2022 Multi Sport Competition

[RichieM]

sorry sent them on there now.

Will go back and double check I have actual live picks later

[ArmaniJeans]

Deadly, much appreciated all, makes my part a doddle.
Should be able to get the selections up shortly after 8.
Feel free to chnage in the meantime though if something inspires you.

Hmmmmm.
Desert Crown (who has 6 or 7 picks) looks likely to be a scratch, just so ye know. Talking Horses: Derby winner Desert Crown set to be ruled out for season | Horse racing tips | The Guardian
Ultimately non-runners are part of the game (Asleigh Barty etc), but I never really thought about it about it happening exactly on deadline day.
To be fair, for this event will give until Tuesday for free change.

Ah AJ you're making it too easy for them. Should have kept that to yourself imo.

Meh, you're prob right. And I'm actually doing myself a disservice in the game as I'm already on a different horse in Alphanista.
But it seemed a bit unfair that I ask people to get their entries in early, they do, and then this news breaks. So wasn't sure what the best thing to do was. (I'm winging it most of the time anyway)

Feck Michael Stoute anyway for not keeping it quiet for a few more days.

No worries. You do a great job running it. I was first in with a change for Desert Crown before the Derby after seeing the way he won at York. The reasons I deserted him for the Arc were two fold he drifted from 2/1 to 5/1 since the Derby and he didn't run in the King George. Two big red flags. Anyway the cats out of the bag now . Good luck to the sleepy heads that don't have to waste a change

[shrapnel]

cheers AJ, i'll change mine to
Torquator Tasso

And Go, Go, Go (or as much as you can 'go go go' with a safety car in play and a mad Irish priest climbing over the fence).

As usual, please check your selections that I've not made a mistake, easier/fairer to fix now than later.

1. Nothing from SP yet in Athletics or the Rugby Top England Try scorer yoke, so I've hidden the selections. Everyone else can send me in a change to either of these 2 events in the meantime if they wish.
2. Nothing from SP yet in the Arc. So again it's open to anyone to change. I've tried to be as fair as possible in the Arc coz of happenings!
3. 10pm Tuesday seems a reasonable cut-off point for SP, and also for any slackers to see the Arc news. Solks/mdoug/shrap, have received your changes.

.
Random stuff.
1. Lao Lao nailed it with Ismaila Sarr = mdoug. Clearly a case of a maverick long-shot picker recognising a kindred spirit.
2. All events have different selections to some extent, which is great.
3. To think I was worried everyone would pick Salah, when most picked Haaland. He'll fail.
4. Surprised so many picked Michel Smith when I thought this event would be wide-open .
5. Will Novax be allowed into America?
6. I'll update leaderboard with links to events etc next week.

Cheers, got there in the end.
I found it really difficult to keep track of where I was the last few days and the PM system makes it very hard to actually find anything after it's been read.
So again please double check that I've got you correct.
I hope I came up with a fair solution to the Desert Crown deadline day situation combined with SP being a little late, but what's done is done now.
Any changes from now on will be using a change chip. Max 4 so mdoug is all-in on his selections.

Athletics will be next up, running from 15th to 21st August.
Worked out as well as I could have hoped with a decent split of selections between 3 countries.
Just to clarify it's standard medal table, so most golds wins, with silvers then bronzes only looked at in the event of ties for golds.

And I'll take the medal table as it is on 21st of August at the close of the event, ignoring any drug-test fails that come to light after that (usually Polish shot-putters and UK sprinters)
