murf's 6 Nations Egg Chasing Predictions Knockout Cup 2018

Post by murf »

Welcome to the ELEVENTH(!), yes eleventh, annual Egg Chasing Predictions Knockout Cup run by me here on FISO - 10 year anniversary too. Wahoo.

The role of champions reads
2008: thelip
2009: Rookster
2010: amcal59
2011: Big Bird
2012: Big Bird (again!)
2013: Zoolander
2014: Rookster (beating Big Bird in final)
2015: Minitoff (beating Alchemist in final)
2016: Spinynorman (beating yorkshiredragon in final)
2017: Spencer 4 (beating robot in final)

We all know that, even after 10 years of this Predicting malarkey, Egg Chasing remains incredibly dull and is just a way of posh kids using up a bit of pent up energy so they don't get too carried away when it comes to what they see as the main event afterwards - the communal showering.

Anyways, some posh kid at a posh school picked up a football years ago, turned it into an egg and invented a sport called Rugby. For some unknown reason he wasn't rightly beaten up by sane football loving kids but spawned a sport now played at international level across the world, well in and around the UK and a few places down under. All weird I know but a good excuse for another predictions comp .......

HOW THE CUP WORKS

There will be 5 weekends of matches, starting on Saturday 4th Feb, and the cup will have 5 rounds

Wk 1, 3/4 Feb - Last 32
Wk 2, 10/11 Feb - Last 16
Week off - wimps
Wk 3, FRIDAY 23/Sat 24 Feb - Last 8
Another week off - pathetic
Wk 4, 10/11 Mar - Semis
Wk 5, 17 March - Final

Each week will be straightforward knockout (if we get 32 entrants).

I am therefore limiting it to the first 32 entrants on a first pick (legally) first served basis - , strictly no altar egos or multi-entering etc etc. No reserving a space - you have to pick - edits allowed til first kick off.

If we get to 32 I will close the drawbridge and do a draw. If we do not get to 32 then the 16 highest scores go through round 1 (Last year we actually made it to 32 so don't hang around). If less than 16 (hope not!) then we will add scores from Rds 1 and 2 and have the top 8 getting through.

HOW TO PICK
For each of the 3 games listed just state which team you think will win and by how many points (you must nominate your winner and cannot select the draw). YOU MUST FOLLOW THE TEMPLATE OR RISK DISQUALIFICATION

HOW THE SCORING WORKS
For each game you start with 50 points and lose 1 for each point you are out. There will be 10 bonus points available if you get it spot on so a maximum score of 180 across the 3 games is possible. If your team only draws you lose an additional 5 points. If your team loses you lose an additional 10 points.

Example - You pick England to win by 22 points.

Eng win by 22: Spot on: 50 + 10 bonus = 60
Eng win by 24: Out by 2: 50 - 2 = 48
Eng win by 1: Out by 21: 50 - 21 = 29
Eng draw: Out by 22 and 5 pts off for draw: 50 - 22 - 5 = 23
Eng lose by 6: Out by 28 (22 + 6) and 10 points off for defeat: 50 - 28 - 10 = 12
Eng lose by 20: Out by 42 (22 + 20) and 10 poinst off for defeat: 50 - 42 - 10 = -2

Tie-break: In the event of a tie, matches will be decided as followed: closest to England result, closest to Welsh result, closest to Scottish result, closest to Ireland result, first to pick.

Rules:
1. My word is law
2. Edits allowed until first kick off then strictly no edits allowed.
3. Late entries allowed until subsequent kick offs.

HOW TO ENTER
Just enter your picks on the thread (If you aren't ready just put any results down - you can always think about it later and edit)

Right, now the midweek footie is out of the way, thoughts must surely turn to this weekend - and the egg chasing.

Best give this another BUMP as entries are low and it STARTS TOMORROW.

Just pick your 3 likely winners from the opening 6 Nations games and their margins of victory.

EDIT Needn't have bothered as forestfan bumped it for me but the plug remains! Only 15 spaces left.

22 in now so, at least, 6 will be knocked out this weekend to set us up for a last 16 knockout.

10 more entrants (for that is how many spaces remain unfilled) and we can have this as proper velvet bag knockout (with added Kylie!) rather than just 'best 16'.
