Are you sure you'll be able to keep track of all the different card tallies? The version I used for the Euros, where all reds were worth exactly two, was a lot easier.

I liked the Euro system. Mainly because I did well :lol:

A mediocre start for me this season, hope the second round is better for me or the RNG may have a go

Thank god I've had another decent week 8-) as it looks as though Callysleeper is after the title (according to my rough calculations, he's scored maximum bonus this week).

Excel tells me 37 points with ten correct results but no correct scores. Would have liked to have had at least one or two for my efforts!

Plus full bonus for correctly predicting points gained by the home teams and away goals. All in all, not a bad first entry of the season!

That is impressive. Hard luck no correct results. It happens from time to time and not as rare as we might think.

49+ points in one round is seriously good.

I wonder if that will be a new tactic for Ivo, seeing as he didn't do that badly in the first round :lol: But ....

12 correct results? :shock: :P 8-)

13 in fact. ;)

Hugely peed off seeing that Beeb have apparently backed down on the latest change and restored match stats for every game, so the cards idea could have worked. <(

Has been done before so not entirely surprising. I think the record is currently 57 points or something like that (Ivo will know), but still seriously good.

Season 3, Round 19. Topped off with a six-point attendance bonus for an overall tally of 63.

I liked the Euro system. Mainly because I did well :lol:

You got lucky in the Euros :lol: Set for the wooden spoon but for a one-off fluke.

You can rest assured that, come next Summer, it won't happen again - partly because I will change the bonus system to ensure that it doesn't.

Ok, what have I done right (for once)?

4th week of the new season, and by my calculations, a mere low 30s score in week 3 is my worst of the season (so far) :D

Sorry about the delay. I have been away the last few days. I will do the scoring tonight so keep your eyes open for them. :)

I'm going to look for wooden kitchenware. Perhaps the RNG should make a return :lol:

Bonus points are letting me down this season. I may as well hoist the white flag now!

It's still too early to give up! There is a change of leader in round 5 ....

I'm not giving up! But realistically, I surrender any ideas I might have had about winning!

I should be the one complaining about bonus points. :(

Well done CallySleeper.

Looks like having consolidated top-dog status in Round 7.

What do all of these "P" bonuses (shown in the League Tables) mean please? Does it indicate being within bonus range but predicting higher than the correct value (as per Price is Right) as discussed before?

P as in "precision", but your understanding is correct. Only awarded to people 1 over by definition. You won't get any bonus if 2 or more over, so you can think of it like a consolation prize.

Is it just me or did anyone else have a terrible round in which all their results went the other way?

You can't seriously be moaning with 35 points.

Glad to see I've broken a record! :lol:
Must come close to the all time lowest score.

Nowhere near yet. ;)

I think it was 14 but I can't really be bothered to check. Ivo will know. I've had a few mares in the past too. I had 17 once I remember.

Actually I don't know and I can't be bothered to trawl through almost 900 posts for the answer! I'll check later, when I'm trying to keep myself awake in time for Korean GP Qualifying.

From the main thread:

I can't be bothered to do proper predictions today so I'm going to put some faith in Danny and keep all of his predictions - except one (with bonuses adjusted accordingly). No prizes for guessing which <D

That's cheating! :-x

My response:

Meh :lol:

No, seriously, I have got a lot to do at present and sometimes I need to take shortcuts. I'm currently working on a secret project (known to only one other person on this forum) and it is taking up a lot of my time...
