Halloween Special - Guess The Group

Post by vizIIsto » Tue Oct 27, 2020 2:53 pm

This is how it works:

I've picked a random group from the history of the Championship League Darts, which was held from 2008 to 2013, assigned the players in that group a fictional name, and mixed the actual schedule while keeping all the results the same. You need to try and score as many points, either by finding the group I picked or by great guessing skills. The scoring is very similar to Safc's usual competitions.
Wait... a prize? Hmm. Perhaps I can give you a bigger chance at winning a prize in one of Safc's competitions by telling them I'll give the prize to you if I win something... or just play for fun.

Here's the lineup:
ITV4
Pragosport
PDCTV-HD
Sky Sports
DAZN
Sport1
BBC Sport
RTL 7


Scoring:
10 points exact result
5 points correct winner
10 points Winner
5 points Runner-Up
5 points Group Winner Bonus

After this round I'll have a league table in my opening post.

Here comes Ginge again :laughing:
Anyways I just put this out there, I'll see if anybody wants to play this. We had a fantasy league a while back where the results were randomized and people liked that. This is pretty similar except you don't know the players but the results are real.
The idea of this on the site I played this on once was either to discover what the league was or to just be a great guesser based on the results you've already seen.
If no one wants to play this I'm okay with that. I'll be able to categorize this under my collection of 'failed attempts by viz to become a more likable person on TDF'.

I understand it but don't see the point.
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

For Randall (and Emulsfier and a bunch of others)
I picked a group from the history of the Championship League Darts. I gave the players fake names but the results are still real / the same. Before each round of results you need to guess the result based on previous results, figuring out what the group was or just pure luck. Successful predictions score points. Whoever scores the most points wins.

I think it's like the board game Cluedo where you keep guessing wrong until the possibilities narrow and you end up working it out. Who enjoyed Cluedo?
