NJ2 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Why not go with how many times their guess has come 4th? If that’s also a tie then we should go with the widely used tradition of reverse alphabetical order.Because I didn’t think of that...I’ll announce a result and show my working as to who wins the playoff when I have all the answers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I’LL DECIDE. I may have gone mad with power. Anyway, forget this playoff pish. It’s QWC2018 Final day! The result will be announced 12:00 (or there about) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Right, so the apparently highly controversial playoff question was who has finished 4th at the World Cup most often. The Prem playoff seen the leader Cardi take on recently rebranded Tynierose (same club?). The cardinal went with Brazil in 1962 (which I suspect was a guess and haven’t bothered to check if it’s right) and 2014. Tynie went with England in 1990 and 2018. The SWL playoff was between Ziggy and Wastecoatwilly. Ziggy also went with Brazil and covered his bases with guessing every World Cup ever, even the ones they won. Wastecoatwilly plumped for Germany and didn’t bother guessing years for bonus points such was confidence, I assume. The correct answer, of course, was Uruguay. Coming 4th on three occasions - 1954, 1970 & 2010. So Cardi and Ziggy get the nod based on being geographically closest to the correct answer. Thems the breaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to be pedantic but Brazil won it in 62. My team were 4th twice, the Cardinal's only one.

NJ2 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Anyway, enough of the mundane league shite, it’s time...THE QWC2018 FINAL!I think on the whole it’s been better than that carry on in Russia. The final was between AFJ’s charges Ellan Vannin and Salvo’s Poland. Both a credit to themselves and their countries. The final of course was out of 20 and both teams had very strong performances. In the end there was only one goal separating the sides and not many chances missed. ELLAN VANNIN 19 v 18 Poland. AFJ is the champion. Ellan Vannin are QWC2018 winners. A joyous day for the self governing whatever they are actually are. Well done and thanks to all. I’m off to lie down in a dark room, see you in 4 years. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Cardi and Tynie are trying too hard to act like they hate each other. Angry make-up sex imminent, IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort it out boss man. If folk know they will have no access until later in the week they should specify this at the start of the week? You are right. Plus, the quiz thread is at its best if you can reply most days. I won't be able to do that over the next month or so due to various work and family commitments so will take a break and see if I am granted a license to start again in the Seaside League come September... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Chuffed to feck with the Mhanks Manx World Cup win, and no dodgy free kicks or penalties in sight, unlike the real thing. Monday brought a 9/10 and feck the inaugural VFL competition season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
