Well some of us predicted carnage; some said there would be blood on the carpet…….and how right they were! We are now left with 10 players standing. Our previous leader, by a long way, garysfc, has unfortunately been forced to withdraw due to down-time he will be experiencing in the coming weeks. Three players have been eliminated this week. Sa1nts and guitartrax were both non-runners and ended with rather embarrassingly high minus totals, thanks in part to chinasaint’s disaster (losing TWO Double-Dares and thus having his total quadrupled). Don’t worry guys – I’ll be in touch before the next game – which may not be too long! Our new League Leader, Colin5164 showed us why he is at the top, by getting the best score of the week, with 10,580, although he gets that accolade by the slimmest of margins from I am the Herminator, who was a mere TWO points behind him. Herm climbs four places, as does pompeymeowth, who did the opposite to chinasaint and survived two Double-Dares. For the benefit of any-one who was still a bit confused as to the scoring, I will go through one example of this week’s entries, step by step Step forward Singing Blue 3 Singing’s entry was as follows: 21657 J 12657 6570 P 5670 1657 DOUBLE DARE The player below him in last week’s table was I am the Herminator, who played his joker for match 1. The actual attendances were: 27564 18573 5856 5269 3048 So Singing’s score is comprised like this: Match 1: 5,907 under, but Herm’s Joker doubles it to 11,814 Match 2: 5,916 under, scores 5,916 Match 3: 714 over, so doubles to 1,428. Penalty Card played so doubles again, to 2,856 Match 4: 401 over, so doubles to 802 Match 5: 1,391 under, scores 1,391 Total: 22,779 He played the Double-Dare against the player above him in the table – chinasaint. China’s total was 24,370, so Singing’s score remains and chinasaint’s is doubled to 48,740. Unfortunately, chinasaint also played Double-Dare, with pompeymeowth, and lost again; hence his total had to be doubled again, to 97,480, meaning he is eliminated for seeing his total fall below zero. So, if we’re all ready, here are the fixtures for the 14th. Blackburn v Fulham Doncaster v Cardiff Bury v Sheffield Utd Plymouth v Burton Kettering v Forest Green Don't forget you MUST play your jokers and pay your penalties, and remember, the Double-Dare is a two-edged sword (and is OPTIONAL)! Entries can be made by PM if you prefer.
Can you redo this in Braille, devo, it might help me understand it a bit better I am trying to take it seriously, honest ! P.S. Was Channonfodder the only competitor to submit his entry to you by pm ? If that is the case, in the spirit of fairness, and secrecy, my entry to you will follow either by pigeon post, or by morse code, within the next few days.............
I have been expelled from my Open University course for "Devo Games Technology" The lecturer said I was taking the **** He advised I take a course in brain surgery and have one transplanted.
That's 7 down and 3 to go; Rupert, Woopert and Channon Doesn't that sound like a very dodgy 60's pop group?
Sorry Devo born it the eighties so i wouldnt know!, but I have the singing talent to be a drummer, Right, this weeks complete guesses (as to how the rules work on this game) 20,000 J (only put the joker because most others do on the first prediction) 10,200 5,000 6,500 1,100 P good luck one and all I think we may need it. P.S Devo have to spoke to Noel Edmonds about taking this game global?
Hi Devo - my totally random guesses are as follows:- 20,022 (J) 9,022 4,022 5,622 1,222 (P) By the way, 'Rupert, Woopert and Channon' sounds more like an upper class firm of Solicitors, to my mind, don't you know....
Well, fashionably late and traditionally clandestine, I have sent a PM to Devo. Will Singing be able to cling on in the game or wil he be eliminated? Can Colin handle the pressure at the top? Will Meowth find his choice of penalty unwise? I think we should be told, or I will have to consult my solicitors, Messers Sue, Grabbit and Runne!
Well all entries are now in (and it's not even Saturday yet!) After last week's total carnage, which saw three eliminations, there has been more restraint this week, with no-one playing the Double-Dare. Matches 1 and 5 could influence things. 6 out of 10 jokers have been played on match 1. Every-one except Sweep chose match 5 for their penalty, but Channon has completed the set by playing is joker for that fixture. That means we will all score double points for that match.
As it's after 12 it's time to reveal the PM entry received. Just the one this week; from Channonfodder 21999 J 9099 4199 5799 1299 P
Kettering v Forest Green is postponed, so their average home gate will be recorded as their score. Taken from football365 it is 1,552.
