Competitions BBL|09 Doubles Competition (Fixture in OP) - Completed

[Ironhawk]

Duos have just been randomly generated.

Would you like them released now?

DO IT!

(or not - up to you).

 

[Connoisseur]

keeping everyone in suspense ?

up to you , maybe 1 a day hahaha

After the following advertisements:

 

[Tails]

TBH I'd prefer the suspense so no team collaboration can take place !!

I'm not too fussed if we wait either to be honest, I just want to find out who the poor sucker is that was unfortunate enough to be landed with me, as they will likely need to be very good to make up for my contribution to the team. I'm sort of hoping to get someone else who isn't very good so I don't feel as bad about letting one of the better players down.

I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised with how well I do, but as I have never really followed BB previously at all, and based on previous fantasy sports experience, I am not expecting great scores, and for my team to get worse as the season progresses rather than better. Guess we find out next month.

 

[Connoisseur]

Without further ado, the duos are:

1. @Foxy's Fe-Lions and @mike89
2. @Rowsus and @Tamuhawk
3. @Tex and @THCLT
4. @Jim's Dim Sims and @All is Wells
5. @Johno69 and @Ben's Beasts
6. @Creeker and @Diabolical
7. @Connoisseur and @Darkie
8. @blue dreamer and @Tails
9. @Goodie's Guns and @KLo30
10. @Presto and @Ironhawk
11. @Young gun and @Damion23
12. @jaca and @Herbie66
13. @7/11 and @Bomber18

Hopefully the fixture will be generated and released tomorrow. Thanks to all participants for their interest and input.

To me BBL is all about a bit of luck, some forward planning and some savvy trading ... you're amongst some pretty good company here IMO ...

I wouldn't stress too much .. pick a decent starting side and then see where the journey takes you as this site releases the various BE's etc ...

 

[Tex]

Thanks @Connoisseur for putting this together.

... and just in case there were any doubts about the randomness of the draw (not that there would have been) ...

Connoisseur has drawn a rank newcomer!

Tough luck mate, can’t say I’m unhappy though ?

You will be extremely pleasantly surprised that I am the poor sucker, I know I am hopeless. Anything we can achieve, no matter how small, will be a victory.

 

[Diabolical]

I think we’ve got this sewn up easily @Creeker

 

[THCLT]

Fantastic work @Connoisseur

Thanks for your initiative in setting this up and am looking forward to the competition as there are some great BBL coaches amongst that list.

Ahh well, I guess we could have a competition between the two of us as to who does better, maybe that'll help us both.

I mainly joined to support a good idea anyway, and second all the good work done in setting this up @Connoisseur. If I happen to do a bit better than I expect and not completely embarrass myself, even better.

The sorts of teams that end up winning these things are the ones who might be inconsistent as individual in terms of overall , but usually one team smashes out a good total when needed and they alternate.

 

[Herbie66]

woohoo me and @jaca

 

[jaca]

woohoo me and @jaca

On average we'll have done a good amount of BBL research each

 

[Herbie66]

I am weeks behind , so look forward to seeing your research ?

 

[blue dreamer]

I'd just like to say sorry to Tails before any disappointment creeps in

 

[Creeker]

I think we’ve got this sewn up easily @Creeker

Yep, we’ve got this.
The Diabolical/Creek combo just have to overcome one past winner, one opponent who has had 3 top 5 overall finishes, and many other top strategists who know this game inside out.
Think I better sit down, have 15 beers, and work out a team strategy.
What could possibly go wrong ? Go team DC.

 

[Young gun]

I must've saved a leprechaun's parents in a previous life with the lucky draw of @Damion23 Let's crush this together mate!

Imagine if they were paired together?

We're all very lucky to have avoided that scenario.
