Rossoneri Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 It's that time of the year again. Following the good work of Paul and Gerben in previous years, here is this year's edition. (I've not seen anyone else starting the thread for this year's if there is, apologies!) Information about teams, draws can be found at http://www.ecatsbridge.com/Events/wbf/2011netherlands/default.asp As per the previous years: BERMUDA BOWL 4 losing quarter-finalists (3 points each)2 losing semifinalists (6 points each)Runner-up (12 points)The winner (24 points) VENICE CUP 4 losing quarter-finalists (3 points each)2 losing semifinalists (6 points each)Runner-up (12 points)The winner (24 points) SENIORS BOWL 4 losing quarter-finalists (2 points each)2 losing semifinalists (4 points each)Runner-up (8 points)The winner (16 points)for a maximum of 160 points. Entry Deadline: 2359 UTC, Friday 30 September 2011 Each entry should contain 8 teams for each of the three competitions, namely the four losing quarter-finalists, two losing semifinalists, runner up and winners. You can only have a single entry, but you may change your choice at any time before the entry deadline. Each team will score the minimum of your placing for them and their final position, for example:if you pick a team as a losing quarter-finalist but they win the competition, then you get the points for a losing quarter-finalistif you pick a team as the winner but they lose in the final, then you get the points for the runner-up. Entries will be accepted in this thread, through PM or comments on my blog. 'Anonymous' entries will be rejected. All accepted entries will published on Google Docs. First Prize wins...er...bragging rights for the next 2 years :P Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerclee Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 If USA1 and USA2 both make it out of the round robin, when are they forced to play each other? Edit: Seems like the semifinals.

Rain Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Sorry I saw this too late. Since this contest has closed, we want to host another predict the winner contest (via BBO news) with some small prize for BBOers(only asking for Bermuda Bowl winner to make things easy). We'll take the entries in this spreadsheet too if okay with everyone. No need to enter twice unless you want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
