I might just post mine on this thread and would hope that there is no collusion between you and skull.

No.

PM me your prediction like I have ordered.

147 + 4 + 2 = 153

Might have to toss a coin then. Anyway, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Smart wins in what is probably the biggest shock in prediction contest history.

Well Done Smart. I don't know how but you somehow managed to overcome your more illustrious rivals to claim a massive upset win. Skullman dominated for the most part, but just when it seemed like history was beckoning, he faultered/choked/bottled, thus allowing Smart to steal in like a thief in the night to take a title he had no right to win.

Smart, well played sir. Enjoy it, savour the moment! 

This sets things up nicely for the upcoming World Championships where Smart is now surely a contender. Probably. Maybe.

Just a word on myself now. I think most would agree that this has been a spectacularly run contest - One of the best ever in fact.

It has been a joy and a pleasure, and hopefully you lot will once again have the privilige of me being TD for a contest in the near future.
