Grand Prix Predictions Game 2014-2015 Round 4 Rostelecom Cup

[SashaJuliaSpins]

ICE DANCE results.

After all the drama that happened at CoR, I'm ready to announce winners of the predictions Ice dance event.

First of all, I'm glad that there were 96 eligible Ice Dance predictions (after 80 at SA, 88 at SC and 94 at CoC). The scoresheet is getting bigger with each event, so more work for the scorers. But I don't minde, honestly.
The event was absolutely unpredictable with two new russian teams skating in front of russian crowd. So we don't have perfect scores this time. But some people were really close to getting 75 points, they just needed to switch 2 teams in their Top 5.

Our winners are:
1st place: Totentanz, HanDomi, malif, aero, Mentalopes and cjuarez - 65 points. Congratulations!
2nd place: gallavich , SashaJuliaSpins , el henry and invisiblespiral - 60 points. Nice job!
3rd place: YesWay, tulosai, GF2445, bellflower, HR4, lightsout, Lydia1703, mis751, cleo2070, enlight78 and lost3iron - 55 points! Congratulations!

Okay, that's all. Congratulations to all the winners again. :dance:

I got a medal?! I got my own medal!!!

In figure skating terms: I think I peaked back in Skate Canada.

Don't worry Sandpiper, you'll get your second wind...soon!

 

[Alba]

I'm a complete loser.

 

[alebi]

This game is like a roller-coaster: last week I did the best score, this time I did my second.. worst score ever! YEAH :dance:
It's the beauty of this game but, first of all, it's the beauty of figure skating
Till now the easiest event to predict is PAIRS (last year it was definitely DANCE)

 

[cleo2070]

Oh wow! Guess I'd better enjoy this while it lasts and here's a 'thank you!' to everyone for making this such a fun game

Hey everyone,

The new prediction threads for Trophee Bompard and NHK Trophy are up in their respective event subforums.

In the meanwhile, I hope we can wrap up the scoring today.

 

[Mrs. P]

THE MEN!!

Well, what can I say. Not a great week for scores. That said, the silver lining is that our winners shine even more!!

GOLD: gravy (60) -- Four out of 5 predictions right! Impressive.
SILVER: CaroLiza_fan (55) -- Got the podium correct!
BRONZE: Eclair (50) -- 2/3 on the podium and close on Brown and Kouzka placements.

After 4 events, we have a lot of ties. So battle on to Trophee Bompard:

1st: Totentanz, snowflake, Sam-Skwantch, lightsout, HR4,gallavich, 176 points!
2nd: Mentalopes, CaroLiza_fan, 170 points!
3rd: StitchMonkey, Pippuripihvi, guenever, el henry, Eclair, 165 points!
4th: WoChair, semosk8fan, [email protected], Poice,katmari, FSGMT, FIREBIRD, demarnis5,darazam, Danja, 160 points!

Still waiting on the pairs results (and obviously overall round results), hope to get those to you shortly.

WOW!!!!! I think that's the first time I've ever got a medal!!!

And with the way things have been going so badly for me in the Game as a whole, I am finding it hard to believe that I am currently on any of the overall podia!

You sure you've counted right...?!

Just one thing I should point out. You've accidentally said in your summary that the leaders in the overall Men's Game have 170 points (i.e. the same as me and Mentalopes). They actually have 175.

But, well done to everybody who is doing well in the Prediction's Game as a whole. As I said in another thread, this season's GP Series must be the most unpredictable ever!

[satine]

I think I should have 40 for men, not 35, right? Sorry for being a nitpick

 

[Totentanz]

Wow I've got a small gold medal for Ice dance at COR :yay:

And leading for total scores of Men :shocked:

 

[WeakAnkles]

I'm still in the Top 25! Considering my great uncle, who was a Romanian gypsy and read my palm, once told me, "You might as well just burn your money than gamble. You have no luck that way," I feel like this is a Pom Pom worthy moment and I'm enjoying it before the next scores get posted and I wind up in 71st place!

Can you do me a favor? Can you send me a PM and tell me what page your predictions post is located? I'll check it when I have a chance.

I just made it 667 (unless someone has beaten me to it), because I oppose evil in ALL forms! Even cyber ones! Bwahahahahahaha!

Ooh--a bronze. And 5 points away from top 20. Woohoo!

 

[alebi]

O M G I got a bronze in this round after an indecent ladies prediction, a disastrous men prediction and an inadequate dance prediction... I'm going to light a candle for the pairs
and second overall... that was really unimaginable wow

Thank you so much for your hard work guys, I think when the results are so messy it's even more difficult to count

Thanks Mrs. P. Why you scored pairs this time? I hope everything okay.

And 60 points behind the leader? Too much. I guess I can hope for Top 10 overall at best :yes:

 

[semosk8tfan]

That was a rough outing for skaters and players! Thanks again to the scorers for making this frustrating but fun game possible.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Congratulations!

And I'm only 30 points of of 24th.... why didn't I predict pairs at SA....
