George, wez and I both squeezed onto the runners-up podium together for this one, and he's too much of a gent (allegedly) to come in here kicking and screaming to let you know. >>> same medalists as the previous one: well done ladies, and lad! remarkable, anyone know the odds of that happening? <<< They always say that the ones who do well in snooker show signs of a misspent youth.

not sure this the right place
but is there a record for a person who has not won a place on the hall of flame in a certain number of comps?
Basically, i dont think i have tipped enough but i have never got a hall of fame in any comp and played quite a few...who holds the longest stretech for not winning a podium place?
sorry if its not the right place for this...

I don't think anyone's kept stats on that, but if you were on that list, you ain't no more!
These players were added to the Hall of Fame:
Super 12s: 1st: ASA
2nd: ElfTwinkle, doomed, gtho4, Copago
3rd: A four-way dead-heat equals the record set for the NFL last year, when 4 players dead-heated for 3rd.
===[ edit to add ]===
wooden cutlery set passes to doomed, who score a big fat 0/8 in Round 5 of the F1 GP (had 3 picks, none of them finished in the top 8 positions, not one!).

Three more additions to the Hall of Fame: FA Premier League
1st : Sypher 2nd : Copago 3rd : manvinder01 Congratulations to all three players, and a special welcome to manvinder01, his debut appearance!
As this is Sypher's 2nd win in a row in this comp, the 04-05 comp will have a handicap system: Sypher will start on -10 pts. However, this handicap will be waived for this life-long Spurs supporter if he buys an Arsenal jersey, sits outside his place for half an hour (on any day of his choosing, but it must be during daylight hours), and recites this poem every 5 minutes: "We are the Champions!"

Ouch! Go for the minus points, Syph. It's far less embarrassing...and you wouldn't keep waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat reliving the memory.
