[shaolinpunk]

I've had the highest score across the whole competition... so I'm definitely not going to win.

Don't worry I've got everybody's.

Just out of interest I have plotted the route to the final stage for the four finalists:

shaolinpunk
Winner of Group A with 247 points
2nd in Group D with 43 points
2nd in Group H with 46.5 points

Brighton Lines
Winner of Group B with 234 points
2nd in Group E with 36 points
Winner of Group G with 46 points

brakespeare
5th in Group B with 211 points (qualified as a high scorer)
Winner of Group D with 44 points
2nd in Group G with 41 points

The Brighton Bear
5th in Group A with 215 points (qualified as a high scorer)
2nd in Group F with 45 points
Winner of Group H with 48.5 points

Interesting that no-one from Group C made it to the finals and two finalists qualified from the first round via the high score route.

I've totted up the cumulative score of all the last 8 which also makes interesting reading:

Shaolinpunk 314*
Nathan 310
Brighton Lines 298*
Giraffe 287
Brighton Bear 286*
Mattbackhome 285
Father & Son 275
Brakespear 274*

* denotes finalists

Don't worry I've got everybody's.

Can you post the predictions now that you have them or is that spoiling things?

 

[shaolinpunk]

Can you post the predictions now that you have them or is that spoiling things?

Surely if he does that we might as well have done it ourselves?

 

[The Brighton Bear]

Surely if he does that we might as well have done it ourselves?

Posting them secretly prevented us from knowing what the other finalists were predicting beforehand.

 

[shaolinpunk]

If anyone had 7-1 to Germany then, frankly, you deserve to win this whole thing

Thanks to Theatre Of Trees for all the organisation. Well done [MENTION=4147]shaolinpunk[/MENTION] on a worthy victory.

Just like when I was defeated in the final of my school 'Subbuteo World Cup' 1981, I shall endure many years of bitterness and hurt. But once healed, I shall return, with great courage, to mount another challenge for a footballing title in another 33 years.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Woooo! I did it! Yay! #winning

Thanks for doing this Theatre of Trees, it was good fun.
