OK everybody......here we go.....

Please checkout the GAME TABLE below or click HERE (http://www.win2winracing.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=4227&d=1242525240) to see who's voted for who & your scores.

Scoring
The person finishing with the overall highest score will be declared the winner & will win the £15 Amazon Voucher prize...however, if I score the highest, then I win and therefore won't have to shell out any prize money.

Each person will start with 100 points.
Points will be added or deducted to/from this score using the following rules:

i) If you correctly predict the final placing of any of your nominated countries: 10 points will be ADDED to your score.

ii) If any of your nominated countries finish in their respective Top 5 or Bottom 3 zones but are incorrectly placed within those zones….. 5 points MINUS the difference between the country’s actual placing & your predicted placing will be ADDED to your score….
For example: If you predict that the UK will finish in 2nd place but they ACTUALLY finish in 4th place…. 5 points (for correctly predicting UK to finish in the Top 5) MINUS the difference between their actual placing (4) and predicted placing (2) …………… 5-(4-2) = 3 points will be added to your score.

iii) If any of your nominated countries fail to finish in their respective Top 5 or Bottom 3 zones, the difference between the country’s actual placing & your predicted placing will be DEDUCTED from your score…..
For example: If you predict that the UK will finish in 4th place but they ACTUALLY finish in 21st place…. 21 – 4 = 17 points will be deducted from your score.

Good luck to you all

I can't take my eyes off the girl from Azerbaijan! :)

Who's winning Ada? :Helooo

Is that a trick question? :D

Points are awarded depending in which position the countries finish in the show compared to your predicted placings.

So until the voting is finished I can't tell you.

Looks as though it could be good for those who picked Greece & Azerbaijan to be in their Top 5. They seem very popular with the audience......but who knows?

Is that the Danish Ronan Keating? :omg: I know the song is :butthead: but I reckon that'll score points.

How funny is the Albanian turquoise gimp?! :)

TheGoodGuy
16th May 2009, 21:26
What on earth is that supposed to be?

That song sounds marginally better if you just listen to it & not watch the gimp.

First time I've heard the Norway song.

Not bad I suppose as a Eurovision song......but not my cup of tea though.
