2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Tipping Competition

First topic message reminder :

2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Tipping Competition

Competition Rules:

Pick the Winner:

and

Pick the Margin:

N - Narrow
C - Comfortable
E - Easy
T - Thrashing

Narrow	0-15 runs or super over	1-2 wickets or 0-6 balls remaining* or super over
Comfortable	16-49 runs	3-5 wickets or 7-18 balls remaining*
Easy	50-99 runs	6-8 wickets or 19-30 balls remaining*
Thrashing	100+ runs	9+ wickets or 31+ balls remaining*

* The lowest fitting tier of wickets and balls remaining will apply.
For example, a win by 9 wickets with 1 ball remaining or a win by 1 wicket with 20 balls remaining are both Narrow.

Please get your selections in at least an hour before the toss of the first match for each 'block' of 15 matches. No points earned for late entries.

If for any reason you want to change your selection or winning margin as the tournament progresses, just post it up here and I'll give it a "like" meaning I've taken the change on board. Of course, it goes without saying, no changes will be accepted during the course of an actual live match.

Due to time differences - I'll try and get the Leader Board up asap. Might be a bit of a delay (a few hours) but I'll keep you all regularly updated.


Scoring:

25 points for picking correct winning team
20 points for picking correct winning margin (N,C,E,or T)
75 points for correct pick tied result (D) ... if the match is tied before they go into Super Overs... regardless of the end Result.
12 points for one rung off winning margin
0 points for more than one rung off winning margin but you still get 25 points for the win.
0 points for a 'No Result'.

Double points for nominated *Golden Matches* (GM) for one match in each 'block' of 15 matches.

One GM for Matches 1 - 15
One GM for Matches 16 - 30
One GM for Matches 31 - 45

The 2 Semi Finals and the Final are also worth double points.

Except JD doesn't send me CricCoin to ensure he stays in the lead. He's done it all off his own bat in a fair and sporting manner.

Or do you JD? I forgot my password. Haven't checked the crypto account for a while.

All GMs from now on... both Semis and the Final

Just JD and Guildford to go. Well, well, well....

You can both do a private ballot if you want... just PM me your picks so as to avoid a Mexican stand-off.
If you both do it that way, I won't post your selections on here... so therefore no 'adjustments' can be made.

Otherwise, just go bold and naked like the rest of us.

Sorry to keep you waiting!
India to win:E.
SA to win: E.
Thanks again.

India E

Cheers PJ!

Congrats JD

Conclusive win and just the victory lap to come ...

Thanks for running another great comp , PJ

... and to try and stay off the bottom of the heap -and not to hex the Aussies

India C

Cheers for running it PJ, great effort as always. I won’t mention that the gap from first to second is bigger than the gap from second to tenth…

Final - Ind vs Aus - D

Final - India E

(But hoping it's at least narrow between the two)

Well done JD.

Miles in front of the pack from Match 16 although Guildford got within a point of you in Match 29... before you pulled away again.

You're such a good sport going for the D.
