Big Bash 2013/14 Tipping Comp

[NUFAN]

As Big Bash Tipping Champion of the world, I figure I better start this years thread so I have an opportunity to retain my title.

The rules are simple enough:

1) 2 points for a correct tip 2) No editing of tips. At all. If you change your mind please quote your original tips in a new post. Avoids any potential skullbuggery and it's less easy to miss tips for me. 3) If you get 4/4 you get a bonus point, so that's 9 points for the round. 4) The rounds top tipper(s) will each receive an extra point but these will only be used to separate posters who are on the same number of total points. eg: Weekly score: Swingpanzee 6, Lokomotiv 2 - Total score: Swingpanzee would be on 6.1, Lokomotiv 2 5) Non-submitters get the lowest score, minus two points, for the round. 6) Tips must be submitted before the toss to be valid. 7) Latecomers join on the lowest actual score so far minus two points. 8) Competition includes finals series, no bonus points are awarded during the finals, just 2 points for a correct tip.

Is this purely for bragging rights? If so I'm in. Just got to check my beetle in the matchbox to see which way he's going to run. Be back soon.

 

[uvelocity]

no, winner gets a box for the 5th test, burgey's shout

 

[Riggins]

and also gets tickets to the test.

 

[wiff]

OK sorry,
Renegrades
Thundar
Heet
Streakers I really tried to push the beetle the other way on this one, but it really seemed to be attracted to Adelaide for some reason that defies nature.

Edit: can I pass the tickets onto someone else as I will be in SA for the fifth?

The first round is over with everyone bar ajdude getting off the mark. Hopefully his round 2 debut will be better. Tpw123 leads, getting all 3 of the completed matches correct. Unfortunately (or fortunately) doesn't get an opportunity for the bonus point, thanks to the no result.

Two points for a win (not sure why i did this) sees the leaderboard looking something like this:

1  Tpw123  6.1
2= brockley   4
2= ohnoitsyou  4
2= Dan  4
2= benchmark00  4
2= Riggins   4
2= morgieb   4
2= NUFAN   4
9= uvelocity  2
9= wiff   2
9= TimAngas 2
