The Red Dragon 2019 Grand Slam of Darts Prediction Game!

[Deleted User]

Were my predictions not in time for Saturday night? I seem to have got 0 points even though I know I got at least one result right.

I'm not bothered if I was too late btw.

I'm sure fling will check next next week, when he's back.

You entered at 8.10pm so you may well have missed the cut off.

One minute after that wasnt it? When play hadnt even started. A bit harsh.

I'm just suggesting that may be why. I've no idea when the cut off actually was.

[Ginge]

Common sense dictates its the start of play, the time of ten past the hour the programme starts is just a guide really.

[Si Robin]

As I said, I'm not overly bothered as I don't think I was really in the running anyway, I just didn't want to have been missed in error.

As David says, we'll see when Fling's back.

Had to edit my predictions for the semis as robot predicted the same scores at the last minute so I couldn't overtake him. Tosser.

[Sally]

I forgot to do my predictions this morning.....we were busy sorting out a water butt, and not doing it very well!

Good luck all, thanks for running it Fling, and looking forward to the next one!

Didnt know there was a monopoly on choosing scores?
Our bonuses have a variation, 3 out of our final predictions scores are different and we have a different bonus checkout prediction!
Sorry for having to work this morning and not having enough time to do it before then.

Good luck to you mate!

All

Please see revised positions for Friday and Saturday.

The revision for Friday is that I had downloaded some of the data early before the cut-off and robot revised his predictions.
Thanks for his honesty as his original prediction scored 12 points and his revised predictions score NIL.

The change to Saturday is due to the above and also adding si robins predictions.

I really should stop being so efficient in downloading predictions early or ask that any edits are also notified by PM.

I will start to do Sunday points shortly but may not be finalised until the morning.

[Si Robin]

Cheers fling - soz for causing a scene, especially as it only put me into 17th.

Thanks for running this by the way.

And we have a winner

O C has pipped Hamo by 2 points due to better bonus pint predictions in the final.

It is a well deserved victory after moving to the top spot on Thursday.

In the semis 18 out of the 24 entries picked Wright as the winner with 4 (fling, ssjsa, hamo and DAVEBR) of those predicting the correct scoreline of 16-11.

5 players (ssjsa, Kyeavfc, dan2002dp, Wubbalubbadubdub and Bluespark) predicted Price to beat MVG but none of them had the correct scoreline.

Semi Final Bonuses
MVG had the highest average in the semi-finals with 20 people picking up 5 bonus points.
Glen Durrant had the lowest average in the semi-finals with 18 people picking up 5 bonus points.
Peter Wright had the highest checkout (155) with 6 people picking up 5 bonus points.

A total of 6 people picked up 15 bonus points for getting all 3 correct. (Bluespark, gm180, dan2002dp, simrew, fling and daveshep1508).

The top scorer in the semi-finals was me (fling) with 32 points.

Into the finals
10 people picked Price to beat Wright but unsurprisingly no-one had the correct score. The closest prediction was actually 16-11.

The highest average was 107.86
The lowest average was 96.28
The highest checkout was 130 and no-one picked up any bonus points for this as closest prediction was 141.

The Crusader was the top scorer in the final with 20 points but the 19 points scored by O C was what helped him clinch the overall win.

The top 7 on the leaderboard all predicted Price to win the final which shows how easily a correct prediction at this stage changes the leaderboard.

[hamo]

oooh, almost...got closer than I thought in the end though.

Cheers to fling for running and the updates throughout

[O C]

Wow, surprised to have finished at the top! Thanks fling for running and keeping us updated!
All in all it was a great GSOD. I wonder how many would have predicted Price repeating his win at the beginning.
I will celebrate my 'bonus pints' during my league match Thursday night
