by noleisthebest Mon May 26, 2014 9:42 pm

OK, I've offered to help rotla with the prediction game and added up the points for day one and two, so I'll keep my word.
What have got myself into headhurts

I've done it the old-fashioned pen and paper, mental maths way, so be kind to me if you spot any mistakes, please!
After all, I need a holiday Winking

by noleisthebest Mon May 26, 2014 10:02 pm

Please check your scores and let me know if I need to correct anything. I can only try my best, no? Winking

by summerblues Mon May 26, 2014 10:11 pm

Looking at the scores after first two days I think I understand why you were keen to add them up smiley

I noticed GP and I had the same picks on day 1, but I think we were different day 2, so some of our picks must have offset to give the same totals.

by summerblues Mon May 26, 2014 10:32 pm

BTW, thanks for keeping track of the scores. The game is fun enough even if I do not know the score, but it is nice to be able to see how I have done so far.

by noleisthebest Mon May 26, 2014 10:36 pm

That's OK!
It can't be easy for rotla to do picks, add scores, makes his boss, his wife & kids, pets, and all of us happy!

Funny thing about the game, I find myself cheering for players I never would've otherwise.
After feeling so sorry for Nishi initially, I ended up being annoyed with him for ruining my chances of a potential perfect 6/6 score for today! Laugh

by summerblues Mon May 26, 2014 10:41 pm

...also it allows for some good old-fashioned trash-talk...

...so, remember that a slam cannot be won on day 2. Or, to borrow a quote from golf, "slums of Chicago are full of first round leaders" smiley

PS. I hope it is clear this is meant in jest.

by noleisthebest Mon May 26, 2014 10:45 pm

He, he...in that case, I'd better feel super good about myself while I can!
And let's not forget, winning RG prediction game will be tougher than winning Wimbledon.
It's got an extra day, pure clay grinding!

Let's put it this way, it made all that adding up just a tad bit easier to bear Winking

Also, if I'm unable to post the matches of the day by 9:00 PM UK time, Someone please post the matches too. Timezone differences can make it inconvenient for all to make their choices in time.

by noleisthebest Tue May 27, 2014 6:10 pm

Yes, the game adds a bit of competitive spark during slams.

Imagine how the players must be feeling walking on Centre Court for the first time if we get all worked up about our little game here Laugh

Not to mention lifting that trophy.
Goran must be still sleeping with his little replica under the pillow.

I think I should make my predictions.. and then once done.. blindly edit it to select the exact opposite... I might just do better.

It's a 2 race game! The hares and tortoises!

by Tenez Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:34 am

I am the quickest tortoise!

by noleisthebest Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:41 am

Funny you mention tortoises, that's the nickname I gave to myself long time ago.

by Autumnleaf Mon Jun 02, 2014 10:01 am

I caught up to the other tortoises! Yeh! Laugh

@NITB I like the sound of the word tortoise - it's beautiful. Sounds so french, but comes from Greek. They are such interesting animals too - when I was in a zoo a few weeks ago, I spent most of the time watching the tortoises. Love Blush

Some action there. Laugh

I think this is not fair on the front runner who has had to deal with tough completion for 12 days. And plus making the last 3 or 4 predictions isn't any more difficult than it had been till now. Doubling the score is just too much of a reward for only 3 correct matches.

I'm with GP... we stay as with the old rules.

by Tenez Fri Jun 06, 2014 8:00 am

I am easy to drop the idea. I still think the mens final should be worth double points...cause it is the biggest match and we all have a good and clear idea on how they play.....and who should win!

by gallery play Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:15 am

I was kidding but i like the fact that we're discussing it. This means the prestige of this competition can't be overlooked!

However: do whatever you guys want with the scores Winking
