Pirate Records, Rankings and Shieldholders

If it motivates you - then yes.

Although I've heard that Rosey is "hung" so be careful what you wish for.

I never saw this thread first time round but it is funny. At least the points system is clear enough. I won the summer series 6 mile handicap at our club and scored zero ranking points- proving my suspicions that it is a totally random thing devised by a guy at our club to punish those he doesn't like and cause infighting. I stopped speaking to Dave when he went one point ahead of me in the rankings, he's back where he belongs now, so I love him again.

And furthermore- what makes you think I will let people off? am I really that soft?

I guess I'm either going to have to crack 12 hours at IMDE or do another IM next year so I can avoid being a scurvey dog.

candy ollier

it's a term of endearment, landlubber

Godzilla

I'm the only plank doing this year - hurrah

candy ollier

you need a sub-12 to get back on schedule

Godzilla

or a sheild <contacts fixer>

or to not really worry

Godzilla

I'm quite happy being a mediocre pirate - just this one IM will be enough for now

debbo

I've got the shield from TC - it's engraved and all.

Godzilla

Don't think i'll be getting that one debbo

Godzilla

and i din't qualify for the other

Suffolk Punch

Thought I'd better have a scout around seeing as the great hairy orange ape has talked me into doing IM next year (the missus has given her blessing too!). The worst bit is he didn't even get me drunk this time. I just kind of nodded my head like a zombie in agreement....

Yeah - thought this was good, by the points system that makes me a scurvey dog. Although I reckon I'm due additional points for (nearly) getting the fireworks and making the others hang around for sevral hours at the end!

Surely you get -1 for having a green bike and -2 for down tube shifters.

Suffolk Punch

One has to stand out in a crowd...

Updated following some fantastic performances at Germany.....

SHIELD HOLDERS (until the next official annual Pirate IM competition - IM Austria 2007)

Fastest Finisher 145
2006 = Admiral Rosey
2005 = Junior Pirate Count

Best Novice 145
2006 = Scurvey Dog Ergo
2005 = Semen Barlist



The Rank system. On a points basis, where only IM distance or longer counts for points. Its not a knitting club. 1 point per IM finish. 1 bonus point for doing the extra hard ones (norseman, lanzarote and [but only if you get in by the honourable route, qualification] hawaii). 2 points for double IM finish. 3 points for Triple, 5 points for Deca. 1 bonus point for every time you win a shield or set a record (above). 1 bonus point for becoming "reasonably competent" (i.e. the first time you crack 12 hours). 1 bonus point for becoming "outstanding" (i.e. the first time you crack 10 hours). -1 point for a DNF (its not a quitting club). Note that if you miss cut off but still finish the course (even if it takes 20 hours) then you still get the point.

-1 plank
0 landlubber
1 scurvey dog

5 2nd mate
6 1st mate

Order of merit (4 points or more)

1. 4 parrot Admiral Rosey [6 finish + 1 reasonably competent + 1 outstanding + 2 records + 1 bonus norseman + 1 shield = 12]

2. 2 parrot Admiral Candy [8 finish + 1 reasonably competent + 1 bonus lanzarote = 10]

3. Captain Monique [4 finish + 1 reasonably competent + 2 record + 1 bonus hawaii = 8]

4=. Commander IronMike [6 finish + 1 reasonably competent = 7]

4=. Commander Smithy [5 finish + 1 reasonably competent + 1 bonus norseman = 7]

4=. Commander RichardM [5 finish + 1 bonus lanzarote + 1 reasonably competent = 7]


(that's on my belief that smithy did TLD twice. i'm sure he'll set the record straight if not)

candy ollier

maybe slummo should feature on that list too?

candy ollier

dammit, i can't add up. there is of course a deliberate mistake in ergo's rank.

candy ollier

oh and BTW, no -1 points for the people who got DQd on sunday. as the german police were forcing you off the bike course, i think we'll let you off. (main me as it does not to get to demote barlist again)

candy ollier

err, _pain me_

cougie

Any points for getting DQ'd on the pedalos ?

candy ollier

Updated for Mellsy's hawaii qualification! Awesome.

Godzilla

Not quite an IM, but Spans competed in the BTA national Aquathon in Salford on saturday. Small but very tough field - I now have a fair idea what the next few years elites look like - most of them are off to the worlds.

She came second in her age group and has a very heavy BTA medal and a T-shirt. (Very proud sherpa. I also got a nice t-shirt, but i was £10 in the nike outlet store next to the event.)

I'll let her do the race report, but needless to say she's not laughing at me for being dizzy coming out of the water at the Vit this year.

Bouncing Barlist

I wasnt dizzy coming out of the water at IMDE, surprising given id been swimming for 1:45.. maybe you get used to it?

So next year if I complete 3 x IM inc Lanza and become reasonably competant I could be a commander )

candy ollier

go sub 10 and 'win' both austria and florida and you get to nick rosey's special hat

[Deleted User]

Spans just came 1st in the Grim '06 - her first outright race win!

Pirate T-shirt on display.

I'm very proud, she's very happy but shattered.

F.oggy

All that bloody effort in Germany and I get called a scurvey dog!
I can lay on the sofa and do bugger all and Mrs Foggy calls me much more impressive names!

[Deleted User]

Think yourself lucky i've done 1 whole ironman and 125km of another and i'm a landlubber....

Keg-Killer (M.) A.K.A. FeKK

Congrats Spans!!!!!
