Grand Prix Predictions Game 2014-2015 FINAL ROUND: Grand Prix Final

[MalAssada]

What I like the most about this game is that it makes me watch other skaters and disciplines.

When it comes to picking disciplines I'm not familiar about, I do two things:
1. Calculate the average of each skater/team
2. See the difference between the two scores (the smaller the difference, bigger the consistency)
EXTRA: Calculate home town advantage

 

[LRK]

Looks like men predictions all very random all over the place. It will be funny to find out if anyone was right

Isn't it always? I think someone actually got all men right at Skate America? - which was a shocker - it happening at the very first event, and all. But I don't think anyone has since? Or am I forgetting?

Alright, final round! It will be very interesting to see how the scoring changes will reflect in the overall result.

Men: So unbelievably hard to predict... anyone could take this!!
1. Javier Fernandez (ESP)
2. Tatsuki Machida (JPN)
3. Takahito Mura (JPN)
4. Maxim Kovtun (RUS)
5. Yuzuru Hanyu (JPN)
6. Sergei Voronov (RUS)

Ladies: Easier than the Men, but still a lot of fluctuation can happen. It'll paint a very interesting picture of how the Russian girls stack up ahead of Nationals.

1. Elena Radionova (RUS)
2. Elizaveta Tuktamysheva (RUS)
3. Julia Lipnitskaia (RUS)
4. Anna Pogorilaya (RUS)
5. Ashley Wagner (USA) Almost put her higher, but just didn't think it was realistic. I kinda secretly hope I'm wrong and she can place higher, however.
6. Rika Hongo (JPN)

Pairs: Two battles going on here: the one for the gold medal, and the one for who is the top Chinese team. Both will be fascinating!

1. Stolbova/ Klimov (RUS)
2. Duhamel/ Radford (USA) Would love to see them win!! .... but S/K are in such beast mode. Hoping it'll at least be close!
3. Kavaguti/ Smirnov (RUS)
4. Sui/ Han (CHN)
5. Peng/ Zhang (CHN)
6. Yu/ Jin (CHN)

Dance: Go W/P! It'll be interesting to see this head-to-head battle!

1. Weaver/ Poje (CAN)
2. Chock/ Bates (USA)
3. Papadakis/ Cizeron (FRA)
4. Shibutani/ Shibutani (USA)
5. Gilles/ Poirier (CAN)
6. Ilinykh/ Zhiganshin (RUS)

Let the battle begin!

[text_skate]

I'm still not shure how to predict: with my mind or my heart or by drawing lots. Probably with a mixture of all as men are so unpredictable. So I will start now with what I've decided on and fill in the gaps.

Question

Are we doing predictions on the juniors too?

 

[darazam]

Can't tell for sure if these are predictions or just my hopes for final standings. Oh well.

Not for the purposes of this game. Good question.

[fleeting]

Eek, high stakes! I'm super excited though - this is the first GPF where I can't readily predict the winner of any discipline (well, I have a funny feeling about ladies, but eh). It's going to be interesting, but I will miss my traditional Final Dance Podium of D/W, V/M, and P/B

I'm just curious, but is there a reason as to why you put Stolbova and Klimov in 5th?

 

[CarneAsada]

I'm just curious, but is there a reason as to why you put Stolbova and Klimov in 5th?

I have no idea what is going on in pairs and didn't have time to watch everyone, so I rolled a pair of dice 6 times
