So we know all about Homer and Jluv's sheepscapades from the Quarter Finals.

Both have added two more sheep to give them a total of




TEN sheep from 14 questions is quite impressive... but how did Shane and Neowise fare?

Lettuce find out...

[Necro]

Neowise and ShaneU have each amassed....




TWELVE out of fourteen possible Sheep - really quite incredible!

Meaning that both will progress to the Grand Final by two points.

Commiserations to Homer and Jluv who will contest the Third and Fourth Place Playoff.


   

[Necro]

Our final will be contested by

@Neowise in the red corner....


VS

@ShaneU in the blue corner....

Can Shane add another trophy to his bulging cabinet?


Well we will soon find out. The final will be contested across the final three questions.


Meanwhile in our Third and Fourth Place playoff we have

@Jluv VS @Homer J. Fong

Question 15: A Star Wars movie

Question 15: A Star Wars movie

In our final it's first blood to the resident Sheep campione Shane... a slender two point lead.

Meanwhile in our playoff Jluv strikes back against earlier conqueror Homer and opens up a five point lead.

Two questions to go.

The Empire strikes back - 8

Shane and Neo both sheep meaning no change in the score. Shane leads by two, 26 points to 24.

Meanwhile in the playoff Jluv keeps her lead against Homer, five points ahead - 26 to 21.

Meaning it all comes down to the last question...

Question 17: One of the people/things referred to in the song by Billy Joel "we didn't start the fire"

[Necro]

Shane went for....




Neowise went for...

[Necro]

Question 17: One of the people/things referred to in the song by Billy Joel "we didn't start the fire"

Neowise scores big with a Harry Truman SHEEP! Marilyn garners Shane 4 points.....

In our third and fourth place playoff

@Jluv is victorious over Homer by a score of 36 to 31!!!


   




Meanwhile in our final... the campione has been DETHRONED....

@Neowise has emerged victorious over ShaneU...

A final score of 34 to 30!!!!



   


Congratulations to Neowise, but also commiserations to Shane who played a near perfect game up to the last question.

[RSOAPS]

Congrats @Neowise

Fun game @Necro, enjoyed my return to SHEEP even if I did terribly

[Necro]

Live pictures of Neo and his backroom team holding aloft the Sheep World Cup...




I wonder what would have happened had this been a normal game of sheep however??

[ShaneU]

Ah the old "first one on the list" tactic , why didn't I think of that congrats @Neowise

[Necro]

Scores after question 17:

Well Wonder no more!!

@Neowise would have won by two points with Shane finishing second. Interestingly Jluv and Homer (Homer in particular!) however were further down the table.

@lorcand1990 would have been our third on the podium in a standard sheep game.

[BuileBeag]

Congratulations @Neowise
Can't win em all @ShaneU but well fought.

And super congratulations to @Jluv for beating my OG nemesis @Homer J. Fong

Thanks @Necro , that was really great!

[davetherave]

If I arrive before the final score/winner is revealed, does that mean I was on time?

I was thinking of Home and Away for the Daytime Drama, but it is on 7pm their time and that threw me.


Henry the 8ths wives, did I miss the memo? Why would you not pick the first one in the list?

[Jluv]

Congrats @Neowise !!!!
Commiseration to@ShaneU .
First game I've been involved in where a sheep is not always a guaranteed good score .
I'm thrilled with 3rd🥉
Big thanks Necro..I'm sure that was a lot of work behind the scenes..

Ah Sephers!

[Jluv]

Ps commiseration @Homer J. Fong .
Two from Group D got to battle it out so that's a win!!

[ari101]

Congrats Neowise! and thank you Necro.

That was a great game 😁

[Leg End Reject]

Congrats, Neo!

Hard luck, ShaneU, still very impressive.

Great game, Necro, you deserve a few drinks after that.

[lorcand1990]

Congrats @Neowise , very well played

Thanks @Necro for a great game, despite the reports of numerous human rights violations in the run up to hosting the tournament

[nothing]

Congrats @Neowise, hard luck @ShaneU though 2nd is great!

Well done @Jluv and @Homer J. Fong, doing group D justice!

Thanks muchly @Necro for all your hard work!

[E.N.]

Congrats Neo, unlucky Shane (I mean, Harry Truman? JFK, blown away, what else do I have to say?)

Good game Necro, gutted to have missed it

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Ah Sephers!

Ohh right you were refering to the released version ? I was referring to the b side version, where he mentions table instead of harry truman but none of ye probably would of have heard that version because yer not cool like me   

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Thank @Necro for a fantastic game, congrat @Neowise

[guirienespana]

Thanks Necro for such an entertaining reveal!

Congrats Neowise!

[aaronjennings]

Congratulations Neowise, very well played

Thanks for the great game, Necro, stellar job organising this one

[aaronjennings]

Henry the 8ths wives, did I miss the memo? Why would you not pick the first one in the list?

Baffled me when I saw it in a previous game as well. I originally went for Catherine of Aragon this time too, before I remembered and changed it

Question 11: A game played at Halloween parties

ACES - 1:

Donuts on a string - Deja Boo

Donuts on a String? Is that some sort of posh protestant game or something?

I've never been to a Halloween Party, so I googled, then figured people  might rather take donuts  to a party, than apples ---> I was clearly mistaken.   

Cannae beleive I missed this reveal!  Congratz to the winners and semi-winners and quarter winners... I have no idea how this was played, but hey I PROTEST my low score  (dayum google anyway) 

[HildaSilvioOgden]

Missed the reveal, but looked like a good one.

Great game, @Necro
Congrats @Neowise

Looking at my score, I can only conclude as the late great Larry Gogan would have said 'the questions didn't suit you me' 😁

[Homer J. Fong]

Excellent reveal @Necro , thanks for all the work put into this.

Congrats @Neowise .

[Neowise]

Wow, so many alerts.

Thanks to @Necro for running such a fun game.

Coming runner up in group was probably the easier route, sorry@lorcand1990, you played a very good game.
that final swung both ways @ShaneU, was lucky for me, you play awesome too.

congrsts @Homer J. Fong and @Jluv for well played games too.

[Neowise]

If I arrive before the final score/winner is revealed, does that mean I was on time?

I was thinking of Home and Away for the Daytime Drama, but it is on 7pm their time and that threw me.

home and away is on after the lunch time news, the 7pm showing is a repeat slot.

[Butty Brennan]

Well done Neowise and thanks for a great game Necro (even if I didn't fully understand it ).
I did much better than I thought and I got to spar with a heavyweight so I'm happy with that.
