Amazing, isn't it!

[JAG]

Bummer, that was the kind of result I wanted for Babson on jump 1.

Babson will go Average for the third jump.

[Coffee Warlord]

Nielsen will rock Average again. And bribe the officials to look the other way in case of fouls.

[CrimsonFox]

sigh...mccloud will go average again

All out for Bafou.

[DavidCorperial]

I'll go average with David Ginsberg again.

[chesapeake]

Showmanship, George. When you hit that high note, you say goodnight and walk off.

Llyw will catch you all at the next event.

[Simbo Klice]

Rambis is thrilled with his decent jump and will pass on his third.

[mrkilla22]

Frank Justice - Safe

[kingfc22]

Gonzalez will sit out again.

[PilotMan]

Normal for Gunderson for jump 3

[CrimsonFox]

After my jump, I throw hot coals on the runway. (wearing gloves of course)

[Breeze]

Event 2 - Long Jump - 3rd Attempts

Babson - Now that Babson has a decent number on the board, he is putting a little more effort into his final jump...he gets his speed up, hits the board and flies down the pit...this one is clearly going to be better than the last. In fact, he is out close to the leader Llyw...the final measurement is 24' 10". This result was about dead middle of all the potential outcomes in the average column

Ginsberg - Ginsberg elects to give it another shot, hoping to improve on his current 23' 7" result. He get's his speed up down the runway...hits the launch board and jumps into the pit...this one is clearly his best effort yet...final result 24' 3". There were a couple of results a couple inches further, but nothing significantly better...in that column...

Nielsen - Living up to his heritage, Nielsen is refusing to give in and simply record a score. He isn't foolishing attacking the board, but he is giving it a solid effort...he hit the board...and I don't see a flag go up...he get good lift and lands what appears to be just short of Babson's jump. Not his best effort but a very good one under the circumstances.24' 7".Rolled a 36...a scratch in the average column exists on 32-35...

McCloud - So the first two favorites in this event came up with big jumps when they needed too, which only serves to add more pressure on McCloud. But the Big Scot refuses to give in...giving his final jump a concerted effort...he hits the block and gets a gigantic jump...perfect form and the leap is extremely successful...he will even be close to taking the outright lead in the event...I can't tell from the mark we'll have to wait for the measurement................ - 25' 2" Not a max out, but not a ton of better results available either

Llyw - After his huge attempt in his last jump that matched a personal best, Llyw elects to pass knowing he probably won't improve...and preferring to save his energy...

Rambis - Rambis, knowing this event isn't one of his strengths, and pretty pleased with is previous attempt of 23' 5" elects to pass.

Justice - Justice, clearly in a tough spot, looking at a 3rd jump with no current score in the event, elects to approach his final attempt more conservatively...and he successfully completes the jump...no white flag this time... and considering the pressure of the jump it ends up being a good one...23' 10"All and all a very lucky result here...there are only 2 results in the conservative column that are better....

Bafou - Another wild effort from the Camerooner...Camerite...Cam...oh, hell nevermind - white flag is up and it doesn't matter...Foul.

McGillicuddy - Now with a good jump the pressure would normally be off, but McGillicuddy has just watched his 24' result get passed by 3 people droping him from 2nd in the event to 5th...he give it a shot...it's a clean jump and judging from the unofficial ruler by the pit he appears to be very close to his previous jump...can't tell it is so close...23' 11"Just missed bettering his result...on the card too, as many rolls around this one were slightly better

Ashkayev - Final jump for Ashkayev is about like his previous on...in fact if he hadn't been a bit early on the take off it might have been the exact same distance20' 9".Terrible luck here...as the result was the worst possible outcome in the entire column....

Gunderson - Gives it another go...but his stide is off at the line and he ends up walking through the attempt...never even jumping into the pit...Foul. Really could have improved in this event with a little better luck

Gonzalez - Elected to pass his third jump...

[Breeze]

The FOFC Track Officials would like to appologize for the delay...apparently they had to clear some hot coals from the long jump runway...not sure how they got there, but they are looking at security tapes to try and determine the cause....

[PilotMan]

Wow, to end up with a sub 23 jump in this is truly a disappointment.

Event 2 - Long Jump - Review

The Winners

Llwy
The biggest winner, without question was Llyw...anytime you max out an event you are a huge winner as there was no possible way to gain more points in the event.

The Favorites
Other winners are difficult to define, but I'd have to put all the favorites in the this column (Babson, Nielsen, and McCloud)...though they weren't dominating winners, all three were on the verge of being big losers in the event until the last jump and all 3 pulled through with an acceptable result. Certainly all 3 left points on the table, but they finished in the top of the standing in the event...and thus didn't lose too many points to the field


The Losers

Ashkayev
As big a winner as Ashkayev was in the 100 Meters, he was a bigger loser here. Not only did he finish last in the event, he was almost 2' shy of 11th and 10th place...that is a huge hit in the standings...

Gunderson
Gunderson got a bad break on the dice rolls in his last two attemps as he clearly should have been in the upper 23' range at worst...unlike Bafou, who jumped a similar distance, he did about as good as he could, Gunderson lost some ground here...

Event 3 - Shot Put - Overview

The shot put works exactly like the long jump. Each athlete has up to 3 attempts and they can decide how they want to proceed with throws of safe, average or allout...

I will be posting information that will help give you some insight on your character...but understand, unlike long jump where the results are within a few feet of each other...the throwing events can have a very wide range of results and I can only be so accurate with my descriptions...

[Breeze]

Event 3 - Shot Put - Preview

The Favorites
Babson

The Underdogs
Ginsberg, McGillicuddy

This isn't to say there isn't a lot of room for the competitors in this event, in fact, there are quite a few that are tightly bunched and quite a few that can win this event outright even if they aren't listed in the favorites. Actually, the reason the favorite list is so small is because there are too many B level performers to list here without naming over half the field....

[Breeze]

Event 3 - Shot Put - Card Review

Babson
Safe - Has a nice conservative column...there are many outcomes of over 50' including several in the high probably rolls in the 30s. 30, 32, 34, 35, 36, 38 and 39 are all over 50'. There are a couple throws over 55' in the teens and low 20s as well. Low end is a nasty 43'7" result on 33...several other upper 48s and 49s sprinkled about. Most likely outcome will be beween low 50s to low 52s.
Ave - Got some huge results here...got a 57' on 38, and another on 25 and 22. Quite a few in the 55 and 56 foot range. The worst possible outcome here looks to be low 53...
All Out - This column has throws in the 58 foot range, but most of the column appears to be 51', 53 foot results. The big numbers (with exception of the 58...appear to be in the 55' ballpark and require a roll in the 10s...


Ginsberg
Safe - Not a good column...there is a 47' 10" result on 26, but the rest of the outcomes appear to be between low 40' and upper 41'. There are a few 42 and 43' results mixed in...most likely result is mid 40' to lower 41'
Ave - This is a much better column. Most resuts fall between upper 44' and lower 47'. Most likely outcome is between 46' and lower 47s.
All Out - could get a result in the 50' range with a roll of 19 or 21. There is also a 49'9" one on 12...and a 49'10" on 20, but most of th rest of the results are in the 44' range. Most likely outcome is upper 44'.

Nielsen
Safe - For a conservative column Nielsen has some good results. Could top 50' - 6 times. low end is in the 44' low range. Most likely outcome will be either in the mid to uppper 46' range
Ave - The entire column except the roll of 32 is 50' or better. high looks like 55'+, but it is on 17. Most likely result is in the upper 52 to mid 53' range
All Out - 6 results over 55' and one really high 54'. Several results in the 50' and 51' range. Most likely result is upper 51'


McCloud
Safe - interesting column...pretty solid with results in the 46, 47 and 48' range. Got some nice 50' plus results on the lower percentage rolls in the teens. Most likely result is across the 47' range
Ave - Quite a few results better than 53'...do have some 5 low results for this column in high occuring rolls...30, 31, 32, 36, 37, and 38. This makes it hard to predict what the most likely outcome in the column will be, as the 20 and teens are peppered with nice results...most likely outcome - ??? sorry but can't make a determination by eyeballing the results
All Out - A string of 55'+ results run from rolls of 16 - 19. Also have a 54 on 27. The rest basically runs from unremarkable (50 and 51' results) to poor (48 and 49').


Llwy
Safe - poor results in the mid 30 rolls, but most of the rest of the card is 45'+. Top end is 51'5" on 27 and 50 but on the roll of 11 so not likely. A couple other results in the 48' range. The Most likely outcome is better than 45'but not likely to go above 47'.
Ave - High probablity rolls are in the upper 40s (48 and 49'). Several 50+ foot throws in the teens and upper and lower 20 rolls. A nice 52'3" result on 23, and another close to that on 39...most likely result mid 50s to 52'.
All Out - Got a 54'11" result on 12 and one close to that on 14 and one greater than that on 29. A few 52' type results in the teen. As always you have the low end results mixed in that in this case would bu 47' and 48' results...Most likely results are probably around 50'


Rambis
Safe - Nothing specatular here...the high probablity rolls are below average around a 45' ballpark. The good rolls are in the teens...but there are several 50'+ ones there. Most likely outcome is low 46' to low 47'
Ave - Got a very nice average column, but the low 47' to 49' rolls on 30 - 32 are concerning. Most of the rest of the results are in the 50'+ range with quite a few in the 53 and 52' ballparks. Most likely result is low to mid 52s.
All Out - The all out column gives you a chance at a 55'5" toss on 20 and a similar roll on 19 (good luck with that). There are also good ones in the 55'neighborhood on 23 and 29 (not bad). The rest is the column is the typical risk/reward stuff...mostlikely result is in the 52' range


Justice
Safe - got a 50'9" result on 30 and another over 50' on 28...both are not bad odds. The only other over 50 result is the high on the column of 51'1" but it is on 13. The low end looks to be in the 42' range and the most common outcomes are in the upper 45' to mid 46'
Ave - Got an awesome 54'10" result on 32. There are serveral more over 53' in the column. Most of the column is over 50' with the low end at 48'11" on 21. The most likely outcome is upper 50' and mid 52s
All Out - Better than most high risk columns...from 17 - 20 is all over 55', got anther on 23 and a 55'+ on 14. But what makes this column better than most high risks ones is that the bad throws are typically better. Most are still over 50'. Most likely outcome would be upper 50'.


Bafou
Safe - not a strong event for this athlete...high result is only in the mid 48' range. Teh low end is around 41'. The most likely result is in the mid 44's throuh the mid 45' range.
Ave - Not a bad column here - 13 results over 50' including on rolls of 36, 37, 24, 23, 22, 21, 18, and 16, 14, 13, and 12. Pretty decent change he can hit one of these. Most likely outcome is in the mid 50'.
All Out - got a low of 46' 2" on 30 (not good) and a 48' but on the hard to roll 18. high is in 53'8" on 22 (not bad). Got a few more results over 50' but they are offset by numerous results in below 50'...most likely outcome ???


McGillicudy
Safe - Not a good performer in this event...he has an extremely poor sub 40' toss on 31...quite a few fall between 40' and 41'6". The high appears to be 47'5", but it is on a high probability roll of 35. Most likely result is 41'and some change.
Ave - This column looks a lot like the last one...Thing did slide up slightly as the low is now a 41'10" result and the high is a 48'+ which appears 3 times. Most likely result is upper 46 to lower 47'
All Out - even in the allout column ther only appears to be 1 result over 50 on the roll of 17. There are some 49'+ results on 12, 15, 19, 21, and 29. The rest is around 45'+/-


Ashkayev
Safe - low end is in the low 41' range, high end is 49' on the roll of 25. Most likely result appears to be around 46'
Ave - got a nice sprinkling of 50+ foot results, including a 51 on 36, and a 53'+ on 39. Other rolls over 50 include, 29, 28, 26, 25, 23, 22, 20, 19, 15, 14, 13, and 12. But some poor results on 30 - 32 are problematic. Most likely result in the 51' range
All Out - High end is a 54'11' on 12 and 19. Do have several more 50+ in the teens and more on 23, 26, 29. The rest is poor at best, including rolls in the 45' and 46' range. Most likely is around 51'


Gunderson
Safe - has a nice 49'8" result on 33, and a 50+ result on 30. Plus 52'9" on 26. Other 50+ results exist in the teen. The low is a 42'10" result on 25. Most likely result will be around 48 or 49'
Ave - Got a great 54'10" result on 32, and 16 - 27 are all greater than 52' except 21 which is 51'. Low is a 47'11" result on 30. Most likely outcome is @ 52'
All Out - 4 results over 55' 14, 18, 19, 23. Serveral more between 50' and 52'. There are also 6 result that are below 50' including 2 in the 47' range. Most likely result is between 50 and 51'6".


Gonzalez
Safe - mid 45 results appear on most of the high probability rolls. The high is a 51'3" number on 38. Teh most common result is mid 45'
Ave - again 38 is a good roll this time a 51'11" results. Over half the results are above 50' with the high above 53'. The low end throws are ugly 45' and 46'8 on the 21 and 22. Most likely result is in the low 51s.
All Out - Got some good results in the teens, including 4 over 52'. 20 - 22 is also nice with results ranging from low 51' to mid 53'. Got a couple more 50+ results, the bad rolls that are typically sprinkled in, in this case aren't as bad...most are over 48'. Most likely result is around 51'

[Breeze]

Hopefully, the breakdown above will give you all you need to make a decision on how to approach the shot put. I'll need to get everyone's declaration on how to start the event...

If you are confused on need more information just let me know

[larrymcg421]

Can you give us a breakdown on fouls/injuries?

EVENT 3 - Shot Put - Result Specifics

Chances of Occurance

Conservative
Fouls - 0%
Injuries - 0%

Normal
Fouls - 23.61%
Injuries - 2.31%

Aggressive
Fouls - 47.22%
Injuries - 4.63%

NOTE: Any roll that results in an injury also results in a foul.

[larrymcg421]

McGillicuddy - Normal

[Simbo Klice]

Rambis will see how normal treats him for now.

[Coffee Warlord]

Though handling large heavy balls is traditionally something Danish women are more experienced in, the rules prohibit the Viking Lord from using one of his harom as a stand in.

Thusly, Nielsen is forced to take this task on himself, and will, amidst protest, do so at an Average intensity.

[DavidCorperial]

Wow, I think I have to go the same way in this event, normal for the first throw from David Ginsberg.

[chesapeake]

Llyw is feeling very average.

[britrock88]

Normal for Bafou.

[ntndeacon]

normal for Ashkayev for the 1st 2 jumps

[PilotMan]

Gunderson will throw normal to start the shot putting. We need a really good showing here.

[CrimsonFox]

Fox Mccloud - Conservative/Safe

(looks like he lucked out with card creation for this one)

Adjusted it because I realize it's normal not average, so average for David Ginsberg.

[Breeze]

Event 3 - Shot Put - Throw 1

Babson
Babson steps in the circle for his first attempt at the shot. He spins, turns launches the ball, but kicks the edge board and Fouls

Ginsberg
Ginsberg, one of the poorer performers in this event, is looking for a good showing to stay in contact with the overall points leaders, tosses his first put and get a distance of 44' 10" This result appears to be the 3rd lowest in the average column...so mmuch better results still out there

Nielsen
The big Dane's first attempt is much more controlled than his first attempt in the long jump, he is well balanced, and he uses that huge frame to drive the put into the landing area...his toss measures 52' 4". This is about lower middle of the results in the column. Many of the higher probability results are in this neighborhood, but here are a good number still available that are over 53'

McCloud
McCloud's first attempt appears to be pretty conservative in nature...not a ton of explosion and it shows in the result...47' 10" Not a terrible throw for the conservative column...but this falls about middle distance in the results for safe and would be the shortest good result in the average column

Llyw
Comming off his huge result in the long jump, Llyw is overly pumped up and he ends up off balance on the throw and is unable to save it...having to step into the field to remain standing Foul

Rambis
Rambis...takes his turn and the form and toss look good. This one is clearly the longest of the competitors so far...result 52' 11" I count 8 better results in the average column and 4 in the all out column

Justice
Justice electst to really go after his first attempt, and he is rewarded with a white flag...the toe clipped the throw board...Foul

Bafou
Bafou, the former basketball player has his own unique way of combining the classic croutch and turn with is old free-throw style...it is very interesting, but not ususally very successful....however this time he gets a pretty good result, timing the bob, weave, turn, and classic basketball follow through...he ends up with a distance of 50' 5". This is about in middle in the results in the normal column

McGillicuddy
The first throw for McGillicuddy is clean, but not very good 44' This was the second shortest result in the column

Ashkayev
Another clean throw, but poor outcome...46' 8" This is a low end result for the column...many better scores available

Gunderson
AFter a disappointing result in the long jump, Gunderson is looking to rebound...but his bad luck continues as his toe has apparently scraped the toe board. The official threw up the flag...Gunderson doesn't like the call, but the video shows the very tip of his shoe scuff the board and in fact a slight mark was left on the white paint...so no doubt it is a Foul

Gonzalez
Gonzalez, like McGillicuddy and Ashkayev has a score on the board, but it isn't one he's going to be particularly happy with...46' 8" There is only 1 outcome in the column shorter than this distance
