Predictions Table 2020/21

It doesn't seem too long since last season ended but as our opening Carabao Cup match is in five days' time, the first prediction match of the new season is upon us.

As always, everyone is welcome to join in and don't worry if you miss a few matches as it is easy to catch up points if you can just predict a few correct scores.
Rules are the same as last time:

1. Please post your prediction in the match thread and NOT this thread. The latest table will be posted to this thread after the match finishes.
2. Predictions must be posted before kick-off.
3. Predicting the correct result wins 3 points (e.g. you predict 2-1, the score is 2-0)
4. Predicting the correct score wins 5 points (please note, you don't get 3 points for correct result as well, just 5)
5. If you predict the correct score and the winning team scored 3 or more, you get a bonus point for every goal the winning team scored above 2.
So, basically, if you predict 3-1 and are correct, you get 5 points for correct score plus 1 point bonus for predicting 3 goals.
If you predict 5-0 and are correct, you get the 5 points plus 3 bonus points for predicting 5 goals.
If you predict a high-scoring draw, for example 3-3, then you'd get 5 points plus a bonus point for each team as there wasn't a winner and both teams scored more than 2, so 7 points in total.

If Rovers are involved in any penalty shoot-outs, the score used for the prediction league will be that at the end of extra time BEFORE penalties.

If two people are tied on points in the table, precedence will be determined by:
Most correct scores. If this is the same then
Most bonus points. If this is the same then alphabetical order.

The final table cannot be decided on alphabetical order, it will be a tie if players can't be separated by correct scores or bonus points.

The main aim for everyone this season is to stop OOT winning three titles in a row!!

Good luck!

Now OOT has a golf handicap and will understand the general concept shouldn't we start him on Plus 4? Waggy can prob start on 28 too. :p

Although I think I understand the golf handicap Drog , I haven’t got one yet . At the moment I’m struggling to get under a 110 shots per round ( on a good day ) which would give me a handicap on Wilpshire of at least 41 , if they go that high !

Like BB said , I hope we can get more participants this year and plaudits once again to WB for his efforts .

Another call out to all those non posting Rovers fans, come, have a go at our "getting famous" prediction table.
No prizes other than the honour a glory of getting it right for your team.

OK, here is the first table of the new season.
Plenty of us went for a home win, so lots of 3 points around but one of us stood head and shoulders above the rest with a correct score prediction AND a bonus point to boot.
Congrats to ODB, who is the early pacesetter.
Anyone who forgot / hasn't previously joined in, please have a go, you can easily catch up.

In front of Drog again. I feel smug ☺
You don't deserve to be BB..... certainly not after predicting a shut out by Rovers! We haven't had one yet against lower league opposition. That's a blue moon event for our lot! :p

Bloody Bell's amateurish mistake spiked my chance of a correct result.
