World Championship Predictions Thread

World Championship Prediction thread

Been held a few times before but slightly changing up the format this year to try and encourage more to enter as results are weighted for prediction style format

Rules are as such:

1) Choose selection for each event
2) Points are awarded for a correct prediction and are based on the column chosen from (the more bold the prediction the higher the reward)
3) Other counts as anyone not listed
4) Highest number of points win (Will do best Male Prediction and Female as well as combined)

Copied the list from National leagues list of events when trying to multi task.

Will add today though if original lists not updated I will add them and discount two worst points tally's to keep it fair

Pherekydes

Can we change our selections up to the cut-off?

In other news de Grasse has withdrawn.

Extending deadline till 1st event tonight (7pm) if people wish to change till that point I will let them (if only because I have been too busy to meet my own deadline and announce my predictions :P)
