I feel that I should explain to the Premiership players that the bonus ball should be played on the game that they are most confident of predicting correctly. It's a chance to gain an extra point but playing it on a game you're less sure of means that you run the risk of losing 3 points. What makes me think this explanation is necessary is that this week saw a complete wipe-out on the bonus ball with every single player getting it wrong - yes, randomly using a pin would probably have led to a better result!

In contrast the gamball proved more predictable (at least for some) with only 1 player losing points on it. One player, Stairs, got the gamball score correct ....but didn't play it.

Once again Minizin heads the table as the only player to achieve a double figure score from 2 correct scores from his 4 results. Stairs, Derby and SCO all scored 9 points but in very different fashion. Stairs would have been top but..well you know by now, Derby only got 3 correct scores and SCO failed to turn any of his 4 correct results into a maximum. Blue sits just a point back as he missed out on the scoreball.

The bottom 3 are a bit adrift. In contrast to Stairs, Sanjay would have been bottom if he'd chosen to play the gamball while Snooty only scored on 1 game- the gamball. Once again Zinman also took part but may be asking himself why he bothered (if only Plymouth had scored a last minute equaliser he'd have been top!)

Minizin 214
Derby 198
Zinman 190
Snooty 176
Stairs 174
Blue 164
SCO 146
Sanjay 136


Only one change this week with Zinman losing his share of 2nd place. Minizin extends his lead at the top but otherwise, not a lot to say.

Echoing my observations at the start of this report, the gamball has now generated more premiership points than the bonus - in Derby's case by a huge margin of 40 points. Derby and Stairs are both in negative territory from this free choice ball with Zinman soon to join them unless he can get his act together.

Championship

BaggieOne 12pts 1CS 2CR 5GB 3BB 0SB
Themaclad 10pts 1CS 3CR 5GB -3BB 0SB
AAA 6pts 1CS 2CR -3GB 3BB 0SB
Lady Jane 6pts 0CS 3CR 5GB -3BB 0SB
Dingle 4pts 0CS 2CR 5GB -3BB 0SB
BBB 3pts 0CS 3CR -3GB NPBB 0SB
Amelia 1pts 0CS 3CR -3GB -3BB 1SB
Twerton -2pts 1CS 0CR -3GB -3BB 0SB

As Zinman so eloquently stated the playing of certain balls is down to the judgement of the participants to play them on their most confident predictions!!  While the Championship did slightly better than the PL on the Bonus with 2 players scoring positive points on it, only one person managed to pick a game where both teams scored!!  One player forgot to play either of them at all!!

BaggieOne is back at the top of the table this week with 12 points.  He actually only scored on 3 games but he got one of only 4 CSs this week and his two CRs were on the Gamball and Bonus.  Themaclad is a couple of points back, like B1 he was one of 4 players to get a CR on the Gamball. (Btw - shame on those who didn't see an Owls win on the Gamball this week!!! Whistle And thank you to Zin for not making our game this week the Gamball.) AAA is third along with Lady Jane on 6 points, they got there in completely different ways though!

Dingle is 5th with just 4 points, he has room to spare to be able to have the odd down week especially when the top score is not even into the teens!  BBB got just 3 points and I fancy that he would have scored zero had he remembered to play his Bonus, first warning for him for neglecting to play it!! 

Amelia and Twerton are the bottom 2 again but this time Amelia is in the positive points, thanks to being the only player to score on the Scoreball and Twerton is heading backwards again.

231 Dingle
210 Lady Jane
205 BaggieOne
189 AAA
179 BBB
152 Themaclad
123 Amelia
117 Twerton


Zero positional changes this week and not much else with the scores being so low.  Still a number of position up for grabs for any player that can go on a good run!!

Echoing Zinman, the Gamball has seen nearly 7 times the points awarded when compared to the Bonus Ball but even with just one point this week the Scoreball is still leading the way!

Cheers
SCO
Huh Huh Huh Huh  DO I GET AN EXTRA BONUS AND SCORE BALL THIS WEEK?  COS I WAS PUT OFF SEEING ALL THOSE DOLLY GIRLS IN CUSTUMS Doh
I am convinced I am better off with my approach. Laugh

Don't use it, you lose it!! Besides, with your record on the Bonus you probably saved yourself from negative points. But bear in mind the Bonus ball is compulsory, so I must issue you with a warning to make sure it is played each week!!
I'm struggling just can't pull a couple of good scores together. The Gamball CR predictions have been like hen's teeth.
Some shocking results have impacted the scores IMO.
Ah well it is what it is.
Thanks for putting it together guys.
I did think of picking the Wednesday game for the gamball again this week but as they let me down this time I preferred not to risk it! You could always choose it for your bonus!

 That's true, and I flunked it again this week.  Ah well. you can only hope one week i'll not lose points on either the GB or BB or happening on both...as its been = - 6pts each week lost. Laugh
