Kentish All Stars

Pool 1. Ben " Thanet must do better than Canterbury" Crowe.

I think the pressure from all the canterbury lads will spur him on. (also only Kent presence in pool 1)

Pool 2 Joe " give me more stalkers " Wood

Hard man to beat on any day.

Pool 3 James "insert funny name "Reeves

Tough pool here, all 4 lands of Kent have it in them to get 5 or 6 wins. I ruled out Jake as hes Thanet, the others were a toss up, and out of the 3 James has the slightly easier round 1 I think. (well, Dave only has to face Ben, but local derbys can easily ignore the form books)

Pool 4 Austin" see which Austin turns up" Capewell

On his day can play a very good game. On someone elses day can manage to grasp defeat from almost any position

Pool 5 Adam Wheeler

(I don't recognise any of them, but from their rankings, it looks like he has got nearest to Kent, having played at Pubfaux)

 

Expect a paypal shortly

OK, final final pools now posted.

 

Matt Cole has dropped out (pool E) and been replaced with Jakob Sennett (pool D).

 

Chris King has dropped out (pool D) and as his ticket is currently unclaimed, I've had to add the ringer Matt Spooner (pool E) to keep the numbers up. Mr Marshall has already said Spoons will be finishing last so for God's sake don't actually pick him! :)

 

Everyone's free to change their pools up until round 1 starts on Saturday morning - just please put it in writing! I'll have some bits of paper with me for on-the-day entrants, as well as a list of pledges to collect from.

 

Stats will go up tomorrow for extra mockery, although seeing as half the field has chosen themselves I've been denied that pleasure...

Ok. so being indecisive, I will enter 3 lists.....

I will have my favourite picks, The Red Jokers, my 'should do wells', The Black Jokers and my 'if I hit form, your in for a shock...!' The 7's of Mask. or 'Leap!').

 

Too cool for school : Joel "I place at tournaments even when a pair of muppets pick my lists for me" Henry  :huh: 

Didnt make the cut: Ben “Cos I’m still a chump” Harris.  :D

 

 

Red Jokers  :+fate

Greg “I cant be the CHOSEN one-  I was BORN to win!” Piskosz

Luke “Is the GT ranked?” Cocksedge

Aidan “Ive been picked twice!” Kirk

Mark Byrne

Mike Soar

 

7’s of Masks (Leap!) :+fate :-fate

Rob “Currently laying the smackdown” Smith

Martin “Been planning my comeback since before my hiatus” Wodehouse

Hutch “I won’t use Colette, honest!” Hutchinson

Austin “Chuckles” Capewell

Nathan Chenery

 

Black Jokers :-fate

Ben “The only other twat gobby enough to lead this team” Crowe (Won't pick myself, so there is only one other twat twatty enough for the job....  ;) )

Tim “I am LCB” Brown

Natte Zettle

Adam Wheeler

Okay will cash you for this later but I will take -

 

Pool A - Ben ‘Late Surge’ Crowe (he's got the taste for victory now)

Pool B - Scott Porter (ready to come out swinging) 

Pool C - Adam Hutchinson (no list is complete without a squig)

Pool D - Bob McCallum (luck of the Irish)

Pool E - James Winton (he's up and coming)

 

What happens if you have a drop out on your list?

I'll be wearing green #tobesuretobesure

The biggest gains in getting minimal points will be from picking players in pools D and E that ended up coming mid-table or better, I think. Those will be the deciders, rather than the relatively small place changes in the top two groups...

Eg I think Andy Winton did pretty well(?), so someone backing him will be -30 odd vs somebody who didn't

I don't have everyones entries, but the best possible score is 68, and the worst possible is 271 by my calculations.

The pool ranges were

Pool A 1-21

Pool B 2-58

pool C 13-62

Pool D 10-64

Pool E 42-66

 

I ended up with a disapoointing 165.

Good choices on C and D probably will get the winner
