The Unicorn 2013 Grand Slam Prediction Game - Group Stages

Rules, prizes and tables can be found by clicking here

The Group Stages start this Saturday at 1pm.

What to do

Please predict the results of the GROUPS and provide me with an answer to the bonus questions.

ONE POINT for each player you predict correctly in the group, and there are a few bonuses too for FIVE POINTS each, so a total of 47 POINTS available in this round.

PLEASE ENSURE YOUR ENTRY SPECIFIES A SET OF DARTS, ALONG WITH FIVE DIGIT CATALOGUE CODE, FROM THE UNICORN CATALOGUE - (click here). Entries without this vital information will be ignored when awarding the prizes!!!

DEADLINE - 1pm Saturday 9th November

Good luck! A template will follow below.

USE THE TEMPLATE (IN THE POST IMMEDIATELY BELOW) IN THE ORDER GIVEN. THIS TAKES A HUGE AMOUNT OF TIME TO DO AS IT IS, ANYONE NOT USING THE TEMPLATE EXACTLY WILL HAVE THEIR ENTRY IGNORED, NO ARGUMENTS. PLEASE DO NOT EVEN LEAVE SPACES AFTER THE PLAYERS' NAMES AS THIS IS CAUSING HEADACHES - THANKS.

Note: The template is not my entry.
****************************************************************************

How do we do this just put 1st ,2nd etc. next to the names

Just copy and paste the template into your post and re-arrange the names in the order you'll think they'll finish before submitting the entry, Phil.

Are you seriously struggling with that template?

Play nicely Ginge! I guarantee we'll have plenty that don't use the template at all, at least Phil is asking the question.

[Paddy McGinty]

Can I put the first at the bottom of each group sort of countdown stylie?

Of course you can. And the spreadsheet will ignore it and you will score zero points in that round.

Strangely in the test simulation run to see what would upset the data it was your entries that were designed to go wrong.
Coincidence? I don't think so.

[Paddy McGinty]

Test simulation? I haven't even submitted any data yet.

We did some dummy entries where the ones in your name were all to hell

If I enter this comp I hope you're not going to show any prejudice against me.

Why on Earth would I? Follow the template and everything will be fine.
I'm far to busy to go round amending the spreadsheets manually.

Good luck.

[Zeyes]

One note: You can abbreviate the player names to just their surnames in your entry, EXCEPT for Kim and Ronny Huybrechts and Ross and Michael Smith. This goes for BOTH the group positions and the bonus questions, even though for the groups it's apparent which one you mean - but the automation won't be smart enough to know which way to auto-correct it if it just sees "Smith" or "Huybrechts", so please always give the full names for these four players.
