I think I can safely say after today I'll be bottom of any league - my guess of 34957 was a tad above the actual 28336

I can't remember what mine was but, I think it was fractionally higher than yours.

This is something else I'm no good at.

Hopefully a resurgent Villa will get more support.
I was miles out, too!

I'd go for something along the lines of:

10 for a correct guess before 7 days before KO
9 For a correct guess within 7 days of KO
8 Within 10
7 Within 50
6 Within 100
5 Within 200
4  Within 400
3  Within 500
2  Within 1000
1  For entering and above 1000 out

I like it, it would help to rack up the points, that's for sure.  Hopefully Kevilla would be able to amend his programme to do it! 

I've had requests to extend the joining period as well, to the next game.

And a suggestion to drop the cups and include all matches in the League!

What do people think?  We have a break, here, and the next match is away in 2 weeks, so if you have  any recommendations I will take them into account this week.

I think my guess warranted more than one point, I was in the 28's!

Sorry Eamonn, absolutely right.
The biro slipped, the dog ate the results and I forgot how to do long division. All at once.

One or two amendments to make as some stuff got through from the drafts.
Also re calibrating for new scores based on new points suggested. I see it as an improvement so I will go ahead.  Not that many changes at this stage, so I will be editing the results post rather than putting up another one.

I will if you join me for the missing e! 
Bring your pint with you, I have a chilled SauvB going down well after work, today.

The editing will be inspired.

New points and edits now in.
Eamonn, you are up where you belong, as Joe Cocker expressed it so unforgettably.
Thanks to Legion for the amended points system.

This competition is still open for new teams.


NEW

I have had a suggestion to add aways as well as home games to the League.

This would get rid of the Cups this season.

Please can I have any thoughts about this preferably before the end of this week, when we would have to launch a Cup Thread. Thanks. L0
