Competitions SCS 2024 AFL Finals Competition
- Thread starter Beg2Differ
- Start date
In the last two years of this competition, not many people have managed to score par or better:
2020: Bomber18, toxic, Ironhawk, KLo30 (4/26)
2021: Rowsus, Juzzo, Crowls, mike89, Ironhawk (5/27)
9 out of 53, or less than 17% at par or better. It's a tough course, so don't be surprised if you have a couple of rough rounds, everyone likely will!
Happy to be the only person to manage par or better both times, but if you look back to 2019 which had a different scoring system, but similar concept, I finished 26th of 27, so I can't claim to be too good at this. Probably been a bit lucky that my good and bad rounds have balanced out in the last two years, and a few of my risky selections have worked, unlike in 2019.

The rules for the practice round will be as follows.
The following are the links to enter each game. Note that you have to manually enter your SCS name in these forms however you will be selecting from a drop down for the competition proper. Any selection I can link to member will not be included for the results.
Brisbane v Melbourne (google.com)
GWS v Fremantle (google.com)
North Melbourne v Gold Coast (google.com)
Geelong v West Coast (google.com)
Essendon v Richmond (google.com)
Port Adelaide v Adelaide (google.com)
Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs (google.com)
Carlton v Collingwood (google.com)
St Kilda v Sydney (google.com)
- Each game is its own entity this week you don't have to play every game.
- Scoring - Correct bracket Eagle (-2); 1 bracket off Birdie (-1); 2 off Par (-); 3 off Bogey (+1); 4 or more off (+2)
- Captain - We will trial something different here because simply doubling the captain was more often than not having a negative effect which isn't really the objective. This week the rule will be that the captaincy bonus can only improve your score so your captain score will double for a eagle or birdie but not for bogey or worse. Not sure I love this either but let's see how it goes.

I did think about this last year, thinking there were some games I didn't really want to pick a captain in. I actually wouldn't mind that as an option - just choosing not to select a captain at all, and forfeit both the upside and downside that comes with it.
I'll be interested to see how an only-upside captain goes too though.

Next two days are super busy for me, so only entered game 1 at this stage, hoping I get time late Friday for the rest.
I always seem to be having to look up certain players I haven't even considered all season to get an idea what they might score. Couple in that first match already.
Not sure I like the captain change, I liked the punishment aspect for a bad pick, but we'll see how it goes.

I know that scoring variability is relevant but just note that the brackets above are defined around a players average for this year as follows.
- <70%
- 70% to 80%
- 80% to 90%
- 90% to 97.5%
- 97.5% to 102.5%
- 102.5% to 110%
- 110% to 120%
- 120% to 130%
- 130%>
