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.

Final - Ind vs Aus - D

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.

Also good tactics. the only thing that can put a sizeable dent in his victory margin is a double point scoring draw, unless he matches it!

Final - India Comfortable please

Thanks PJ for your efforts running it

November 19 - India E

India C

That's if I can switch the prediction for the final after I made one alongside my wrong SF efforts!

Cheers as always for running things PJ.

India E for me, thanks.
