Tipsters League - THE FINAL TABLE - WINNER ANNOUNCED!
 
Hello everyone and welcome to the 4th annual tipsters league results!

The Creme de la Creme have joined us here tonight in the TPWW arena to hear these results, which have quite literally been a year in the making, I'd like to thank myself and of course my partner in crime Tornado and (to a much lesser extend, but if I don't mention it he'll bitch about the Armageddon thread) of course Cockscrewed........i mean Corckscrewed.

So with over 40 original entrants and many MANY disputes over the points system with regards to last minute changes and how we the markers deem the points should be given, we have finally come to this historic moment in TPWW's history.

And the winner is...........


*opens envelope*

Oh Shit!



















































TORNADO!

















Unfortunately Tornado can't be with us as it's reported he's now decided to retire on top and has since moved to Mexico with a huge briefcase filled with un-marked bills.


Here's the final table:

  1. Tornado 965
  2. The Answer 940
  3. Gohan3k 940
  4. Eunos 930
  5. CYCLOPTERSAURIS 920
  6. Gouda 910
  7. Innovator 895
  8. Loopydate 890
  9. Corkscrewed 885
  10. What Would Kevin Do? 865
  11. Big Vito 22 850
  12. JamesSteele 795
  13. legendkiller 770
  14. Hired Hitman 770
  15. King Jericho 750
  16. NoJabbaNoBogRoll 745
  17. Mike The Metal Ed 735
  18. Dave Youell 730
  19. Superslim 635
  20. Alienoid 580
  21. Savior 575
  22. Scarface 560
  23. Shaggy 485
  24. NerF 435
  25. John La Rock 390
  26. Gertner 380
  27. Hardkore Kidd J 370
  28. MVP 315
  29. Jonster 275
  30. Helmsphere 260
  31. EcKo 03 ComPleX 220
  32. The Cerebral Assassin 135
  33. Kapoutman 125
  34. Splaya 70
  35. Heyman 30





Now this is really REALLY bad timing after Corcky's TPWW xmas bash thread in which he makes out that we cheated, I swear to god this is how it turned out! Tornado got a perfect on the last PPV and that got him to the finish line.

Now please don't send me mail bombs over this, I know it looks bad, Tornado was due to do this as the last PPV was his to report on, but seeing how close he was to the top I thought I'd do it, to be impartial.

Well folks, there you have, if you can find it in your hearts, please congratulate Tornado in his success. And a rep for me wouldn't go a miss either, we don't get paid for this!

The new sign up thread will be up within the next week for all you newbs, so keep an out

Dave out! (to join Tornado in Mexico :shifty: )

What are the requirements to be a in the Tipsters League?

Innovator 12-20-2005 12:32 PM
dammit. Hanging around the top but can't reach the big one. Now I know how Benoit felt

Corkscrewed 12-20-2005 02:20 PM
I told you they rigged it. :lol:

Congratulations, Mr. Cyclonic Brit. I'll get you next year!!! :D



Also, in all non-bitching seriousness, I'd like to propose two suggestions for next year:

1. Come up with a completely consistent scoring system. I only say that because at the beginning of this year, you guys scored the "winning move" as an additional five points, but later dropped that. I actually kinda like that feature, because it makes perfect scores practically impossible to get and thus incredible to get. And given the predictability of some of the PPV's we've had this year, it would add a wild card element. :)

2. Drop the lowest (and highest if you want to be fair) scores from the total. Yes, this would complicate your lives, but the idea is that this would allow people the luxury of missing a PPV, in case stuff happens. That way, we're not pressured to always remember all 49 PPV's they hold.

Anyway, just suggestions. You can take them, or leave them, but I wanted to thank you two for actually following through with this all year and not copping out.

:)

Corkscrewed 12-20-2005 03:19 PM

All suggestions for the 2006 League are more than welcome. I totally agree with your point on consistancy, we'll probably have three catgories for each match now, Winner/Method/Deciding Move.
We'll also be doing bonus predictions for the Royal Rumble the same as last year, like the last four, and the random pick. Me and Dave need to have a chat sometime soon to finalize the details and decide on entry criteria, and I want to make everything a bit more consistant for 2006. We'll definalty have a sign up thread going before Christmas.

What Would Kevin Do? 12-21-2005 01:04 AM
Congrats Tornado. I broke the top ten, so I'm happy.

Now dumb question . Did you guys include the end of the year champion picks in the finals?

CYCLOPTERSAURUS 12-21-2005 03:59 AM
Hmm, 5th. Better than I thought I'd do.

Good job folks. Is this the first time we've actually finished a tipsters? Kudos for posting all (well, you missed the last one, but somebody else covered it) of the PPVs.

Azriel 12-21-2005 04:05 AM
I think I'll go in on this for the next time

If it's like last years, you have to have at least 500 posts, and you must sign up before the first ppv. That, and I think we need a special "No retards" rule.

Eunos 12-21-2005 04:22 AM
Godammit i slipped up at the end :(

Dave Youell 12-21-2005 05:06 AM
Gonna be the 500 post rule

Maybe a 6 month min. stint on the site

And of course your name cannot include the following words:

Joey, Radd, Extreme, Angle, kinglacostawhatver

Dave Youell 12-21-2005 05:08 AM
I work on this shit all year and all I get is 4 reps? 4 FUCKING REPS! Tornado was one of them!

you guys suck :foc:

LK 12-21-2005 05:10 AM
Ah well there's always next year for myself.

LK 12-21-2005 05:11 AM
Oh and there you go Dave.

FourFifty 12-21-2005 05:18 AM
In that case where can I sign up, if the tipsters are taking new people?

Tornado 12-21-2005 05:40 AM
We'll get the thread up soo, and try to have it stickied, the deadline will be New Years Day/Eve

V 12-21-2005 05:49 AM

King Jericho 12-21-2005 08:19 AM

I was kind of wondering this myself - particularly since I had thought it would be counted up at the end of the year (since titles could change between now and then, even if it's not on PPV).

ddpBANG 12-22-2005 03:31 AM
Congrats Tornado. I'm hoping to up my post count and see you all next year.

Tornado 12-22-2005 09:36 AM
I've looked back at the Champions Predictions thing, and as things stand, the maximum anyone would be scoring from that is 20 points, and most people have Cena and Trish down for a belt, so unless something major happens, it won't make any difference.
