Euro 2012 : Official PAS Euro invite

Written by

Hola!

Not long to go now….

We’ve had an amazing repsonse to this – about 55 of you in so the prize money is gonna be bumper! Thanks for taking part…

I’ll be sending another “last chance” email to the whole PAS group so you can ignore that – however, don’t ignore…

  1. “Group” scoresheets attached – make note of the deadline date & time!
  2. Top 16 draw attached – teams drawn by the Top 16 finishers in the last PAS league season will earn extra points for every goal their “team” scores throughout the tournament.
  3. Rules attached for your perusal – read if you’re not sure or read if you are and would like a reminder!
  4. I’m off to the Balearics on Sat so you may or may not get reminders throughout next week – I’ll be sending my first day scores around on Friday just in case I can’t get online to submit my scores on Friday 8th @ 16.59.
  5. Please pay up promptly – if you have already, I love you even more…

Cheers,
Pab

Euro 2012 : The Draw!

Written by

Hola!

The draw as it happened…

  • England – Nick H
  • Greece – Olly O
  • Germany – Alex R
  • France – Jamie T
  • Holland – Matt G
  • Czech Rep – Neil T
  • Denmark – Savan A
  • Poland – Rowan M
  • Eire – Dan P
  • Croatia – Simon Linds
  • Ukraine – Pab – grrrr!
  • Italy – Simon B
  • Sweden – Josh H
  • Portugal – Jack B
  • Russia – Stuart L
  • Spain – Gareth M

The draw was made by PAS newbie Chris Birch in the pub last Friday and he’s already had a bad start to his PAS career (see draw!).

Anyway, this means the Top 16 (from PAS Lucky 13 Spring 2012) will earn 1pt for every goal their “team” scores throughout the tournament (and no, extra time & pens won’t count!)

We’ve had a fab response so far and I will be closing the door for entry on Friday week (May 25th) – a bumper pot of money means it may be harder not to win anything this time round!

Entry fee is £15 if your name doesn’t appear on the “Euro Draw” above.

And finally, lest we forget, the 2008 final table is attached – will Jon T successfully defend his title?

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Spring 2012 : Week 13 Roundup

Written by

Thanks again for taking part – I hope you’ll join us for Euro 12 in June and “Winter 12” in September…

All prize winners – money will be winging its way over very soon – congrats!

“Rwoy”:
You have to say hats off to someone who amassed a third of their overall total points in the last three weeks of the season to become our youngest champion ever (and likely to be forever!) Young man, you’re timing is impeccable and I doubt you’ll need any pocket money for a while… Congrats, you’re a winner – Josh Hirst 315 (48). Take a boo son!
Josh had a 2 point lead over Nick Hogwood in second place, our Week 2 winner who just ran out of steam when it mattered – your timing was very much “peccable”…the “expansive scores” ambassador Savan Arora finishes just 1 point behind in third place and 2 points above El Presidente in fourth spot (I had that first title in my sight and I blew it…if Southampton had managed another goal I was in! Like my bruvver told me, never trust a Scummer…)
Gareth Morgan adds to his PAS Cup riches by finishing 5th one point ahead of Stuart Longworth who had a fine season & Top Ten finish, in 6th.
Champions League finalist Jamie Tofeili ended up in seventh place (topping a Blue Moon week!) 1 correct score above Simon Lindsay (good luck in the new job mate!) in eighth, who in turn finishes 1 point above Olly Osmond in ninth (and he’ll be celebrating finishing above Neil T again!).
Dan Pelgrom finishes in 10th place (currently cursing Exeter City!) and nets the last of the “big prizes”
“’Arry”:
You have to say he had a right good go at it but Reda Allam takes the wooden spoon this season after a gallant tussle with Vim G to avoid the humiliation of last place! Let’s hope Rich L doesn’t rub it in at work too much mate!
Spot Prizers:
OK, you have finished on these positions and you HAVE won those prizes!
Neil T on 11th, Matt G on 12th, Jamie S on 17th, Stephen S on 23rd, Martin S & Clare T on 30th,Francesca F on 33rd, Sean P on 34th, Ben H on 41st, Charlie H on 48th, Neil B & Tony S on 52nd, Ellen F on 59th, Neil O on 66th, Dave N on 67th, and Matt W on 68th.
Champions League 2012/13:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS CL 2012/13 you had to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Sneaking the last spot… Danny Ashworth!
If you’ve finished in the Top 32 you HAVE qualified for the PAS Champions League – if you so wish! You can say “no thanks” if you want but why would you do that eh?!
It will cost you £25 (“Winter 12” & CL Group stages) but remember you are guaranteed entry to PAS Lucky 13 Spring 13 (if you qualify for the CL knockout stages or not!) and at the reduced rate £20 – bargain!
Plus, seeing as you’re *that good* at PAS, you’ll probably be in the PAS Cup anyway fighting on three fronts for glory & cash and who knows, maybe a historic treble!
PAS Euro 2012:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS Euro 2012 you had to finish in the Top 16 after 13 weeks of play. Sneaking the last spot… Simon Buxton!
If you’ve finished in the Top 16, you HAVE qualified for PAS Euro 12 – if you so wish! You can say “no thanks” if you want but why would you do that eh?!
It will cost £10 (for the whole tournament) AND you will be “drawn” a team that will earn you 1pt for each goal they score in the tournament.
If you finished outside the Top 16, you can still play (come on!), but it’ll cost you £15 and you obviously won’t be allocated a team to earn you extra points… there’s £100 in the pot already so well worth getting involved either way eh?!
And Another Thing:
The other little bits…
Josh Hirst picked up an additional £10 for getting the Best Weekly Score of the Season – 45(9)
Martin Stafford picked up £9 for getting the Best Correct Score of the Season – Inverness CT 2 Hibs 3.
Neil Templeton and Gareth Morgan are currently playing out the PAS Cup Final (latest score 29 – 22) and Clare Templeton and Jamie Tofeili will contest the inaugural PAS CL Final – don’t worry, you will be kept up-to-date on the final scores!
Thanks again to all for taking time and bothering to enter – and a final big thank you to Dave N for providing all the behind the scenes techky stuff to enable another great season…
For definite, we’ll see the Top 16 (for PAS Euro 12) in June & Top 32 (for PAS CL) in September – you can join in too remember! Spread the word and get all your mates involved for next season or why not get them in for Euro 12?

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Spring 2012 : Week 13 Update 2…

Written by

My word we had an exciting finish – the drip feed of news updates will continue…

Good Kompany:
There’s something afoot – three out of the last four “Week 13’s” an Arora brother has come up trumps. In “Spring 11”, Big Sam emulated his brother’s final week winning feat of “Winter 10” and now it’s come back round again! Yep, Savan Arora 32 (4) has a 4-0 to thank for nudging Alex R down to runner up to snatch the final £20 of the season…
This How It Feels To Be Smalling:
Not the best week to get a lo-score (just ask me!) and unfortunately Nick Hogwood 12 (1) did just that…
Correct Score of the Week:
Not a bumper week for many… Sam A & Stuart L got the 0-0 at Oakwell, 8 got Millwall’s 2-2 v the Tangerine Dream and Rob C/Isaac A/Gareth M got the 2-2 at Tannadice. 9 got Southampton 4 Coventry City 0, 7 got the 2-2 between The Shots & The Millers and Craig B & Rowan M got the 2-2 for Sunderland-Bolton. Rich H & Stuart L (again!) got WBA 0 Villa 0 and Paul H & Craig B (again!) got Celtic 3 Rangers 0.
Best correct score of the week? Not got one! It may even be a first as we did not have one single unique correct score – wow!
PAS Champions League 2011/12:
The Final between Clare Templeton & Jamie Tofeili will take place on w/e May 13/14/15/19
PAS Cup 2011/12:
The Final between Neil Templeton & Gareth Morgan will take place on over May 5/6/7/8/9/19
And Another Thing:
Full final table news and round up to follow – did you win some glory & money??!

Cheers,
Pab

Expect full results & final table by the end of the week.

Scoresheet now available for the PAS Cup Final 2012 (so you can see what you’re missing!) between Neil T & Gareth M.

Bon chance chaps – and don’t forget to play your joker!

L13 Spring 2012 : Week 12 Roundup

Written by

Hola!
Last week then and all to play for still! Will Nick H hold on? Will Josh H storm to a stunning victory? Will I win my first league title in 21 years of trying??!

How apt we end the season with a classic Manc derby – scoresheets back by 12.29 on Saturday please!

“Full of wonder and surprise”:
In his own words he had his “worst week ever” last week but this week, not only has he topped the points tsunami that is Josh H (86 points in two weeks!!!), he’s also gone and won the second last £20 weekly prize! Olly Osmond 42 (8) is running round like a crazy horse…
“And just now I realize”:
A good few debutants get a reality check after the initial “beginners luck” phase – this week it’s the turn of Jack Buxton 7(0) and it’s all but ended his title challenge too – bah!
Correct Score of the Week:
Another spartan week… – most popular score was Bristol City 2 Barnsley 0 – 21 of you got that!
7 got the 0-0 at Villa Park (phew!), 6 got Newcastle Utd’s 3-0 v Stoke and 8 got Peterboro’s 2-2 against Watford. 5 got the 2-1 in Teesside.
Will O / Clare T got the 0-3 between The ‘Well and the Bhoys, Craig B got the 5 pointer at Hearts & Sam A got Liverpool 0 WBA 1.
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Jamie Tofeili for his inspired QPR 1 Sp*rs 0.
Bet of the Week:
Another blank week leaves spot prize spot 48th blank too…

Table News:

“Now I believe that dreams come true”:
Nick Hogwood stays top now only 5 points clear of the rampant Josh H who in turn is 2 points ahead of your Host in third as the scrap for prize places is going to be the most exciting for many a season…
“This just can’t be coincidence”:
Reda Allam stays bottom of the pile a seemingly unassailable eighteen points behind Vim G who in turn is five points behind Dave N…
“And my sadness disappears”:
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 31 places is Olly Osmond – honourable mentions go to Simon Linds (+10), Tony M (+10), Clare T (+10) and Paul V (+13).
“Clouds just disappear”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 12 places is Mark Seels – dishonourable mentions go to Jack B (-8), Scott H (-9), Louise B (-11) and Jason M (-9).
PAS Champions League 2011/12:
Congrats to our two finalists who both went through quite comprehensively – full results attached. Losers – the money is on the way…
PAS Cup 2011/12:
The Final between Neil Templeton & Gareth Morgan will take place on w/e May 4/5/6
PAS Euro 2012:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS Euro 2012 (and pay a reduced entry fee of £10 for the whole tournament!) you will have to finish in the Top 16 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… Toon! Toon!, Jon Tofeili.
PAS Champions League 2012/13:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS Champions League 2012/13 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… the heiress, Francesca Fernandez.
And Another Thing:
Euro 12 qualification – a clarification!

If you finish in the Top 16 come end of play on Week 13, you will invited to play PAS Euro 12 for a mere £10 AND you will be “drawn” a team that will earn you 1pt for each goal they score in the tournament. If you finish outside the Top 16, you can still play, but it’ll cost you £15 and you obviously won’t be allocated a team to earn you extra points… there’s £100 in the pot already so well worth getting involved either way eh?!

Cheers,
Pab
