Good luck, people, and may Dan Hazelwood win. (You will note that I did not say the "best man.")

And what does your failure to mention today's scores for yourself indicate

We told Dan to use the submarine strategy, not to explore the Marianas Trench. I blame operator error.nikgaukroger wrote:babyshark wrote:This represents a well thought out submarine strategy.dave_r wrote:Given that Dan got a narrow win in his first game (11-9 I think) and got walloped 24-1 in the second then I suspect the Septic challenge is now over.

Having seen all the lists here are some entirely biased comments on the offerings.

I know you have a big mouth some times Nik but you thought you a little more proffestional that this.
Nah. Once all the lists are in there really isn't anything anyone can do to change things. The outcome of the event will be determined by who plays well (or rolls poorly, Dan H), not by any snark thrown around by the list checker.expendablecinc wrote:Feel free to comment all you want after the games.

I'd think it would be a good laugh if this was done at some of the BHGS in the UK, as stated once lists are in nothing changes. Maybe we could start betting on the result. Its all done as a joke really. Side issue can scotland not have a team next year?nikgaukroger wrote:expendablecinc wrote: I think it is very disappointing that the formal list checker is providing public commentary on submitted lists before the worlds.

Created to cause controversy and, it was intended, banter on the event - as is done with some other events. OK-ed by the organisers before posting, perhaps asking them about it would be appropriate.
Allows all concerned to tell me afterwards what a bloody useless pundit I am and what the f*&% do I know about army choice - I await your (possibly justified) abuse on that score ...
Thats what we need a bit less wit, charm and humour and more personal abuse!!expendablecinc wrote:I think it is very disappointing that the formal list checker is providing public commentary on submitted lists before the worlds.

So will Drummond and Holland draw in round 5 allowing Ruddock and Hammy to sneak through the middle with big wins in the final two rounds? Will it be a Winter of discontent for some?titanu wrote:Come on Dave and James show the colonials how it should be done!zoltan wrote:Drummond 77.7

There is beer involved in this - points scoring system is as follows
- named player in the top three - 1 point
- named player in correct spot - 3 points
Feel free to add your own gueses. It must be noted that Phil felt "shamed, unclean and somewhat soiled" over his choice, but as there was beer involved he went for the pragmatic rather than romantic viewpoint.
