Prediction contest

[smiticks42]

After discussion with Fraeneon, Regattagame players are offered a prediction contest on the actual Vendée Globe and the Vendée Globe RG.

The predictions will be made on this topic, the predictions will close on November 9 at 10 p.m.

All the predictions will be recorded and put on a informatic support which will be communicated to you during the race.

You will need to give 5 names in the order of your choice for each race.

Ranking :

A boat found in the top five of the final classification gives one point.
If you have found the right place for a boat you score two points.
We add it all up to have the winner of the forecast competition.

Good luck everyone.

Ok, I'll back those I liked and followed in previous races.

1) Samantha DAVIES, Initiatives-Cœur (who once rounded cape Horn dancing and singing "The girls! they like to have fun!...")
2) Alex THOMSON, Hugo Boss
3) Arnaud BOISSIÈRES, La Mie Câline-Artisans Artipôle
4) Isabelle JOSCHKE, MACSF
5) Jean LE CAM, Yes we Cam ! (aka 'clac-clac-clac')

On RG:
1) Rovaldi BPT, my mate Didier from LiveSkipper days
2) Serpentaire BPT, Chti Olive
3) Coromandel, Frank
4) Kingfisher829, Glenn

And finally

5) Stakk GD, because he used to sail under an Aussie blue ensign in the days we sailed at VR

Since Summer is fast approaching and confinement is about to cease, I fear I won't be able to concentrate on the game, preferring to sail on the real Limelight!
