IAAF Fantasy Game: Herculis

[trackstar]

You have almost exactly one day (as of 10:51am CST Monday) to get those picks made. Jump on it.

I'm happy with my picks at this meet but I'm dreading the 2 meets after Berlin.

[Seeksreal]

I can't find 6 unused picks that I am confident will win. Thinking about picking for 1-2 placing in one event, but not sure whether to make that in w100, m400h or wJT. I would have picked Savinova in w800, but she is not on the list.

[trackstar]

Yeah, we're getting to the point where we have to start picking the "maybes" instead of the sure things.

[lapsus]

Well, things can hardly start going any worse.

I'm thinking of picking Churandy Martina, even if I'm not sure if he has done anything of note this year.

Isn't it strange that DN Galan, just 4 days away, still has no start list published?

They had a schedule up..... briefly.

[Seeksreal]

I know that Jeremy Wariner, Dawn Harper and Brianna Glenn are on the start lists...

The schedule is there.

Also Gay versus Powell. But I have used up both.

"Does anyone know what happens if someone who is not on the master list wins an event? Does the runnerup become a "winner" for scoring purposes?"

Does anyone know what happens if someone who is not on the master list wins an event? Does the runnerup become a "winner" for scoring purposes?

I've wondered this myself. Maybe someone should ask ChrisIAAF. My guess is that they're not set up to know that, so picking Koech, and having him finish second behind Shaheen at the WC's would be tough to take. And we hope that new Russian TJ woman (Alekhina?) doesn't do well either.

I haven't looked through the start-lists too deeply but I think I'll go with Merritt, Mekonnnen (I'll be really fobbed off if he doesn't win because he's denied me 50-points so far!), Demus and Savigne. I want to pick a few athletes from weaker events because I really will be scraping the barrel after Berlin!

I've asked Chris for the answer

[mump boy]

i only like 2 of my picks

merrit and demus

then i have

mekkenon
savigne
friedrich
jamal

none of them are certs i'd like to pick savinova but don't trust RUS outside RUS and with trials at weekend i don't know if that mean she'll be in form or tired !!

jamal should be a shoe in but who knows what alminova will do and Burka's there as well

friedrich makes sense but blanka is still the better jumper

i don't really know who mekkenon is !!!

i think savigne won the last head 2 head but it's a toss up between her and lebedeva

i have no idea how this one will go but i know i need a good meet i fell 400 places with ridiculous captain choice at the weekend so and advice is welcome
