Ada's Eurovision Game 2011 - In Play

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

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.

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.

Good Luck everyone, looks like it could be very tight this year...:smile:

You said that last year Vegy.....and look what happened!!

Why does everyone think that Spain will be in the bottom 3?
Just heard it for the first time.....it's my idea of a perfect 'Eurovision' type of song.
I would bet on it doing better than finishing in the last 3.....though knowing my luck.....

Foo Fighters on BBC3....much different to Eurovision! :laugh

More make up?

Biggest surprise for me was Iceland, that for me was a classic Euro song, and I put it in my bottom 3 on the strength of the betting market so that could cost me in the comp, and Moldova was quirky and rather good too. Georgia, bit of metal style was decent...

I liked the Iceland song too.
Should have listened to all the songs before I made my selections.

Blimey.....UK top of the leaderboard...for how long?

That's why all put Spain to finish bottom 3 Ada... no one votes for them... Come on Denmark :biggrin:

Go Jedward!!

Fair comment :hubbahubba:

I do despair of the British public that vote on these things sometimes. 12 points for Jedward:headbange

UK give Ireland 12 points.
Will Ireland reciprocate?

France were 3/1 now 150/1 and I had the for 2nd place...

I must admit I only picked France for my top 5 purely because they were red hot favourites.
It's certainly not going their way at the moment, is it?

Oh, and pleeeease don't let Jedward win it!!!!!

Ive got Iceland last.

Woo, 3 in the top 5! :biggrin:

Graham Norton says the bookies dont normally get it wrong and there may be a late surge for France. At 1000/1 on betfair I doubt it!

Go Spain, 3rd from last..... Now stay there.

I think Iron Chris might be facing a bit of a struggle this year.

Quote from Attheraces: For me France are by far the most likely winner and value at anything above Evens.

Oh poo... Spain just got 2 points.

Those of you who have Estonia in your top 5 are going to be hit hard when it comes to the scores for this game me thinks...

It's all going Pete Tong for me now.. :frown:

Having Italy and Greece in my bottom 3 iseems terminal at the moment.

6points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear....I have Italy in my bottom 3 and Romania in my top 5.
Don't think I'll be anywhere near winning this. :lickme

Ha Ha Ha.......Ireland only gave the UK 6 points....typical huh?
