Predictions Only Irish championship

    Yes folks it's back and likely to be even more fiercely contested this year than ever. Some people thought that the scoring last year was a bit convoluted so the format has changed.
    Each round you pick three games,,,,,,,,you get 2 pts for any of those games that are drawn and 5 points for each that results in a win for the lower rated player. You get nothing for any of the games that the higher rated player wins. So you aren't actually naming the results, just picking the games that you think could surprise. Maximum score per round is 15 pts.
    I want to see a good clean contest,no gouging, kicking or head butting, no petrol bombing of houses, no poisonous snakes in the letterbox or ringing people at 3 a.m to deprive them of sleep all of which we saw in last years competition.

    Not easy to predict upsets in the first round but the three games I'm going for are Daly Venkatesan,,Putar Murray and O'Donnell Cafolla


  • Registered Users Posts: 273 ✭✭EnPassant


    I will go for:-

    Carroll-O'Gorman
    Flynn-Moran
    Putar-O'Connell


  • Registered Users Posts: 24 Soda_Bread


    Carroll - O'Gorman
    Peoples - Melaugh
    O'Connor - O'Gorman

    soda_bread - 6 words, clear who his tips are
    En Passant - 6 words, clear who his tips are
    spidersweb - 633 words (with needless derogatory comments thrown in for no real reason), no idea who his tips are.

    Probably a lesson to be learned somewhere there.

    I think juniors are the way to go this week - no rated games since March means many could be underrated. I'll go for Putar v Murray, Daly v Venkatesan and Collins v Jackson

    First round draw is here for quick reference btw.

    Is this for predicting round results or predicting the winner?

    Perhaps someone who isn't playing in the championship could keep track of the scores and running totals?

    I did it last year, so I'll give it a bash again this year.

    Same caveat as last year that people are free to challenge what I post for them!

    There are two players with the surname Collins in the tournament - some clarification is needed?
