Congratulations to everyone for taking part and especially to Cologne for picking up the pieces when my head went wrong.

It will be good to see what feedback any of you have on this year's competition. Did the best of the week bonus make it more or less interesting - or no real difference. Are the points for home, away, draw correctly balanced - and for the right score? the doubling for Watford -good or not needed.

Cologne has earned the right / curse? to run next year's competition if he wants to but I am available again in case he - or someone else(?) does not wish to. One warning - it is quite time consuming

I can only second this, feedback is very important. I am quite happy to do it next year but will not stand in the way if anyone else wants to do it (It's also possible to share it ?). I was not happy with aspects of the scoring system and am already working on a new system for next year - but will try to incorporate any suggestions from other people.
 
Always good fun, even if I only narrowly avoided relegation. I'm not sure the system of bonus points is right...needs a bit of fine-tuning with a weekly extra 50 points for all those over 65 who live in Hampshire and write Anglo-Saxon murder mysteries. Id still only finish mid-table <laugh>
 
Well done Zen, Ghost (whooo), NZ and every one who took part. Improvements for next season? Double points for competitors whose name is based on Watfords all time leading goal scorer <whistle>
 
Congrats to Zen <applause>, big thanks to Cologne & Leonardo <ok>. Always enjoy this, long may it continue.

I missed a week by accident, so allowing myself a generous average of 3 points, I could have been - ooh- at least two places higher by the end!
 
Thanks to you both Cologne and Leonardo. Much more difficult for either of you next year given fixture timings so good luck and thanks in advance to either of you giving it a go.

Well done Zen I am happy to settle for second place for the second time in one weekend! At least all of us get promoted!

At my age I need a poke every week to remember that I take part. Think I only missed one, but that of course was the week when I would have managed to get all 10 correct. :emoticon-0101-sadsm
 
I suppose that Zen is now Bournemouth and Ghost the Horns. That makes Yorkie Wolves - hard luck - and Cologne Derby - even harder luck. Me? - I managed not even to get into the Championship in the end :)
 
Thanks to all, particularly Leo and Cologne. Well done to Zen and Ghost. You were both too good for me. As for the scoring, what I liked about the current rules is that it always gave hope to people that a couple of good scores could get them up with the leaders - though that may have also been possible with no double scores and a bonus for the weekly winner. Also I'm pleased that the bias against people from small islands, that was evident at the start of the season, was removed!
 
Thanks to Leonardo and Cologne for starting and then running with the calculation side of things and warm handshake for then and all the competitors and I look forward to next season.

I was worried I would be overtaken with a loss of prediction form over the last few weeks, but stumbled Callum Wilson like over the line. Thanks to Ghost for forcing me to think about this weekends results, which I royally messed up with.

Bearing in mind I came last of regular posters....
Is it worth splitting the table into 2 divisions at say the end of March? This would add interest to those placed 13-26 or so who might win Div 2?
 
Congratulations Zen, a sterling effort indeed. You too theghost.
Thanks indeed Leo and Cologne for the hard work in keeping the records straight.

Lastly, and by all means leastly, well done to meeeeeee for clawing my way up into the top ten after my ignominious slide from setting an early pace.
