Who is going to Win Moomba?

[Horton]

I set up a contest like what we did for Acapulco. I am a little behind schedule so we will only be able to take entries for a few days.

 

Entries will start now and be open until the first skier hits the water Friday.

 

Put down your bets entries here

[Horton]

If you missed the thread about the Mexico event here is the link

[Horton]

Update - I do not see T-Gas on the entry list. I have no idea if he is there.

 

If you bet on T-Gas and he does not show I will just refund your bet. Same with other skiers.

[MattP]

Tgas was skiing in FL yesterday. Could be leaving last minute but that is very last minute.

[ampacdan]

I have enterred the contest. Is there any webcast for this?

[Jody_Seal]

Being I am an official at this event I would have to say all the entrants are winners as the Yarra River is not the friendly tournament site's that we all have come to enjoy!

Good luck to all the skiers young and elite!

[Horton]

A few entries are in. Thinking the it would be fun to see a new face on the top step. I am putting $20 on the field. (this includes Nick Adams)

[SM]

Is Andy skiing with the pro's or the Big Dawg?

[Horton]

I think Pro but no one tells me anything

[SM]

Is there going to be a BD pool?

[MattP]

Andy is skiing open

[MattP]

Big Dawgs on the Molmba website

 

Ricard Storelee USA

Greg Badel USA

Eric Kelly USA

John Adams Aust

Peter Cornale Aust

Robbie Alexander South Africa

[Horton]

If that is the whole list they all better buy Greg a lot of drinks the night before.

[Horton]

[MattP]

@Horton TGas is going.

[MattP]

Just to make sure y'all ballers know. OM/OW/BD skiing at Moomba starts 8:00AM Friday (Local) which will be Thursday around 5:00PM EST 2:00PM on the left side. They ski in the future there still blows my mind! Make sure you have all your entries in by then. BallOfScores will have the stream and entires will close when the first score comes in.

@Horton

[Ryno]

@MattP it is strange that the world time zone doesn't start in the US and work backwards from there, after all, you yanks are the centre of the universe.

We also use the archaic metric system down here, though hopefully we'll "catch up" to you one day! ; )

[BraceMaker]

I agree. Central time must be the Holy Grail of time zones. Must be too dark at noon everywhere else.

[Horton]

@Ryno that is a good idea.

[Wish]

maybe this was asked but is there a web cast?

[Horton]

@Wish read up the page

[thager]

Panda?

[Horton]

almost but not quite

[Wish]

ya I deserve one. haven't gotten one yet. kinda feeln left out. maybe if I spell Skis...Skies again I'll get one.

[Horton]

Back on topic - There is about 75 doll hairs in the pool so far

[ForrestGump]

I wouldn't put it past mapple to bust a move on the field in Open.

[BraceMaker]

I took some futures on JT.

[MattP]

Will.

Nick A

Mapps

Over 30 skiers there I believe. It's also Moomba anything can happen.

[auskier]

Hard to go past Will. He has had a rough time here the past few years and will be out to take it. Hometown boy Nick will turn heads after some average moomba's in recent years.

Who knows what andy will do?! I say bomb out in prelims or make podium. A lot of those lads wont have seen 'the man' at work on the banks at moomba. He had it won before he put his rearfoot in the kicker most years..

[MattP]

Mens Slalom will start at 8:45PM Friday EST or Saturday 11:45AM Local. @Horton

[Murrski]

@Horton - Can your galactic servers archive live streams such as the Moomba Masters? Just curious... I won't be able to watch live. Be cool to have the top tour stops on video archive but I'm sure that would require some more Kilo Kai donations!

[Horton]

@Murrski

I have a TON of server space but it is up to the webcast organizer. If it is archived ustream would host it.

 

They have not contacted me about streaming. I will just grab it if I can.

[Murrski]

@Horton - you da man!

[Horton]

almost 100 in the pool

[schroed]

Did you guys forget about Nate Smith? I put an "entry" down for Nate. He won just about everything last year.

[woolly110]

womens slalom about to start.

 

[Wish]

Anyone streaming smoothly? Wasn't sure if it was my end?

[MattP]

Mapple skiing open and big dawg

[bishop8950]

@wish stream is rough for me, barely watchable

[Wish]

Ok....Still fun to watch/hear. Andy is the man.

[bishop8950]

agreed. How did Badal do, I missed that

[Wish]

3 at 39 I believe. Might have gone down around 3. They kept saying 3. Tough to say. Was like watching still photos every half second. Heard them say he was down when the webcast was stuck at ball 2. Then just saw him floating. 2nd place though. Was that the finals for BD or just a prelim?

[bishop8950]

thanks. Last year there was a H2H and assume the same this time around

[Horton]

I think it is about start so I am adding 20 on Parsons.

 

[Horton]

Well hell it looks like the guys to not ski for another 24 hours. Keep betting if you want. I am working on the odds nows
