ICC Trophy Challenge!

[JeffStar]

sorry to put this in both forums, just want to make sure all cricketweb posters get to see this, let see what you guys got!
====================
with the biggest cricket tourny (besides the WC) only one week away, i thought i'd set up an AllOut!-********** ICC Champions Trophy Cricket Challenge


Rules:
-Pick which team you think will win, get 3 points
-Pick the bonus questions, get 1 point for each correct one.
-After the first round, a certain amount of players will be eliminated based on the amount of people playing. It will be announced before the comp starts.
-make picks like so:
Screen name (website/board)
Pick
Bonus answer
-so an example for the first to games:

the schedule will be listed as-
sept 10
USA-NZ
bonus:
will usa get over 100 runs?
will a nz player get a century?

Eng-ZIM
will Zim get over 100 runs?
will a eng player get a century?

the picks are to be listed like so-
AllOut! (**********)
USA
Yes
No
(skip a line)
ENG
Yes
Yes

Any questions, post here. The reason i put (website/board) is so everyone can see which site you frequent/board you post on, sort of like having your hometown posted. This contest has been posted on numerous boards so it’s a good way to keep track.. Also, we can see if a certain site has some people who have no idea how to pick winners!

That being said all are welcome. It doesn’t matter if you have been a long time cricket fan who is a self proclaimed expert (I know there’s a lot of you out there!), or a cricket newbie. The object is to bring cricket fans from different sites together and have fun.

I have a challenge currently going on for the AFL (aussie footy) and its going well. Its only been promoted on two sites and we have 29 people signed up, so for this I expect more, so keep in mind spots will be limited. Check out www.**********.com and scroll to the bottom to see the set-up, and check out this link to see how the rules are-

Schedule and bonus questions to come soon, so post here if you are interested, no picks yet until the full schedule and bonus questions are listed!

[JeffStar]

ok, i know everyone was waiting for the schedule/bonus ?'s to be listed before they signed up, so here it is.

its simple, 3 pts per win, 1 pts per bonus. you don't need the win to get the bonus.

comments:
-3 games, and Nnanden controls first all alone. Nnanden is the only one to have a perfect score too.
-Bonus point if you can pronounce the first place person's name (just kidding).

-Cricketweb is the best..... and the worst. Cricketweb.net players have first and last place.

-no worries though b/c the middle of the pack (places one through 8) are separated by one game only
