Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

@Samerberg Sue,

The top 2 scores in the overall leadership are 58.2 and 56.45 so it is numerically impossible to have an overall team score above those levels so the top 5 team scores at least must be wrong !

Boring bean counter speak !

As we are not involved in any of the 'prize' process its of little consequence - but its just wrong !

@codyaitch, Send that to Michael and he will get it checked out! when it comes to numbers I'm totally blind (actually diagnosed number blind =Discalculic(sp?) here is Germany while training to teach little kids! Opps Embarassed Embarassed ) how the hell I managed to get an O Level pass I'll never know.

Either some of the team scores are just wrong or there is some team fiddling going on. As far as I know none of the European players/teams are awarded any of the goodies that are up for grabs in the USA. Could be one of the reasons that the numbers still playing in Europe are dropping quite quickly.

@codyaitch, I'd still be first in Germany if I had taken my own advice instead of that tit Greg Needell. I chucked out Wendy Holdener and put in Manu Moelgg - she didn't even show up I think! She definitely did not qualify for the second run! I'm feckin furious, I'll ignore him completely from now on! Chest thumping blooming Yank does not know his @rse from his elbow!

Good night for me, I had Kris/fen in 3rd but he didn't do the biz and Pintarault for 10th. Now if they'd come in I'd be right on it. Looking forward to Adelboden, one of my favourite tracks, reckon experience will win the Gs so I've gone for Ligety, Hirscher, Pinty for 1,2,3 - liking Victor M/J at the mo also. Best of luck people Very Happy

@briand6868, yep Pintu and Kristofferson stuffed it for me too! I'd have had an almost perfect score if they had come in as planned! Adelboden is a tricky course and experience will be paramount.

The Ladies in BKK will also not have it easy, looks like Vonn is already coming up with possible excuses - current one "Swiss" air have lost my luggage! We have assembled a whole game of Vonn Excuses Bingo which is quite amusing! Why she just can't come out like the others and say that others were better on the day or that she got the line wrong makes her a fairly easy target to laugh at! Her pantomime at Val d'Isere was a throwback to the "Austrian Conspiracy" excuses she came up with at the 2010 Olympics! Laughing Laughing She is one of the best gliders in the world, possibly ever but not all the slopes are gliding ones. On the day she is unbeatable, but does not seem to be able to accept that others may be more adaptable than she is!

@Kooky, One a racer always a racer wink

@Samerberg Sue, BKK was a pig of a track the last time the ladies raced it, could be a bit of a lottery if the opening few turns are set the same style as last time. Not all " bankers " will perform. L. V. has lost before she ever sets foot in BKK if she's at that cr*p already.

LB said the course is pretty "unrühig"....bumpy underfoot, but grippy snow. He also said they are starting slightly above the Frank Klammer so the start is very steep. First proper training tomorrow, today they just slipped it, I will let you all know Madeye-Smiley

@briand6868, you want me to send you a copy of the Vonn Excuses Bingo card? Today we have had Swiss conspiracy (Swiss (Air) have lost her luggage), belly ache and sickness so far!

That course is brutal at any time but BKK has not been as blessed with snow as some of the other areas I believe.

Mind you if I had to launch myself down that slope and not put the brakes on full after 2 cms, I might also have a belly ache or even a very loose bowel event! Laughing Funny how all the other US racers arrived with their kit though wink

@Samerberg Sue, LB said the race will go ahead tomorrow, but he has been booted from start list as Max Franz and a few other ÖSV senior team have turned up hoping for some pre Kitzbühel runs ...pretty shitty as he has worked with the other 10 forerunners all day until 5pm to repair the course, all the A and b netting was fu....cked, he said it took all day to try and repair it

He also said they found the start bogen over a half kilometer away, and lots of tents and accreditation tents were all over the place.

How are we doing this weekend folks? Been pretty mediocre for me all in all.

Watched this just now, if you open it in an incognito window it may work - Maria Höfl-Riesch skis down and analyses the Lauberhorn race track.

Sadly she has replaced Marcus Wasmeier as the TV expert. not heard her myself but from reports, everyone is underwhelmed and wants Wasmeier back!

Kooky, Codyaitch and Dr Che all managed 8 out of 10 for the mens slalom but disappointingly only exactly match 1 for scores of 48.50, all of which increased overall scores - only 4 other scores over 40.

I was patting myself on the back for 8 out of 10 and 2 exact for 52 points in the slalom - then @Samerberg Sue, out scored me with 9 out of 10 and 1 exact for 57.50 - well done Sue - best Hopefuls score of the season.

I will update scores after Schladming - but Hopefuls are up to 9th from 19th, and given that at least the top 4 scores are just wrong, we should be 5th.

@codyaitch, Please send Michael your proof. I complained today because I thought I had 2 exact not one. That would have placed me in third place overall. A screen shot showed me I was wrong. But they do listen and make amendments if justified. They are only humans, albeit busy and clever little buggers. wink

@Samerberg Sue, I have exchanged e-mails with Michael Nyman.

He acknowledges that some of the league scores are wrong - apparently the original developers allowed team names to be duplicated/carried forward from one year to the next and as such scores have been duplicated and/or brought over from prior years.

They have struggled to understand the original development 'coding' and rather than unravel what is there, they have -

'decided to rebuild the site and focus on making it mobile friendly. We'll let everybody know when it is available'.

Insofar as your individual score is concerned, I pick up the scores for my summary from the Top 10 picks league table which drills down through you and through the slalom score to a table comparing your pick with the result.

That table shows you have Larrson in 10th as the only exact placed skier.

The only area of possible error is if the list shown in that table differs from your selected order.
