    This is a bit of fun and is based on predicting where you think the Irish athletes will come in Helsinki. Very simple, simply post a reply and edit the table and input your prediction.

    Predict 1st to 24th - so if you think Hession will come 10th, just put in 10 beside his name.

    If an athlete has a DNF/DNS/DQ or is outside the top 24 this will be counted as a 24th place.

    Scoring: For each athlete prediction, if you predict the exact position you get 0 pts (also see Bonus). For each position your prediction varies you will be given a 1 point. So, you predict Hession in 10th, he comes 12th, you get 2 pts.

    Winning: The poster with the lowest score wins.

    Bonus: If you exactly predict an athlete's position, you get a -5 pts bonus.

    Going to post tomorrow. As I started thread I felt best not try to influence picks (dont want any army of angry newer posters giving out if they think I might be any good at this thing just for the record people I have a terrible record in this one :D ) and try to encourage new ones into these comps. No Fantasy League for Euro's I am afraid though as soon as they are over I will roll out the big one for London and will try get our biggest year yet:D

    Who's in charge of counting up the points must be the biggest winning score in this format as everyone thought that Joanne would be in the 400m final
