1FF Grandstand

[hodge]

Wednesday would be best for me

 

[markpvfc]

Watching the new Bond film on Wednesday so tomorrow would suit me best.

 

[Magic]

Will set something tomorrow...hopefully be something that can be done over the course of a few nights so everyone can contribute but need to put my thinking cap on.

 

[Magic]

Will try have something up 7/8ish as usual. Really struggling for inspiration today though. Can't think what to do

 

[Magic]

Got something sorted so will explain later on.

So we visit an old forum favourite this week....sheep!

You will play as a team to come up with your set of answers to ten questions. Clearly this could lead to dodgy tactics just between you guys so I have asked a number of other members to send me their answers as well. This means that the game will essentially be the same as a normal round but instead of your username, your teamname will be the entry.

You have until 5pm on Friday to send me your answers and the results will be posted that evening before I go to work.

Clearly the better your team does, the better chance you have of picking up points at the sporting event.

So the ten questions are...


A UN Secretary General
A team that plays in the NHL
Something you don't want to get wet
The best forum game player on 1FF
Someone you wouldn't want to fight
England's top scorer at Euro 2016
The next Premier League manager to be sacked
A foreign university that is not in the USA
A French food dish
A female television presenter

Good luck!

Good performance from three teams to top the whole leaderboard. Kahn slipped down in 4th and Owens did not take part.

The plan this week is the Rugby World Cup final but the problem is I know sod all about rugby so not sure how to play it

 

[Leewilson]

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

 

[Magic]

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

 

[Spirederman]

Very well played Gretzky, Kournikova and Tyson. We just weren't at the races here I'm afraid.

Still, we showed what could be done with fewer picks in the Cricket Week so hopefully we can come up with the goods once again.
