I've pulled a lower back muscle and can't go so it's going to be one less on every guess at least.

Total entered, 72 this round.
Guessing twice alert
Less than good news this time goes to Newby, Toronto Villa and Caribbeanvillan who all guessed twice during the round a few pages apart, and so got just 1 point.
Caribbeanvillan guessed a 1 point score both times, Toronto’s first Guess was likewise worth 1 point so neither of you really lost out.
:'( I am so sorry, Newby, your first guess would have got you 6 if you hadn’t come in again, later.
Note
Towser’s second post was a misplaced guess for the Reading round, which I realised at the time, and it did not affect any scores.
I have held off starting the next GTC round until this one was over, so that we didn’t have three rounds going at once! Please take care, as the rules post says, and only Guess once in a round.
GTC3 Villa v Reading is up and running.
GTC League Cup EXTRAS round 2 is about to be launched for Burton v Villa next Tuesday!
Villa are still unbeaten :o wow! Great stuff!
UTV!

YES! 7 points!
-
Nine points. Wow, my best ever 😊
I still think those that get twice should just have their first guess count, though, rather than being punished for a mistake. Not sure if others agree.
-
If others do agree, fair enough, but then it’s a different game. Everybody could try multiple guesses and the tension and tactical aspect of the game through early/late guessing will have gone.
I prefer one guess with everything riding on it for that round.
I’ve also had to relegate myself (!) and abide by getting only 1 point for double posting, so occasional sanctions seem like an aspect of the game that balance the occasional points bonanza!
Feedback welcome.
Should have said, very well played CD! ;)

Thanks Lou.
I didn't mean allowing multiple guesses per we, just count the first guess and discard any others. Nobody would be playing the system then, I reckon everyone who has ever posted more than once has done so by mistake. I've done it about five times!
-
What do other teams think?
CD’s suggestion takes out a sanction ( bad luck for those into punishment) but I rather like the idea of just counting the first Guess if there’s an inadvertent double post in a round.
Please post if you feel strongly that this rule should not change; ie, you are into punishment and we’ll see what can be arranged otherwise, I will change the rule to accept the first Guess if somebody accidentally posts twice in the same round.
(This would not affect the automatic 1 point for editing your guess post at any stage.)
Let me know before the Reading KO on Saturday and we’ll see where we are!
-
If you aren't sure whether you have guessed yet and can't be bothered to take the trouble to look back through the thread then tough, you deserve the sanction!
Stay tough Louzie, don't let CDBWF bully you!
-
Any attempt to edit (or inadverdent 2nd guess) = nil points, zero, fa.
Got to stay focused

Don't listen to that toerag Cooper, just because he knows how to use a gun.
