Long Jump
Event 2: GW15, 16, 17

Points: Highest Scoring Player's points converted to a distance
(All 15 Squad members included - Captain's points NOT doubled)
Foul: Foul jump if any of the squad's 1st 11 gets either a Red Card, an Own Goal or a Penalty Miss
Distance (cm) = 610 + (5 x FactoredPoints)

Factored Points are points scored, (be that GW score, Sum of MIDs etc), multiplied by 50/Average GW Score

That's me in the league.

Please excuse my ignorance of the foul rule here but is that a big fat zero for Keane fans?

It shows more style waiting til the later rounds to register a legal jump....

Hold your horses m'lud. If Keane's appeal is successful, maybe on closer examination, the plasticene is unmarked?

The Welsh contingent have clearly been training hard at altitude up the Welsh moutains. *Monkey Magic* and Tort have both put in excellent first attempts along with Carlos the Finger, Bagpuss, Slarty and stay classy. We have no Englishmen or even any Brits putting in a similar performance.

Papa Giddy, Sligorover and brogie opt for very safe jumps. Perhaps our eleven foul jumpers should take note for attempt two.

Some of the reasons for the disqualifications were quite unusal. After the disaster in the 100 meters SgB decided to jump in his powerskips.



His 18.72 meter jump was, of course, disqualified.

murf got confused and opened a stall in the infield.

flyingkillercob was reminded by officials that flying is not permitted in the long jump.

djnuttie ran straight through the long jump pit and out of the staduim. Official are trying to catch him up to let him know it's a long jump not a marathon.

UEM grmble he's not built for this event, but wait for the shot put!

I was too Keane, you see

WHATEVER, are you an American in exile in East Anglia? I'm not liking the look of words like "meters" and "Results Center"

You'd have to contact our sponsors Romyn PG Database Enterprises plc for that one

The proof reader is indeed an American and therefore the spelling of Center is down to him. There were no complaints last year and his services were secured again for this year. (He's a nice chap so I wouldn't want to upset him)

He does, however, take no responsibility for the use of the word Meter

Its not going to well- last week , this week good score but foul jump

Many competitors have managed to squeeze out a few extra centimetres to improve their decathlon scores this week, but the leaders remain unchanged. Quite a few fouls once again this week.

Fingerpass and Hairybear look to be in deep trouble hear with their second foulds in a row. Both made big jumps but marked the plasticine. I'm sure they Scharn't be Keane to score zero for the long jump. It will be a long way back in this competition if they don't record a safe jump this week.

Bloody Scharner

I would have nearly jumped out the pit with that leap as well

I needed that! I AM SO GLAD I DITCHED MILLER!

Same here. After finishing last in the 100m and failing my first long jump attempt things weren't looking too promising. Glad to finally be doing something right in this comp!

It's not looking good for Hairybear.

Is a sending off, then a own goal and finally a missed pen considered a classic foul out?

It's like taking performance-enhancing drugs, stamping all over the plasticine, then walking the wrong way out of the sand!

M-Boy almost jumps out of the sand pit to take first place in the long jump. In the most inspirsed transfer in FPL history he brought in Marcus Bent. M-Boy moves into first place overall. Many other athletes saved the best until last squeezing out some vital extra points.







Two of Hairybear's fans explain to him exactly what they think of his long jump performance.

Please do NOT tell me how far I would have jumped if I hadn't sold Gallas and benched Rocky Santa Claus last week....

Maybe i'm missing something, it looks like i got less for scoring 17 points in GW than all those who best score was 16 (in GW 3)

?

Could it have anything to do with the 4 point hits for making more than one change each week?

It's to do with the "factored points", which depend on the GW average. Doing well in a low-scoring GW is a distinct advantage here.

You are wise indeed in the way of decathlon flyingkillercob

Well impressed at the thought put into this .

Hairybear's doing as well in this as he would in a real decathlon. He's a HORRIBLE athlete.

That's the trick... all scores are levelled to a gameweek average. This is a new feature introduced by this years FISOlympic organising committee, (WHATEVER), think of it as adjusting for altitude - and prevents dbl-gws etc perverting the scores.

To do well you have not only to score well but also to score well compared to everyone else.

It's all in the Rules - but no one reads those

...But no rule changes alter this fact

Not sure I got the gist of this event....... It was to build the biggest sand castle right?



I'd have thought for my effort I would have got alot more points

Shame
