    Cheers, good spot. Can close that one off now as WBA & Fulham have no more games, and Blackburn in 3rd can't catch Fulham.

    Definite swing to premierstone yesterday with WBA's defeat at Derby; then Newcastle getting an unwelcome draw v MUFC which will make it slightly more difficult for them to get 4 points, though still possible.
    And finally in the darts James Wade got a bye through to the last 16, so Aspinall will have to get through to last 8 minimum to outscore Wade.

      Cheers, I definitely try to change about 12-15 of the events each year, though to an extent this happens naturally - e.g., no Ryder Cup, Euro2020 or Lions tour this year, so Presidents Cup and FIFA World Cup can come in for first two. I'd worry about the Women's Rugby World Cup being open enough with NZ being host and having won 5 of the last 6. If the Heineken Cup situation is clearer by Jan it'd be useful to me!
      Will definitely have a Winter Olympic event in if we go again - curling or ice-hockey seem the obvious choice.

      Was planning on dropping Super League Rugby League as waiting 7 months to see St Helens beat Wigan or Catalan has gotten repetitive. The RL World Cup would be a good replacement, shorter and more focussed even if there's only 4 possible winners.
      Will have a look at the Munich events.
      And really want to bring back NFL Superbowl which will be at 8 teams remaining on 22nd January, so that's a likely start date.

        I think the EPL bottom place is wrapped up now as well unless United beat Burnley by 15 goals which lets it all level down to the darts? Does that give AJ an outside shot too?

          I'm definitely back in next year with the aim of not defending my unwanted crown.

            Definitely up for this again - might want to avoid any changes tho. Don’t think I did myself any favours this year or last.

              Aspinall has been eliminated from the darts 0-4 in the last 32. No miracle reprieve this time.
              There are 8 English in the last 16 so far, including Searle, Cross and Wade. Ian White might make it 9 if he beats Gary Anderson in the final L32 tie tonight (spoiler, he won't).
              8 is more than usual, helped by the Dutch having a big covid party on Christmas Day.

              Aspinall's elimination means Keane can no longer win, a tie is the best he can hope for. What clown made him 8/11 fav?
              ArmaniJeans can win if Ryan Searle gets the max 4 and Wade gets nothing.
              RichieM can have a (unsatisfactory) 3-way tie if Cross gets the max 4 and Wade gets nothing.
              premierstone wins if Wade gets 1.5 points, but even a fraction of a point would be enough if Searle and Cross don't get the 4.

              So lets play darts.
              Last 16 ties all tomorrow - Wade v Martin Kleermarker. Ryan Searle v Peter Wright. Rob Cross v Gary Anderson/Ian White.

                You'd be on 48 with orig picks Clan Des Obeaux and Serbia tennis.
                I'd be on 48 with orig Clan Des Obeaux. (Though in truth I was feeling gleefully smug when my swap Chantry House went fav at the start line, so shed no tears for me)

                  If I am better at picking them 10 months rather than 10 days out it’s really a poor sign.

                    With Smith and king both in last 8.... Cross and steale can't get the max 4.

                    Congrats Premierstone. Well played.
                    No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

                      Just realised... Wade need to win his match in order to break the tie with Keane

                        Either can still get 4 - I definitely flagged it a few weeks ago that this darts event could continue into the first few days of Jan. Though I honestly didn't expect it to, its usually down to Dutch, Welsh and Scots by now.

                        edit : 10th December so had no idea at the time who the potential overrun would be useful to.

                        Just to clarify the rules of the darts - it's a last longest on just the 30ish English players in the World Championship.
                        4-2-1 points for 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
                        If players get knocked out in the same round then they are considered to have tied - I ignore averages, margin of defeat, who played first etc.
                        This event could go into the first few days of January, though recent history suggests not.
                        I'm just praying they don't postpone the last 8 until April or something, will close account and run away if that happens.

                          Ah, thought it was last man standing as at 31 Dec.

                            One to go, the World Darts Championship Best English player which continues until possibly the 3rd of January in this inaccurately named 2021 Multisport Competition.
                            Rob Cross and Ryan Searle eliminated this evening.

                            Quarter Final line up (English players bolded)
                            Gerwyn Price v Michael Smith
                            James Wade v Mervyn King
                            Peter Wright v Callum Rydz
                            Luke Humphries v Gary Anderson

                            premierstone just needs a share of 3rd place to get the half-point to break the tie with Keane.
                            If Wade wins then premierstone is definitely safe.
                            He also has a backup even if Wade loses - he'd need just two of Price, Wright and Anderson to beat their English opponents.
                            So looks to me that it definitely ends for money purposes with Saturdays quarter-finals.

                                  Wade beats up King 5-0 so the worst he can get now is a half-point (his worst case is 4 English in semi-finals, & he loses. But he'd still get a half-point for joint 3rd place. So job done)

                                  So I'm going to declare it as First Place premierstone €400 and Second Place Keane €120.
                                  I've a family day today so will contact you both tomorrow afternoon for bank details (I still don't have Revolut !) and will transfer during the week when I'm in town (probably Thursday).

                                  If anyone has spotted a mistake (especially one which gets you in the money) then let me know in by Monday at the latest as I won't rectify beyond that. I'm pretty certain it's accurate though.
                                  I'll give a final table when the darts is over as luckforsome could leap up to 4th place yet.

                                  Seems to be enough interest in 2022 (8 people thanked the post, plus me obv) so I'll aim to get the list of events by 10th January with a planned start date of 22nd Jan (Superbowl quarter-final day).

                                  Cheers.

                                              My decision to change from Smith to Cullen in the darts was an epically bad one. Could really have consolidated third last if i stayed put.

                                                  Transferred €120 to Keane & €400 to premierstone today.
                                                  The €120 should be pretty quick as we are both same bank, the €400 be likely Tuesday at the latest to go through.

                                                    Anything obvious which I've missed, or anything which is in which shouldn't be? Think of it as a dealers choice (with a veto!!)
                                                    Particularly for events starting in the first half of year, I can look again at July onwards events later.
                                                    I can't figure a way to get hurling in with Limerick 8/13fav. Without Limerick maybe.
                                                    F1 still seems uncompetitive.
                                                    Heineken Cup is a mess.
                                                    2022 in sports - Wikipedia

                                                    My plan is to finalize on Wednesday 12th, deadline Saturday 22nd when NFL quarter-finals kick off. Think 10 days is enough time for ~25 events.

                                                      Leinster Hurling Championship is probably the only realistic one and is relatively open - not aure how that fits with timing etc.

                                                      Or maybe for a more leftfield one, the top scorer from play in the Championship?

                                                        Can't believe there is still no WWE.
