I think you might be a bit top heavy on total points compared to previous seasons top six finishers.

Ristac and Chippy >> Thanks for the entry.

Hopefully the teams at the bottom will have low points hauls ( it might be all that saves us).
Think Newcastle will romp the league and one or two might go on decent runs with them.
 
Welcome to the 10th Annual TOP SIX POINTS CHALLENGE.


Final entries can be taken up to 7pm Friday 5th August.
========================================================
HOW IT WORKS and RULES
You are requested to select the TOP SIX teams and the POINTS they will end up with at the end of the CHAMPIONSHIP season.
Only 1 RULE this season – the 6th placed team you forecast MUST be 70 points or MORE. (Average 6th place team over many seasons is around 73/74pts)

SCORING is simple …1 point for every point you are away from the final totals of each team.
If you forecast DERBY to get 80 points and they get 90 you score 10 points. OR… if they get 78 you score 2 points. It pays to be accurate !

The LOWEST score will be the winner.
Previous winners score over the years range for 22 up to 50 in a bad year !
