Those of us at the bottom should take solace in the fact we are clearly those with most imaginative in our predictions!

Fantastic I am in it to win it twice! Perhaps John H has been attributed to me? Or more worryingly there is an imposter, perhaps it's the kitchen spam. Digressing a bit but I have not seen any for a long time so who ever has sorted it! good jarb

This is a bit like handicap racing. I note Jaggy is starting off with the biggest handicap by far in the women's race, and the second biggest handicap in the men's! wink

You have two players at GB number 3 in the "Points as 1st January 2019". James Ward and Dan Evans (who is number 4). Because of this everyone gets the wrong number of points for their prediction for Evo.

Status Quo also has both players as GB number 3 and no GB number 4.

 The good news: the wooden spoon holder (me) gets an extra point - Yay!

The bad news: so does everyone else! Boo!

 Think that has happened because of just one or two predictions on each side that have an effect on the way the points work. Cam being ahead of Kyle for an example. Perhaps a critique in the way points are decided maybe.

Think it's more a critique of doing a table in week 1 when those with the predictions closest to status quo will inevitably be top. Worth ignoring the tables until mid season at least!

Yes, I see the week 1 table as interesting to see who has been most 'adventurous' in their predictions - the rankings and numbers themselves are meaningless at the moment.

  "adventurous" is one way of looking at it!

Yes the only point in showing the points now is to see how conservative or adventurous you are with your picks

At the end of the day to my mind the points scoring system is good and does a pretty objective job. One good thing is you can't get negative points so total disaster predictions due to injury or whatever can't hugely cost people, they just score zero, and then with all the rest essentially the closer people are the better they score.

Doesn't matter at all at this stage anyway. As said it just interestingly shows how far from the current positions folk are. You for instance have switched about the GB orders a bit but most significantly start with zero points for your world ranking predictions in both the men's and women's predictions - predicting 18 of your 20 to rise more than 25% and for Kyle and Heather to drop by more than 25%. 

So hope when the time comes that counts quite a number of these 'come in' to give you good points - not Kyle and Heather of course.

What happens with these given the Andy news - he has pretty much retired, no?
