    (Bonus — predict location of MAX, correct = 10/10, location of 2nd highest temp 9/10, etc. )

    Deadline as always 0300 of 1st (July), late penalties 1 point every 4 hours or significant fraction, to 36h, then 1 point per hour.

    Note: for location of max, choose from the 25 locations normally listed on met.ie website for daily data. A non-included location will be assigned to one of those at organizer's discretion.

    Con Sensus scores for location based on distribution of forecasts, to be determined. Normal scores based on climatology. All daily temps will be monitored to get a top ten list, it won't just be top ten on day max is set (but that of course will determine first place in top ten).

    =======================

    Locations for MAX (and scores for Con Sensus if correct) _

    Phoenix Park ______ 9 __ (scores 10)

    Oak Park _________ 8 __ (scores 9)

    Mountdillon _______ 2 __ (scores 5)

    Shannon, Newport,

    Casement, Mullingar _ 1 _ (scores 3)

    If none of above, Con scores zero.

    If PP or OP are not first but score above assigned score for top location, Con will score +1 relative to lower assigned score.

    Your score will be rank of your pick in top ten … given small number of picks, non-picks will count in scoring. For example, let's say moorepark is 3rd warmest, no bonus scores of 8 will be awarded, ties of picked and unpicked locations will be ignored, and ranks will be exclusive of ties, so if let's say Oak Park and Newport and tied second for 9 points, next on list will count 8 not seven points.

    NormaL will score 10 for PP, 9 for OP or Shannon, 8 for Mountdillon, 7 for Casement, 6 for Moorepark, 5 for Dublin, Mullingar or Dunsany, 4 for Athenry, Claremorris or Newport, and 1 to 3 for any other.
