Fantasy 2009 World Snooker Competition

Post by Shaggy365 »

Greetings fellow FISO-er's.

After the success of my little competition last year, I've done another one this year. Again, it's free & no prizes, and it is open to the general public, so I need actual names, rather than FISO names.

Enter by email or PM.

Oh yes, the web-site is here

I suppose the most interesting 1st round match is Stephen Maguire v Jamie Burnett.

This is the match between these two where alleged betting irregularities happened at the UK Championship in December. A lot of money was put on Maguire winning 9-3.

Clicky

There you go. You're down to second.

That's the trouble with being the first to enter a competition. There's only one way to go.

Just like being at work. Everyone wants paying and there's only a certain amount of money. I suppose you can stay at second, until some-one else asks to be put higher up.

Nope, you're still second, although there are sufficient entrants for you to move quite a way down the table once it all starts.

A few entries in from the FISO masses, but a little disappointing. Just 7 days to get those entries in.

At least I'll be able to devote more time to running this competition now. :wink:

I'm sure there is something wrong with your scoring system as I never seem to get very many :)

Hmmm. I wonder if there could be another reason.

That's the thing about running your own competition. You get to choose your rules and you get to choose your scoring system. And to be honest, it doesn't matter what point scoring system you choose, some-one will win and every-one else won't.

I had another reason but I ruled it out.
It just couldn't be the fact I don't have a clue about who to pick

At least your entry was from those players taking part.

Jester has gone for:
A Higgins
J White
R Reardon
J Spencer
T Griffiths

Guess who's going to come last. :lol:

Maybe Jester is just very old and a bit senile and he thinks he has the winning team :)

I don't care who has a go (whether they have some sort of problem, or not :wink: )


Entry received from Mr bluenoseyparker. Another lamb to the slaughter.

Starting to see adverts on the telly about it. Hopefully it will remind people to have a go.

I've had the only wrong entry so far. Usually, I would expect to get about 2-3% of entries that over-spend because they can't add up some numbers.

Step forward Mr Murf who managed to wrongly count to 5 the number of players he was trying to put an entry in with. (I suppose sheep don't have fingers, so it was probably unfair).

Fighting talk, Mr Shaggy :lol: :lol:

Didn't someone do a FISO World Championship last year ? I don't mind doing it this year if I know who's who. Depending on numbers it may have to be the first 16 (if we get to 16!). So far it looks as though we have :-

Mr murf has since submitted a valid entry, once I'd pointed out the error of his ways.

Yes, I'm afraid there are only 7 FISO members entered at the moment:
Shaggy365
GM
Dingram041
Bluenoseyparker
Surprised
Jester
Murf

If you're on personal speaking terms with any other members, perhaps you could give them a nudge in my general direction.

I take it you hadn't spotted your own goal equaliser before this post.
