March 2023 Points Prediction Thread

[MJP_Exeter]

I hope I am incorrect and the 10 pointers win it.

Alistair 20000 said 'A biscuit order about to be placed but apl may well give us three names of the possible winners based on results to date and the three possible outcomes'.

Three names would be much too hard work! I like to leave hard work to the Committee. But you might not need a biscuit order if City lose on Tuesday. The clutch of 7 point predictions on page 1 of this thread includes this amazingly accurate call (so far) from Ex-ciderr.

Wycombe Wanderers A - 1-1 D
Lincoln City H - 2-1 W
Cheltenham Town A - 2-1 L
Accrington Stanley H 3-0 W
Barnsley H - 1-3 L

OFFICIAL RESULT

The Committee has pored anxiously over the workings late into the night and has found it a very difficult task to pick a winner

These 8 entries with 10 points were considered and the Committee found as follows:

arthur 3 winning results so progresses
burtiew 2 winning results so eliminated
CWH-NYC_ 3 winning results so progresses
ecfc70 1 winning result so eliminated
Exehausted 3 winning results so progresses
grecIAN Harris 3 winning results so progresses
grecian-near-hell 3 winning results so progresses
STURTZ 2 winning results so eliminated

The Committee then examined the goals scored for the correctly predicted results of the gang of five and found as follows:

grecian-near-hell got none of his winning results correct as regards goals scored so he was eliminated. The other four got one result exactly right each so progressed

The Committee then looked at the results correctly predicted but with the wrong goals and gave a negative point for the margin of error in each case for both team's scores and found errors as follows:

arthur 3 goals out
grecIAN Harris 3 goals out
CWH-NYC_ 5 goals out and eliminated
Exehausted 6 goals out and eliminated

The Committee then looked at the two results where the goals were wrong for the two survivors and looked for the number of exact scores

arthur

City 1 Lincoln 0
City 3 Barnsley 2

grecIAN Harris

City 2 Lincoln 0
City 3 Accrington 0

With 2 correct scores highlighted grecIAN Harris edges out art with 1 score highlighted and is declared the winner

arthur the only one of the eight 10 pointers to get both the Cheltenham and Barnsley results correct so very unlucky not to win.

[Hants_red]

April predictions are going to be fun! Are we good enough to take points off those top 7 sides?!

 

[burtiew]

Well done @grecIAN Harris ... as predicted I now have a hattrick of biscuit room defeats ... roll on April!
