Now that the 4 semi-finalists have been decided we have the small matter of the last Man Standing possibles and probables.
Before the Sharks v Western Force game kicks off we have following people still in the running.
Alberton – Auto & General Lions
Blue Blood – Vodacom Cheetahs
Blue Kevan – Emirates Western Force
Bullebakke – Auto & General Lions
diabolical – Auto & General Lions
Dylanators – Auto & General Lions
Hertford Highlanders – Auto & General Lions
Hydras – Auto & General Lions
Palookas – Auto & General Lions
Sandkruipers – Auto & General Lions
The dream team – Vodacom Cheetahs
The Punters – The Sharks
WPW’s Poofters – Auto & General Lions
The teams in bold are the ones with all lifelines intact. Diabolical, Hertford Highlanders, Hydras, Sandkruipers and WPW’s poofters are the lucky ones at the moment. it pretty simple really, they have all chosen the Lions to win this weekend meaning they will either all be orange or all be green after this round. If the Lions win then they are the only 5 in with a chance at the prizes. If however they lose then the other players will all be brought right back into the mix.
This may be a little complicated, but stay awake and pay attention. 😛 If the Lions win then only The Green 5 will be in it, and no other players will be in contention. By default if the Lions lose then the orange players who have chosen the Lions will be dead so I will not use them in the following assumptions. Yes I DO know that assumption is the mother of all cock-ups.
Of the oranges “Stormers bo” has already survived his Rnd 14 match after picking the Waratahs to win. This leaves us with Blue Blood (Cheetahs), Blue Kevan (Force), The dream team (Cheetahs) and The Punters (The Sharks) who will POSSIBLY do battle, or as it turns out HAVE ALREADY been doing battle along with The Green 5 for overall honours since the start of the Super 14.
If you read the rules of the competition you will know that Rule #9 reads as follows: Should the pool stages of the competition be completed and more than one player is still standing then a tie break will be used to decide the winner. Any player having used a lifeline will be eliminated. If there is still more than one player left standing then participation in Sharksworld discussions over the course of the 2010 Super 14 will be the final tiebreaker.
Now we DO NOT know who has been the most active participant since the start of the Super 14 but, from my time spent on the site I would say that the players I have seen around the most are Diabolical (Diablo), Hertford Highlanders, The dream team (Richard Ferguson) and WPW’s poofters.
The final “count” will only take place after the Super 14 final, so there is still time for others to come into reckoning and some of our front runners to fall off the pace.

I am planning on writing several one line meaningless articles between now and the final !
WPW ….no doubt will be doing the same ….however he seems sidetracked by his success in some other competition….i don’t think i entered that 😉
@Hertford Highlander (Comment 3) : `
Rob and i still need to discuss the articles. I think it gives you guys an unfair advantage over the non authors. 😛
@KSA Shark © (Comment 4) :
Good call….. my articles are rubbish anyway….plus Wes’s updates of who the Streamers have selected bore everyone outside Capetown lol
@Hertford Highlander (Comment 5) : 😆 😆 😆
You two are going to have fun with the trashtalk these next two weeks. 😛
@KSA Shark © (Comment 6) :

@rekinek (Comment 8) : Thanks, but I better start upping my trashtalk contributions pronto 😉

and what now (that snoiL messed LMS)?
So after the Lions match we have
Blue Blood(scrat) picked Vodacom Cheetahs – CORRECT PICK!
The dream team(kabous) picked Vodacom Cheetahs – CORRECT PICK!
=========================
diabolical(diablo) picked Auto & General Lions – INCORRECT PICK – PLAYER STILL HAS 1 LIFELINE
Sandkruipers(sandkruipers) picked Auto & General Lions – INCORRECT PICK – PLAYER STILL HAS 1 LIFELINE
Hydras(q-ball) picked Auto & General Lions – INCORRECT PICK – PLAYER STILL HAS 1 LIFELINE
Hertford Highlanders(hertford-highlander) picked Auto & General Lions – INCORRECT PICK – PLAYER STILL HAS 1 LIFELINE
WPW’s Poofters(wpw) picked Auto & General Lions – INCORRECT PICK – PLAYER STILL HAS 1 LIFELINE
======================
Dylanators(robdylan) picked Auto & General Lions – INCORRECT PICK – PLAYER IS NOW DEAD !
Bullebakke(bullebak) picked Auto & General Lions – INCORRECT PICK – PLAYER IS NOW DEAD !
Palookas(pissant) picked Auto & General Lions – INCORRECT PICK – PLAYER IS NOW DEAD !
Alberton(alberton) picked Auto & General Lions – INCORRECT PICK – PLAYER IS NOW DEAD !
So after the completion of round 14 (Nobody picked the Bulls or Stormers) we have 9 survivors
The Green 5 who are of course no longer green and 4 other who have joined them.
Blue Blood
diabolical
Hertford Highlanders
Hydras
Sandkruipers
Stormers Bo
The dream team
The Punters
WPW’s Poofters
I AM glad to see that even with a team conspiring against us and losing all their games that, should we take the training wheels off, nobody will be left standing at the end. 😛
@KSA Shark © (Comment 20) :
So those will be the 9 players in the running for the tie breaker up to the day of the final.
Alrighty then!! 🙄
KSA Shark
Have I ever told you that you’re an awesome dude?? 😈
Just in case gatkruiping is allowed!!
Well done guys and good luck. 🙁
Going to have to up my commenting on here now.. Although I do think that I’m miles behind commentating Hertford!
This is now 3 LMS competitions and I am still not dead, surely that counts for some extra points? Rob? I’m unbeaten in 3 seasons.. Give a man a break..
Haha
Richard
How about a Noddy badge? 😀
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 28) :
Let’s see how you do when the training wheels come off? 😈
@KSA Shark © (Comment 30) : Are we losing the lifeline? That should be fun!
@wpw (Comment 29) : A noddy badge would be appreciated, but won’t win me anything now will it?
Ok ok! You drive a hard bargain!

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 31) :
I will initiate a discussion with Rob . 😛
Most important thing to go (one of the training wheels) IMO would be that if you pick a drawn game it is NOT considered as a win. You are supposed to pick a winning team not a “non-losing” team.
And then I will try for the lifeline to be pulled as well.
Opinions anyone?
I’m all for the draw being classified as a loss.. I was under the impression that I was out when the chiefs had drawn their game.
Also, in the super 14, you gat to pick every team once, but in the currie cup one, the games work out that you don’t have to pick each team twice, meaning that a terrible team might get away from being picked..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 34) : well, they have so comprehensively screwed up the Currie Cup fixture list this year that I don’t see how LMS is even going to be possible.
no lifeline for the currie cup is fine cause there are 2 free picks. i think its needed for s14 or it could be a short competition.
WPW is this a sign of things to come?
You had an almost unasailable lead.
Final T20 standings
1 Hmmm 33.93
2 wpw 33.13 🙁
@KSA Shark © (Comment 37) :
England won by 7 wickets??????? 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯
@wpw (Comment 32) : neee the honorary are usually given to old and wrinkled – he’s too young
Haha! Thanx rekinek, I am way too young to be receiving honorary anything!
I can’t believe the english won the T20, esp after the start they had! So much for going close in the T20 SB, I prob finished around 7th now. At least I had a decent score in the F1 round!
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 40) : perhaps this nagging is your best bet after all but let’s rename the awards 😀
@KSA Shark © (Comment 37) :
I saw that!!
Can’t believe I was supporting the Aussies last night and the one time I do so they disappoint in a FINAL no less!! 😯 👿
once I’ve managed to touch base with Oubaas, we’ll put up a thread laying out the exact rules of the tie-breaker. Should be later today or early tomorrow.
@robdylan (Comment 43) : gonna be interesting !
@rekinek (Comment 44) : yup… might see a bit more commenting from some people 🙂
@robdylan (Comment 45) : was thinking that it’s actually quite amazing that as many as 7 people made only one mistake (which is called snoiL 🙄 ) for the entire 14 weeks. That is quite an achievement.
I reckon HH and WPW will be chatting away 😆
@rekinek (Comment 46) :
🙄
I am not that desperate for a Weber braai!! 😐
@wpw (Comment 47) : how can you not ❗ 🙄
(you can always send it my way 😉
@robdylan (Comment 45) : Doubt if any of us can catch up to wpw’s silver star
@diablo (Comment 49) :
Dudette, it does not include comments before the S14 started.
Only since this year’s S14 began until the end of the tourney!! 😉
@robdylan (Comment 43) :
Have been offline alllllday am on now
@diablo (Comment 49) : comment and you shall stime and any luck with me white jersey ❓
@KSA Shark © (Comment 51) : mystery tummy bug has extended the deadline somewhat. Check your email
