The Unicorn Grand Slam Prediction Game 2017 - HOMEPAGE
The Unicorn 2017 Grand Slam of Darts Prediction Game!
This thread will be updated with the current tables and rules etc.
Prizes
The Top 3 will win a set of darts of their choosing from the Unicorn catalogue -(click here)
Thanks as always go to Unicorn for their generosity.
In addition, a randomly selected entry from the First Round thread, as long as they have predicted in all rounds, will also win a Unicorn Eclipse Pro dartboard
What to do
Before each round I shall start a thread where I shall ask you to predict the final group standings, or the score of each match, as well as a few bonuses to mix it up a bit.
Scoring is as follows:
Group Stages - 1 point for every position guessed correctly, plus a bonus point for getting every position in a group correct.
Last 16 - 3 points for correct result, 7 points for correct result AND score
QF's - 6 points for correct result, 13 points for correct result AND score
SF's - 8 points for correct result, 17 points for correct result AND score
Final - 10 points for correct result, 21 points for correct result AND score
Bonuses will generally be 5 points each, although this may differ for the Final.
Be aware there is a short turnaround between each round ending and the next starting - so be aware of this when entering!!
The Semi Final and Final sessions are both played the same day so these will be predicted on AT THE SAME TIME.
In your prediction for the FIRST ROUND I shall ask you to specify a set of darts of your choosing from the Unicorn catalogue -click here. Entries without this vital information may be ignored!!!
Be aware that the set you choose in the First Round thread is the set you win.
A template will follow soon.
Good luck!
DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES - Start of play on Saturday 11th November (around ten minutes into the Sky broadcast)
Smallprint
The highest three scores will win the set of darts of their choosing.
If a tie is needed to split the winners, then bonuses will be disregarded and the player with the highest aggregate score across all round excluding bonuses shall win. If still tied, the player(s) with the highest Finals Night score will win in the tie.
If still tied after this, then countback will take place, looking at who had the highest Semi Final session score, highest Quarter Final etc, until a tie can be split. In the unlikely event there is still a tie, a mini-prediction game involving the Players Championship Finals (the weekend after the final) will be used to split it.
All entries need to have a dart code and weight as published on the Unicorn website. If an entry does not have this information than the prize will revert to fourth place and so on. The darts selected in the first round will be the darts shipped, no exceptions (unless out of stock in which case the winner will be asked to pick another)
The decision of myself and the site moderators are final.
The random draw will use the thread for the First Round and as a loyalty this can only be won by someone who has predicted in all five rounds (across four threads). The same user cannot win the random draw and a prize by finishing in the top three. If the random draw selects them, it will be redrawn.
Entries made after the published deadline in each round may be accepted at my discretion, minus the bonuses and matches that have been played already.
PS I will be going to Wolverhampton first thing Sunday morning for the semi-finals and final and will not be back home until the Monday afternoon so it likely that the final results will not be published until the Tuesday

You may want to post the Random Draw spreadsheet (or details of how you are doing this) sharpish before somebody inevitably moans at you...

I don't even use the random generator.
The wife (who has no input) picks a random number relating to their first prediction post.
I can use the generator if you wish in future.

Yes but someone can easily just moan that you made a number up after looking in the thread and picking a number relating to someone you like, at least with this method nobody can moan, the spreadsheet is on the site and if it is changed an edit stamp would appear.BlueSpark wrote:I don't even use the random generator.

I have noticed on my prediction tonight I have Gary Anderson 10-9 7 Michael Smith, obviously an error having 2 scores for Michael. Could you take it as 10-7 to Gary.

Fling will attend to your request.
Pay attention.
Re: The Unicorn Grand Slam Prediction Game 2017 - HOMEPAGE
I noticed that a little while ago. It depends what the result is. If it finishes 10-9 I will assume you meant 10-7 and if it finishes 10-7 I will assume you meant 10-9.nevil22 wrote:Ginge

After the completion of the Last 16 we have a new leader - COPIGME. However with the points system increasing this could all easily change.
The updated table is attached.
Don't forget to predict by 7.10pm tomorrow night for the Quarter Finals games.
