Colin H Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Wow......Jann storms it again 1st place with 9 points (Radioshack in 2nd and Garmin in top 3) Joint 2nd Me, Ramsay and Duncan with 4 points (could have been joint 1st Duncan ) Too many to mention in 3rd with 2 points As Ramsay has focused my attention to the late entries I have reffered back to my original posts and have deducted 5 points from the overall scores of those who submitted entries after the deadline So all that leaves our table looking like this: 1st Jann 31 points 2nd Richie 24 points 3rd Me 21 points Joint 4th Billy and David 20 points 5th Duncan 13 points 6th Paul M 12 points 7th Chung 11 points 8th Paul C 7 points Joint 9th Kenny S (no entry ), Greig (no entry ) and Ramsay 6 points Joint 10th Alan , Tom and Martin (no entry ) 0 points Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted March 8, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I was "grassed up" last year and have already been docked points this year, so........ Although, now I think about it, I'm sure I will be begging for leniency some time later in the season. Duncan - I think admitting your guilt in cycling gets you a two year ban! Especially if you had powder in the Alps, when I had slush in the Dolomites! Paul - I'll buy you a coffee next time I'm out (think I owe you one anyway!).

Colin H Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Pretty obviously those who picked Wiggins today are our join TT winners As for our Paris nice champion honours are shared between Paul M and Greig with 24 points. 2nd for me and Tom 22 points 3rd for Richie 6 points So unless anybody tells me different this time Billy storms into the lead: 1st Billy 50 points 2nd Me 44 points Joint 3rd Richie and Greig 40 points 4th Paul M 38 points 5th Jann 37 points 6th Ramsay 36 points 7th Tom 32 points 8th David 29 points Joint 9th Duncan and Chung 15 points 10th Paul C 13 points 11th Kenny S 6 points Joint 12th Alan and Martin 0 points Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted March 11, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Colin Genuine curiosity - do you have a spreadsheet with embedded "if" statements and VLOOKUP tables, pivot tables etc? Or do you do a longhand scoring? Either way - great job and great fun (except when you're docked 5 pts even when you have a genuine signed letter from your mum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin H Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Remember folks, Milan San Remo this coming Saturday Predictions required for top 3. Also this is the first of the classics that you can play your joker card on for the possibility of triple points . You can only use it once though so be careful Paul, gave up on the spreadsheet and have reverted to using the supercomputer that I have been developing over the last 36 years Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin H Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 For those whose memory is failing them due to age or those who just can't be a***d looking back through the previous postings: Additional Scoring Oppertunity - Each entrant will have 2 joker cards. One will apply to classic races and one to Grand Tours (Italy, France and Spain). These will be worth TRIPLE points, must be notified with original predictions and will work as follows: Classics - Choose which top 3 you have selected has the most chance of success and play joker. Any points scored will be x3. Be careful though as you only have 1 card so can only choose 1 race to play it Grand Tours - Same as above but applies to one category within a race only (ie Overall, Climbers or Sprinters). So if you think you have chosen the top 3 sprinters in the TDF then play your joker for points x3 Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin H Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Soooooo many people with Cancellara for the win today Is easier to say who lost out - Billy, Greig (no entry), Ramsay, Paul C and Alan all missed out on the sure bet Overall Tirrenno Winner - Tom 22 points (Cav 1 win, Nibali 1st GC, Sagan top 3 points) 2nd place David 21 points 3rd place Jann and Alan 20 points Overall table: Joint 1st Billy and Jann 67 points 2nd Tom 64 points 3rd Paul M 62 points Joint 4th Me and David 60 points 5th Richie 54 points 6th Chung 44 points 7th Ramsay 42 points 8th Greig 40 points (no entries ) 9th Duncan 37 points 10th Alan 22 points (and finally off the mark) 11th Paul C 13 points 12th Kenny S 6 points (have you given up already???????) 13th Martin 0 points (is there anybody out there?!?!?!?!?!?) Ramsay is correct that MSR predictions are required by 23.59 Friday (2 great engineering minds think alike ). Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions David Thomson Posted March 13, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Colin, I believe the points I scored for KOM have not been added to my total. 1st-Stefano Pirazzi (Colnago - CSF Inox) 2nd-Egoi Martinez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) So an extra 17 points. Total 60 points Thanks David P.S That would also make me T-A champion with 31 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
