Good Luck for the play offs all.

Frosties.

Thanks for your efforts this year mate and a special mention to tvoc for keeping you on your toes!

According to my calculations Rhinos 69 had 11 points for round 27. All results correctly predicted and both Wigan V Bulls and Quins V Wolves the exact margin

This should give a total of 153 for the comp

Your advices would oblige

Thanks for doing this this year Adam.

frosties,

according to my calculations i should have scored 11 not 9 points and therefore a total of 150, as i predicted all 7 winners correctly and got both wigan v bull nad quins v wolves with the correct margin.

thanks

rhinos69

Highbury Rhino 53

Friday 10th September 10
St. Helens v Warrington Wolves = Warrington by 8

Saturday 11th September 10
Huddersfield Giants v Crusaders RL = Huddersfield by 12
Hull FC v Hull Kingston Rovers = Hull by 7

Sunday 12th September 10
Wigan Warriors v Leeds Rhinos = Leeds by 12

WOLVES BY 7

GIANTS BY 26

HULL BY 13

WIGAN BY 14

May I suggest a couple of things:

1) That people PM their predictions to Frosties to avoid the person in each match predicting second having an advantage.

2) That the scoring system is clarified to save arguments after the weekend.

If I remember correctly from last year the winner is determined by

a) The person who scores the most points using the system for the regular rounds (1 point for predicting winner, 2 points for exact margin)

b) If the scores are tied, then the person whose predictions have a smaller combined degree of error in their predictions will win

For example, in the Saints/Warrington game if Saints win by 10 and the following predictions are made by the 2 predictors

Saints by 6
Saints by 12

Then the players will score 4 (for Saints by 6) and 2 points (Saints by 12) respectively.

In the following example, any prediction for Warrington would score 10 + the predicted Warrington win (i.e. Warrington by 2 would score 12 points)

Rhinos69 had 139 points before this week so ended up on 150 points. If you are querying the 139 points now, I would suggest it should have been done before this week.

By my calculations the top 8 (excluding Craigloiner who isn't eligible for the playoffs) is

159 JMT
154 Highbury Rhino, Number 2
153 Old Feller, Rhinos46
151 Foxy Rhino, LFC Rhino
150 Rhinos 69, Slippery Steve Morris

I dont see how there can be an advantage for my opponent if I post my scores first TBH so here goes

Friday 10th September 10
St. Helens v Warrington Wolves - St Helens by 6

Saturday 11th September 10
Huddersfield Giants v Crusaders RL- Shudderfield by 18
Hull FC v Hull Kingston Rovers - Hull FC by 12

Sunday 12th September 10
Wigan Warriors v Leeds Rhinos - Wigan by 14

#30 Cheers Frosties and good luck everyone

LFCRhino

It's kind of equivalent to radio phone in tie-breakers where the nearest answer wins and the person guessing second really only has to judge whether they think the first answer is too high or too low and guess 1 higher or low accordingly.

Of course, that it assuming that people would want to enter the competition in a cynical matter (which I am not accusing anyone of but it seems fairer for everyone to PM their predictions to Frosties and them him post them when both have predicted).

TBH I still havent got a clue what your on about

wwwooo beat last years score hehehe

Done mine via private message to Frosties

Because there has to be a winner in each tie, if both players picked the same teams for each match, there has to be method of deciding a winner which would be the person whose differences between the actual scores and their predictions were the least. Therefore I could (but wouldn't) look at your predictions and decide to make mine 1 more and less than yours depending on how I thought the games would pan out.

Hence if the predictions were made by PM, that advantage would be nullified.

pm just sent to frosties.

PM also sent to Frosties.

Unofficially, I make it

JMT 2 - Rhinos46 1
Number Two 2 - Highbury Rhino 2 (with Number Two going through 60 - 65 in terms of combined error of predictions)
Rhinos 69 2 - Old Feller 1
LFCRhino 2 - Foxy Rhino 1

Using the scoring system you outlined earlier (I had no idea before you posted) I came out with the same results.

So (if confirmed) it's goodbye to Old feller and FoxyRhino with JMT and Number 2 awaiting the winners of next week's games?

(Highbury Rhinos V Rhinos 69 and Rhino46 V LFCRhino)

Well played Rhino 69, go ahead & win it now so that I can say I was beaten by the eventual winner.

Believe it or not the front page tipsters actually got it right. We won £17.64 for our £1 accumulator which takes the annual winnings to very healthy £21.46.

Here's to increasing again next week!

Just lump the £21.46 on a Wire & Wigan outright double next week.

cheers old feller, will do my best
