When I last suggested something like that, a player got upset with me about it, so I won't be doing that again!

Oh, I can't remember now. It was a long time ago! But I think the general feeling is that the usual scoring shouldn't be messed with.

Congratulations Pizzatheaction.

I'm hoping the early start drags down the BBC1 average for the wedding. I somehow feel that I have underestimated.

You're welcome. It's not that impressive really! Excel does most of the work for me, I just copy and paste.

And yep, the next update will be tomorrow.

Why don't you join us? The new schedule (for Week 5) will be out on Thursday.

I would really like to join. But please explain how I "join".

There isn't a joining procedure as such, everyone can join in pretty much instantly. You just post your predictions for the coming week (sometime after the new schedule is published on Thursday but before the deadline of Tuesday 9am) and you will be entered along with everyone else. Hope this helps.

Jonwo

27-04-2011

I would suggest:
Champions League
The Shadow Line
Inside the Human Body
Lord Sugar Tackles Football
Psychoville
Atlantis
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
X-Men 2.
