We all know the Gamball is called that because its a bit of a Gamble to play it (obviously our resident Vulcan AAA doesn't see the logic in gambling so always abstains
)!! This week epitomises that risk perfectly!! St Charles finished top of the table with 16 points and was the only one to predict a Leicester win in the Cup Final, hence taking the risk on the Gamball and winning!! What make this interesting is that he only scored on 5 games in total, with the 5 players behind him all scoring on more games but missing that all important Gamball.
Joint second is a resurgent Derby and battling Themaclad with 15 points, both scored on 6 games and had 2 CSs each with Derby getting one of his on the Bonus. Snooty is in 4th on 14 points even though he scored on a week high 7 games, but missing the Gamball and only getting one CS kept his score down. Bomber rounds out the double digit scorers with 10 points, like those above him he scored on more games than SCO but couldn't turn any of his scoring games into CSs.
Joint 6th is our current leader BBB and AAA on 8 points. AAA only scored on 2 games but one was his Bonus and he got the other one spot on!! BBB is still on the beach but was at least sober enough to get positive points this week. Sanjay is 8th with 6 points, his mediocre form continues as we close out the season.
Twerton's recent good form comes to an end and sees him finish 9th with just 4 points. Amelia was looking good only a few weeks ago but her form has deserted her and these two points won't do her any good in the table.
BBB - 337*
St Charles - 288
Sanjay - 274
Bomber - 266
AAA - 250
Lord Snooty - 250
Derby - 239
Amelia - 233

Twerton - 194
I think I have to start this weeks table summary with an explanation regarding the * next to BBBs total score. There is an investigation underway by the committee after an allegation of misrepresentation and an extreme and egregious jumping of the gun by BBB. It is alleged that he has changed his signature on SportsBabble to claim he is already the Champion of the 20/21 WBA Prediction League. It is claimed this inaccurately describes the current situation and shows a complete lack of maths capability on behalf of BBB!! The committee has taken the advice of Mr Bates (my old math teacher, we called him Master back then!!) and he confirms that while the probability of BBB winning the title stands at 99.37%, it is still mathematically possible for St Charles to catch him and claim the title!! The committee will take this into account and could apply a points deduction in accordance with the rules and their dictatorship style power!!
A few key changes this week, SCO moves further ahead of Sanjay and Bomber for the race for runner up (or the title if you read the above paragraph!! ). Lord Snooty has caught back up to AAA in the battle for 5th spot and Derby has finally clawed his way out of the relegation playoff spot and firmly dumped Amelia into it!! The wooden spoon battle changes hands again this week, Twerton's stay off the bottom lasted one full week!!
We move onto the last week of fixtures with a number of things still to be decided, good luck to all!!
Cheers

A truly traumatic weekend. Moving house, a steam driven computer deciding that it no longer likes excel and a last minute goalkeeper scoring to beat the Baggies (VAR doesn't get a mention as we've all got used to that sh*tshow). At least the Championship scoring improved (ironically helped by a certain last minute goal).The gamball yet again proved costly, scoreballs were as rare as membership of the Mike Dean Appreciation Society but bonuses proved more fruitful with only one failure.
A stand out performance this week from DD with his second best score of the season. He scored on 7 games with 2 correct scores, a gamball and bonus - too late for him to mount a promotion challenge but this may give him hope for next season. Stairs takes 2nd place, his non-gamball policy once again paying dividends - is a play-off spot in his sights?
Something of a logjam after Stairs with just 4 points separating the next 6 players. Somerset grabs 3rd place (another beneficiary of gamball avoidance) with Zinman just a point behind. Minizin scored a maximum on his bonus to lie just another point behind with Silver, BaggieOne and Joker locked together on 10 points. Sadly it's a familiar week for Lady Jane, the only player not to reach double figures to once again sit at the foot of the table
Minizin 299
BaggieOne 284
Silver 273
Zinman 270
Somerset 267
Stairs 266
DD 248
Joker 235
Lady Jane 213
As we enter the final week of a long season it would truly take a miracle (or some very dodgy scoring....not that that could happen, of course) to deprive Minizin of promotion, and the title seems equally assured. BaggieOne is within touching distance of the second promotion place but the hunt for the play off position is tight with just 7 points separating 4 players. I will be dusting off the rulebook to see what happens if we have a tie for the play-offs - I have a feeling that if points are tied it goes on reverse alphabetical order, but I'll need to confirm that.
DD and Joker have pulled away from Lady Jane at the foot of the table, so can relax going into the final week. As for Lady Jane - better luck next season!
