[murf]

If my basic adding up skills haven't deteriorated with age that makes 31 enties. So....

JUST ONE SPACE LEFT IN THE COMPETITION

First come, first served.

[murf]

Anyone fancy that last spot so I can do the draw before heading out for the day???

EDIT I've gone out now so there will not be a draw unless someone else volunteers to dust down their velvet bag before k.o.
If not then simply the best 16 scores get through out of 31 or 32 entrants (still limited to 32 entrants so only 1 space left)

[Arabian Knight]

Scotland 6
England 12

Do I win?

Do I win?

No but you probably lead (or near enough!) and should be safely through with the final 2 middle of the road picks.

England 12
Wales 18

Do I win?

I had Scotland to win by 5 A.K

[Arabian Knight]

Missed that !

Top 16 to get through
(haven't done any sorting for tie-breaks yet so the order for equal scores, including the cut off at 68, is arbitrary)
The first 3 columns are your predictions (3rd is the important margin of Wales victory), then the scores so far with the total at the end.
As you can see the top 2 predicted Scotland to win (negative values in first number column) and you'll have to scroll down quite a bit to find the 3rd Scotland predictor - Black caviar being a tad ambitious when lumping on England to win by 44 but being the only Italy backer the game isn't over yet.

[murf]

Italy winning. Good news for Black caviar and those that backed a narrow Wales win.

[murf]

Think that big 26pt Wales win could have screwed me. Would have been worse if that last minute goal hadn't been disallowed for the player failing to handball it after it went out of play behind the goal line (what silly rules Egg Chasing has).

I miss out by a point - Rookster and topspur even unluckier as they lose marginally on the tie-break, getting 2 and 3 pts respectively from the England game less than the man getting through. I give you the jammy Richt:

[blahblah]

Sounds more like a Jammy Dodger?

So I need to generate more random numbers

[murf]

Nothing to do with the comp (although I bet he used to play 'Rugger') but whilst googling for that last image I found this one....



Round 2 draw (last 16 knockout) later.

[blahblah]

There is something so wrong about that pic, especially the Ford jacket, so a wannabe US Egg Chaser?

(Could be a good Final there tonight, btw.)

[morganb]

I put all my random number picking efforts into the ACON comp (as evidently did murf and Geoffv too) so was too mentally exhausted to put up a good show in this one

[murf]

Ah, good excuse, cheers. Seems we all put out the reserves whilst our number 1 selections went on the ACON.
