The Sheep Cup - Reveal

[Mam of 4]

Woohoo Leggy!

Through gritted teeth

Belize?! Really??

[aaronjennings]

In the case of a tie-breaker, the winner is determined by whoever scored the most Sheep in the match between those two players

However, Zaph and Lorcan both Sheeped all three questions against each other, so we must look further back, and compare their Sheep counts for their Round 1 matches

Zaph scored two Sheep in his Round 1 match against Ari, but Lorcan scored three Sheep in his Round 1 match against Mam

Which means, by winning the Sheep Count Tie-Breaker by a score of 6-5, Lorcan advances to the Semi-Final

[aaronjennings]

Another check-in on the race for the Golden Hoof, and we see that Zaph, despite his elimination from the tournament, leads the way by 8 points. He won’t be able to accomplish a Cup-Hoof Double, but can he stay top of the scoring table to walk away with the secondary prize?

[lorcand1990]

But…

Zaph and Lorcan have finished their match level on points, which mean we must go to a tie-breaker to determine who will face Shane in the Semi Final

How do we solve a tie-breaker, you ask? Well…

First person to reply to your post wins?? Ok I agree, k thanks bye

[lorcand1990]

That's desperate luck Zaph, very well played

[Edser]

Hard luck @jp liz v1

SEMI FINALS, Q1 of 3

It’s all the twos for this question, as there were just two double acts submitted for this semi-final double-header. Did people go old-school or new school?

[jp liz v1]

Hard luck @jp liz v1

Damn Wordsmith and Poetry 

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, I'm out and @Edser made it through

The era of black-and-white film triumphs over the black-and-white of Newcastle United

Shane and Edser both open up 6-point leads on their opponents, but we’ve seen leads diminished before

[Leg End Reject]

I've a bad feeling about this. 😬

And bollocks! I changed from Laurel and Hardy just before submitting.

[lorcand1990]

@Leg End Reject do you want to sneak back into the losers lounge with me? I've stashed a bottle of vodka under one of the tables we smashed up

What? No Jedward?!

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Go on leggy!

Do it for the ladies!!! 🥳

You had me at vodka. 😁

SEMI FINALS, Q2 of 3

Another geography question, another wide spread of answers, with 10 different answers submitted. But who will be swimming in a sea of misery when they see the top answer?

A surprising Sheep in my opinion, as Fiji are an island all to themselves at the top of the table

Both Edser and Shane extend their leads over their opponents, but with one question left, Leg End and Lorcan still have a chance

[aaronjennings]

SEMI FINALS, Q3 of 3

There were just two answers submitted for this question. Did you go for the home of rugby and soccer, or the home of football and hurling?

[Leg End Reject]

I'll get the ice @lorcand1990 and we'll finish trashing the losers lounge.

I still have my baseball bat, its a bit chipped but very capable of some more chaos

It looks like people prefer Gaelic football to association football, as Croke Park is the biggest Sheep of the game so far

All four Semi Finalists chose the same answer, which means there is no last-minute drama for Leg End or Lorcan, who exit the competition

It also means that the inaugural Sheep Cup Final will be Edser vs. ShaneU

[aaronjennings]

One final check on the Golden Hoof table before we go on to the final. Our two finalists are in joint-second in the overall scoring charts, but Zaph still leads the way with a 10-point advantage

[Edser]

unlucky @Leg End Reject

[Leg End Reject]

Le sigh. 😕

Still I'm a woman that managed a semi. Poor Lorcan though ...



😎

[lorcand1990]

unlucky @Leg End Reject

Don't think Shane has been on posting tonight so I'd like to point out that I was also unlucky 

[Edser]

Good luck @ShaneU

I'd like to raise...... an objection to that post

[aaronjennings]

FINAL, Q1 of 3
 
Another question with just six possibilities, but will any of our finalists be-headed for an early lead?

We were robbed.

ROBBED! 🤬🤬

Both of our finalists are married to the same answer, as they both land the big Sheep to start the final strong

[aaronjennings]

FINAL, Q2 of 3

The penultimate question brings us in to the office. Who’s been naughty with the photocopier, and who has been nicking all the pens from the supply cupboard?

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Myself and brennan fighting for the wooden spoon, go on brennan I'll you let you have it seeing as I'm a nice guy like that

Back to see how my tenner is doing....

I hope the manager has authorised overtime, because we might need it to separate these two, who land on the same answer despite 9 different answers being submitted
 
Some answers I could have grouped together, but it wouldn’t make a difference in either the Cup or the Golden Hoof races, so I didn’t bother
 
Which means, with just one question left, Edser and Shane are still tied. It will all come down to the final round…

[aaronjennings]

FINAL, Q3 of 3

The final question, of the final round, of the… final. You get the idea. And it all comes down to sports movies. Who will land the knock-out punch?
