Two comps finished during the week, and three more are finishing this weekend .. a medals ceremony x5 will be held next week!

Multiple updates; another batch of inductees:




Additions to the Record Book:




Notable performances:

• the streaks of wez and oleg_mcnoleg have been exceeded only once in the 5 year history of tipping comps at FT .. by Copago back in 2001-02. Gentleman, take a bow!
  
• the consecutive streaks by gtho4 and silverginger are one below the all-time record for each (being 5 weeks straight).
  
• kaushik_twin makes his first appearance in the Hall of Fame, and it's a gold medal performance!
  
• oleg_mcnoleg makes his 6th appearance in the HoF, and for buckley it's his 3rd .. but it's a gold medal this time, it's their first!
  
• LeoDaVinci makes his 2nd appearance in the Hall of Fame, Blinkybill her 4th, Moo her 4th, for ozzz2002 it's number 16, it's number 37 for Sypher, and 46 for gtho4 .. these numbers mean something, but don't ask me what! lol
  

oops, forgot one:

Snooker Internationals

1st : ElfTwinkle
2nd : gtho4
1st : wez

That's medal number 38 for ElfTwinkle, and 17 for wez!

They mean a loss of productivity for our respective employers..

Nice work, mate!

We have employers ?

We used to have....

Perhaps Ladbrokes might have a group discount?

Another set of inductees:




See that silver medal for treble99 .. it's her debut appearance!

Another set of inductees:




LeoDaVinci doubles his appearances from 2 (two bronze) to 4 .. which means that silver medal is his first!

Special mention:
JuniorTheJaws failed to pick any of the 8 quarter-finalists in the Men's Singles .. this may be a first!

0/7 in the NRL .. another Golden Wood for JuniorTheJaws!

Gee, thanks George for the friendly reminder. Lol! I was trying to forget about it.

This week's medals ceremony, and another set of inductees:




That's the 6th podium finish for LeoDaVinci, and it's his first gold medal!
Moo makes her 5th appearance on the podium, and collects her 2nd gold medal.
It's also podium finish number 5 for Blinkybill and Sarah606.
Sarah606 collects her 4th silver .. will her next one be her first gold?

Updated for completion of Twenty20 Cup.

Placegetters: gtho4, ozzz2002 & ElfTwinkle.

Congratulations to Sypher, who collected a Golden Wood with 0/7 in the NRL.

mate, one more this week and you can join Davjack; the first and only player to achieve Platinum Wood status!

In great British tradition....one word to sum it all - Bullocks !!

Updated for completion of this year's AFL comp:

Placegetters: gtho4, Copago, Sypher

This one slipped though to the 'keeper:

Record Book updated for the 7 consecutive wooden spoons
scored by Copago in the AFL tipping comp for 2002.

That's way in front of next best with 5 spoons on the trot, being JuniorTheJaws in last year's NRL comp, and last season's FT-PL (which finshed 3 months ago in May).

Gosh, thanks for picking that up. I shall call you Adam Gilchrist from now on.

Another set of inductees:



This is Eraserhead's second induction into the HoF. His debut appearance was 2nd place in last year's NRL comp, when he dead-heated with ElfTwinkle and wez. That's 2 for 2, both silver!

See those two gold medals for Nannanut .. they're her 2nd and 3rd appearance; gold and gold! Her debut appearance was 3rd place in last year's Bathurst 1000.

And the beat goes on; another set of inductees:




ElfTwinkle and Leo Davinci were medallists in both events; Moo and gtho4 were caught in the cross-fire!

Additions to the Record Book:

Consecutive weeks as leader 21 : Sypher : Nascar, weeks 6-26 12 : PaulE` : NCL, weeks 5-16

.

The 21 week streak streak by Sypher ranks at the 4th longest ever;
behind Copago (39), wez (32), and oleg_mcnoleg (23).

Two more comps have finished:



This is PaulE's second gold medal performance, both of them in the same comp. Last year's medallists in the NCL were PaulE, ElfTwinkle, and gtho4/wez .. almost the same as this year's!

Another comp's been, and gone:

Major League Baseball

1st : dg_dave
2nd : ozzz2002
3rd : PaulE

PaulE and ozzz2002 swapped positions on the podium .. last year's winners were wez, PaulE and ozzz2002.

Congrats all 'round, and a special mention for young dg_dave, who's one from one. This is his first appearance in the HoF!

Yet another comp's been, and gone. Defending F1GP title-holder Sypher was pushed down to 2nd place .. last year's winners were Sypher, wez, and ekaterina/sue943:

Formula 1 Grand Prix

1st : SG
2nd : Sypher
3rd : ace_sodium

Congratulations ya'all, and a special mention for ace_sodium, who makes his first appearance in the Hall of Fame! His previous induction was a year ago in the Wall of Fame, when he came home 2nd in the Euro 2004 tipping comp.

Record Book updated for 5 consecutive wooden spoons by gtho4 in the A-League (he failed in his attempt to make it a neat half dozen), and a golden wood in the UEFA Champions League. That's some quinella.

Weight's right, no protests lodged.
HoF can now be updated:

Melbourne Cup

1st : Nannanut
2nd : ElfTwinkle
3rd : gtho4

Congratulations one and ya'all!
