Fair play Mod.

You'll probably also have to do guides to the Sam/TC for the casuals and indeed some not so casual

I'll have to, now that I've opened the door.  The "performance" of some posters on the Ulster U20 thread showed me the need for very basic info to get posted on time. 

Blowitupref does a great job on live match scores/status.

Mod5, Will we be having a Championship competition?

Tried a championship competition a few years ago and felt it was nowhere near as good as the league.  The league had 16 games per round for 7 rounds among teams of reasonably similar abilities.  Not enough choice in most championship games, and not enough games either.  Although plenty group games when including the Tailteann Cup, I suppose.

Anyway, I'm not running a competition for the championship.

For ease of reference to benefit the more casual fan.

I'll update the post with results each weekend.

Thanks to all who participated, it was a bit of fun.

Congrats to mortified, winner by a single point over Dreadnought, with cloneman 3 back.  Board Majority only 3 back as well, which says something...but I'm not sure what!

Leaderboard after Rd 7...those within 8 points of the top...updated after Saturday's games...4 points max available on Sunday:

90    mortified...gets 1 point from Saturday, on 91

89    Dreadnought...gets 1 point from Saturday, on 90

87    Board Majority...gets 1 point from Saturday, on 88 - no margins picked

86    cloneman...gets 1 point from Saturday, on 87

84    SouthOfThe Bann...gets 1 point from Saturday, on 85

83    JoG2...gets 2 points from Saturday, on 85

82    Blowitupref, Ed Ricketts, John Martin...all three get 1 point from Saturday, on 83.


All three within 4 points of the top have Armagh and Dublin pickedfor Sunday, which means cloneman in third place cannot catch the two ahead.

mortified and Dreadnought both have Dublin by 4, so Dreadnought can only get the point needed to make it a draw by Armagh winning by exactly 3 points.  mortified has Armagh by 2 in case anyone is wondering (and too lazy to scroll back).

At least, that's the way it looks to me.


Should have full results posted by early Monday morning.

Saturday's Results:

Laois 3-14 Leitrim 0-9 (38 picked Laois, nobody got the margin correct).

Westmeath 2-10 Down 0-13 (6 picked Westmeath and maigheo was the only poster to get the margin correct.

No more personal "taunting" will be tolerated.

Permanent ban for violators.

You not a Tyrone man Seafoid? Post an awful lot of Derry stuff.

Fixed

Removed "ALL CAPS" format from title.

41 picks made for the Finals.

Here is the breakdown, without margins:

Laois 37-4

Down 35-6

Armagh 25-16

Dublin 33-8.

Hope to have competition final results up by Sunday night...but it might be Monday.
