Dammit Gretzky

 

[Magic]

4.30 is the tee off time I believe (our time).

When do Owens and Gretzky realistically think they can be done by?

If it's not gonna happen tonight then I guess the best way is to post up the pools of golfers and teams to give me a few from each in PM (in order of preference) and then I can essentially do the drawing of players myself.

Paul Haddock completing the final puzzle for Owens now.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Do the rest of us get to find out our scores/picks when he's finished?

 

[Rammy]

Just set an ultimate deadline that everything has to be completed by. Their own fault if they don't meet it.

Magic are we going to be picking one at a time or will it literally just be lists of players?

 

[Magic]

Your six golfers will score as follows:

Whatever their under/over score is at completion of the tournament.
-10 for winning the competition
-6 for finishing second
-3 for finishing third

(ties award points to all players involved)

Obviously your cumulative total needs to be as low as possible.

Players who do not make the cut will receive + 6 points.

The top three teams will receive points as was the case last week.

It's one at a time but obviously if people want to submit a list to me I can do it for them (choosing the highest available preference).

 

[Veggie Legs]

What order are we picking in? (Sorry for asking so many questions.)

 

[hodge]

When will picking start? Guesstimate

 

[Magic]

Well Dave is finishing the puzzles now so we can be good to go soon. I will total up team's scores and then we'll have a better idea.

The order of picks is the order of total points from only connect.

 

[Spirederman]

DAAAAAAAVVVEEEE.

You done yet son??

The suspense is fucking killing me.

 

[hodge]

didn't he only have 2 to do? Definitely been more than 14 minutes.....

 

[Magic]

Nah he's done. I'm just posting the answers and scores now.

 

[Spirederman]

Expecting big things from our last 3 walls here.....

 

[Veggie Legs]

We're gonna win. I told you that earlier.

 

[Spirederman]

We're gonna win. I told you that earlier.

We 'think' we maxed the last 3 and wall 2.

*crosses fingers*

 

[hodge]

We 'think' we maxed the last 3 and wall 2.

*crosses fingers*

We maxed 5/6

 

[Spirederman]

We maxed 5/6

You're on Veggie's team, so it wouldn't be a surprise tbh.

 

[hodge]

He was useless

 

[Rammy]

[Spirederman]

Hahaha.

3 - Battleship, Iron, Boot, Dog/Hat (Monopoly items)
4 - Gear, Up, Gun, Dog/Hat (Top ____)

Grid 5:

3 - Chess, Floor, Back, Side (Boards)
4 - Toto, Snowy, Fang, Timmy (Fictional dogs)

Scores

Kournikova: 4 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 44 (1 pick from Pool B or below. 5 picks from anywhere)
Gretzky: 6 + 3 + 3 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 36 (2 picks from Pool C or below. 4 picks from anywhere)
Kahn: 1 + 8 + 3 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 36 (1 pick from Pool D, 1 pick from Pool C or below, 4 picks from anywhere)
Owens: 0 + 7 + 3 + 6 + 8 + 4 = 28 (1 pick from Pool D, 1 pick from Pool C or below, 1 pick from Pool B or below, 3 picks from anywhere)
Tyson: 1 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 8 + 4 = 24 (1 pick from Pool D, 2 picks from Pool C or below, 1 pick from Pool B or below, 2 picks from anywhere)

Gretzky and Kahn face a virtual coin toss. Gretzky picks heads due to alphabetical order and it is...HEADS!

The order of picks will therefore be as follows...

1. Kournikova
2. Gretzky
3. Kahn
4. Owens
5. Tyson

We have until 4pm to sort all of this out.

Thanks for playing. I need my tea.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Great job Magic!

 

[Magic]

Oh and you don't have to submit lists now unless you wish to. We can let it take course naturally now there's no rush. Everything can be done in thread pick by pick.

Did get easier as we went along admittedly but oh well...

 

[Rammy]

 

[Spirederman]

As suspected aced 2,4,5,6.

Less said about the others the better.

Oh and fuck you Gretzky c***.

 

[Leewilson]

There was me thinking we'd done pretty well.
