Right first time 1,903 Report post Posted April 14, 2018 Big ups to my 'Ad Augusta' team-mates Cat, Casper, Tom and Wrinkles today. It's all very well declaring that the Joker will be played and throwing in a bit of trash talk and nonsense ...but come the end of the day the team-mates need to step up to back up the Captain's big mouth ...and wow ...Cat, Casper, Tom and Wrinkles sure did that in spades today. Special mention of a 'master-class' performance from Cat and a top performance again from Casper. Tom continues to be a constant danger and today defeated the opposition Captain, whilst Wrinkles is proving an absolute revelation winning I think his last 5 matches in succession, today against a very much in-form opponent in Sarah.. Hard luck today, 'The Dark Horses'. You're one of the big achievers in this comp, and though play didn't run your way today I'm sure you'll bounce back as strong as ever. Special mention for the fantastic achievement of TC in maintaining his perfect winning record for his team - now 12 from 12 - unprecedented -and for Hesi who grabbed a vital win for his team in the last to see the Rubiks snatch a last-gasp victory. Good also to see John and the Lay Down Mizeres on the rise and still in with a shot at the Championship Round. Thanks for your scoring and updates today as always, PJ, very much appreciated. Glad that you fund a calculator big enough to cope with the Double AAs onslaught of points. . We'll savour the moment. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, folks.

Yyyyeeeeehhhhhaaaaaaa You're absolutely right, Rees, Steve P is one of the hardest competitors to beat. One of the main reasons we never considered playing our Joker against LDM. On the face of it we'd be one of the last teams LDM would want to come up against in a 'must-win' match to keep your playoff hopes alive ... but on the other hand, it would be optimistic of us to think we could play so well in back-to-back matches, so you may have timed your match against us 'Ad Augusta' perfectly. Looking forward to a top match, Rees. Good luck ! globederby12 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it for disciplinary reasons? Who is the new Captain? That would seem a bit tough after pulling off a 10 pointer. I know standards were high at Mt.Albert Grammar but that is taking it to the extreme! Secondly, I appear to have drawn The Crucible for the second time in this competition.

N1MUE 1,877 Report post Posted April 21, 2018 It was a plan hatched out of desperation Howie. We need two 5-0 wins to have any shot at making the big show (and even that might not be enough). A 3-2 win wasn't going to cut it so we figured we needed some degree of uniformity in our selection. We settled on almost complete uniformity (with a little bit of discretion).
