Tipster competition - Round 3
Posted: Thu May 12, 2005 11:59 am
Hey folks, I must apologise for being a little caught on the hop here - our usual source of fixtures didn't materialise this week, so I'm assuming that the fixtures posted on offaly.gaa.ie are actually correct and going ahead - and so the tipping competition does too.
For the record, here's the lie of the land so far.
14 Fullback, Ballymanabroad
13 Doon Massive
11 flatcap, minor
9 harperj, the rat, sparklin
8 HairyHole, Seán Boyle Ó Rathallaigh, Hyper
7 Bogman, True Red, mykneehurts
6 putupthatscore, Pool Shark
5 Treasurer, Percy Sledgehammer, themanfromFerbane
4 Lone Shark
3 Bord na Mona Man
2 Laois GAA
1 Turfbag, smjovaly
Regarding play, it's very simple - I'll explain again because we have a lot of new registrations. Every senior football and hurling championship match in Offaly is part of the contest. The fixtures are posted, and you get 2pts for picking the winner, or 5 points for correctly tipping a draw. in the instances where one team is clear favourite, I will mark the match as Favourite vs underdog - an (F) beside the team denoting favouritism and (U) denoting underdog. For these games, you get 1 point for correctly tipping the favourite or 3 points for correctly tipping the underdog. My judgement mightn't always be spot on, but I'll do my best anyway.
Anyone is welcome to join in, because there may or may not be prizes but sure tis all for the hell of it anyway. I'm going to also put in two survey questions at the bottom of the fixtures this week, so if everyone could answer them as well that would be great. Thanks.
All games are hurling:
Fri, 7.30 - Birr (F) vs Drumcullen (U)
Sat, 7.30 - Kinnitty vs Seir Kieran
Sat 7.30 - Belmont vs Shamrocks
Sun 2.00 - Lusmagh (F) vs Killavilla (U)
Sun 3.30 - Coolderry (F) vs Shinrone (U)
Sun 6.00 - Ballyskenagh vs Kilcormac/Killoughey
Survey questions
Do you want an email update when extra fixtures are posted in this?
Should we have double scores for the knockout games due to their increased importance and to keep it alive?
