    Ada's Eurovision Game 2013 - In Play

    OK.....here we go again......

    Please checkout the GAME TABLE below or click HERE to see who's voted for who & your scores.

    Scoring
    The person finishing with the overall highest score will be declared the winner of a £10 Amazon eVoucher.

    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:
    12 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…..
    10pts will be ADDED to your score if the difference between the country’s actual placing & your predicted placing = 1
    8pts will be ADDED to your score if the difference between the country’s actual placing & your predicted placing = 2
    6pts will be ADDED to your score if the difference between the country’s actual placing & your predicted placing = 3
    4pts will be ADDED to your score if the difference between the country’s actual placing & your predicted placing = 4

    For example: If you predict that the UK will finish in 2nd place but they ACTUALLY finish in 4th place….the difference between their actual placing (4) and predicted placing (2) ……4-2 = 2, so 8 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.

    I cannot fault your somewhat 'twisted' optimism Vegy

    (PS: I'll probably regret saying that later this evening, given my track record with this game )

    At the moment, I;m kind of regretting not having Finland or Estonia in my top 5, I quite liked those 2.

    I see Laf has Finland at number 5, hmm...

    Ooh, this is nice, the old Russian one...

    Happy with my number 1 choice there...

    (and Graham seems to think it's a goody too)

    I can't for the life of me remember why I picked Malta as my No.5. Big mistake methinks.

    I was toying between Finland and Belgium for my No.4, and ended up picking Belgium. Probably another faux-pas on my part.

    Bonnie wasn't so bad actually, maybe a top 10 finish this year might be on the cards.

    First time I've heard the UK song all the way through.
    Decent enough song I suppose, and Bonnie allegedly has a big following in Europe, so who knows?
    I'll stick my neck out and say...............................still no chance of a Top Ten place.

    Something about that Hungary song. I don't think it'll finish in the bottom 3.

    You're deluded.

    Okay, maybe it won't finish bottom (thanks to bloody Romania) but it's definitely a losing runner upper

    Maybe not, but if Vegy's right and it's already been released as a single across Europe, then my guess is that it'll take some beating.

    Not heard the Ireland song, but you can currently get 5/1 on UK finishing higher than Ireland. Probably a very bad bet to take, but.......it's got to happen again ONE day.

    Just realised Ireland sings last so will be fresh in the voters' minds (if it's any good)

    Ireland's bound to get the ladies' vote.
    Quite liked the Georgia song as well.

    Vegy,

    You can only vote for Greece a maximum of 20 times.
    Won't be enough to get them into 2nd place!

    Putting Sweden 2nd could cost me. I actually like the song but if the odds are anything to go by it hasn't got a chance. Not sure of my bottom 3 either, I'd like to have Romania in there now I think.

    I think nobody having Roomania in the bottom 3 is indicitive that we all chose without listening to any of the songs first!

    Does anyone vote for the 'Eurovision' factor anymore. Probably not, but maybe, just maybe Romania may be kept out of the bottom 3 purely for its 'novelty' factor.

    OK Vegy, you don't need to say it again.......I'll say it myself......"I'm deluded"
