Rules

Pick your finishing ladder for 2020 (@Round 25 end) 1st - 16th.

Just post your top 16 teams in order and you are entered.

You can change it as many times as you like until the below close time by editing your post.

Only 1 entry per kennel member. Only 1 team per position. All teams must be included

Entries close 7pm Sydney time March 12 (just before the first game kickoff).

After the cutoff time, the thread will then be moved to an admin only area for capturing/recording the final entries, for a short time. Once the entries are captured, the thread will return to the RL general forum.

If you edit your post/team order after the above cut-off time, it will not affect your captured entry, and will only confuse you as it won't match your final entry.

Scoring (points per correct pick)

10pts - 1st in the correct position

7pts - 16th in the correct position

6pts - 2nd, 3rd or 4th in the correct position

5pts - 5th, 6th , 7th, or 8th in the correct position

4pts - 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th or 15th in the correct position

0pts - Any side in the wrong position

Prize

A Kennel banner on your avatar something along the lines of "NRL ladder champ 2020" [this is not finalised yet, the winner can help decide the wording], and a permanent premium membership for free.

If there is a tie for 1st, there will be a decider that will involve the finals series matches, a countback or a randomizer draw [TBA]. I will exclude myself if im in a randomizer draw for 1st as i will be doing the draw.

I will post running updates after every round of participants current positions / scores during the season, based on the ladder at the time.

PLEASE don’t let The Despot win a title with the Beagles and their two eskies, three towels and a sleeping bag operation at Crookvale. That would truly be salt into the wound! :-).

Yeah haha it would be hard to swallow. Centre and hooker are potentially their only weakness imo. If Turbo stays fit and Luke Metcalf is 14 I think they will be a big threat

The irony is it would be full circle from the cap mess he left them in after 2011 but no-one seemed to care at the time after 2 titles in 4 years. Maybe if the same happened to us we would’ve been more forgiving but 2 runner up ribbons don’t quite cut it. At least their return to depth and strength shows we too will be back soon enough (as I’ve always believed). I just Hope Pay doesn’t have to pay the same price Toovey and Barrett did on the way back to the top.

I agree they’re weak at 9 and that’s crucial. Couldn’t happen to a nicer team - except the Chooks. And Wabbits. And Sharts. And Eels. And - well, the other 10 :-).

I’d love them to get done for a massive salary cap breach and lose all their points and good players. Des deserves that

Any entries after this post have missed the cutoff and will not be in the comp.

Any edits to your ladders wont count now, as the original pre cutoff entries have been locked in.
