FANTASY GRAND PRIX 2008

[Peregrinner]

Darrentheraker:

TIME OF ENTRY 19:12 on my system.

We should take a vote on whether this entry was in ON TIME as I was not here to check due to being IN CARDIFF at the time.

Hands up all those who think we should allow what appears to be a LATE ENTRY!

It is scarily accurate although he may be psychic.

18:12 on my system which I think was right as I was online at around that time - hope so otherwise my Bios must be up the "Swanee". Not sure what the official cut off time is for entries,
but for me it's a thumbs up !

Oh Dear !!

Just seen my last post says posted at 8:24 when it fact it is 9:24
so it's my set up that is wrong - therefore it was 19:12 that Darren posted. Isn't the rule 2 hours before the first race ?

And that probably explains my earlier post regarding Headmistress's and IDH's early morning postings

Sorry mate, it has to be a thumbs down

RULING (In accordance with BSPA standards)

Official:
The entry by Darrentheraker was received too late to be considered an official entry for the Exeter Falcons Supporters Forum Fantasy Grand Prix 2008. As a consequence, his previous entry of ANDERSEN, ADAMS, CRUMP and NICHOLLS stands in place.

We trust that in future all entrants will get their entries to the forum in good time, and certainly two hours before the start of the racing.


Unofficial:
As he is leading the table and is consequently causing the rest of us to be runners up the rest of us got together and decided that he needs to be pegged back a bit so we have punished him in the best way we can by minimising his points total.


Real:
Entry not in on time so it does not count - I am the referee and in Speedway referees never change their decision even when it can be proved by replay that they are wrong.

I particularly like Polish referees.

The British Grand Prix Result:

We should be good at predicting this one so the scores should be high.


RESULT:

60 craig
40 Mrs P
35 headmistress
32 Mrs Claas
32 Peregrinner
29 kickstart
29 paulboy
28 idh
28 Mr Looby
23 pip
18 billy
18 falconbomber
15 darrentheraker
12 Looby
12 tonyl
10 vintagebikes
8 johno
8 jourdan
8 MAINROADKID
8 Nevs
7 headmaster
7 liz
5 winkey

A fantastic score Craig, and maybe you are too reliant on Gollob Winkey. I should also point out that great second place by my Mrs who made her choice after looking at the draw.

But who is that in third place?

And I can see the Elite competitors at 4th and 5th.

Some good scores helping the League to spread out a bit.

Recount - Recount - Recount

There are some Bonus Points to be added.

There will be a new table appearing shortly.

Bonus Points Awarded:

1 Headmistress - I assume you picked up your tickets on time
1 Winkey - Awarded by Headmistress to the lowest scorer this time out
0 Winkey - Tomasz Gollob did not reach the final
0 Winkey - Edward Kennett was not the top Brit
1 TonyL - Bomber did achieve his first race win in his very first race
0 TonyL - Eddie Kennet rode well and did not fall
0 Mrs Claas - Lukas Dryml did not fall and scored poorly as a result
0 Mrs Claas - In the replay the Exeter Flag did not get a mention
(I only saw the replay at 8:30 am - did anyone watch live?)
1 Kickstart - Awarded because he made the semis and was excluded but did not get two race wins
1 Nevs - Nicholls did get excluded for trying too hard in the final
1 Looby - Nicky did NOT win but don't try this one again
1 Looby - There were at least 2 exclusions - Adams and B.Pedersen
0 Mr Looby - Kennet was not excluded - He rode well
0 Mr Looby - Every Grand Prix was not mentioned in the replay

So the Bonus Table to be added to the earlier points:

Tut Tut Darrentheraker!

Just goes to show what happens when your Mother in law is not around to text/nag you!! (Must admit I forgot to text you -sorry D)

Cannot think why you forgot to post your entry. A 2yr old, a 2week old and a miserable wife with Cardiff withdrawal symptoms is no excuse at all!!

At the end of the day, the ref's decision is final. Just ask Lemo or Leigh or Bjarne...................
didn't say they were right - just final!
