DazBurg always competitive, but will be considered an ‘also-ran’ for the most part.

Regular Season

Atrocious start in DT, losing his first 6 games, and was last on the ladder after Round 7. Rounds 7 to 13 saw him win only 6 from his 14 games, and was still low on the ladder in 28th spot. Written off for the most part, until DazBurg made a very late run towards the finals! An 8 match winning streak out of nowhere sky-rocketed him to 18th spot, with one round remaining! But alas, fell short in the final round, and finished the year in 20th place.

Amazingly, while he was sitting in the cellar of DT, he was sitting on top of the SC table! A quick start saw him win 4 from 4, and sit top of the ladder! From there though, he didn’t string many games together, and slowly went down the ladder to finish in 15th spot.

Knock-Out Cup

Narrowly defeated by naste (9 points) in DT and CFC 1979 (43 points) in SC for the first round, and finished 28th and 24th spot respectively.

Finals

Any chance of qualifying for the DT Champions league was blown out of the water with a loss to 8-6 Suited in the first week and to dylsta05 the next week. DazBurg did win the minor finals of the Victorian league however.

In SC, DazBurg played korza in the first week of the Overall finals, and was beaten by 89 points. DazBurg won his Victorian Elimination final after an epic 2333-2312 encounter over Fletch74, before going down to Minor Premier thornz23 in the semi-finals.

Rivalries

Personal rivalry against BratPack, with DazBurg taking the honours 2-0. Defeated Alex7089 3 from 4 times, Fletch74 4 from 5 times, MajorLazer 3 from 4, and naste twice from three. However, had negative ledgers against CFC 1979 (1-2), dylsta05 (0-3), Hellopplz (2-3), Junktimer (1-2), korza (1-3), pyronerd (1-2), reesbr (0-3) and thornz23 (0-3).

A strong start and a strong finish, but the middle hurt Cruiseon with some unlucky results.

Regular Season

Despite only winning 3 of his first 6 matches, Cruiseon was the highest scorer in the league after three rounds, and sat in 11th position. Only 6 wins from the next 16 saw Cruise drop to 22nd position with 4 rounds remaining. Cruise would drop matches he shouldn’t, but he kept the faith, and went on a 9 match winning streak to storm into the finals, finish in 12th spot, come 2nd in the Victorian Minor Premiership, and have all the momentum.

Knock-Out Cup

Came into the tournament the #1 seed, and in week 1 played the struggling 32nd seed roo boys! Cruiseon clearly let his lofty seeding get to his head, and could not handle the sense of occasion as roo boys! sent him packing 2211-2129. Cruiseon eventually finished 23rd.

Finals

A 9 week winning streak going into the finals had many pundits backing Cruiseon for a tilt at the flag. In his way was 5th ranked Barlow 21, and Cruiseon edged him out by only 15 points to move into the final 8. Alas, Cruiseon was to face the CFC jugganaught in the final 8 and was smashed to the tune of 363 points.

In the Victorian conference, Cruiseon went out in straight-sets to Junktimer and korza, in what ended up a disappointing finals campaign.

Rivalries

Despite averaging 80 points less than Cruiseon throughout the year, roo boys! had Cruiseon twice this season. I imagine Cruise will be looking to rectify that come 2012! Defeated BratPack twice from three occasions, and defeated McRooster two from two times also. Could not get past korza on all 3 occasions they met.

A season of 2,762 highs were not enough in the end for CrowsFan in the finals, but he won plenty of silverware on the way.

Regular Season

Amazingly, with the exception of Round 2, at the end of each and every round CrowsFan was in the Top 6.

His ladder positions read like: 6th, 9th, 6th, 5th, 6th, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 6th, 4th, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 6th

So CrowsFan was never far away from Premiership thinking, and was a clear favourite for the Minor Premiership at several points in the season. What hurt him was only being able to win 1 of his last 5 matches, and unfortunately, he lost a bit of momentum going into the finals.

Knock-Out Cup

Seeded 12th, CrowsFan easily disposed of RobsOverAchieverss in the first round. Extremely lucky to get past Alex7089 in the next round, edging him out by one of the smallest margins of the season – by only 2 points, before again nudging out dylsta05 in the third round by only 30 points. The final four had CrowsFan take on MTTY, and in a slightly more convincing display, was victorious by 98 points.

The Grand Final was against 27th seeded BratPack, who had the crowd on his side! A spectacular 5,430 point match occurred with CrowsFan winning 2,762 to 2,668. BratPack’s 2,668 stood as the third highest score of the season, while CrowsFan took out 2 major trophies in a week, by also claiming the highest score of the year. Will the 5,430 point match ever be reached again? Only time will tell.

Finals

CrowsFan was smashed by eventual Runner-Up Maca24 in week 1 of the finals, going down 2,486-2,198, and that was all she wrote. In the play-off for positions, CF could not beat either MTTY or DazBurg, before a victory against Barlow 21 sured up 15th place in the Premiership. CF would have to call that an underachievement, given he wasn’t ranked any less than 9th during the entire season.

Finishing 2nd in the All-Stars league, things didn’t get much better, with CF out in straight sets to MTTY and McRooster, before again defeating Barlow 21 to claim 5th spot.

Rivalries

Defeated BratPack twice including the KO Cup final match-of-the year, while went down to MTTY 3 from 4 times. Had Barlow 21 three/three times.

Cicjose caused one of the bigger upsets for the season, but it wasn’t enough.

Regular Season

Winning only 6 of his first 16, Cicjose had a lot of work to do in order to get himself into contention. To his credit, he did exactly that! Locked in a battle with hawka26, bunyip, chrisuzz and DazBurg for a finals spot, things were looking good when he slipped into the top 16 at the end of Round 17, before slipping out again in the penultimate round. The final round Cicjose’s score was good enough to win all 3 of his remaining games to finish in 16th spot and qualify for the 2011 Finals.

Knock-Out Cup

The 10th seed was knocked out by hawka26 in week 1, and finished a disappointing 29th.

Finals

Caused one of the upsets of the year when Cicjose knocked out the #1 ranked browny_wce in week 1 of the finals. Browny_wce had scored an incredible 5,202 points in the last two weeks, compared to Cic’s 4719, and this was meant to be a walk in the park. Cicjose was victorious 2,363 to 2,293! Cicjose almost kept his victorious ways, falling only 21 points of eventual premier CFC 1979 in the final 8.

Did not make the finals in the All-Stars Dream Team League, and finished a respectable 9th.

Rivalries

Nothing much of note, but the 1-1 record against browny_wce could very well become significant in the future!

It was chrisuzz’s idea for a coaches league, and we thank him for that!

Regular Season

Likely the most interesting thing about chrisuzz’s season is that he and pyronerd were involved in the first – and only – draw in the elxam league. A low scoring 1915-1915 affair in round 3. At the end of round 3, chrisuzz has 3 wins and a draw, and was sitting in 11th position. Unfortunately consistent wins dried up, and he drifted slowly down the ladder with only 5 wins from the next 14 to slip down to 23rd spot. Made a late run towards the finals, winning 6 of the next 8 to sit in 17th spot going into the final round, but could not win a game in the final week.

Knock-Out Cup

Knocked-out in week 1 to MTTY, and finished 18th.

Finals

With two spots on the line for the Championship League, chrisuzz performed well in the lower overall finals, defeating benjy, pyronerd and bunyip, but losing to hawka26, to finish in 18th spot and lay claim to a Championship spot.

Rivalries

Nothing much of note, the draw in round 3 against pyronerd proved inconsequential, and he defeated Boomz twice from 3 occasions.

Premierships are meant to be hard to win. But CFC made a mockery of that winning ALL FOUR of the Premierships he was eligible for. An amazing finals series.

Regular Season

DT – Had one good winning streak of 6 in the early rounds, but from then on CFC was never really that dominant, just winning enough games throughout the year while dropping the occasional one. Found himself in 2nd position at the ends of Rounds 13 and 18, but winning 1 of his last 3 let him slipped to 8th. Of course, this turned out to be a perfectly paced season.

SC – Similar story to DT! No real streaks of matches, just more than enough wins to keep him high on the ladder. To demonstrate this, at the of rounds 13-18, CFC stayed in 6th spot the entire time – no more, no less – winning his last 5 matches pushed him into the top 4 for his tilt at glory.

CFC’s numbers never had him high in the Premiership betting, and flying below the radar was a terrific strategy.

Knock-Out Cup

In DT, CFC was extremely close to taking out the KO Cup as well. Seeded 12th and winning his first rounds against korza, naste and reesbr, CFC faced off against elephants in the final 4. Elephants won by only 8 points, and CFC was sent packing. His score in the final round of the KO Cup would have been more than enough to take the title.

In SC, his run wasn’t as good. Defeated DazBurg in Week 1, before being convincingly beaten by reesbr in week 2, and finished 13th overall.

Finals

Had an average finals series, not really worth mentioning.

….

Except of his 14 finals, he didn’t lose a single one. That’s right. 14 from 14. Very early days for the competition, but I’m unsure if we’ll ever see something like that again!

Overall DT. CFC knocked out 9th ranked Junktimer by only 34 points in week 1. Week 2 was a 21 point victory over Cicjose. A convincing 126 point victory over Prospector_1 in the preliminary finals followed this, before facing Marcz in the Grand Final. The Grand Final wasn’t a blow-out by any means, and Marcz put up a decent fight, but eventually went down by 137 points.

Victorian DT. Junktimer must count himself unlucky, played CFC both in the first weeks of the overall and Victorian leagues, and only went down by 34 points. CFC went straight to the preliminary finals, where he annihilated journeyman bunyip by 301 points, where he met Prospector_1 in the Grand Final. This was an epic match, where CFC only edged home by 15 points to take out the Victorian Flag.

Overall SC. A 223 point victory over Fletch74 started week 1 nicely, with CFC’s 2,535 the highest of the round. CFC continued his merry way, smashing Cruiseon in the final 8 by 363 points. In the Preliminary finals, took on minor premier thornz23, and won by 118 points, and in the Grand Final destroyed giant-killer Maca24 by 404 points. Meaning CFC won his 4 finals by a combined 1,108 points. Phew.

Victorian SC. A 2,535-2,462 match against thornz23 was one of the matches of the season, and earnt CFC a week off. In the Preliminary finals, took on the brave korza, but CFC had him covered by 75 points. The Grand Final was against – guess who – JUNKTIMER. But the third time was not the charm for Junktimer, as CFC took the Grand Final by 189 points.

Rivalries

With three finals – including a Grand Final – the biggest rivalry would have to be against Junktimer, and I would argue this is the biggest rivalry in the competition. Played an incredibly 6 times, with CFC having 4 wins – including all 3 in the finals, as Junktimer most know he let some chances slip.

The rivalry against Prospector_1 is also not far behind, with CFC taking him out in both the DT Overall Prelim and the DT Victorian Grand Final, and has a 3-1 record. CFC has a 2-1 record against the other teams he played in Grand Finals in Marcz and Maca24. Basically, a lot of teams will be out for blood against CFC next year. However, reesbr, elephants and McRooster all had him covered.

It is hard to summarise bunyip. At one point one of the favourites for the spoon, before falling heartbreakingly short of the finals.

Regular Season

Zero wins from his 4 matches, and could not string consecutive matches until Round 11. Bunyip, having scored the lowest in the comp in round 2, and sitting second last after Round 9, was not talked about premierships, nor finals, but was talked about for the spoon.

But bunyip, through hard work and perseverance, managed to start putting together the wins. Something remarkable happened as bunyip won 8 matches in a row from Rounds 11-14, to zoom up to 17th, literally one spot away from the finals. He faltered in the next 4 matches, winning only 1, but in Round 18 won both his matches to edge himself into the top 16 for the first time of the year! Alas, the final round was his undoing, and winning only 1 of his last 3 matches saw him just slip out. One of the more entertaining teams to track!

His ladder positions read like this (top 16 of 32 made the finals): 30th, 31st, 31st, 29th, 31st, 31st, 29th, 26th, 21st, 20th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 16th, 18th

Knock-Out Cup

Knocked out week 1 by Flame, finished 21st.

Finals

Though bunyip just missed out on the finals in the Overall competition, he did enough to slip into the 8 in the Victorian league. A convincing first up win against korza in an elimination finals, was followed up by a tight victory over hawka26 in the semi-final. In the Prelim though, he was annihilated by eventual premier CFC 1979.

In the lower overall finals, he did enough to finish 19th.

Rivalries

Did not play any team more than twice. Defeated Alex7089, Hellopplz, korza, ossie85 and reesbr two from two times, and lost to Flame and thornz23 twice. Overall, had a 55% win record.

2012

DT Qualified: 2nd Tier Leagues. BUT, after finishing 19th, is a chance – if he chooses to enter again – to make the Champions League if anyone above him decides not to enter this year. A remarkable achievement.

One of the more dominant teams of the competition, browny_wce has an impressive trophy cabinet already!

Regular Season

The Minor Premier, of course, had a terrific regular season, with a 22-9 record. He finished top of the ladder mostly by feasting on his Victorian counterparts, coming away with a 12-4 record against Victorians, and a 10-5 record against his fellow All-Stars. Amazingly, he did not finish top 4 in the All-Stars conference. This Victorian Dominance was a large part of browny_wce claiming the first m0nty medal – tied with Prospector_1 – with 10 votes, and leading the All-Stars to victory over Victoria in the League Cup.

During the season, browny started off slowly, winning only 4 of his first 8 matches to sit in 16th position. From there, he won his next 6 to set up his spot in the top 16, before storming home winning the last 7 matches to pinch top-spot. On the way, he scored the highest score of the season – an incredible 2,660 – in Round 19. He followed that up with a 2,542 score the next week which was enough to rank him 3rd in Australia for the week.

Knock-Out Cup

Seeded 8th, browny_wce knocked off Fletch74, before being eliminated by elephants in round 2. Finished in 13th position.

Finals

Top of the ladder comes with a certain amount of pressure in the finals! And browny was upset in the first week, falling to 16th placed Cicjose in the first week to be eliminated. He finished a respectable 9th after winning his remaining three matches.

In the All-Star finals, lost his elimination final by an agonising 12 points to McRooster. Amazingly, the minor premier was out of the running in both competitions after Week 1.

Rivalries

A 2-1 record over McRooster, and a 1-2 record against MTTY were the highlights. Cicjose took him out when it mattered most for there 1-1 ledger, and browny had Fletch74, korza and valkorum (all 2-0) covered. Elephants defeated browny_wce both times they played.

Will be known for his valiant efforts in the KO Cup, and was never an easy beat in either DT or SC.

Regular Season

Slow out of the DT Gates, with only 1 win to show from his first 6 outings. From there BratPack found consistency, having two separate 6 match winning streaks, and 3 wins in the last round landed him in 11th spot.

SC wise, BratPack could never string enough matches together to make the top 16. Made a late charge in the final rounds, but ultimately fell short in 21st spot.

Knock-Out Cup

At one point it looked like BratPack was going to take out both DT and SC versions of the KO Cup. Despite being seeded 23rd and 27th respectively, BratPack knocked out RobsOverAchievers, valkorum and thornz23 in DT, and naste, thornz23 and Marcz in SC over the first 3 weeks of the competition.
In the DT final 4, BratPack took on 2nd seed Flame, but fell short by 51 points.
In the SC final 4, BratPack convincingly took out 2nd seed reesbr, and faced CrowsFan in the final. BratPack had his highest score of the year with 2,668 – the third highest score of any elxam coach through the year – but remarkably CrowsFan scored the year’s highest score in 2,762.
The KO final of CrowsFan (2,762) defeated BratPack (2,668) was one of the games of the year.

Finals

Knocked out by Marcz in the first week of the DT Overall finals, and by Prospector in the Victorian elimination finals.
Did not make the finals in either SC competition, and did not play a significant role in the lower finals.

Rivalries

Played Marcz 4 times, including in the Overall DT finals and in the Quarter Finals of the KO Cup, for 3 wins and 1 loss. The 1 loss was in the finals however! Had an even ledger of 2-2 with both Prospector_1 and thornz23, and won 3 out of 5 times against Hellopplz. Defeated Junktimer and Boomz all three times each they played, but Dual Premier CFC 1979 had him covered all 3 times.

BoredSaint struggled to score high, struggled for consistency, but didn’t struggle putting the wins on the board.

Regular Season

Despite finishing 21st overall, BoredSaint won enough games to finish 8th overall. The biggest winning streak BoredSaint had was only 4 matches, and he never lost more than 2 matches in a row. Would often score well over 2300 one week, and below 2000 the next! Hovered around the lower parts of the 16 for most of the season, but winning 3 in the last week shot him to 8th.

Knock-Out Cup

Upset Fletch74 in the first round, but was promptly knocked out the next round by dylsta05, and slumped to 16th spot.

Finals

After knocking out reesbr in the first week of the overall finals, BoredSaint could not get past thornz23 the next week. Won the last 2 play-offs to finish 5th.

Faired better in the All-Star finals, earning a week off after defeating Barlow 21 in week 1, and defeated McRooster in the preliminary final. Played in the Grand Final against MTTY, but MTTY was simply too good and won by 101 points. But it was enough to give BoredSaint a bit of silverware.

Rivalries

Grand Finals are always a good basis for rivalries! But in the two times BoredSaints and MTTY played this year, MTTY had him covered with a 69 point Round 10 defeat adding to the 101 point Grand Final defeat. Defeated Barlow 21, Cruiseon, Prospector_1 and reesbr all 8 times they played (twice each)- an impressive feat given all 4 of those coaches had good seasons. While he could not get past Maca24, MajorLazer and thornz23 in 6 attempts (twice each).

What to say about Boomz? He was close in many aspects, but in the end did not get the runs on the board.

Regular Season

In Dream Team, Boomz won at least one match every week in the first 8 rounds, to have him well placed at the half-way mark in 11th spot. But then, the wheels fell off epically and Boomz suffered a 10 match losing streak, before gaining some credibility with 4 of the last 5 matches to finish in 21st spot.

SuperCoach saw Boomz have terrible beginnings (2 wins from first 8 ) and dreadful finishes (1 win from last 9). A strong middle-session had Boomz win 9 from 10, which put him as high as 11th spot. But slipped to finish 20th.

Knock-Out Cup

Knocked out ossie85 in the first round of the DT KO Cup, but was narrowly beaten by Flame in the second round, and finished 15th.

Knocked out in first round of the SC version, and slipped to 29th.

Finals

Made the finals only in the SC All-Stars league, but was eliminated first round by McRooster. In the overall lower finals, Boomz did enough to maintain 20th spot, which could prove crucial for next year’s placings.

Rivalries

Played benjy (3-1), McRooster (3-1) and pyronerd (2-2) each four times with good results, and defeated dylsta05 three out of five times. Defeated ossie85 all 3 times they played, but lost to BratPack all 3 times.

2012

DT Qualified: 2nd Tier Leagues. BUT is currently holding a place in the Champions league pending entry from other coaches who finished higher on the ladder.

SC Qualified: 2nd Tier Leagues.
