With the announcement of the weekend fixtures, I will open...
EVENT #3 - Ladbrokes UK Open
Team selection takes a different shape for this big field event. Salary cap is replaced by group selections. Team selection is at it's toughest for the season to begin, with 16 selections being required to be selected for Day 1 play.
The 2nd days play is subject to change should there be 6 eliminations of top 8 players in Round 4. I will put a rule of thumb in now. Should only 4 players survive from the 1-8 bracket in Round 4, then the 1-8 bracket will be dropped and rest will apply across the board with a maximum of 3 players being allowed to be selected from the 1-8 bracket. I will update the table ahead of Saturday’s trading period should this apply.
Here are the updated and final brackets from the guide that was posted last week.
*Note No.111 Unterbucher & No.72 Koltsov are withdrawals so far.
The details around team selection is as follows:
*Players are selected from colour brackets using the above team selection and player tables as a guide.
*Captain x2 and VC x1.5. Default captaincy will revert to highest ranked player if not stipulated.
*Doubling applied to all scoring methods apart from the bonus which is an additional 5 points for selecting and holding the UK Open winner throughout the event.
*Should there be a withdrawal during a tournament, that is the luck of the draw, and no replacement player or points will be awarded.
LOCKOUTS:
The first round lockout is at 10pm AEDT on Friday evening. Participants will be made aware of Day 2 and 3 lockout times as matches are locked in for those days.
Entries can be simply posted in the thread or via PM to myself. If a participant chooses to PM their entry it will be disclosed after lockout has closed.
I will reserve the next post as I work on or find a better presentation of the bracket draw than wiki has, to assist with team selection.
Good luck!
Will tag those that may not have seen this
