YoungWillz 19,066 Posted June 2, 2018 So we have a new leaderboard. Thanks to Grim Up North obtaining three hits on three consecutive days, he slips into second place and closes gcreptile's lead. Now you'll see where you were last year at this time in the competition, if you entered. Note that there were 24 teams last year as opposed to 30 this year, and not all of last year's entrants are playing this year. As I always say, this game isn't over until it is over, and anyone (yes even me) could win this thing. The more possible hits you have later in the year, the more likely you can gain big points and catch those with fewer available potential hits. So don't write yourself off from this competition ever, and keep checking in. *wonders if there is a key to these changing room doors, peers out of window at the runners* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 19,066 Posted June 15, 2018 We have a new leader folks! DI leaps up the board like Greg Rutherford on a mission with three hits since the last time out. Wormfarmer also gained three hits, and Grigori gets a superboost with his Lady Mary Wilson Joker. Remember though that we are not even halfway. The second half of the year begins on 2 July, which is just after the next leaderboard is due. Still plenty of Wildcards out there waiting for big big points. See you in a fortnight for the tense conclusion to the first half! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 19,066 Posted June 20, 2018 One team thinks by predicting Peter Thomson's death, it's a fairway to get points. Not quite tee to green for a later hit, more a respectable drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 19,066 Posted June 30, 2018 The updated leaderboard is as above and that, playas, brings us to the Hare's Pool halfway point. Death Impends increases his lead with his Wildcard hit for Cappotelli and Wormfarmer slots into a podium spot with his Wildcard hit for Vader. FujimoriNoMorey and Book gain from their uniques. As you will see, I have shown the positions the entrants were in at the comparable date 12 months ago. Now judge for yourself whether you are doing better or worse because you have less hits to date and more potential hits to come, whether your Wildcard has been used and what the chances are of gaining on the field. I'm still locked in the lockers! Have to come out of the closet soon, fnah, fnah. Anyway, that's it for the first 6 months. Phew! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 19,066 Posted July 13, 2018 Kicked off the second half with but a few hits since last we met. gcreptile swaps places with Wormfarmer for a podium spot. Nice Guy Eddie is the big gainer with his Wildcard coming in and John Key finally shakes off his long standing tie with mrwhit and moves up the rankings. Prophet also profits (fnah fnah). Take a deep breath, we are moving into deeper water with possible points. Yes, there's a swimming part to this race!
