Subedei Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) And your final total young Turner? You had Hancock, so you've got to have scored big. I'm very happy with 4th place. Can't actually believe it. Edit: Assuming we start with 100 next April, my picks are: 50 - Tomasz Gollob 50 - Jason Crump Edited September 10, 2005 by Subedei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shale Eater Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 5th is good enough for me. Congrats to Woody-the-bee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Yes, of course. Where are my manners? Congratulations to Woody-the-bee, drakey and smiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Turner Posted September 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Cheers Cowboy... The big winner's in this GP are pretty obvious really... woody-the-champ scored 25,000... drakey got 23,400... smiles gained 14,055... Subedei added 9,430... and Shale Eater scored 6,800 The biggest loser's in this final round, were Ruby Tuesday 2,150... pirate paul 1,620... jimmy smith 1,600... Silver Cheetah 1,460... and f-s-p 1,100 It was the first and only GP of the year where the four 'favourite' riders all made the Final. But obviously many of you took a bigger gamble to try and gain loads of points...for some it worked, anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Turner Posted September 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 And your final total young Turner ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I had Greg and Leigh...ending up with 74,058. But it wasn't about me was it. Well done to everyone who enjoyed the game Fair play if someone comes up with a different game idea for next year, but if not, I'd be happy to stage another battle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) Yeah, I had Greg and Leigh...ending up with 74,058. But it wasn't about me was it. No, it wasn't, but still good to know what you scored. And congratulations to you. But next season you must join in with the rest of us. Thanks for the effort you put into this year's competition.

London Witch Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'm happy with finishing 9th, a good family affair with James in 10th and WvsH 11th. Well done to Woody, Drakey and Smiles. Thanks for running the competition Steve, I did enjoy it really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiles Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Thanks Steve for a fun comp, well done to woody and drakey on finishing 1st and 2nd (if only i had not missed entering 1 round i could have won) Could i be ranked world number 3 in next years comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakey Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Well Done Woody. Snatched it from me in the last round. Excellent call getting Hancock. It seemed strange for me shouting for Hancock not to make the final (as usually I like Hancock (who doesn't)). And thanks Steve for running it. Gutted I am after leading for so long. But I didn't lose it. Woody won it ! (and I can live with the number 2 on my back next season ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Turner Posted September 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Yeah, it'll add a bit of pressure putting a world ranking in the game Drakey, you only really had one bad GP...excellent season, despite that. Woody was the only player to improve his score in every single GP...London Witch was closest to matching that feat, with only the first GP seeing her drop points. Three of the Top 10 (smiles, Subedei and James) picked all-time favourite Rickardsson just once...German Speedway Fan, in 18th, never picked him at all ! I don't really know why, but I found two players whose betting stood out to me... don't ask ...it was just the way they tried to play the game. So thankyou Jimmy Smith and PsychoGirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jill Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 =18th ~ jill ~ 1530 pts how did i manage that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 You lose points for not having bet in the final round. And you'd have been on Crump, so you should've been even higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jill Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 i thaught i only had 750 points going into the last round ( must have had more than i thaught ) ... as my internet broke on friday i couldnt get online to bet on yesterdays GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 (edited) Congrats to Woody, Drakey and Smiles As I finished this year's GP at number 8 does that mean that I automatically qualify for SGP 2006 Edited September 13, 2005 by Timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panthersfan Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Cheat! I didn't run out of credits dammit! I have 1 left! I had 42 going into the final round, I put 40 on one of the track reserves (terenzani i think) and 1 point on the other... They scored me no points thus leaving me with 1 point, and my rightful finishing position of 55th and LAST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
