not everyone answered every section...a couple of blanks

But I miscounted Newcastle Newcastle which should be 56 and not 66, so C is 89 ...

I do my few games by hand, but the Premier League Positions Game is highly automated by the Sunderland admin man's computer programmes, so that is pretty well infallible at least ...

still about seven games away - on average - from the half-season update and points awards, but I've got it under control!

Half-Season Review

Firstly we have already arrived/surpassed the half-way point in 5 of the 10 leagues featured in our 10-Champs game.

These are the dates when the remaining five reach the half-way point -
League 2 - 31st December
Premier - 1st January
Italy - 8th January
Germany - 21st January
Spain - 23rd January

So the final half-way points won’t be known until then, but I have now calculated for you the five leagues (Championship, League 1, National League, Scottish Premier & Scottish Championship) which have arrived at half the number of games played, and the points for each player are as shown below. The more points the better so you are shown in order:


Mrs bristleposh - Running Total 34
dunc - Running Total 32
MPW17 - Running Total 31
Suffolkposh - Running Total 29
MCMXC - Running Total 25
tonyp - Running Total 21
Posh Aussie - Running Total 18
DoubleRay - Running Total 12
bristleposh - Running Total 11




N.B.
In the Scottish Premier the top three placings have been awarded 10-7-4 pts although the ‘European’ placings are not totally clear for next season yet.

[daib0]

After ALL the English and Scottish leagues have now reached the half-way point I can now offer results of 7 of the 10 leagues being calculated; we only await the three European top leagues of Spain, Germany and Italy. And for those three most - almost all - of you will score good points, but until 23rd Jan I won’t be able to give you those complete being Spain and Germany have a winter break so get behind on the schedules.

So here is the latest 10-Champs league table for yourselves to chew upon or simply gloat, most points being the best. You are shown in order as we stand, already some changes from last report …

In fact, couldn't be closer !!

dunc - Running Total 40
Suffolkposh - Running Total 40

It’s your forum game, but just out of interest these are the best so far nationally, those who have already broken the 40-point mark … if on same points, then simply in alphabetical order of member name!

If you’re here - then you’re GOOD! There are another 100 or so who don’t make it onto fame!

After ALL the English and Scottish and European leagues have now reached, and in most cases passed, the half-way mark. Here are the complete points collected from the first half of the season - however the BIG points are awarded at the very end of the season, so there is plenty to play for.
As we know from the initial post introduction MOST points means the best. If you want to see the exact points you are getting for each placing please go back to that initial presentation. You are shown in order of excellence as we stand …

Probably I’ll be back on this thread during these winter months with a few anecdotes as to how the leagues are going, and so you don’t forget this is talking place! …

Bristle should listen to his wife more often.
But of course he already knows that!!

[daib0]

Hi guys,

Almost end of season. Not worth a complete update, because only the Vanarama (Conference) is totally decided, including the play-offs. So I will wait for a few play-off results from other leagues first.

But just to note down that at this very moment, first on this forum is currently - and it's VERY close!!:


Mrs bristleposh with 83 points

followed by dunc and Suffolkposh both on 82 points, and MPW17 on 81 points ...
