Gilde "Austria Red Devils" » A new scheduling format is required

Now that weve revealed the Top 20 Moments in Indian Sport, its time to disclose how the list was picked. The first step was the most democratic way possible -- asking everybody on our desk to send in their top 30 moments. We collated all the entries - more than 75 -- and then whittled them down to a shortlist of 30, which we forwarded to each member of our panel.The panelists -- five in-house, 26 from outside?-- were given the shortlist but advised that they could introduce their own personal preferences, and we got a few of those too. Suggestions from outside included Paralympian Devendra Jhajharias world record, Anita Sood crossing the English Channel and Gama Pehelwan winning the world championship in 1911.Their rankings, once in, were given inversely proportionate values -- so No. 1 got 20 points, No. 2 19, and so on. There were some instances where the panellist couldnt separate two moments; the rankings were then put on a leaderboard and the weightage points split equally.Abhinav Bindras gold in Beijing was the outright winner -- winning both the maximum number of votes, as well as the most No 1 ratings. Other moments that were ranked No. 1 in individual lists were the 1983 World Cup win, Prakash Padukones All-England win, Viswanathan Anands 2007 world title, Indias first Olympic hockey gold in 1928 (though some panellists did point out that they ranked Indias first as an independent nation in 1948 at par), Khashaba Jadhavs bronze in 1952 and Ramanathan Krishnans 1960 appearance at the Wimbledon semifinals.Two moments narrowly missed out on the top 20 but were rated No 1 by at least one panellist -- the Indian cricket teams overseas series wins in West Indies and England in 1971, and the 1911 IFA Shield triumph by Mohun Bagan. (For the record, two other cricket moments - the 2007 World Twenty20 and the 2001 Kolkata Test - were farther down the list.)If Bindra made it to every panellists list, then Krishnans 1960 run was only in 12 out of 31 lists; indicative that all rankings achieved were fairly high. In contrast, there were six moments beyond the 20 that had as many or more votes than this one. Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathis run of four successive Grand Slam doubles finals in 1999 featured on 17 lists, and Vijender Singhs 2012 Olympic bronze got 16 votes, but both missed out on the top 20 as their cumulative points werent high enough.Lastly, if we calculate a weighted mean of all votes received and how each moment performed with respect to that mean, there were only eight moments whose average ratings were so high that they compensated for appearing on relatively fewer lists. In ascending order of mean votes, these moments were those involving Krishnan, Anju Bobby George, Wilson Jones, Indias 1962 Asian Games winning football team, Pullela Gopichand, Jadhav, Leander Paes and the 1928 Olympic hockey team.These were the tough, often excruciating, parts of this exercise. The huge positive was the groundswell of goodwill from our panel and the furious debates the list generated and will hopefully continue to generate in the days to come. Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Nere . Vaives lawyer Trevor Whiffen claims the former 50-goal man wasnt provided with a copy of the claim beforehand and that he would not have agreed to the allegations made against the NHL had he been asked to review its contents.

Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland. Lee shot a 69 for a 12-under 204 total. "I just love the fact I am in contention and have an opportunity in my first tournament of the year here in Abu Dhabi," Mickelson said. http://www.yeezy350v2italia.it/ .

Notre Dame?is also required to play an average of five ACC teams annually.A new scheduling format is required by 2019 because the ACC Network will be launching that year. ESPNs new deal with the ACC requires the ACC to either expand the league schedule to nine games and play at least one nonconference Power 5 opponent or remain at eight ACC games and play at least two nonconference Power 5 opponents.The nine conference games plan would affect?Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech?and Louisville?the most. The four ACC schools have annual rivalries against SEC opponents (Clemson-South Carolina, FSU-Florida, Georgia Tech-Georgia and Louisville-Kentucky), meaning that in the season when they had Notre Dame on their schedule, 11 of their 12 games would already be determined, so they could only add one nonleague game.ddddddddddddThe Big 12, Pac-12 and Big Ten, starting this year, all have nine conference games.

If Im at Florida State, Id want eight. At Miami, I want nine league games. ' ' '
