After a great win, we have some happy predictors here. Both tidus_mi2 and Number_13 hit the Exact Final Score, and RoyalPITA and Luke hit the exact Bonus. Blackman's goal was a winner for 9 predictors and the Bonus paid off for 8. Unfortunately, Williams' header avoided all the predictors, as well as the Boro keeper - but we'll take it anyway!

Gwent Royal - 2 * ( 5 [Correct winner, wrong goal difference] + 5 [Half-time score] + 5 [Scorer - Blackman] + 5 [Bonus] ) = 2 * 20 = 40
Owlish52 - 2 * ( 5 [Correct winner, wrong goal difference] + 5 [Half-time score] + 5 [Scorer - Blackman] + 5 [Bonus] ) = 2 * 20 = 40
RoyalPITA - 2 * ( 5 [Correct winner, wrong goal difference] + 5 [Half-time score] + 5 [Scorer - Blackman] + 5 [Bonus] ) = 2 * 20 = 40
tidus_mi2 - 2 * ( 10 [Exact Final Score] + 5 [Half-time score] + 5 [Scorer - Blackman] ) = 2 * 20 = 40
Camb-Royal - 2 * ( 5 [Correct winner, wrong goal difference] + 5 [Half-time score] + 5 [Scorer - Blackman] ) = 2 * 15 = 30
Darlington - 2 * ( 1 [Entry] + 5 [Half-time score] + 5 [Scorer - Blackman] ) = 2 * 11 = 22
Bahamoth - 2 * ( 5 [Correct winner, wrong goal difference] + 5 [Scorer - Blackman] ) = 2 * 10 = 20
Clyde1998 - 2 * ( 5 [Correct winner, wrong goal difference] + 5 [Scorer - Blackman] ) = 2 * 10 = 20
daib0 - 2 * ( 5 [Correct winner, wrong goal difference] + 5 [Bonus] ) = 2 * 10 = 20
Luke - 2 * ( 5 [Correct winner, wrong goal difference] + 5 [Bonus] ) = 2 * 10 = 20
mason1871rfc - 2 * ( 5 [Correct winner, wrong goal difference] + 5 [Bonus] ) = 2 * 10 = 20
Number_13 - 2 * ( 10 [Exact Final Score ) = 2 * 10 = 20
Foxxinator - 2 * ( 1 [Entry] + 5 [Bonus] ) = 2 * 6 = 12
Royal Crisp - 2 * ( 1 [Entry] + 5 [Scorer - Blackman] ) = 2 * 6 = 12
Tilehurstsouthbank - 2 * ( 1 [Entry] + 5 [Bonus] ) = 2 * 6 = 12
cribsie - 2 * 5 [Correct winner, wrong goal difference] = 10
RoyalJoe - 2 * 5 [Correct winner, wrong goal difference] = 10

And the Royals Rendezvous Prediction Game Table now looks like:

RoyalPITA - 262
Owlish52 - 230
tidus_mi2 - 198
Camb-Royal - 197
mason1871rfc - 196
Bahamoth - 191
Gwent Royal - 188
Clyde1998 - 171
Number_13 - 162
Darlington - 160
Zip - 159
daib0 - 152
Foxxinator - 126
RoyalJoe - 118
Luke - 115
Tilehurstsouthbank - 110
cribsie - 102
Royal Crisp - 91
Halifordroyal - 10

With 5 predictors within 10 points, it is as crowded as the Championship table here after 10 League matches.

Yay, good points this week.

Wasn't too keen on the penalty, knew that was points slipping away! :$

Look at it this way - you swapped the 10 points from an exact call (1-0 result you predicted) for the five points from an incorrect goal difference plus the 5 points for Blackman scoring, totaling ten points - no harm taken!

But if you're like me, you'd have rather the score went to 2-0 a bit earlier (like 70 minutes or so earlier :O ) so you could have relaxed during that Royals win! ;)

I'm winning more points but still struggling to get up the table. Need to predict better goalscorers me thinks!

Note that suggestions for Bonus Questions are welcome - I tend to try to go with things like number of shots or cards, because I think they can be a bit predictable, while the timing of a card or a goal is, to me, much more random. Your thoughts and suggestions on the Bonus Questions are appreciated!

Corners, free kicks, fouls, possession.

Team squad numbers total what? :) (Prob better for the opposition!)

Passes completed by individual players.

Saves made by goalkeepers

Goal kicks in a game?

:)
