DETTY29 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 So how did people decide? - only ever going to vote maroon - studied the individual games - thought the lower the league, the shittier the defending so more goals - toss of a coin. I saw the initial sway the of maroon votes, had a hunch maroon was no way certain so went for white and a smaller number in to next round if white came in.

I saw the initial sway the of maroon votes, had a hunch maroon was no way certain so went for white and a smaller number in to next round if white came in. I looked at the previous results for the season in both leagues, saw that league 2 had had more goals so far and decided to just go with that, then forgot that maroon was for League 2 and not league 1, so put the wrong thing down and got lucky!

Paolo Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I chose the highly reliable scientific route, i copied the poster before me, cheers Claudia I went on the basis that a draw would mean white would win, as there was not a huge difference in the goals in the leagues.

Ulysses Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Second elimination round challenge This challenge is only open to the 88 players who progressed from the first round. Europe and the United States of America compete for the Ryder Cup this weekend, and the singles matches are scheduled to be played on Sunday, 28 September. Here's the challenge: Maroon: Europe will win more points than the USA in the singles matches. White: Europe will NOT win more points than the USA in the singles matches. Notes: There are 12 singles games scheduled to be played. The challenge applies to all singles games that are completed and count towards the final score in the match, irrespective of when they are played. For the avoidance of doubt, if Europe win more points from the singles than the USA, Maroon will win. If the teams are tied or the USA win more points from the singles, White will win. Choose Maroon or White and post on this thread. The deadline for entries is Friday, 26 September at 9 pm UK time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
