenience to you Montoya...... And I promise I'll be on time from now on!!:o:)

[montoya10]

I know, it's a pity, indeed.

I was a bit surprised to see that nobody continued after my departure last season.
Hopefully more people will be here for WC and we will have more attendants (=

No, don't be sorry, it's not about your submission. I posted the topic quite late also, so, no worries : )

Anyway, I shall do my best to return this game by the time World Championship arrives to its heyday when we would get 30+ people submitting teams, thanks for your support coming from you all!

[LittleMissAlexa]

the trump and lee whitewashes will do me fine

[coomsey76]

We go head to head in the next round little miss....!!:)

Robertson v lee

[montoya10]

A wildcard loser and two further R32 exits.. I'm not even mediocre!!

[cally]

Wow.. Just seen the results for 2 of my team, what the 'eck happened to ding and williams...

gutted.... D'oh...


;)

[LittleMissAlexa]

i now hold the highest break at the moment nice 138 by Lee I have only two players left mind

[LittleMissAlexa]

A wildcard loser and two further R32 exits.. I'm not even mediocre!! that higgions whitewash of Cope may of done you a favour

[montoya10]

that higgions whitewash of Cope may of done you a favour

I know!! I'm getting closer to being mediocre, come on John!! (=

[coomsey76]

Not a good result for my last man standing then..... A whitewash at the hands of Selby, never saw that coming that's for sure!!

[Deepscrew]

Come on Mark!!! You moody little rascal you!

[LittleMissAlexa]

thats the third whitewash inflicted by a member of Team Alexa I think im scoring quite well in this even with only two players left

[LittleMissAlexa]

if Stephen Lee doesnt win i dont stand a chance in this for the first time i wont have a finalist

[LittleMissAlexa]

the way Lee is Playing in this final deep screw may of pipped me

[montoya10]

the way Lee is Playing in this final deep screw may of pipped me

I don't think so, but we'll see : )
I have no idea when I'll have the time to do the calculations, but I'll try to be quick.

[LittleMissAlexa]

[Deepscrew]

[LittleMissAlexa]
