Brentbaines' Drinking Milkshakes is the best performing non-TDK slate, and it is beating a couple of TDK slates. However, they still have Eagle Eye to release, so will probably end up beating him.

Really, if you didn't have TDK, you were dead in this round.

matchups aside, did ANY non-TDK slate beat ANY TDK slate?

That was going to be fun-fact number 2.. Oh well, SS has answered the question, so i'll think of another 'fun fact' in its place.

FUN FACT #2: THE DARK KNIGHT - ULT

It made over $520 million, got you over 30 top 5 points, 20 PTA points, and a used rating of 9.1. Basically, if you didn't have it; you were screwed.

Of the 44 participants in the ultimates league, 31 of them had it. It is no surprise that those 31 will then go on to occupy spots 1-31 while us with Hancock will languish down at the bottom.

To make it clear HOW important TDK was, i picked a full slate that included 8 scoring movies with a pretty good IMDB score. However, my opponent picked only 7 movies and not only will he beat me, he is beating my by over 50 points and 15 places.

FUN FACT #3: THE DARK KNIGHT - BO

In the BoxOffice competition, The Dark Knights $520 million take will be enough to beat 27 FULL slates, also known as the 27 slates that don't have TDK.

It looks like not a single slate that is TDK-less will be able to make it past the 500 million mark, and the 17 people who picked it in BO will easily place 1-17.

I believe I have been the victim of a clean sweep.
By not having TDK in either my box office or ultimate slates and having my more successful Bankrupts slate disqualified by Blindness's move, in New Zealand parlance, I have 'sucked the kumara'.

For an explanation of that phrase:

Mmmmmmm....kumaras.

I haven't had one of those since '81 when I was last in NZ. Although I never 'sucked' one, gee they tasted good.

hmmm interesting colloquialism...

Donte Fun Fact # 1.

I am in 7th place overall in Ult which is awesome with this level of competition. And lost since Ash got 1st. I am the highest ranking loser. To put that more into perspective I am the only slate in the top 10 to lose my matchup and I am the highest ranking slate from my team currently. The next highest USA slate was Spyspeeder in 8th place and he won his match.

Good slate Ash and good job so far to the RoW.

Ladies and gentelemen.. There is now officially NOTHING you can do but wait for the Fantasy Moguls update. It is a matter of time. Results will start going up one by one as soon as the updates are done (and when i am online obviously).. There will also be a running tally.

Good luck to all (unless you're from the US)..

Bite me, commie bastard.

So J.I, we'll call it 2-0 my way, with both of us getting DQ'ed in the Bankrupts? I got a bit lucky in the BO one, but since you did even more appallingly, it gave me both rubbers. Maybe next time...

Remember guys.. don't tally up the points.. Discussing who won is perfectly fine, just no point-related posts please..

FYI, 2-0, 2-1, 3-0 etc are NOT points so go ahead and make fun of each other all you want fellas.. I'm sure StnMan is wanting to add salt to my wounds as well..

Nah mate, what you said before was perfectly fine as well.. The points are these:

The points will be awarded like this:

1 point for a league win
1 point each for an overall tie
3 points for the overall win (ie: best of three)
5 points for a clean sweep (ie: 3-0)

For example. If player A and player B were to compete and player A wins ALL THREE LEAGUES, then:

Players A:
1 point for winning BO
1 point for winning ULT
1 point for winning BR
3 points for winning the tie
5 points for a 3-0 clean sweep

which means he would get 11 points for his team.

If Player A were to win 2 leagues and Player B wins one, then:

Player A:
1 point for winning BO
1 point for winning BR
3 points for winning the tie

Player B:
1 point for winning ULT

which means Player A would get 5 points and Player B would get 1 point.
---

All the individual points will then be added, and the team with more points in the end obviously wins in the end.

Points will also be handed out on final position in the league, however, these are for individual award purposes and not for the team vs team competition.
---

You will also get points on placement in the overall league. 1st place will get 3 points, 2 place will get 2 points, and third place will get the 1 point.
