At a glance I'd say Welshy's prediction looks like one of, if not the best.

The results are in. Unfortunately this year the change in season end has coincided with real life pressures such as work and school holidays. Compounding on that when the season restarted and I went in to collate everyone's entries to give my usual commentary and produce a forum table I corrupted the file. I've tried to save it and fix it without spending too much time. So no guarantee it's 100%, I advise everyone to check their scores.

Congrats to Talfal. This is the part where I would say that thanks to Talfal's generosity we have an actual prize this year of a forum T-Shirt. But he's not getting one so no prize this year as usual just a brag line under your avatar.

Wooohoo !

Did this with some mates and would have scored 64 here. Talfal absolutely crushed it with his predictions.

Well down Talfal. I got me at 52 but I could be misunderstanding how it’s added up.

It's just where they finished - where you said as an absolute number, so no +/-

But as said, I had fuck ups and corruption issues, so you may be right.


I redid yours and you're right it is 52. The tips I had in the s/sheet were nothing like yours.

Yeah I think your spreadsheet is buggered

I might be able to do a manual recount of scores this arvo - off work today caring for a sick kid, who will hopefully mostly sleep. No promises though

RECOUNT
will edit this post with scores as I add them up
Might still be some errors, depends on my finger and toe accuracy

Ok done, hopefully all correct. Any errors will only be 1-2 off and I’m 99.9999% sure I’ve got the winner



For most of this it looked like I was rescoring a comp I was going to win, which seemed like extraordinary lengths to get a t-shirt (as great as it is). Thankfully the 2nd last entry tied me, and the last entry I recounted won.

So I think Talfal is the La La Land of the ladder predictor, with the real winner being Goodnight Kiwi.

La La Land winner is still a winner in my eyes

I was honestly thinking it would be the same order and that everyone’s scores would just be a bit lower. When I scored you higher than me was when I started worrying I might actually win

Looks like I'm starting the s/sheet & formulas from scratch next year

@robelgordo Thanks for that

No probs
