Stan’s latest comments….

 

Hello there Madsters,

 

Herewith the final Fantasy update of 2007.

 

The last game saw a stunning performance from Ant, breaking his PB in Fantasy points collection with a fine display of bowling, catching, fielding and hogging the game - a most excellent performance thoroughly deserving of 125 Fantasy points.

 

So those Managers with Ant in their teams netted the most points which might explain the recent rise up the table of our very own Skipper, and the One With The Big Head.

 

After the points had been totalised, the league table after the final game looks like this:

Well ok then, no changes whatsoever, but I bet Ant was happy he made those subs in the last two games after all with just 2 points separating 3rd and 4th place.

 

So congratulations Mike for hanging in there with your selection - the winning team being:

Ian Howarth        28.9

Antony Mann        23.2

Stephen Parkinson  16.2

Nick Hebbes        15.0

Jake Hotson        6.0

------------------------------------

Total Cost                 99.5

Rules

 

What Stan has decreed….

 

A complicated mathematical system of games played over the last three years and points scored over the last three seasons have constituted the costings for this season. Choose your team wisely - 100 Snatches is the maximum spend. Remember, in this game the winner will be the manager who picks the most improving players over the 2007 Season.

 

This season there are no player pools systems - all you have to do is pick SIX players from the list, spending no more than 100 Snatches.

 

Points will be awarded as last season (for ALL games - including tour), with the all important end of season points (below) which will be applied to your OPENING team!

 

>25 Bat Avg   50

<15 Bowl Avg            50

 

FIVE substitutions will be allowed, but the transfer window will only be open after the SECOND match (as the Fantasy organiser will be holidaying in the Caribbean during the opening two games!)

 

Entry will be £5, substitutions costing £1

 

The prize fund will be the total collected from entries and substitutions, divided up to the winners as follows:

 

First Place 50%

Second Place 30%

Third Place 15%

Fourth Place 5%

 

Closing date for entries will be MARCH 26th (the day before I fly ;)

 

So send your six players, TEAM NAME, and as a tie-breaker – “What will be the highest TEAM score of the MAD during the 2007 Season?”

 

Friends and Family welcome!

 

Enjoy, any questions, please ask....

 

Stan.
