World Cup 2010 : Group Stage – Update

Hola!

8 games to go and still all up for grabs….

Ben Hogwood continues to lead and he still has his (unfancied) team in the competition – Olly O had a great “Last 16” and moves into 2nd with the impressive Will O nicely placed in 3rd.

Tony B moves ominously into 4th – an unprecedented League & Word Cup double on the cards?

Josh H continues his fine league form moving to just off the prizes and Jazz S is hovering about looking to add even more money to his PAS coffers…

At the other end, Martin S is having a battle royale with Mr 2-0 for the wooden spoon!

Cheers,
Pab


World Cup 2010 : World Cup Latest…

PASers,
Apologies for the fragmented communication thus far – I think we’ve cracked it now, so with a break in playing days I can keep you up to speed in a fashion you’re used to!

Attached is the latest table – please note the “goals” tally inclues all goals to date (up to Jun 28) not just for the group stage.

I’ll have a “Last 16” table for you tomorrow plus the QF scoresheet (so be prepared to get your scores in!)

Good stuff so far with all to play for – our very own Black Star, Will O leads the way for players without a ’team’ in 5th, the missus continues to thrive on 30 second score predictions and Savan A could be the one to watch as the Argies charge their way through the competition.

Oli P is having a fine debut (sorry about the scoresheet mix up mate!), our two U10s are in the Top 30, their dad isn’t quite taking advantage of Holland’s goals and Rob H has yet to send a scoresheet in despite having Brazil!

Yours truly had a brief respite climbing to the heady heights of 34th with my only consolation seeing Mr 2-0 rock bottom!

Cheers & forca Portugal!
Pab


World Cup 2010 : Last 16 – Update…

Peeps,
The last 16 stage kicks off tomorrow at 3pm but I won’t know all the final fixtures until 10pm tonight, sooooooooooooooo…

If I remember after my party tonight (and if I can actually see!) I’ll send the scoresheet in the early hours OR when I get up with a horrendous hangover, I’ll send it then.

All in all, you basically have to be aware that you’ll have to access your email tomorrow to do your scores! and all by 14.59.

Cheers,
Pab

Spring Cup 2010 : Final -Result

Hola!
This year’s Cup winner is Mark Seels who won thrilling Final by 1 point from Shaun Backhouse – congrats Seelsy, that’s £100 coming your way and Shaun I’m sure won’t be too disappointed collecting £50 for his gallant efforts. That brings another domestic season to a close and I hope to see you all back in September. Meanwhile…

PAS World Cup latest!

I’ve not heard from any of the Top 32 saying they’re not playing so please get your £10 in asap please. We’ve got a few non Top 32 confirmed (and some newcomers!) – anyone else fancy it? £15 for a WHOLE tournament – bargain!

Thanks to all those who have paid up already – the draw for “teams” has taken place and confirmation of who drew who will be revealed when the first scoresheet is sent over on June 1st.

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Spring 2010 : Week 13 – Table News…

Champ!:
You have to say it’s been a phenomenal performance to stay top for 13 consecutive weeks (a feat even the great Jazz Sian can’t claim!) and never a more worthy winner – Tony Bowley 393 (59). Take a boo son! Tony had a 25 point lead over Josh Hirst in second place, who is our youngest Top Ten finisher ever (just 9 years old!) – let’s hope his homework didn’t suffer as a result but at least he’ll have enough money to pay someone to do it for him next season… The ever present Jazz Sian finishes 4 points behind in third place and 4 points above Jamie Sellers in fourth spot. Neil Templeton will be able to spoil his baby daughter with a pressie by finishing 5th two points ahead of Mark De-Ste-Croix who had a fine season, in 6th. Martin Stafford ended up in seventh place (securing some World Cup betting funds!) 1 point above Andrew Darbyshire (good luck with your interview at the Guardian on Thursday!) in eighth, who in turn finishes 1 point above our resident music reviewer Ben Hogwood in ninth (and he’ll be celebrating Norwich’s return to the big time!). El Presidente finishes in 10th place (hurray, that’ll pay Frankie’s entry fee!) and nets the last of the “big prizes”
Chump!:
You have to say he’s been consistent; Howard Thomas takes the wooden spoon this season after a battle royale with my daughter to avoid the humiliation of last place! Let’s hope Palace get that draw to give you a cheery end to the season mate!
Spot Prizers:
OK, you have finished on these positions and you HAVE won these prizes! Jason M on 11th, Olly O on 12th, Jamie T on 13th, Matt G on 17th, Michelle F on 23rd, Dan P on 27th, Andy C on 33rd, Julian F on 39th, Gary B on 42nd, Clare T on 50th, Matt W on 54th and Francesca F on 55th.
PAS World Cup 2010:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS World Cup 2010 you had to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Sneaking the last spot…Neil Meredith.
And Another Thing:
the other little bits…

Tony Bowley picked up an additional £9 for getting the Best Weekly Score of the Season 50(9)

Mark Seels and Shaun Backhouse meet in the PAS Cup Final on May 15 – 22 (don’t worry, you will be kept up-to-date!)

Thanks to the three successful BotWers not least for providing my little girl with £23.50!, Thanks again to all for taking time and bothering to enter – and a final big thankyou to Dave N for providing all the behind the scenes techky stuff to enable another great season (let’s hope the imminent arrival of Kid A doesn’t knacker him out too much for next season…).

We’ll see the Top 32 in June for the PAS World Cup and the rest of you (that don’t want to play the World Cup) in September – remember, spread the word and get all your mates involved for next season!

Cheers,
Pab
