Hey all -
well hopefully those bands playing at Harrogate this weekend are having a good time, regardless of results.
Well done to those who've figured!
The results of your predictions after 3 sections can now be seen - ye don't seem to have been as accurate as ye were at the Areas really (shame on ye!)
Well the 2nd section results later on may change things.
Here are the results so far

Bocito ergo sum...
Do you HAVE to do the results in alphabetical order when there's a tie :o
Partisan predictions rule OK.

Well I'm doing well in 79th place with 4 points... lol.
Dyl seems to be good at things like fantasy football and fantasy brass bands!!
Well done Dyl! (Of course it's not over yet until the fat lady sings but somehow I doubt I'm any competition for you...)
Kirsty Kerr | Drogheda Brass Band - On the bench until mini flugelperson arrives, then we'll see what I'm up to playing!
i seem to be 11th with 15 points, and I've only bet on the 1st section so far!
Andy Cattanach, BBb Tuba + Bass Trombone.
Intrada Brass Ensemble.
Beer: So much more than just a breakfast drink.
Argh! Nooooo! Beaten by my conductor! I'll never hear the end of it!
And it was all going so well for me till the 2nd section! Congratulations Heather - you are the official tMP National Finals BOC!!!
With the 2nd section results announced (well done) we've done all the arcane sums on your predictions, and come up with a winner (just)
It was very close, but congrats to....

Also well done to Cantonian, coming in just 1 point behind, and then Dyl, Aardvark and KennyC in joint 3rd position

Well, what can I say??
I'm amazed my predictions have made me the winner.
I must admit I did study a bit of form(!) and would like to thank Pemberton, Barrhead, Hoover, Lockwood and Grange Moor for helping me out!
I suppose I'd better apply for a job at 4barsrest now!
Cheers...I'm really stunned!!!!!!!!
p.s
I don't suppose there was a £1000 prize was there?

Well done Heather! Good to see that someone is better than Dyl at these things...
Kirsty Kerr | Drogheda Brass Band - On the bench until mini flugelperson arrives, then we'll see what I'm up to playing!
Thanks Flugelgal.
I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight, I'm so pleased!
Heather
I can't find ME!!!!!!!!

There was a fair amount of guesswork on my part but I did keep a record of the results of last years prediction competition. Another piece of guesswork was in the recognition of bands from posters on tMP. Seems keener, busier bands do well on contests.
In spite of this I was surprised and pleased to finish second. Thanks to all of the keen and hard working people in the (supposedly) dying brass band world.
