Thanks, Frank. May just be my ignorance... I'm not much into sports, in fact, I don't watch any sport. I can watch real football (soccer) and enjoy it to a degree, but I honestly couldn't care less about it.
So, it could just be that. Maybe most sport-lovers in my country would know what it meant. Seems like it would be a US only thing. There's too much religion in it for us Brits, I think. We'd prefer to say something like 'a one in a million shot' or similar.
I've only heard the term comes from sport, never watched it or followed it. I've mostly heard the term in films and TV when describing some desperate long shot as a "hail Mary" - don't think there's a British equivalent - mostly I'd just call it a fluke lol
Thanks everyone for weighing in. Seems I was correct in worrying about the title and its connection to the script. So, great title for a US release. Less so for international.
I do love that this place makes me think about how something will play someplace besides the US. We Americans can be a little (lot) self-focused.

My personal scoresheet, based on the simple math of adding up finishing places and dividing by the number of rounds... has Richard second, to you, after 3 rounds.
My system shows 1. Warren, 2. Richard, 3. Paul 4. Rene.
Of course, we have no idea what the actual script scores are, but using the info we have available to us... that's my guess.
So, if you're defending from me... you might be looking in the wrong direction!

I should add... my scoring actually shows Rene and Mathew tied. Gary and Anthony are close behind at 6/7.
Again, has nothing to do with the actual scoring... just based on average finish through 3 rounds.

At this point, I wish I was tied in 4th lol
I think basing it on position in the standings might be a bit skewed as I feel round 1 probably had a lot less total points given than the other two rounds - so ultimately I think round 1 is worth less to the total overall scoring than round 2 and 3 - but I don't know, I'm just guessing

I hear ya'.
My scoring is definitely not accurate, for the reason you suggest. I just thought it'd be fun to see what a rough standings might look like, and that was the only system I could think of.
Maybe we're all tied at the top! Pandemonium!

your method still puts people in the rough area of the standings - You, Warren and Rick are most likely the top three - Anthony, Rene and Gary are looking like they are in a position to be able to close in on the last 2 rounds, while I am desperately trying to hang on to a chance lol
