2013 North Atlantic tropical season contest -- provisional contest results

[metalicwx366]

Ugh, August was a fail. I know I'm somewhere near the bottom. Oh well.

September 8/6/3.

Seasonal 16/8/4 from 20/12/4.

[hurricaneman]

September 6\3\2

seasonal: no change

[andyhb]

September: 4/2/1.5

 

Season changed to 13/4/2.5

[Ed Lizard]

I'm waiting four or five more days...

 

Needing 12 storms and 9 hurricanes, I may edit my season totals even lower.

[Stebo]

4/3/1 for Sept

 

Revision down to 14/7/3 for the year.

[yoda]

Revision downward to 14/6/2 for seasonal

 

4/2/1 for Sept

[Superstorm93]

I wanted to do this for July, but oh well.

 

Season: 14/5/2

 

Sept: 5/3/1

[Roger Smith]

August now at 2/0/0 thanks to the incredibly brief rampage of Fernand (El Scorebooster).

 

My September very optimistic guess is 6/4/2

 

Revise seasonal to 17/7/3

 

note to all entrants: okay to edit your forecasts up to 06z Sep 1 without notification as I start making up tables of entries after the deadline. Edit after deadline should not happen, instead post a new set of numbers, I will compare them to on-time entry and penalties will apply to either set if they change, but not to seasonal if that is not updated. My procedure is to verify all entries in table of entries around 5th or 6th after final deadline, any changes noted after that review could be late edits and will not be substituted into tables. Please check the September updated table around the 4th or 5th and verify your entries.

If we can get the eastern Atlantic wave to get named before the end of the month I could see August ending up as 3/1/0... would allow at least the low guesses to save face

Here's my prediction for September based on 10-day Euro output: 1/0/0

[Roger Smith]

Thanks to the lack of named storms over the past two days and the rules as clarified, late entrants are only looking at a 19% late penalty at this hour and about 30% by Tuesday morning, and half those amounts applied to seasonal updates (which aren't worth that much anyhow) so get in there if you're late, you haven't dropped as many points as you might have thought. I will post a table of September updates and entries tomorrow. Scores for August can be found a few posts back.

September seasonal consensus is based on all forecasts including non-updated. The consensus of updated forecasts is 15, 6, 3.

 

If you have been active in the contest and missed September, penalties are relaxed, at the moment you're looking at about 40% -- looks to me as though almost all regular players have updated so, next stop is the October and Nov-Dec forecasts due October 1st.

[Roger Smith]

Well I think we're at 3/1/0 (and 9/1/0 seasonal) but keep an eye on my counts because I'm away from home and not on line very often this month.

 

I also see that official forecasts place the count at 3/2/0 in a few days. So this gives a bit of hope to some of us perhaps.

 

What would you say is the max landfall in US so far? I have a foggy recollection of a TS landfall earlier. That category may end up with some bizarro answer like cat-1 northwest FL December 1st. I've been searching in vain for sure signs of my e-NC cat-3 end of next week, unless Humberto wants to go nuts.

[Ed Lizard]

May not be any majors to confuse the scoring.

[Roger Smith]

I think it is safe to say that we are all getting our asses kicked by Normal and he's getting his kicked by Normal 1851-1880 or something similar. Oh well ...

 

If you would care to endure one final round of ritual humiliation, all that is now left to do in this somewhat revised format is to predict the October storm count and make a second prediction for the combined Nov-Dec season-ending additional count.

 

Under the rules in this contest, you don't have another chance to update your seasonal forecast, that last chance expired with September's update.

 

So just post something in this format, which happens to be my current idea for Oct and Nov-Dec:

 

OCT 3,2,1

 

NOV-DEC 1,1,1

 

The October portion is worth 20 points and the Nov-Dec part is all of 2 points if you're right.

 

Good luck, thanks for playing, and look for some updated scoring soon after September ends (sitting at 3,2,0 ... I think). I will post some preliminary seasonal scoring by early November with conditional scores available for hypothetical increases to follow that late date in the season.

 

The deadline for these final forecasts of the contest will be 06z October 1st, with full penalty mode in force as that's a Tuesday.
