Dancc may I make a suggestion?

Could you score the average predictions as well, see how good the thread is as a collective at predicting ratings?

Looking at the Rugby rating, any chance I had of a respectable end to the week, just went out of the window, 1 million to high. Still it was 08:30 so I dont feel it was a bad guess on my part.

Did you made your predictions at 8.30am? - that is way too early to be number crunching. just joking of course. I am sure someone said this week seemed tricky earlier in the week, but this seems to have been the highest player scoring week that I have played in. By my reckoning the average is around 47 main points - which is quite remarkable. The top 3 positions seem to close to call without official confirmation.

Ps Charnham I think I beat you by 9pts this week, hope you do much better in blind week.

WEEK 3 PREVIEW

This Week's Average Predictions
15. *SPECIAL* 2011 Rugby World Cup Final: 3.5m


The shows with the biggest range in predictions this week are:
1. 2011 Rugby World Cup Final (2.4m to 4.3m);
My 3.2m prediction was not far off the average, and someone got it alot more wrong than me, with a 2.4m guess.

Obviously im not going to name the person who predicted 2.4m, but you know who you are.

Ironically Charnham that player still beat you this week, have you worked out your final score for this week yet? I have you as 6 points from bottom of a very crowded table.

yeah I went back and checked that


have you worked out your final score for this week yet? I have you as 6 points from bottom of a very crowded table.
as for my final score about 41 points (46 over all), not sure where that will place me exactly.
On the plus side 41 points is not too bad by my standard, will be my 4th, 40+

blind week will obviously see my win, as you lot wont be copying from me

Unofficially of course for Charnham, I have just scored the average predictions for last week - ie if we have a player called Mr Average. It came up with 51 main points & 14 back up points. So Charnham don't ever let anyone call you Mr Average Ps I had you scoring 14 back up points (didn't you get two 5ers?)


blind week will obviously see my win, as you lot wont be copying from me
If I was naive (foolish enough) to copy from you - the phrase blind leading the blind comes to mind!

believe me, no one has ever called me "average"

Seriously I do need to improve my predictions,. im disappointing even myself.

well you should have copied me on Week 10 (Season 15) you might actually have a win to your name now.

Touche' Charnham - with my hasty edit above, it seems Mr Average just pipped me also. Although it is amazing what you can prove with statistics - I believe I was still in the top half of players this week.

we dont have to worry about how Mr Average does this week, its really up to Dancc if he gets to play or not.

Its a shame there is not a mathetical symbol for "average" like say for Pi (π) think how much time we could save just using that symbol instead.

edit: think I just found one

- 2011 Rugby World Cup Final (SPECIAL- 4.2m) averaged 2.8 points. Nobody scored a 10er.

This week's winner with a a great score of 58 points is: DimSum.

33	dylanpartyon...........	37	47
34	Dar W..................	36	46
35	harry_i_c..............	35	50
* Average score: 47.3 points. A massive 17 bonus points were awarded, possibly some kind of record outside of special weeks.
* Congratulations to DimSum! Very nicely done from you.
* Unlucky fall at the end there Jonwo, your lengthy spell without a win continues.
* FunkmasterT is today's biggest mover, up 13 places to finish 3rd. Well done on that.
* And especially for Charnham I have added 'Average Player' to the table, showing what the collective score would be using the average predictions of all 34 players.
* Fudd, is there something you want to tell us?

Well done DimSum. Seems like I'm extremely attached to C.M.W. in this week's charts... although I appear to have went down a lot. Predictions sent, although this being Pizza's schedule I am disappointed by a lack of comedy. You could have found something!

Congratulations to Dimsum this week, it was very close at the top half this week.

My 1st time scoring 50 points - (I wonder if Charnham ever will ) - looking forward to Blind week this week, thanks to Dancc for final charts.

Good luck to everyone.

talking of 1st, remind me the highest position you have finished?

Actually Dancc what is his highest finish? obviously he has not won, but I dont know how close he has been, in however long he has been playing.

Well done, DimSum.

Well done, dullagj2 and rzt, as well.

Sorry about the shortage of sitcoms, D.M.N. The Impressions Show will have to be enough this week.

grahamzxy began playing the DSRPG at the beginning of Season 15. So far his highest finish is 4th place, achieved in weeks 9 and 12 of that season.
