this is all going a bit off topic. you should all be patting me on the back for being champion pundit. but yes you could write to panini but that would have been sad, like writing to jim'll fix it or dennis the menace's fan club. (all of which i have done.)

Yes. Hearty congratulations to you UP. You deserve the victory, the money and the respect of your peers.

I'll work out the final scores at lunchtime since everyone's lost interest in it (well, everyone who's got no chance of winning).

Right. I've worked out the final scores, and these are my calculations. I would implore someone to check it though, as it is a pain in the arse to get right, I miscalculated TKA's score that I gave you before, and there may be others.....

The format is (2nd round + QF + SF + 3rd place + Final = TOTAL)

FADER 41 + 24 + 4 + 0 + 0 = 69
TKA 36 + 16 + 6 + 0 + 0 = 58
JIMMY MAC 42 + 31 + 12 + 0 + 0 = 85
CARDINAL 43 + 35 + 15 + 8* + 18 = 119
UNKNOWN 47 + 34 + 18 + 0 + 0 = 99
JAC 38 + 24 + 12 + 0 + 0 = 74
CHRISYB 39 + 20 + 6 + 0 + 0 = 65
NIXXY 43 + 24 + 6 + 0 = 73
ADMIN 35 + 24 + 6 + 0 + 0 = 65
DEMMERZ 43 + 24 + 6 + 0 + 0 = 73

Meaning the final score table (based on Faders rechecked after round 1 table) is as follows

1. Unknownpseudonym = 191pts
2. Cardinal Richelieu = 185pts
3. Nixxy = 160pts
4. Jimmy Mac = 154pts
5. Demmerz = 151pts
6. Fader = 147pts
7. TKA = 138pts
8. Just another clone = 137pts
9. Admin = 131pts
10. ChrisyB = 124pts

This looks like well dodgy, but I think I've managed to fluke 2nd place!!!

* My points total includes 8 points for Germany being in the 3rd place (as I had them losing in the semi-final). However, I would still be 2nd place regardless.... I actually had Germany down to win their 3rd place play off (honest!), which would have given me a further 8 points, thus surpassing Unknown's score. However, no point in mumping and moaning about it now.

Any thoughts?

EdIT : We voted that the prizes should be split 30, 15 and 10. However, since there are only 10 people in it, then there is only 50 quid to split between the 3 winners. Might I suggest the structure. 50p, £48, £1.50 ?

I'm actually banking that nobody else can be arsed working them out. In fact, I'd have put myself 1st, but I know you wouldn't have had any truck with that.

Just as an aside, I would have quite happily foregone all prize monies if I could have beaten you to 1st place.


WHY O WHY O WHY didn't I put down a 3rd place match?

Italy were my tip to be the big-name flop of the tournament. So they go and win the thing! Nice work, UKP.

And hats off to Fader for keeping the scores so well through the tournament. And more hats off to JAC for sorting out the dosh. Trebles all round!

It was I who predicted who Italy would win it. UKP had England down to beat Germany 99-0

(sorry. couldn't resist letting that one lie)

Well the poll got more votes for top 3 but looks like we decided to pay top 1 :? :?

If Up doesn't mind then we will go top 3, if he does mind then we have a debate brewing :x
