1FF Grandstand

[Cardsfan]

So forgive me this week because I don't really know what scenarios to come up with but...like the cricket round, you can pick a number of scenarios which each earn points.

New Zealand win = 3 points
Australia win = 5 points
Draw = 20 points

New Zealand win by 0-10 points = 5 points
New Zealand win by 11-20 points = 6 points
New Zealand to win by 21+ points = 13 points
Australia to win by 0-10 points = 7 points
Australia to win by 11-20 points = 12 points
Australia to win by 21+ points = 20 points

1-2 tries in total = 5 points
3-4 tries in total = 4 points
5-6 tries in total = 6 points
7 or more tries in total = 8 points

To score a try in the match:

Julian Savea = 5 points
Nehe Milner-Skudder = 6 points
Adam Ashley-Cooper = 7 points
Ben Smith = 7 points
Drew Mitchell = 7 points
Israel Folau = 8 points
Kurtley Beale = 8 points
Maa Nonu = 8 points
Aaron Smith = 9 points
Sonny Bill Williams = 9 points

To score two tries in the match:

You can treble the points for those players.

Any player to score a hat-trick = 30 points

If you wish to pick any unlisted players then ask me and I'll give you the points for that player.

Amount of scenarios that teams can choose

Gretzky = 6
Kournikova = 5
Tyson = 4
Kahn = 3

Like I say, was harder for me to judge this compared to cricket as I'm clueless so I hope this is acceptable

They look fine Magic (not that I'd say if they weren't ). Good to have variety.

 

[Spirederman]

I agree with Cards, they look fine Magicka!! Not a lot more you can do when choosing scenarios.... They're always gonna be pretty generic mate so

Ciderhead knows

Being serious, it isn't me... BUT....

Posh Hammer??? WTF?

The guy only plays sheep ffs!!

My logic was that it was a game of sheep so PH is the obvious answer

My logic was that it was a game of sheep so PH is the obvious answer

This was our thinking

 

[Magic]

Gretzky

Australia to win by 0-10 points = 7 points
NZ to win = 3 points
New Zealand to win by 0-10 points = 5 points
New Zealand win by 11-20 points = 6 points
3-4 tries in the match = 4 points
Foley to score a try = 12 points

Kournikova

NZ to win = 3 points
NZ to win by 1-10 = 5 points
3-4 tries = 4 points
Julian Savea = 5 points
Adam Ashley-Cooper = 7 points

Tyson

New Zealand win by 11-20 points = 6 points
7 or more tries in total = 8 points
Julian Savea = 5 points
Any player to score a hat-trick = 30 points

Kahn

Aus by 0-10 = 7 points
Aus win = 5 points
Nonu to score = 8 points

Good luck!

 

[Leewilson]

Pretty much need a hat-trick to win it then. Come on Tries!!!!!!!!

 

[MagpieBee]

Not. Going. Well.

 

[Magic]

Nonu strikes! The only scenario that had any chance of saving Kahn looking at the score! Could be very handy!

 

[Leewilson]

Gretzky - 9
Kahn - 8
Tyson - 6
Kournikova - 3

I was sitting there wishing for a Savea try which would have won it for us. Ahhh well, not to be.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Fucked over by that last minute try.

 

[last request]

 

[MagpieBee]

Will take that after coming 4th in the qualifiers! Perhaps wrong to gamble on Australia, my fault on that one as it was my suggestion.

 

[Spirederman]

EVERYONE SHOULD FEAR THE ABILITY OF KAHN TO MAKE THE BEST OF A BAD SITUATION. WE WILL NOT SETTLE FOR 2ND PLACE.
WE WILL NOT SETTLE FOR MEDIOCRITY, WE WILL NOT SUFFER FOOLS. WE ARE KAHN AND THROUGH CHANNELING THE POWER OF OUR OUR DEUTSCHLAND FOREFATHERS, THE FURHER AND THE REICH,
WE WILL POOL THE RESOURCES AND EMERGE VICTORIOUS.
FEEL THE WRATH OF KAHN. FEEL THE WRATH OF OLIVER!!

 

[Spirederman]

Well I got there in the end!!

 

[Magic]

They just can't decide who wants top spot! Again the lead alternates back in favour of Gretzky!

TEAM GRETZKY 20
TEAM KAHN 19
TEAM KOURNIKOVA 9
TEAM OWENS 4
TEAM TYSON 2

 

[Leewilson]

How many more weeks is there Magic?

2. Clearly you're in a somewhat unfortunate position but obviously more than welcome to keep playing.

Yeah we will, well I will anyway. I don't want to finish bottom.

 

[Cardsfan]

Yeah we will, well I will anyway. I don't want to finish bottom to a team that hasn't been playing for weeks.

 

[Leewilson]

For a week, I'm pretty sure Oaf has been entering for them.

 

[Techno Natch]

Well that's a shame, last two weeks have put us out of the race.

 

[Posh Hammer]

Good to see the 'best forum game player' Posh Hammer finish 5th bottom..........

We were told to try not to copy the answers that others had put! It was all in a group chat, so I tried to give different answers to make your game more open.

That's my excuse anyway.

 

[Posh Hammer]

Don't hate the player….

 

[Posh Hammer]

And hasn't he been fucking useless on it in recent games?

It hurts because it's true.

 

[Oaf]

For a week, I'm pretty sure Oaf has been entering for them.

I have been trying, but I'm just not getting the chance to come on here for this as of late. I've missed the last few games and our team missed out entirely without so much as a comment in the PM... the only thing I've been around for was for picking the team for the fantasy football thing, where we at least Paul Haddock and Murphy showed up to discus it and we had a go at it, even if we did get instantly undone by placing all our bets on a spurs clean sheet only for them to get instantly undone by a Bournemouth goal.

Unfortunately it does look as if most of the OWENSESES have given up, whether just because they can't be arsed or because they're not interested as we've been out of the running for most of the game. But I'm still going to at least try to take part in this, if for nothing else because it'd be a bit of a shit on Magic to sign up for his game and then just not show up.

 

[Magic]

Won't be anything until at least tomorrow as out tonight plus football etc.

 

[Magic]

Because I'm lacking in inspiration, we will be revisiting an old round with a topical theme this evening. No time limit but again, if there are any ties (which I'd suggest there could be) then the fastest team will come out on top.

Another concern is I can't see any obvious events coming up that haven't been done already but we'll see.

 

[Magic]

At half eight I will post twelve images of places. These are all towns and cities of clubs playing in the CL tonight. However, London is excluded and also two others are missing so consider a couple red herrings.

Teams will again be ranked based on correct answers and then time if there's a tie. Good luck.

 

[Spirederman]

Indeed young David. Please clarify your Majesty??

 

[Magic]

Full list.
