If someone wins the next six games and loses the seventh and last heat, and six wins proves to be enough to make it into the Series 78 finals, can this person be entered into the Series 78 finals, or do you need to play at least one game in Series 78 to get in?

My prediction:
Tom will beat Graeme, can imagine Graeme scoring around 45-60, whilst I'm sure Tom will go past a century.
Similar story with Bradley v James- James will get around 50-65, whilst I re-iterate my previous comment about Tom regarding Bradley.
John v Michael, think this will be quite close, with John winning by 5-20 points, but a surprise by Michael isn't ruled out.
Noel v Eoin, closest of them all I think, will most likely go to a crucial, could go either way but my money's on Noel.
Tom v Noel, Tom to beat Noel by around 20-30 points.
Bradley v John, Think Bradley will beat John by around 20-25 points, but wouldn't be a huge surprise if John gets Brad.
Final: Tom v Bradley- Tom to win by around 30 points.

Think Bradley's better than you give him credit for, I'd be very surprised if anyone other than Tom toppled him - and even then I think Bradley at least will run him very close.Tom S wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 11:35 am My prediction:

Can there be a prize for most accurate predictions?
Having watched/been involved in them all, I can say they're great. I'm biased though.
I will say though, Rufus Hound is awesome. Probably the best thing about the finals.

Re: Ongoing series 77 general discussion thread (will contain spoilers!!!)
Noel, I think we should just be done with it and tell them which of us wins...
...I mean the thread title does say 'will contain spoilers' after all!
:::SPOILER ALERT:::
Semi-Final 1 will contain at least one Irish man.

Re: Ongoing series 77 general discussion thread (will contain spoilers!!!)
Yep, actually think that my final prediction was a bit generous in Tom's direction, and perhaps would lower my estimation by about 10 points, meaning that Tom will probably win by about 20 points. Agree, that it could be close, but think that Tom (just) has the advantage in the letters over Bradley (who's letters are definitely not be sniffed that).Elliott Mellor wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 9:37 pmThink Bradley's better than you give him credit for, I'd be very surprised if anyone other than Tom toppled him - and even then I think Bradley at least will run him very close.Tom S wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 11:35 am My prediction:

Sorry for dredging up an old topic, but... does anyone know - these medals and badges; is there an easy way of working out whether a newly declared word on TV earns one?Martin Hurst wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2017 11:36 pm Badges (7+ length maxes not previously submitted as a max by a contestant on CD before*): 12
