Closed now, for all nice of you who bothered to enter! I'll sort out my spreadsheet with the results tomorrow - betcha can't wait! lol
It's been a while since we've had an open entry competition and as I've been having a clear out of some of my Star Wars stuff I thought I'd run a competition for a bit of fun!
I toyed with doing this last summer but never got around to it as a house move got in the way. Some of you know that I work in Education so I thought I'd do a competition based around the results that my students get in their A/AS-Levels! It is pretty straight forward; all you have do is predict the grades you think they will achieve (obviously no names will be used!). For example, I have one class of eight students doing AS-Level English Language, therefore you could predict the following:
A: 2 B:3 C:2 D:1 E:0 U:0
then if the real results where as follows:
A: 0 B: 3 C: 3 D:1 E:1 U:0
That person's guess for that class would get six correct guesses. So, each correct guess gets you a point. The person with the most points wins [first prize]!
Last year I taught the following classes:
1. AS-Level English Language - eight (8) students - therefore eight guesses needed
2. A-Level English Language - 21 students - therefore 21 guesses needed
3. AS-Level Creative Writing - 10 students - therefore 10 guesses needed
If you could submit your entry in the following format it would make things easier for me (I'll be inputting all the entries onto a spreadsheet):
1. A: B: C: D: E: U:
2. A*: A: B: C: D: E: U:
3. A: B: C: D: E: U:
The only entry requirements is that you have to have been a member of the forum prior to today and have a minimum post count of 50.
THE PRIZES!
I'll probably add some more as I continue clearing out but first up are a bunch of mini-rigs, in played with condition but would be okay to use in diaramas or to give the kids top play with. All are complete apart from the sail on the skiff and the gun from CAP-2.
A couple of SW books - the novelisation and another one
Some vintage instructions, card back and cut outs from card backs
Closing date for the competition is midnight on the 13 August (results are published at 6am on the 14 August). I will post up redacted screenshots from the e-AQA website which will show the grades (but obviously not the names!)
Good luck and have fun guessing!
As Boba Skinner suggested just copy and paste his entry and put your own predictions in there! I guess not a lot of you guys fill in betting coupons!b :lol:
P.S. Some contextual information - I work in the North West of England in a small Sixth Form which is part of a large FE College. Massive range of abilities are catered for, some really bright kids and some, um, less so!
