Prediction League FINAL WEEK Results - St Charles Owl - 10-05-2023
Premier League
As a reminder we entered the final week of the season with 3 players, Derby, Minizin and Zinman chasing the Premiership title, Stairs hoping for a miracle to somehow close the gap at the top and SCO and Snooty needing divine intervention to avoid relegation. Sanjay was looking nailed on for the relegation play off spot but was still nervously looking both up and down the table.
So how did it go? The top 3 all chose different gamball results so would the season come down to just this one game? Could miracles actually happen? Could Zinman keep asking questions rather than get to the point?
OK, drum roll please...here are the final placings with the weeks scores below.
Champion - Derby 309 points.
Congratulations to Derby on retaining his title. It was tight, particularly after losing out on the gamball, but a spot-on bonus and 2 other correct results gave him 8 points which turned out to be just enough.
2nd - Minizin 307 points.
Minizin shared the final week's top spot with 13 points but it wasn't quite enough to close the gap on Derby, falling just 2 points behind. A real shame that. Mini scored on 4 games including the gamball bit in the end his failure to turn any of those into correct scores was his undoing.
3rd - Zinman 303 points
Zinman's 11 point week fell short of what he needed to close the gap on the top 2 as his gamble on a gamball draw failed to pay off. Still, not a bad season after gaining promotion last year.
4th - Stairs 283 points
He needed a miracle and didn't get one. Stairs went for outside bets on most games and paid the price, ending the season with his worst weekly score of minus 4 points. Just one correct prediction ad losses on all his balls.
5th - Blue Baggie 263 points
A steady return of 8 points was enough to avoid any chance of being dragged into the relegation play-off place.
6th - Sanjay 253 points
So the season continues for Sanjay as he enters the relegation play-off lottery, quite a fall from his second place last year. He at least enters the play-offs in decent form finishing joint top of this week's table with 13 points thanks largely to his gamball.
7th - Relegated SCO 232 points
8 points was never going to be enough to avoid the drop.
8th - Relegated Snooty 219 points
Snooty will be relieved that the season's over as his miserable run continued into the final week scoring from just 2 games for a total of 2 points.
The observant amongst you may have noticed that there were no positional changes in the last week of the season. Just 6 points separating the top 3 made for an exciting end and thanks for everyone for taking part and, hopefully, having some fun. Most of us can relax and enjoy the summer while Sanjay (and SCO in real life!) go through the agony or ecstasy of the play offs.

Championship
Well I assumed that there wouldn't be many changes during the final week, but then I didn't think the Championship players would post the lowest points total of the season this week!!! In the end here is where we finished:
Champion - Dingle 347 points
To be fair he has had this wrapped up for quite a while, the occasional poor week gave others hope where now we know there was none!! Congratulations Dingle!!
Runner-up - Lady Jane 307 points
She has been solid for most of the season and takes the honor of being the best Ball player in the division!! Well done on her promotion!!
Joint 3rd - BaggieOne 291 points
Joint 3rd - BBB 291 points
For the first time since I have been scoring the Play Off place has ended in a tie!! BBB was way behind a couple of weeks ago but two good weeks for him combined with BaggieOne seemingly sat on the beach with a Pina Colada, saw them end level!!
5th - AAA 290 points
I think had AAA not been a no show for the last two weeks we would have seen him take the third spot, but you have to be in it to win it and he wasn't!!
6th - Themaclad 224 points
This has been his spot for virtually the whole season, didn't really trouble those above and was well clear of those below.
7th - Twerton 207 points
Twerton finally gets off the bottom for good, a rare feat by him this season!
8th - Amelia - 200 points
A poorly timed no show this week cost her 5 points but won her the wooden spoon!
Here are the final weeks scores for those who have read this far!!
BBB 13pts 1CS 4CR 5GB -3BB 1SB
Themaclad 11pts 0CS 3CR 5GB 3BB 1SB
Dingle 6pts 1CS 4CR -3GB -3BB 0SB
Lady Jane 3pts 0CS 2CR -3GB 3BB 1SB
Twerton 2pts 0CS 4CR -3GB -3BB 0SB
BaggieOne -4pts 0CS 1CR -3GB -3BB 0SB
Amelia No Predictions
AAA No predictions
Play-Offs
So Sanjay enters the Play Offs as the Premier League representative but who is joining him??
We haven't had a tie for this important position so we convened a meeting of the full committee to discuss what we should do. The meeting took place at a prestigious hotel in the US of course and was attended by all that were invited. The discussion lasted for hours, what criteria should be used to break the tie, which stat was worth more than the next one etc etc.
In the end, an exhausted committee decided that the only fair thing to do was to allow both BaggieOne and BBB to both take part in the first ménage à trois Play Off in the WBA Prediction League history!!
So the Play offs taking place over the next two weeks will be between:
Sanjay
BaggieOne
BBB
Get your predictions in!!
Cheers
SCO

Loved it and many thanks all of you that manage this - it is very rewarding for me to see this activity on the site.
RE: Prediction League FINAL WEEK Results - Zinman - 10-05-2023
I avoided adding too many stats to the main write up but here goes with everything I can think of and have available.
Highest individual weekly score: Sanjay & Zinman 28 points each week 25.
Highest total weekly score: 158 week 25.
Lowest total score: 16 week 29.
Average weekly score: 56

SCO 16

Sanjay 13
Blue 12
Not surprisingly our top 3 were the highest scorers from their balls though Minizin did just edge ahead of Derby in the total ball score. Dare I say it that Snooty needs to be more careful where he places his balls? Overall they cost him 19 points, pretty much ensuring his relegation.
RE: Prediction League FINAL WEEK Results - Minizin - 10-05-2023
Best Zin and Best Balls represent an excellent return on the season. Thank you both for running it all!
RE: Prediction League FINAL WEEK Results - St Charles Owl - 11-05-2023
No pressure on me now Zinman to put up some stats from the Championship!! I will get some up tomorrow.
RE: Prediction League FINAL WEEK Results - derbybaggie - 11-05-2023
Well that’s a relief, it was a close run thing.
Many thanks ZIn and SCO for making football weekends interesting, especially the period when Bruce was the manager.
Thanks Zins for making it very interesting throughout the season.
Not sure what I’m going to do with all the prize money yet, maybe a nice holiday.
RE: Prediction League FINAL WEEK Results - Zinman - 11-05-2023
Interestingly, I was thinking about offering an all expenses paid holiday to Napa Valley as a prize again this year.
That’s all expenses paid by the winner, obviously.

RE: Prediction League FINAL WEEK Results - Baggiebob(BBB) - 12-05-2023
No mention of me in the BB league?
Love the stats.
Well done Zin and Sco. You done a great season.
I would seriously think about the 10 pts on the game ball as i have been suggesting, and the table tell u that a 13pt swing is big, especially if it happens 2/3 times a year. 39pts.
If it's a prediction league, have a 4pts for correct score. 2pt for correct result, and 1pts for a sball - and that's it. Rave over.
Well done.
