Predictocomp table 2021-22

Next year should we stop the forecasting of scores as to some extend it skews the results and many just play the odds (i.e 2 . 1 etc) rather than use good judgement?

On yours & the Dale one 😎

We’ll come back to this at the end of the season. I think it needs a refresh and a bit less work for me. We’ll come back to it then.

If you think this is hard, ours is worse…

5 games as standard Prem - Lg 2 + a Scottish one… recently introduced a bonus point fixture as well…

All need a score
3 points for a correct one
1 point for if it’s a W D or L (incorrect score)
1 point only for correct on the bonus

😀

Talking of work for you Griff…

I know if people go AWOL there is the dne & Eob thing where minimum points are added each week…

If the postponed games had been played in the correct week then this surely would have had an influence on the lowest score so I think I may be owed some missing points..

Can you get your spreadsheet out & correct this please & thanks 👍

I have attached a revised table on the basis you suggest, having deducted points awarded for correct scores.

The original scores prior to the deductions are in brackets at the end.

I can't see that it would change anything significantly.

The cream will always rise to the top!

1 Howoldboy (23)..….……-152 (198)
2 Tricky (14)……………..…..-142 (170)
3 Griff (11)…………….…..….-141 (163)
4 NZBlue (17)………………..-138 (172)
5 Davee (9)………….………..-130 (148)
6 Cayambe (9)………..……-129 (147)
7 Southblue (12)…………. -127 (151)
8 Nobby (14)………………….-126 (154)

As far as I can see all of the postponed games so far this season were in weeks where both you and Chalky submitted an entry.

As such you have both been awarded all of the points due to you.

Having said that you have raised an interesting question. Coastlineblue, Altobelli and Crushalime did not submit entries in any of the weeks where there were postponed games so arguably they could have a case to argue along the lines you suggest.

However on the basis that none of them (in at least one case for a very obvious reason) have submitted an entry for many weeks, it is highly unlikely that they will complain about this and even if they did it would make very little difference to their chances of winning the competition.
