Joint 7th - wow, I'll take that

 

[Looren]

Oooh I actually did way better than expected (that or everyone did worse than expected )

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

11th, happy with my first go at this.

Thanks @Thorn. Interesting to see people's predictions vs what happened.

 

[randajad]

I guessed them all right I see #talent

 

[94ayd]

Wow, started off in joint 1st, then hovered near the bottom and finally put me back in the middle

 

[hijirio]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA soo happy for the tied 2nd place and congrats to Synergize wow that score is impressive
I am a bit more confident in my final results but lets see how everyone else did
This was extremely fun, especially the way of announcing the results. Thanks for the efforts!!!
I wish we had this tournament in the previous years too but better late than pregnant

 

[Himan]

The grand final will make me win(don't know, I get the feeling everyone will be wrong there)

 

[Ana Raquel]

I'm glad to lose 12 points on tbh happy to be super wrong about that!


I will so bomb the final though, oof.

 

[Synergise]

... What!?!
I thought I totally bombed this! I can assure you, my performance in the final is going to be a LOT worse.

 

[Mainshow]

Wow - I didn't see it coming! #2 for now? - I'm glad I was getting so many negative points for Latvia as well - I didn't believe they would be qualifying in the end (and then they even were #2!!).

The GF will totally make me suffer, though

Thanks for running this and the excellent way of presenting the results!

 

[Thorn]

The Grand Final round results will be posted tonight!
