Re: Official Table Prediction Thread

Is Ryan (who started the thread) or anyone else going to calculate the results? - I will if no one else has started.

1 Portsmouth

2 Luton
3 Doncaster
-------------------
4 Plymouth
5 Carlisle
6 Leyton Orient
7 Exeter
-------------------
8 Cambridge
9 Accrington
10 Notts County
11 Hartlepool
12 Wycombe
13 Barnet
14 Colchester
15 Yeovil
16 Cheltenham
17 Crawley
18 Blackpool
19 Mansfield
20 Crewe
21 Newport
22 Grimsby
--------------------
23 Morecambe
24 Stevenage

A good call by Memoman.Got right

the champions Portsmouth

the top four (albeit with a slight change of order)

and six out of seven promoted/playoff teams...the only error being picking Orient, a problem for many a prediction this year

(not sure whether this will win, as it doesn't do so well at the bottom of the table)

Re: Official Table Prediction Thread

Happy being fourth but not sure of the logic behind the calculation method - if you got the table the wrongest you could get it, you would score zero wouldn't you?

I.e. Leyton orient top, Pompey bottom.

In my workings I've shown minus values just for visibility of how teams performed compared with predicted results (eg. Exeter & Stevenage mostly positive as these teams performed better than most predicted & Cambridge & Accrington mostly negative as they under-performed.) Each person's total is made by converting the negative scores to positive & adding all 24 together - if we added the negatives & positives together everyone would end on zero points, which would make for a fairly pointless competition.

Fair enough, I couldn't see the table properly on my phone but thanks for clarifying.

What do I win for 4th?
