Did I win?
It was fun while it lasted…
Round 8 - A shortened round but still not many points
After the postponements of Round 7 round 8 saw a shortened week with only 7 games going ahead. This lead to a poor points week with only 1 player, @Cobham-Saint, getting a slam point. This also means that said player also wins this week’s
by a clear 2.5 points.
@Cobham-Saint predicted 5 of the 7 games correctly, with 1 exact. Not bad for the hebdomadal loser.
Bottom this week is our man in Poland @Polski_Filip, I suspect that unless he has made Round 9’s predictions already he will be bottom in Week 9 as well. Poor old Phil managed just 2 results, 1 close and earned himself 2½ points. Go @Polski_Filip

An aberration of a round. Normal service to be resumed in next round .
Round 9 - An age ordered weekly table??
Well with the oldest forum member at the top and the youngest at the bottom it could well be.
Congrats to @lifeintheslowlane on gaining his first
of this year’s competition with a commendable 7 out of 10 results predicted, none exact though. In fact this week only one person got more the 1 exact score and they only got 2 results after that (4/10), however it did put @Polski_Filip in 3rd place.
@DellBoy was unlucky to come in 2nd with 7/10 results predicted, however he was beaten by @lifeintheslowlane getting 1 more Close
Bottom of this week’s stack, with just 1 result predicted, is the forum’s baby @SimplySaint, have a

Round 10 - A Return to Form for @Cobham-saint
After coming second last round @dellboy has upped his game and won this week’s round quite convincingly, he scored a good 18 points with 8 of the 10 games predicted correctly, 3 exact and 4 close.
@NumptyBoi comes second 15.5 points with 1 less result than @Dellboy.
Bottom of this week’s stack and in his favourite place is @Cobham-Saint, they did correctly predict 3 of the results though so I suppose they should get some praise, not just a

So, the first time for a long time we have a consecutive winner of the

@PhilippineSaint grabs this week’s
with both hands, coming bottom by a massive 1pt from yours truly, 2 results out of 10 is not really that good.

Round 13 - The Flightless Bird Soars
Hmm 13 points was enough for @PhilippineSaint to win last round, this round is won with an even lower score of 12½ points, only 5 of the games predicted with 3 exact sees @TheMightyOstrich beat @SimplySaint by 1½ points, @SimplySaint got 6 games predicted but not as close as @TheMightyOstrich.
Strangely I was 3rd with 7½ points from 5 results predicted, getting exacts is key people!!
