Tipsters Competition - Results so far

Post by Lone Shark »

Howdy folks,

I'm not quite as on the ball with this as I'd have liked to be, but finally I've got around to putting together results after the first two rounds. Hocker is way out in front after calling the draw between Clareen and Tullamore in the first round, while True Red also scored well having called the K/K vs Shamrocks draw and he lies hot on the heels in second place. Anyone on nine or more can be very happy with an above average start, while there will be a lot of points to be played for this year so I wouldn't worry if people are behind or even haven't started off yet.

My apologies to Juteman, I wasn't doubting his veracity when he went for the full list in round one, however a bookie can't be seen to be taking late bets I'm afraid!

I will do something to balance out the points for football and hurling, probably something along the lines of doubling the points for all football matches while simply doubling the knockout games in hurling, but I'm open to suggestions on that.

Here's the table anyhoo.

16 Hocker
14 True Red
12 Bazza
11 Biffo Army, DD
10 Beirut, GreatDayForTheParish

7 Backofthenet, Plain of the Herbs, Mighty Pair O’Hands, Aweflee, Red Exile, Phoenix, Joe Bloggs, Swiftpost, Uibhfhailiabu, Kemo Sabe, Dual Star
6 Offaly09, offalyman
5 Muck Savage, Rossier, Bula Bula, Naasmanrxrhode, Corner Back
4 minor, Rynaghs Biffo, faithfulman, D Corner Flag

Cheers Shark, good work. However, do I see two Offaly09's, at six and two points? I demand a recount!

Feck - I occasionally do that. The way I do it is to have the table, count each score and move people up one by one - I obviously missed his and on checking, it appears that he/she should be on 8 - I would have presumed that they missed the first week when adding the second.

Mistakes are highly possible here by the way, so don't be shy if anything looks dodge! :D
