As there is no KO match for european cup, Italy always knows how to get 25 VP from some small countries. My guess is

Open
1 Italy
2 Monaco
3 Netherlands
4 Israel
5 Iceland
6 Poland

Women
1. France
2. England
3. Netherlands
4. Italy
5. Poland
6. Germany

Seniors
1. Poland
2. France
3. Italy
4. England
5. Germany
6. Denmark

......but if the small countries you mention do not make it to the second stage, Italy's results against them do not count in the final ranking.

Can you be convinced to change the point system? It is really out of whack, but maybe that was intended.

Probably.

I have decided to change the scoring system to the one used by Formula 1 when they last gave points to the top six drivers.

First place = 10 points
Second place = 6 points
Third place = 4 points
Fourth place = 3 points
Fifth place = 2 points
Sixth place = 1 point

for a maximum of 78 points.

If anyone wishes to change their entry then please pm me.

If there is a tie, I suggest willingness to come or move to Edinburgh in order to pick up the prize as a tie-breaker :P
(And of course I commend the change in scoring which increases the likelihood of ties.)

Here's another one I'll put money on: German Seniors will place at least 2 ranks above German Ladies (i.e. if Germany Ladies are 5th, German Seniors will be 3rd or better). Message me if interested.

I put them 6th but I put the seniors 4th at least. I honestly have no idea who the 6th womens team should be. Most seem to be going Italy but they seem pretty meh. I guess I'll change off of germany if all the germans are saying so lol
