    Everyone's original selections as at 6/1/18.

    SPOILER

    Last edited by ArmaniJeans; 21-02-18, 15:48. Reason: To include selections

    #2
    Rules and stuff.
    All initial selection to be made by 9pm on Saturday 6th January.
    PM your selections to me
    1. PSG
    2. Brazil
    3 Lionel Messi
    etc
    Please be clear on names and give first name & surname to avoid confusion or arguments.

    Changes throughout year.
    3 changes can be made to events, up to 7 days before the start date of that event.
    Changes must be made by 23:59 7 days before, I'll update exact deadlines for changes as we go along.
    Changes must be made on this thread, no editing or deleting changes once posted.
    Post a simple 'Change Golden Boot from Harry Kane to Thomas Muller' to do a change.
    Obviously events which are marked STARTED no changes will be allowed.

    Official results on the End Date of each event will count, subsequent disqualifications don't count.
    Where an event has playoffs or a final following a league phase (e.g. Munster Hurling, Aussie Rules) then the results of the final are what matters.
    (Darts event is the exception to this rule as League Phase Only is specified).

    If any events end in a tie for first or for places then relevant points will be split.

    Any disagreements on events winners or points I'll ask 3 non-involved members of IPB to decide.

    Entry Fee & Prize money.
    Entry €40. I'll come back with payment details in next few days.

    If 7 or less entries, winner takes all.
    8+ entries then 80% for 1st and 20% for second.
    An unlikely 14+ entries then I'll make it 3 places.

      Note 1 Athletics.
      Official result from IAAF website on 31/12/18 counts. Athletes may have had times stricken from official record due to failed drug tests. Tough.
      If Carl Lewis has the 10 fastest times of the year and Michael Johnson the 11th fastest then MJ will be considered 2nd fastest and get one point.

      Note 2 Darts.
      Please look at scoring system for this event, the idea here is to get second, not first.
      List of players should be released on Monday after the Worlds final.

      Note 3. Poker WSOPME
      Its almost umpossible that anyone will pick the winner. However if I pick say Phil Ivey and he finishes 211th but is the best of our selections then I get the 2 points.
      In other words there will definitely be a first and second in this event.

        Internet ruins these things. No skill or knowledge when someone can just oddschecker all the favs.

        Would be great if in a exam room with no access and people had to do it solely on their own views.

        And for that reason I'm out. I'll stop shitting on your thread now
        Profit before people.

            Lol 40 different events, 20+ different sports, and someone blaming oddschecker. Just sad.

            I'll bump the thread in the hope that some of you chumps decide to try and take my money and in turn make my prize bigger.

            In.

                        Yeah, PM is good.
                        I'll post mine up here tonight so I won't be tempted to copy anyone's work, only have stupid UFC left to look at.
                        Will organise bank details tonight, Stars will be good also.
                        And will spam a few likely people to try to get a few more entries in.

                                Cheers all, received selections from mdoug as well so we are 4 at the moment.

                                I'll send mine to FD tomorrow (I didn't have the energy to look at bloody UFC today).

                                Any changes are fine and unlimited up to this Saturday 9pm by the way, so don't worry if a selection breaks a leg or suchlike.

                                  I might yet change a few if bad things happen to my selections over the next few days, and will send on any changes if I do.

                                    Received.

                                    Just for anyone else thinking of playing; Myself and AJ only share 15/40 of picks, so it's far from a case of picking the favourites for each event, so let's hope we get a few more entries in before the off!

                                      Just had a quick comparison look at LaoLao and mdougs entries, between the four of us there seems to be only 4/40 unanimous selections so almost all events are going to be alive from the start.

                                          Saturday 9pm, you can do it.

                                          ***********
                                          5 entries so far with Strewelpeter selections received.

                                          Hopefully a couple more stragglers to come, 8 in total would be good.

                                                        A player I'm assuming, from either team.

                                                                If you are stuck, just look up top 2017 tryscorers and for ryder cup just choose a top ranked american or european. Bit of a lottery, but the better players will play more matches generally.

                                                                                                                        IceHockey.
                                                                                                                        The 82 game regular season ends this week followed by the playoffs.
                                                                                                                        Popular selections Toronto and Tampa Bay are safely in the playoffs. LA Kings likely to join them albeit as a low seed. I'm the only one dead with NY Rangers eliminated.

                                                                                                                        Basketball

Golden State (everyone except Lao Lao) and Cleveland (Lao Lao) already qualified for the playoff stage. Golden State not played like an odds-on fav though and Houston challenging them for #1 Seed.

                                                                                                                        Darts
                                                                                                                        Just over halfway through the league , and popular selections Rob Cross and Gary Anderson are poised to battle for the points-winning second/third spots when Michael Smith inevitably fades away. Peter Wright (me again, and 5star) looks tailed off.

                                                                                                                        Athletics.
                                                                                                                        Won't really get going until the summer events like the Diamond League meetings. Current leaderboard is irrelevant as no-one has even broken 10s yet but here is where I'll be getting it from.

                                                                                                                        UFC.
                                                                                                                        Quite an unsuccessful event so far, with Robert Whittaker not having defended his title. He has withdrawn from the Commonwealth Games though to concentrate on the MMA so we can expect some action here in early summer.

St HellsBells lead the way but our other selections Wigan, Leeds and in particular Castleford are all close up in the chase.
