    Yes, exactly that. It gives a certain level of flexibility but not too much. The core idea is to be picking winners of events NOW which may not actually be taking place for a good few months.
    Though to an extent 4 changes is quite a lot - as for about 1/3 of the events (CL, Euros, GAA, baseball, cricket) there's no particular reason why you should need to change.
    You'll do well do it in 15 minutes by the way, I estimate 30 minutes.

    I'll probably enter anyway just trying to figure out should I spend 5 minutes or 15 minutes on it

    I've completed mine as well.

    3 and a half days to go (Saturday 2.15 Irish time).
    Unlimited changes allowed until then so no need to leave it for last minute info.

    Only 2 of 28 events have unanimous choices which is pretty good from just 4 entries..
    I'll soon rectify that...

    Hadn’t seen this go up will take a look tomorrow. Might be good to throw a message into the bbv and bump it occasionally to make sure everyone see it.

    I agree on the football being done at this time of year, it’s one of the best events because of it imo as odds checker won’t help you out

    Great. Struggling myself - 28 selections is tough enough now, not sure how I handled doing 40 at once last year.

    Good question, and I definitely hmmm'ed and haw'ed about it for a while.
    But I decided to leave it this way as it adds an interesting dynamic.

    You've basically 3 choices
    a) a safe team who'll definitely be in the league next year, but would need a downturn to be involved in relegation (the likes of Wolves, Southampton, West Ham)
    b) a team currently in trouble but you hope they survive (Brighton, Burnley, WBA, Fulham types)
    c) a team you hope will get promotion and then be weak.

    Interestingly in the last renewal Sheffield United won as an A pick, and WBA were second as a C pick. Burnley a B pick got a good run but came fourth.
    So I'm still not sure which is the best strategy. At least we can use a change if our strategy goes wrong.

    Ultimately there's only about 18 teams you are picking from so it's not an impossible task.
    I also think if we picked in July there wouldn't be a decent spread of selections, it'd just be maybe 2 or 3 teams.
    I like having some events with a wide spread of picks (although the Helens or Wigan coin tosses are useful as well)

    Hope that explains the thought process anyway.

    All initial selection to be made by 2.15pm on Saturday 6th February (the time the 6 Nations starts). A bit earlier would be great so I can post the selections before the start.
    2 weeks should be ample time hopefully. You can continue to make unlimited changes until the start date, so there's no downside to getting an entry in early.

    Send them in any format, spreadsheet, text – I'll work it out.
    1. Barcelona
    2. Arsenal
    3 France etc
    Please be clear on names and if possible give first name & surname to avoid confusion.


    You can send me selections by any of the following methods.
    A private message here on IPB.
    A private message me on boards.ie, username there is armaniJeanss.
    Or email me your selections to multisportcomp@gmail.com

    I'll add more events during the first week in July to get to around 42 events though a lot is dependent on if we lose the Olympics/Euros/others to covid. But my aim will be ~42.
    Watch out for......
    Event 4 is the EPL Last Place at the end of the year, not the season. So needs a bit of thought.

    Changes throughout year.
    Four changes can be made to events, up to 5 days before the start date of that event.
    Changes must be made by 21:59 5 days beforehand, 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 something like 'Change Derby from El Gran Senor to Secreto' 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. Aussie Rules) then the results of the final are what matters.
    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 pm my bank account to participants.

    If 7 or less entries, winner takes all.
    8+ entries then 75-80% for 1st and 20-25% for second.
    An unlikely15+ entries then I'll make it 3 places.

    If any event has a unanimous choice (e.g., everyone picks Cork to win Munster) then I'll try to replace the event with something later on.
    Hopefully Lao Lao will go on his patented solo-runs with esoteric selections to avoid this.

    started a topic 2021 Multi Sport Competition

    2021 Multi Sport Competition

    Tables are a bit of mess on 'new' IPB unfortunately, so going to do as much of the competition as possible via google spreadsheets.
    So the attached document is the initial list of events for this years competition. (Some more events will be added in July as this format seemed to work well last year).

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing


    The only tables I will post will be the leaderboard after each completed event so that there's a trail of how the competition progressed.
    Hopefully this will make the thread less intensive on peoples phones/tablets.

    EDIT 12/02/21.
