Well the games this week saw a few strange results that with all due respect no one would have predicted and this in turn reduced the scores accordingly. Not much to choose between the scores this week with similar records for most players. With the international break upon us a few players will need a breather to try to find some form!
Top place goes to St Charles with 15 points, being the only player to get 2 CSs keeps his decent start to the season rolling along. He missed on the Gamball but like all the top 8 players this week he got a CR on the Bonus. Sanjay is in second place just a single point behind SCO. He too has had a solid start and this will keep him near the top of the table. He saved 3 points this week by not playing the Gamball on a game that most got wrong! Third spot goes to Twerton on 13 points, his best week of the season so far and a much needed one! He got a week's high 5 CRs but missed on the Gamball.
4th place is taken by Derby on 12 points, his score was kept down by not getting and correct scores, especially as he was one of only 2 players to get a CR on the Gamball. Joint 5th place sees Bomber and Themaclad finish with 11 points. Essentially identical scores for these two and they will both be glad not to be that far behind the leader this week. Our current BBB is in 7th place with 9 points, a haul that will see him retain the lead but the pack has closed on him a bit.
AAA and Amelia are joint 8th on 8 points. Amelia was the other player to score a CR on the Gamball but like AAA the lack of any CS is what keeps them near the bottom. Amelia also missed on the Bonus, something that this week was reserved for our Terrier friends only!! Last place for the second week in a row goes to Lord Snooty with just 4 points. He at least scored some points this week but missed on all his balls so the week's high 5 CRs he got were almost wiped out by the lack of any action from his balls!! Whistle
Not much change in the table this week due to everyone being so close. BBB retains his lead but SCO and Sanjay got closer to him. Bit of a gap down to AAA and Amelia and the rest of the pack. Snooty's poor form is seeing him tumble down the table but the two defending Champions, Bomber and Twerton still find themselves rooted to the bottom 2 spots.
Cheers

Ok, before I comment on this week's scores, a rant. While we recognise that Beefy's instructions aren't as clear as they could be (in fairness, English isn't his first language but if he'd written them in Whale song we'd really be struggling), it seems that some of you are still getting your balls mixed up. Or maybe my threat of locking you in a room with a starved Beefy actually appeals (see wk 1 report), in which case you're probably on the wrong website.
To hopefully make it clear:
You have 3 balls to play with - this may be more than you're used to but we're a generous lot at the Prediction League HQ:
The bonus ball (the mortar board emoji) can be played on any one game other than the gamball match.
The scoreball (the tongue emoji) can be played on any one game, but we'd prefer you not to play it on the gamball as it causes us much confusion (we're easy to confuse).
The gamball (the hand over face emoji) can only be played on the selected gamball game - the one with 2 asterisks beside it - though you don't need to play it if you don't want to.
If you have trouble posting the emojis (they don't work as well on some platforms or if you post using the quick reply option) just type bonus/score/gamball against your chosen match.
And breathe.
A fair spread of scores this week. We did look on for a high scoring week until the last Sunday matches which caused carnage. 5 players achieved their highest score of the season so far. Interestingly (at least for a sad numbers person like me) the total Championship weekly scores have been remarkable consistent so far this season with each week totalling between 96 and 103 points and on 3 of the weeks, 18 points has secured first place. Only one player has so far registered a negative score, in case you need reminding, that was Beefy last week. Only 1 player got the gamball result correct........and he didn't play it!
It was a good week for this season's newcomers (well, for most of them) as Silver tops the table, closely followed by Minizin and Somerset. Silver actually scored on 9 of the matches with the only one he missed out on being his bonus! Just a point behind are Minizin and Somerset with identical records, 2 correct scores, an excellent 7 correct results and both losing points on the gamball.
A bit of a gap to Beefy in 4th place showing an improvement on his score of minus 3 last week (in case you'd forgotten again). Beefy just scraped into double figures with his balls preventing him from challenging the leaders. BaggieOne, Lady Jane and Zinman sit in mid table though for B1 and LJ their scores were their best so far this season.
Stairs will be rueing his decision not to play the gamball as he was the only player to predict a Spurs win and DD was grateful for getting his bonus result correct. Joker's score ball point kept him in positive territory and above this week's wooden spoonist, OneTrueBaggie. 1TB headed the overall table last week but came crashing down to earth as the odd man out amongst the newbies.
These results will see a complete change in the overall table (at least according to my calculations). Somerset has climbed from 4th to head the table, closely followed by Minizin - beginner's luck! Zinman drops out of the automatic promotion places and 1TB's dreadful week takes him from top to 4th. Beefy will be happy to have climbed above Joker (he's easily pleased) with Stairs sandwiched between them - not somewhere anyone wants to be. Lady Jane may have had her best week but will stay at the foot of the table with Silver's great week lifting him out of the bottom 3.
A week's break now but when we get back - get your bloody balls right!

I concur with your maths Mr Bomber!!!
RE: Prediction League Results/Tables Week 4 - Zinman - 06-10-2020
You’re stuck with the bloody job - none of us could afford a new abacus.
By the way, did I mention Beefy’s minus 3 last week?
RE: Prediction League Results/Tables Week 4 - SomersetBaggie - 06-10-2020
Definately beginners luck......watch me plummet down the league after the break!!
RE: Prediction League Results/Tables Week 4 - silverbaggie - 07-10-2020
At last, despite some of the crazy results and score lines, I've managed double figures.
Not playing the gamball definitely helped.
Onwards and upwards (I hope)

Maybe we just need to be more controversial in our critique of participants. Maybe we just need to throw more abuse around!!
