we still have a max of 22. Im also taking out anonymous on 18 as they havent come
forward
14 people left in.
He/she has gone anyway, thanks to the next win, but I don't think you can take someone out just because they're anonymous
You encourage people to state who they are but nowhere do you say it's mandatory
That sounds like strongarm tactics
fair dos. I have stated many time that anonymois voters dont win, the winner will be the nearest named participant. If not here, in the past. It wasnt meant to be strongarm tactics, just that theyve had many / weeks of opportunity to come forward so I was tidying up.
But sorry if it came across that way.
in the future maybe I will make it clearer anonymous voters will be taken out at the end of the event and not be able to win, maybe my wording in the opening post wasnt clear enough so apologies for that.

What a lovely little niche Elegant Point found for herself early on, and no-one joined her. And now we ( nearly ) all want to see her win.
Go, EP !
DF of course won the Wimbledon predictions event last season with one other, and won our 2025 year long predictions event. Mdewey is a past winner of one of these; and EP has two recent titles to their name as well. But DF and EP are starting to put themselves up there as two of the GOATs to challenge Indy and Miriams all time supremacy.
The top 12 who get points in the 2026 year long competition will be in the range 19-23 wins predicted if Neal wins the final, or 18-22 if Neal loses. Either way, it will actually be a few more than 12 predictors who score points.
