I do have one more suggestion. How about a table showing the accumulative total that each of us guesses. My reason for having this is so those who go for high guesses get rewarded somehow. The table would only use this column to divide joint scores.

So for example, if I guess 60 for 4 weeks, I have a total of 240 in this column. If I score 55 every week I'll have -20 points.

If Someone else guesses 75 every week (300 points) and then score 70 each week they'll also have -20 points.

At this point the higher guesser would be placed above me for their 'better' performance.

It would also rule against those who didn't enter each week (not sure how you're dealing with that problem).

Sounds good Spencer4 i will put this in place after the 3 week trial, providing of course everbody wants me to carry it on. Definately a good idea for the inivatable tie breaker that will arise :wink:

Some excellent guesses this week (not by me) well played, heres the table for gw 25.

Spencer4 · **Posted:** 08 Feb 2010, 11:46

Ooops, totally forgot about this last week sorry. I saw that I'd posted on the thread and took that for a prediction, but it was some detail or other instead.

Makes it fairer on everyone else though :wink:

Jim Royle · **Posted:** 08 Feb 2010, 11:58

No worries Spence i am only doing it until next week then i am going to run it from gw1 next season, it still needs a polish but i am getting there. Cheers Shaun.

Ironfist · **Posted:** 08 Feb 2010, 12:34

Updated Overall Points Prediction Table

This game is bloody awful! :mrgreen:

For every mistake you make, say out by 20+ points in prediction, the penalty is huge. However when you make a decent 3-10 out prediction, you gain very little unless your opponents have also fncked up big time. It's a pure defensive game, taking the least amount of knocks and staying on yer feet. Arrggghhhh... 8-)

grob · **Posted:** 09 Feb 2010, 13:21

In GW24 I predicted 74 and got 59
In GW25 I predicted 53 and got 74

So I'm mid table.

I think the error must lie somewhere within the spreadsheets I've developed for this game.

Jim Royle · **Posted:** 09 Feb 2010, 14:11

This is the last week you will all have to suffer this game, i will start it up again at the start of next season i obviously have a lot of work to do on it

. I spent a long while doing the tables and spreadsheets. I am sure there is an easy way to do all this but i am a bricklayer and not a computer wizz kid :oops:

If someone would like to help me run it next season that would be great

I am also going to look at the rules and draw up a more user friendly looking rule book for the game next season, so if you have any more ideas let me know and if anyone could give us a hand in drafting that, that to would be awesome. Many thanks Shaun.
