"Home Game Challenge" - Scottish Championships
« on: July 01, 2009, 23:29:20 PM »
... over the last couple of I"ve read a few posts on the strongest home game ... so I thought I would lay down the gauntlet for the Scottish Championships.

"My" old London home game has three runners in the Scottish Championships.

So the challenge is for a named team of three to beat our combined finishes.

1-18 pts for the top 18 finishers (1st -18 etc ... 18th = 1pt)

Happy to take on "Vitrual Home Games" ...

My team : The HOOPER STREET MASSIVE

Gareth Derbyshire
Charles Sanderson
Louis Manson

... I look forward to the challengers ...

Coincidentally there"s three people from a home game I hold occassionally playing in the Scottish Championship. Haven"t asked the guys yet but i"m sure we"d be up for a bit of a challenge. Our names are:

Chris O"Connor (Me ;D)
Kevin Gallagher
Gordon Casey

Was thinking though, IIRC the Scottish Champs only have around 150 runners so why not score backwards like you said but make it from 150th-1st instead of just top 18 so we get a true score which includes all team members as with scoring only the top 18 you"ll possibly only get one person at most scoring for a team to take it down (obviously me when I ship it :D)...?

I am one of the Hooper Street Massive. I shall bring my medals to wave at the opposition...

As to the points scoring, I think the issue was trying to work out exactly which place those early eliminations might be.

I suppose we could use time of departure instead in some way...

Does that mean you are giving us odds to beat you?  ;)

Do you have any other runners in Edinburgh?

Looking forward to it.

Open on the scoring system ... assuming it works ... as Charles says it may be difficult to get an exact position for early exits ... could be points for day 2 survival ... not sure how many are likely to go through to day 2 (might just be the 18??) ... starting with a smaller field ... how many went through to day 2 in Wales/Ireland?

Steve - out of interest.

You (the BCPC) have had a tremendous S3 ... were you all involved S1 and S2? This is first year I have been involved ... though my team mate Charles Sanderson has APAT form ... in S2.

there were a few of us in S2, and probably one or two in S1, but I don"t think there was the success that we"ve had this year. BCPC has only been going for a few months though...

Other BCPC members playing in Edinburgh are:
Matt McKinlay
Max McKinlay
Tod Wood
Tony Trippier

7 in all - gotta get at least one on to FT to keep the season"s run going!!

Yeah I suppose the early exits might be hard to get an exact finishing place. How about doing top 50 then? As from around there people more or less know exact finishing positions - 1pt for 50th all the way to 50pts for 1st? Could get a few teams involved. Three players per team ("B" teams allowed)...

Are we playing for pride or sticking in a couple of £ per team?
