Smarty's Pedometer Challenge Monday 26 July 2010 by Brian Smart - Webmaster A Pedometer is a small electronic device that counts the number of steps you take.
I have an idea for a challenge that will earn the winner some money.
The Challenge
Take a guess at the number of steps I take in a typical game of bowls. We will choose a game in the future at random and I will wear the pedometer for the duration of the game.
Whoever can guess to the closest number of steps actually taken wins the prize money.
It will cost £5 to enter and winner takes all - Prize money dependent on entries.
Rules
1. To enter you must send me a an email with your guess and this action commits you to pay £5 entry fee. (You can PM me if you are a member on the message board)
2. A game will be chosen at random in which my steps will be measured.
3. Closing date will be midnight the day before the day of the game chosen.
4. Entries will be published on this message board on the day before the game starts.
5. You can guess as many times as you want, £5 per entry
If you think you can gain an advantage by counting the number of steps in your game then feel free. You can even use your own pedometer if you have one but remember these points:
Every game is unique.
The number of steps taken in a 21-20 result will be totally different than a those in a 21-5 result.
If we play 30 mtr marks for the entire game, it will take a lot more steps than if we play 20 mtr marks.
Suppose we get a block-up and I go and get our jack back? Thats another 50 steps we weren't counting on.
It's impossible for anyone to know the true answer to this challenge because there are so many possibilities.
The current prize fund will be displayed on the message board so that hopefully others will be encouraged to enter.

LONGDENDALE VETS MERIT Saturday 24 July 2010 by Dave Drury - Longdendale Match Secretary The Vet's Merit took place at Gamesley BC on Wednesday 21st July.
The turnout was disappointing as only 4 players arrived for the competition - the League must decide whether to continue with a competition it would appear players are not interested in!!
The weather was glorious after the recent rain we had suffered, the green was superb condition and was a credit the Gamesley BC.
The draw for the semi-finals saw Ivor Ibbotson (Spring Gardens) drawn against clubmate Dave Drury, Ivor won 21-18. The other semi-final was between George Rogers (Trades Hall) and Neville Bray (Hadield), George winning 21-13.
The Final saw George Rogers win the merit beating Ivor Ibbotson 21-13.
Congratulation George. |
