British Columbia against Saskatchewan.

Okay sports fans and punters, here is my coin toss divination of the 2007 British Columbia - Saskatchewan Western Final that will be played Sunday in Vancouver, Canada.  The winner will meet, if the first results of my dissimilation are correct, Toronto in the Grey Cup.  The rules:  Each team get nine turns.  On each turn, you score points by tossing heads but if you get a tail your turn is over.  Most points wins. 

Saskatchewan will toss first.  I am using the flipper at random.org.

Saskatchewan gets four heads.  Score: Saskatchewan 4, B.C. coming to toss.

B.C. gets one head.  Score: Sask 4,  B.C. 1 after one turn.

Second turn: Sask gets one head.   B.C. tosses a tail.  Sask 5, BC 1.

Third turn:  Sask tosses a tail. BC tosses a head.  Sask 5, BC 2.

Fourth turn:  Sask tosses 2 heads.  BC tosses a tail.  Sask 7, BC 2.

Fifth turn: Sask tosses 4 heads.  BC tosses a tail.  Sask 11, BC 2.

Is it turning into a rout?

Sixth turn: Sask tosses a tail.  BC tosses 5 heads.  Sask 11, BC 7.

Seventh turn:  Sask tosses 2 heads.  BC tosses 1 head.  Sask 13, BC 8.

Eighth turn:  Sask tosses 1 head.  BC tosses a tail.  Sask 14, BC 8.

Saskatchewan's ninth turn:   they toss a head.  So the score: Sask 15, BC 8.

So BC has to get 7 heads on its last turn.  Can they do it?

BC tosses a tail.  Game over!  Saskatchewan goes to the Grey Cup with a 15 to 8 victory.

Here is the final line score.

                                                 F

Sask  4 1 0  2 4 0  2 1 1   15

B.C.  1 0 1  0 0 5  1 0 0    8

So the coins say Saskatchewan will play Toronto in the 2007 Grey Cup.
