Ada's Eurovision Game 2013 - In Play

[TheGoodGuy]

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.

Looking at the predictions, I clearly have this in the bag me thinks.

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 )

[vegyjones]

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...

[vegyjones]

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)

[TheGoodGuy]

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.

[vegyjones]

I wasn't a big fan of the belgium song...

Okay, Romania to finish bottom!

[vegyjones]

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

[TheGoodGuy]

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.

[vegyjones]

here comes the odds on favourite

ooh, apparently already a single out all over europe.

That'll help, last years winning song was |if I remember right.

[TheGoodGuy]

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

[Paul]

So Graham does not rate Denmark as a runaway winner...

[TheGoodGuy]

What's Rick Wakeman doing singing for Iceland?

[vegyjones]

You're deluded.

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

[vegyjones]

Maybe he's got a few quid on Russia

[TheGoodGuy]

So Graham does not rate Denmark as a runaway winner...

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.

[vegyjones]

That's a good song from Azerbaijan, glad I top fived them.

And the upside down man in the box is a very nice touch too. I like!

[vegyjones]

Holy crap,

Greece in second is looking like a massive boob.

[TheGoodGuy]

Ah, now I remember why I liked the Ukraine song!!

[TheGoodGuy]

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)

[TheGoodGuy]

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

[TheGoodGuy]

Vegy,

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

[vegyjones]

Guaranteed 12 points off Cyprus annyways.

[Laf]

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!

I actually listened to them all!

[TheGoodGuy]

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"
