*** Dizart was the only one giving him some competition, winning 13 medals in all, including 5 gold...his personal best ever! paper_aero is the only other person to win more than 10 medals during the year, 6 of them silver.

*** We didn't add any new medallist in 2019 and once again only 17 people finished on the podium in 2019, same as in 2018 (it was 19 in 2017, 23 in 2016, 22 in 2015, 20 in 2014, 21 in 2013, and 23 each in 2012 and 2011).

RECORD BOOK
  • spoonless streak -- 56 wks FLC -- by N-Bomb from wk 36 of 2018-19 (10) and all of 2019-20 season (46).
  • consecutive wks as leader -- 27 wks FAPL -- by N-Bomb from week 12 to week 38 season end.
  • consecutive weeks as leader -- 14 wks Super 15s -- and another one by N-Bomb from week 1 all the way to the end, aka the entire season!
  • consecutive wooden spoons -- 5 -- NBA -- by ozzz2002 from week 6 to week 10.
  • consecutive weekly wins -- 5 -- Super 15s -- by Howie72 week 8 to week 12.
  • consecutive weekly wins -- 4 -- A-League -- by Howie72 week 11 to week 14.
  • consecutive weekly wins -- 4 -- A-League -- by paper_aero week 11 to week 14.
  • perfect pick or near miss -- 15/16 FA Cup R5 -- by ozzz2002. This is an all-time record for any comp and will probably remain unbroken for ages. With three results for each game (H-x-A) he picked 15/16 at odds of 1.34m to one! There are 43,046,721 ways of picking the 16 games and only 32 of them will give you 15/16. The odds of a perfect pick 16/16 in this comp are 43.04m to one.
The FunTrivia HoF has been updated for the above medals and records.
  • our Canadian cousin, LeoDaVinci, won his first-ever gold medal in the NHL comp. His previous podium finish was bronze ten years ago, in the 2009-10 comp.
  • he also won his first-ever gold medal in the FLC comp, in his first-ever podium finish.
  • N-Bomb won gold in 4 of the 9 comps .. and he was defending titleholder in 6 of those 9 comps!
  • but wait, there's more .. in the FAPL he's won 5 of the last 7 comps, in the FT-PL he's won 4 of the last 6 comps and, after 17 years of UEFA CL comps, he became the first-ever player to win the UEFA CL as defending titleholder!
  • srini701 has finished on the podium in three of the last 4 NBA comps .. two of them were gold (and the other bronze).
  • paper_aero finished on the podium in 5 of the 9 comps (same as N-Bomb) and Dizart was on the podium in 3 of the 9 (same as LeoDaVinci).
  • the FLC comp will be archived after 14 seasons, unless someone volunteers to run it. I won't be running it as it requires far too much time .. 14 seasons was a good innings. Please note that, at 46 rounds, it's the longest comp in here and, if you do volunteer, you need to keep this in mind viz. putting together 46 rounds of tipping threads with 12 games = 552 lines of fixtures, plus x46 results posts.

*** LeoDaVinci also had a fruitful year, winning 4 gold and 8 medals in all. Howie72, paper_aero and Dizart all won medals in over 1/3rd of the events held in 2020.

*** Two new medallist in 2020 among the 15 who won medals. Daanieeel won a gold in NFL to go with the bronze he won in World Cricket 2019-20, while Llynfi won a silver medal in the Australian Open women's section.

A couple of streaks for consecutive weeks (42 or more weeks) without a wooden spoon in AFL have ended.

1) N-Bomb ends at 49 weeks which comprises rounds 18-23 of 2018, all 23 of 2019, all 18 of 2020 and 1-2 of 2021.

2) LeoDaVinci ends at 42 weeks which comprises rounds 2-23 of 2019, all 18 of 2020 and 1-10 of 2021. This makes 50 weeks less 8 where he did not tip during this streak so equals 42.

********************************************
*** Some semblance of normality in 2021 as we managed to have 31 events this year, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. All the tennis Grand Slams were held as were the 3 major derbies. As the year ends with the new Corona variant Omicron spreading fast, here's hoping 2022 will not be affected much and that we have heard the last of this pandemic.

*** After a stupendous 7 consecutive years at the top of the pile, N-Bomb DID NOT finish first in 2021 shocked This has to be our biggest news here. srini701 takes top spot for the first time in more than a decade! The last time srini701 was top in our year-end standings, Rafael Nadal was winning three slams a year and New Orleans Saints was winning their first ever Superbowl!

*** Dizart also had a very good year, winning 5 gold and 9 medals in all. The top 4 of our medallists won 43 of the total 93 medals given out in 2021!

*** We added only 1 new medallist in 2021 among the 16 who won medals. andymuenz makes his debut with a bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics, while 2020's newcomer Llynfi found himself on the podium 3 more times in 2021.

list updated December 24, 2021

***Last year I had written "N-Bomb is set to replace gtho4 at the top for the first time since FT tipping comps were launched." But the old warhorse has managed to stave off the Kiwi for one more year! No changes in our top 5 from 2020 though paper_aero now moves into sixth place, and Howie72 now has the second highest number of medals overall.

***Among active players in our comps, dg_dave has finished out of the standings for a second consecutive year, while toocool4u failed to win anything in 2021 after finishing on podium in 2020. yoyoandcigs and 22crows make a return to the medal winners list after a short break. Here's hoping more winners make a return in 2022 smile smile

**** The 16 people finishing on podiums in 2021 have been listed in bold in the above table.

The FunTrivia HoF has been updated for the above medals and records.
  • andymeunz won his first-ever medal.
  • Fifiona81 was the only winner as the defending titleholder. Her three-peat is now a four-peat, the second-ever at FT. The first four-peat was in 2002-03-04-05 by gtho4 in the AFL comp. In fact she has won 6 of the last 7 F1GP comps .. and will surely continue this streak with the first-ever five-peat in 2022.
  • his win in the Melbourne Cup saw srini701 became the first-ever winner of the FT Triple Crown. Dozens and dozens have tried over the last 18 years, since the first FT horse race in 2003, but all failed. The previous best effort was by 22crows in 2014, with wins in the first two legs, the Grand National and the Kentucky Derby.
  • Fifiona81 and Dizart were the only multiple-gold medallists. They each won two gold.
  • gtho4 finished on the podium in five of the 11 comps, followed by Howie72, LeoDaVinci and N-Bomb with four each.
