The team scores on the doors going into the Final wereCRAT--25.3
PDIG-- 13.2
NZAS-- 17.0

Looks like I am slowly making up for my time off in hospital that led to me missing out rounds one and two then. Still reckon 2 points was bloody harsh from the poem round though. It was better than 2 points worth TBF.

Right then, so to re-cap, the scores on the doors after the Semi Final are

The remaining contestants must fulfil a simple task. They must create a Top 10 list.

Rulescould[/i get a perfect score on all 10 so each player could in theory score up to 65 points. Though I find this unlikely.
The total scored by each player will be added to their above team score, and the highest total is this year's RAB Factor Champion Team. Don't forget, there is a team bonus to play for and in the Final, that is a cracking 12 points for the winning team. As there is only 12.1 points between the 3 teams this is maybe crucial.

The closing date for submissions is negotiable. At the moment I'm thinking 12 noon on Sunday 23rd December. But could be persuaded to change that by popular demand. Or not. You can only ask.

If you are shy, you can PM your entry to me, and I will only publish it after the closing date. However, if someone else also dreams up your idea/s then both will count. The only way to get exclusivity on an entry is to post it on the thread. I'll go in strict thread order, and once posted, any entry which is later amended IS DISQUALIFIED so don't change your entry after posting.

I have never been into the coral stand, and by judging your post, is it safe to assume each item in the stand is worth so many points and as i dont know any of them i am screwed

Tell me about it. if it wasn't for Debaser getting 0.4 for his Cack Haiku which was incomparably inferior to the effort I put in, that scumbag would have been relegated instead of me. I hate his fat face. Liquid scum piped through veins of sewage pipes; That's what he is.

Todays post by pumpetypump was written by guest poster, Durham Giant.

Almost convincing PP but there is no way that that was Durham Giant. It makes sense and at no point shows petty jealousy toward Bradford RLFC.

To be fair to debaser, the 25 hour week teachers have to put in makes coming on line very difficult.

My reverse psychology worked, turning Mystic from a negative, bitter, smelly sock into my MVP. If it wasn't for that waster bob we would be home & host (whatever that means). Management is an art, which is why I am surfing the net & those around me are toiling away.

BTW, I ain't bitter.

I bow down to you oh great one!

I was a right little rapscallion until you took me under your wing.

Don't sit on the fence man.

Indeed. I have to get off now. It's nearly 4.
