Competitions 2023: Midprice Madness Competition
- Thread starter Ironhawk
- Start date
Final Results for 2023:
Well done to @warewolves for finishing the season with the final weekly win ahead of @Raaraab and @xanderdom.
To the surprise of nobody who has been following along in recent weeks, @Wheedus is officially this years champion, in quite dominant fashion, joining @wogitalia and @Couch Coach as a winner of this competition. @mfchamp hangs onto second place overall, with the ever present Cookie Monster rounding out the podium. Well done.
Congratulations to all of the winners this season, and especially to our overall champion @Wheedus. I continue to be amazed at the popularity of this competition year after year, and thank everyone who entered - I definitely did not expect to ever get 59 entries when I started this competition a few years ago and I'm very humbled that so many have decided to give it a go, and that there are quite a few who have joined multiple times now. I hope you all enjoyed the competition, no matter how well you did, and I hope to see a lot of you again when this returns in 2024.

Amazing work once more @Ironhawk
Thanks for running the show and providing us all with another outlet for our love of SC!
Big thanks again to @Beg2Differ for the accompanying speadsheet each week, very handy!

Thanks for the reminder, I knew I had forgotten to mention something important.
Thank you very much @Beg2Differ for the accompanying spreadsheet most weeks, it's great verification that the scores are accurate. I can't guarantee there are zero errors in my scoring, as I manually enter every score myself, but it's always a relief to see our scores seem to line up. As I've had some very busy times this year with work, and rushed a lot of the weekly updates, this has been a great way to check for errors. Thanks for all the effort you put into this.

Thanks for running this @Ironhawk. I got lucky with a couple of unique picks who went big for most of the season. Newman was a risk at $441k+ but the punt paid off. Played 21 at an average of 100.2 and finished off the season with an average of 125.8 over the past 5.
Great to take home the chocolates on my first go. Need to back it up now!

Totally agree with @Professor and I would like to add that I enjoyed following this Comp during the season.
Thanks @Ironhawk and @Beg2Differ for another excellent comp this year.
As they say, the only way is up, at least that will be my motto for next year.

Many thanks to @Ironhawk for both the great concept and then all the work you put into the running of this comp.
And thanks to @Beg2Differ for his important and impressive contribution.
It was very pleasing to lift the R24 weekly prize, but all honours go to @Wheedus for blitzing the field from go to whoa.

Thought I'd post the side. Just ran the numbers to look at which were the better picks.
It's an interesting question. Some players shot the lights out in terms of season average v what they were priced at (eg Ashcroft, Worpel, Flanders and Day) but they were in a lot of teams so the upside wasn't necessarily there.
Newman was definitely the stand out in terms of performance and uniqueness. Ash was also a good pick on that front and played all 23 games.
Florent and Baker were the "get what you pay for" picks. Played all 23 and delivered their average.
Fyfe was a fail but that didn't really impact because everyone had him. Tom Powell was probably the only really bad pick in terms of games and average. Crozier was probably a fail but at $218k, didn't really matter.
All in all, a pretty decent team, which also made $1.8 million in the process

@Beg2Differ may be best placed for determining the ideal squad when he is back from holiday, he is good at figuring it out. I'd only be able to provide a team based on season averages, rather than round by round scores.
