Someone took the time to organize a contest, post it, users posted their predictions, and then it's cancelled. And it's not possible to let this be a stand-alone contest? That's just impossible, or what am I missing? I mean, we have an organizer, we have at least 16 participants, you really think cancelling the whole thing is better than letting these 16 people have their contest? The only one who should decide whether or not it continues is the organizer (which is tuniscof). If he wants to continue this contest and has the time to keep track of the points, for crying out loud, let the contest go ahead. This is just....no, not gonna say what I think. It's better not to.

Everyone played the 2018 championship, but to top it off in true BDO fashion, they gave McGeeney a 2017 cheque

In other words: 'we had no faith the women could hold their own in these conditions'

And Durrant takes it

Durrant missed 3 darts to get back to 2-2 while McGeeney was on a double, but McGeeney missed all 3 match darts followed by Durrant taking it out on D1 with his last dart 2-2

We're going to a deciding set for the championship Durrant giving away chance after chance, so much that even the rather miseranly playing McGeeney could come back

But how did you handle the Lu/Krajinovic-situation? Manually change the involved matches according to the Australian Open website?

The problem is the replacements are not one-on-one replacements. Lu's replacement is not playing what would be Lu's match, for example. If these players would just not have withdrawn, this wouldn't have been so complicated for those who have yet to fill in their brackets

I think and hope so as well, although one wonders what happens with people who have filled in their bracket and don't know it has changed. Maybe they should receive at least a mention/PM?

Plus whoever is the reserve for the unused Dutch quota.

ALERT Yen-Hsun Lu and Filip Krajinovic are out of the Australian Open, but still in the prediction contest bracket. This has all mixed up the draw quite a bit, so don't simply replace Lu with Polansky for example, since Lu will play Pospisil and Polansky will play Khachanov. This is quite important, so I'm gonna wait with filling in my bracket..

Braisaz is coming up at shooting 3 now

Those times when you're like 5 seconds to late to make a joke and someone else makes it

Shooting is indeed not very important in Nordic Combined, I agree.

Thank god Crawford got that podium earlier this week, this would have been a rather painful way to lose it.. Fantastic race in general though

This ain't gonna be a win....it might not even be a podium

Come on Crawford!! This is the chance of a lifetime!

Crawford, come on!

110% against wind

Time for the others to do something more than just being really good then

Hirscher

Ah damn it, 'Double Meter' just outside of his first podium

Ok, apart from Germany's domination, this was a really fun and close relay

Oh that is such a huge shame to read, I was all excited about Monaco's 7th place and starting to put them in my list of outsiders with 1-2 % medal chance..
