    Ada's Eurovision Game 2012 - 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.

    I don't think so.......it's what I call a typical Eurovision song, and it's a lot better than the song they had last year!!

    Sweden's is a massive favourite, but I wasn't so keen.

    But Mr Norton said it had already been a hit around most of Scandanavia so I guess it will be popular.

    A few of the songs I've only heard for the first time tonight...like Cyprus and Greece, which I both liked.
    I've picked Russia to win it cos I'm assuming they're going to get the sympathy vote from all the former Soviet republics so they can rebuild their church that Stalin pulled down 70 odd years ago.

    You could well be right.
    I think Ireland & Cyprus will do quite well even though I haven't picked them myself.

    Having said that, my idea of a winning Eurovision song is completely different from the rest of Europe as the last 6 years of playing this game has proved.

    I have Albania to finish last. They're currently 6th!!!
    That's going to be costly for me.

    3 of my best 5 are in the top 3, just not in the right order!

    So much for the hype that The Hump has a massive fan-base across all of Europe and will attract loads of votes.
    We're doing absolutely AWFUL.
    I know we are not particularly respected anymore amongst our European comrades, but this competition really hammers home how much we are disliked nowadays.

    But the selection process is terrible anyway.

    Didn't even get a choice this year. Who ever invisiged that Engelbert would be a Eurovision winner??

    Yes Vegy, I totally agree.

    The upside of this for me is that my bet for Ireland to finish higher than the UK is looking an absolute dead-cert.

    Graham is suggesting that coming first didn't help but Albanis were 3rd and didn't do too bad.

    Well, it's now time for me to unlock and retire to my darkened room once again to sort out the scores.
    I think it may be close, but then again......
    Are you going to stay up & wait for the final scores.....I'll try and be as quick as possible!!!

    Doesn't look easy to call on the face of it.

    Will be glad not to finish last (or maybel that would be more credible!!)

    My thanks to Paul and Ada for the company during the evening.

    Hi guys....

    A very close game this year especially for the 'losers'.
    Two last place positions for me on the trot. What am I doing wrong?

    A bit depleted on the player front this year but once again many thanks to you die-hards (you know who you are) who have yet again supported this game for the 7th consecutive year.
    I really do appreciate your continued support and here's hoping we can do it all again next year.

    Many congratulations Laf....I'm not sure whether you are going to be dancing in the street after taking Scooby's Eurovision crown (I bet HE will be!)....but along with now having the dubious title of Win2Win Eurovision 2012 Champion..... I'm afraid this forces you to come back next year to either successfully defend or maybe relinquish your title.

    Laf, please could you PM me an Email address so that I can send you your winning £10 Amazon Voucher.
