Triple Points or Not?

by Snowball » 19 Jul 2020 19:59

I’ve offered to award triple points for the last game to stop it being a dead rubber

So far all bar one of those who have bothered to say yes or no have said yes

This is the top ten. Can you say yes or no?

YES Snowball (I’m easy, so a Yes)
??? MorganB
??? Regular John
??? Royalp-we
??? Horsham Royal
YES Up North
??? Barney
YES Royality Creeps
YES Royal Forester



YES South Down Royal
NO - Old Man Andrews

A very noble offer. If you are happy to go with triple points then so am I as you have more to lose... Remind me, what is the prize for coming top?

Do we need to put our predictions in sealed envelopes (or PM to someone else) so as to avoid tactical picking (you could just copy my selection so still win)?

Yes.
But I suggest triple only for the prediction bit, not for posting before the deadline (12 'free' points seems a bit too much).

The 12/18 is available to everybody

Even the some will steadfastly refuse to use standard format and some will also post late

If you have correct format, on time, not an extreme wrong score you can never get a correct scorer, HT result, FT result, first team to score and still amass 324 points in a season

So the winner is merely the least rubbish tipster

Triple points makes a mockery of the whole competition. Disgraceful.

Voted for overwhelmingly

Without this it’s finished with me the winner, already (if I play safe last game)

It’s supposed to be FUN

You've rigged a competition for an entire season and then inexplicably offered triple points so people can catch you.... Intelligent.

Of course the people behind you are going to vote for it.............. They are cheats and largely dishonest people, they will take any shortcut they can. They have earned nothing.

When you miss out on the prize you'll only have yourself to blame.
