AAA No Submission
At least the gamball actually did its job this week. A moderate week's scoring with both the gamball and the Valball matches providing negative total scores.
Sanjay heads the table with 17 points. Although he failed to get a single correct score, he was the only player to score from all of his balls and shared the week's high of 6 correct results. Minizin seems to be very picky with his gamball and this week he again chose not to play it - wisely this time! This negativity helped him to second place and should keep him among the early pace-setters. Derby was the only player with 2 correct scores, though losing on his gamball for the first time this season held him back.
BBB had a decent week helped by a maximum on his bonus but failing with his other balls though he did manage to creep into double figures. It was a week of firsts for SCO - this was the first week that he scored on his score ball and also the first time he's failed on the gamball as his early season form seems to be deserting him.
Silver and BaggieOne are locked together on 8 points. Silver only scored on 3 games though he was saved from a really bad week by being the second player to score on the gamball. BaggieOne had 5 correct predictions but no correct scores.
Stranded at the foot of the table is Snooty, having a weekend to forget. His 0 - 2 scoreline (that's nil correct scores, 2 correct results) may just bring back bad memories of his Saturday afternoon (to think that I didn't pick the Huddersfield game because I thought it was too predictable!) He did at least stay positive thanks to one of his correct predictions being his bonus.
No AAA again - come back, all is forgiven!
Some comments on the balls:
SCO remains the gamball king despite this week's failure. Derby and Minizin have also scored more than 20 points from this ball so far and nobody other than AAA is actually negative - I confidently predict that that won't be the case for long. Minizin tops the bonus scorers closely followed by Snooty while BaggieOne is struggling with the bonus currently costing him 3 points. SCO's score ball point means that everyone has now gained at least 1 point on this ball - Minizin again has the best record scoring on 4 out of 5 weeks.
SCO 83
Minizin 76
Derby 73
Silver 71
BBB 69
Sanjay 59
BaggieOne 49
Snooty 49
AAA 16
A bit of a reshuffle this week though SCO retains top spot. Minizin and Derby both rise one place with Silver's poor week dropping him 2 places. BBB stays in tough while at the bottom, Sanjay's best score of the season so far lifts him 1 place with a 10 point gap to BaggieOne and Snooty sharing bottom place (assuming AAA doesn't beam himself back into the league).
Zin
Championship
Blue Baggie 21pts 4CS 3CR -3GB 6BB 0SB
Dingle 21pts 1CS 6CR 5GB 3BB 1SB
Themaclad 18pts 4CS 2CR -3GB 3BB 0SB
Zinman 14pts 1CS 5CR 5GB -3BB 0SB
Stairs 12pts 0CS 5CR NPGB 3BB 1SB
Salop 10pts 1CS 2CR NPGB 6BB 0SB
Twerton 7pts 1CS 4CR -3GB -3BB 1SB
Amelia 5pts 2CS 0CR NPGB -3BB 0SB
Lady Jane -2pts 1CS 0CR -3GB -3BB 0SB
You can always tell when either Zinman or myself get a decent score, we score each others divisions so when I get a good score, like the first week, I sent the results to him quickly, this week for the first time Zinman had a decent score and I got the PL scores from him about 30 seconds after Mark Noble missed that penalty!!!! Its obvious that we do this to "encourage" the other one to get the scores in quickly so that we can bask in our glory for longer!!!
As I mentioned Zinman got a decent score this week but top of the pile were joint winners Blue Baggie and Dingle Dingle with a very good score of 21 points each. They achieved this in very different ways though - Blue missed on the Gamball, DD got a CR, DD picked up a CR on the Bonus, Blue got it spot on, Blue got 4 CR, DD just got one - I think you get my point but it all added up to them ending with the same points total. In 3rd place is Themaclad on 18 points, his highest total so far this season, he was one of 3 players this week who got more CSs than CRs, not sure I have seen that many before.
And then comes Zinman with his decent score of 14 points. a seasons high for him and I am sure the fact that he not only played the Gamball but he picked up a CR on it had nothing to do with his speedy scoring!! Two of our more consistent scorers come next in Stairs with 12 points and Salop with 10. I keep banging this drum, maybe I need to use a different beat for them to hear me but their refusal to play the Gamball at all has now cost each of them 15 extra points this season so far!! Still, maybe they know something I don't as they both are still doing well overall.
The bottom three all ended in single digits, Twerton had a poor week by his recent standards missing on both the Gamball and Bonus. Amelia with 5 points and Lady Jane with a negative 2 bring up the rear, not for the first time this season. Amelia was one of the three players to get more CSs than CRs, LJ got one CS and a double -3 on the Gamball/Bonus combo!! With a certain player getting his first Scoreball point in the PL this week, LJ is now the only player in both divisions to have not picked up a single point on this ball so far.
88 - Blue Baggie
69 - DD
68 - Stairs
61 - Salop
57 - Twerton
51 - Themaclad
47 - Zinman
37 - Amelia
34 - Lady Jane
All bar 2 players moved places this week!! Blue stays top and increased his lead to 19 points!! DD rose 3 places to go second just a single point ahead of Stairs who drops one place. Salop dropped a place as well, as did Twerton with DD jumping all three of them. Themaclad took sole possession of 6th, with Zinman in 7th. Bit of gap opening up now above the bottom 2, Amelia moves off the bottom but is 10 points behind Zin and Lady Jane's negative score saw her fall to last place.
Cheers
SCO
On a side note, maybe this week we can score more than zero comments on this thread!! I know we are all friends but a bit of banter or even praise for the scorers wouldn't go amiss!!
For example, come on BBB, you are 3 points behind Derby and they are in administration!!

Beginners luck for me.
I feel an almighty crash is on the way.
How long can the coin flip system last?
Thanks for the abacus boys for the updates.

My old half crown has come in handy after all.
