The deadline for entries has passed and you can see them at http://goo.gl/IFGjE.

I will update this page during the competition based on the current standings, with the first update when the Open has completed the group round-robin qualifier. Forum members make up just over one half of the entries so a mild favourite to deliver the winner.

Some statistics from the entries.

OPEN
32 votes - Italy
27 Monaco
22 Netherlands
7 Poland

WOMEN
31 France
26 England
23 Netherlands
8 Sweden

SENIORS

15 France
12 Italy

Favourites to finish in the top SIX places earning a trip to BALI
OPEN

Wisdom of the crowd entry pls (I guess just give teams points assuming they finish exactly like they were voted on?).
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Also I seem to be the only one who put france in the top 6 in open. DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHO THOMAS BESSIS IS, #1 PLAYER ON THE PLANET?!


I'm surprised that nobody has put Spain in the top 6. Do you guys know who Fluffy is?

France started very strongly, but despite fielding the "#1 PLAYER ON THE PLANET" in the last match today France seems to have lost it 25-5 to Wales. The adverse swings do not seem particularly unlucky either.

Isn't that good for me? Don't results vs bottom teams get thrown out or lessened or something?

Obv I had Wales as #2 anyways.

Only results from qualifying teams carry to the final rankings. Wales are currently 7th in the group, whether they qualify or not will have a big bearing on France.

And coincidently Wales was one of the teams in the tie-break for the last qualifying place in the same group last time. With the same line up they will be looking to make the second round.

Yay! - England v France this afternoon must be match of the millennium with the best player of all time potentially due to play against #1 PLAYER ON THE PLANET. And it'll be on vugraph so I won't feel compelled to F5 their score card every 30 seconds whilst kibtizing lesser known players like those guys who play for Monaco or Italy. ;)


Thanks paulg for the bbo message yesterday. :)
