murf's Early Doors Cup 2010-11

[forestfan]

Forgot I had to sign up for a league. Guess I'm out of this one then.

Sorry, 'fraid so.

Looks like 3 didn't register picks for today:
69 0 Herc6
69 0 Mintman
69 0 Karrde

are you sure murf?

[murf]

I can't be sure of anything with all these glitches

[murf]

Shame we can't in any way work out the scores yet but I think I'm safe on 7. Just clicked on a few of you at random and there are 5s and 6s out there. Also a 3.

So with just seven teams to be kicked out I should be safe even if I screw up on monday night.

Hopefully enough people will have been just as rubbish so that I might at least sneak through on a tie

ROUND 1 RESULTS

It appears you only needed 3 points to survive - but 3 folks failed to even get that and are hence evicted from the competition with their tails between their legs.

3 others are showing up on 0 points as they did not enter. However, I know Mintman did by PM (to Jester before the official deadline) and he got 6 points so goes through. Herc6 and Karrde are out if they didn't do things this way.

66 remain and will be whittled down to 32 (+ ties) this weekend.

I might not be around much to announce the results so if anyone else feels confident enough then please do.

3 points
Way to go!!

I did try and find an obscure rule to kick out all of you with a pathetic score of 3 but I just couldn't find one.....

[PensiveGrebe]

Pleased to be through with mighty 3.

I was going to offer excuses such as the number 6 wasn't working on my keyboard, or that I fielded a weakened set of predictions to save my brain cells for TFF.

However, it was probably just a crap effort.

No point peaking too soon in early rounds. johnnyhp's boys will probably be knackered after getting 12 points so he'll have his work cut out to keep them all fresh for the next games.

[AJC1964]

at the moment everything is out of place on FISO Goals. ive entered both weeks with 6pts 1st week and at least 10pts on wk2. none of the leaderboards including the mini and main show me with 16pts min

The only leaderboards I can see as working are the weekly tables for our minileague. Weeks 1 and 2 are, err, weeks 42 and 43 because they follow on from last year's 41 weeks. Week 43 is therefore the one quoted above.

I presume the totals are last years + weeks 1 & 2 this year.

Hopefully it will all be fixed soon but thankfully we can make do (for this comp) til then.

[Shaggy365]

... so if 3 was a good enough score to get through, and I scored 8 (but don't ask me how), can I bank 5 for the next round to ease my qualification?

[DrBunker]

Just rediscovered this thread and assumed with my recent efforts that my competition was over before it started but somehow I'm still in this.

If I don't win now I'll be amazed.

[ianmorrison81]

Scraped through with a measly 3, now for the real action!

[flyingkillercob]

I'm just worried I've peaked too early with 7

Real shame I'm out with 0 seems my tips didn't work lol. Oh well.

[Ironfist]

err, murf m'lad, I'm afraid there's a wee mistake in my scores there...

My results show;
GW1 - 6
GW2 - 9
(GW3 - 6)

Shouldn't that be enough to place me in the 'Safe' group?

I think the scores go on each week so your 6 this week was not enough to go through. wk 1 and 2 have gone so even if u top scored in GW 1 or 2 it still does not help you this week. Sorry (I Think I that's right)

Thanks for carrying my 5 points across. Wouldn't have survived the cut if you hadn't done me that little favour.

[Knulpuk]

Oooh by the skin of teeth.

No point in doing more than is required

Oh dear.
i meant to put Villa v Everton as 1-0 not 0-0 so i would have had 10 points.
Give me 3 points and we'll call it quits OK?

Exactly. You have to be in the top half(ish) each and every week to get through.

Just 16 from 33 make it next time....

Come on murf, 6 was a pretty sound score this week, now if you were talking about the week before, THEN it was a shite score
