Excellent week of scoring in Group A this week with a total of 92 points setting a new weekly high for the season!! 5 players got into double figures, half picked up positive points on the Gamball and 12 correct scores were posted. Leading the pack this week is Zinman with a season high score of 24 points!! He managed a CR on the Gamball and Bonus and then backed that up with 3 CSs and the scoreball for good measure!! Close behind him was Twerton with 22 points, a season high for him as well, he managed to get the only CS on the Gamball this week and scored positive points on 7 games but missed out on top spot because he got his Bonus wrong!!
Bit of a drop to Minizin in 3rd with 14 points and Themaclad in 4th with 13 points. Minizin got a CR on the Gamball but missed on his bonus, Themaclad did the opposite!! Minizin scored on more games but Themaclad had one extra CS. AAA is 5th with 11 points, he managed 2 CSs but his points were kept down mainly because he missed on the main balls.
Amelia was the only player to not hit double figures this week, scoring 8 points. She scored on 5 games but she missed out on all the balls to keep her score down.
235 Themaclad
229 Minzin
219 Zinman
210 Twerton
182 A.A.A.
160 Amelia
No positional changes this week but its now really getting close at the top. Themaclad had a 28 point lead just 4 weeks ago, that is now down to just 6 points over Minizin!! Add to that the good form Zinman has shown sees him just 10 points back with Twerton not that far behind him. Another week like this one would see the top 4 separated by just 15 points!! The top 4 have now all surpassed the 200 mark and AAA is not far off it as well.
One interesting stat for you, if you look at Correct Scores and Correct results it shows an interesting fact about the importance of these. So far there have been 1320 predictions made in Group A and nearly 40% (491 games) of those have resulted in a CS or CR. Of these 351 have been CRs and 140 have been CSs which attract the extra 2 points. The interesting stat is that the league leader Themaclad has actually scored the least Correct Results, with just 53 to his name. Contrast this to Minizin with 62 and Amelia and Zinman with 61 each, so how is Mac top? Well when you look at Correct Scores Themaclad is leading the way with 29, of which 5 were Gamballs, and this easily outweighs the points scored by others on their CRs!! Getting a spot on score really boosts your points.
Group B
Stairs 17
SCO 15
BaggieOne 14
Derby 11
Snooty 11
BBB 9
Lady Jane 3
A good week for Group B - 5 players in double figures, a rare positive return from the bonus ball and everyone getting at least 1 correct score led to the equal 2nd highest points haul of the season. A poor return form the gamball, with just one player predicting a Bournemouth win, prevented a possible 3 figure total score.
Stairs leads this week's table thanks largely to a full set of balls. As well as getting the gamball correct (that's now 3 in a row) he also nailed a maximum bonus. SCO takes 2nd place with 5 correct results, 2 of them spot-on, but like everyone else failed on his gamball. His extra scoreball point keeps him 1 point ahead of BaggieOne in 3rd place.
Derby and Snooty are tied on 11 points with an identical breakdown of 1 correct score, 4 correct results, a bonus and the scoreball. BBB sits 2 points further back, his only difference being a negative scoreball, even though that game went to extra time! A miserable week for long time leader Lady Jane - just 3 points after scoring on just 2 games and missing out on all her balls.
214 Lady Jane
197 SCO
195 Stairs
191 Derby
173 Snooty
161 BBB
140 BaggieOne
While she still sits on top, Lady Jane is beginning to come under pressure from the chasing pack. 7 weeks ago she held a 32 point advantage over 2nd place - that's now down to 17 and over the last 3 weeks, SCO in 2nd place has outscored her by 21. It's now very close in the fight for 2nd place with just 6 points separating the next 3 places. Derby had held 2nd place for many weeks but has now dropped to 4th having been overtaken by Stairs in the only positional change this week.
I mentioned Stairs run of 3 successive positive gamballs above and so I decided to look at such runs for my stats of the week. 3 successive gamballs is in fact the equal best run of the season, matched by BaggieOne and Lady Jane - can he set the record by getting another one right this week?
The longest positive bonus ball run is 5, a record shared by Stairs and Snooty, with 4 weeks being the longest positive scoreball run by SCO, BaggieOne, Snooty and Lady Jane. Snooty could make it 5 this week.
