Fudd i take it as there was no mention of the "Guess List" being voided like "Britians Got Talent" and "Amazing Greys" it will still be marked on this weeks schedule.

Would it not be better to predict three different ratings for all football matches that have the possibility to overrun - match finishes on time, match goes to extra time and match goes to penalties? I'm sure that used to be the case, so I was surprised that we didn't do it for this match.

Week Two: Sunday Update
- Live FA Cup Football: Wigan Athletic v Arsenal (4.9m) averaged 1.4 points with no 5ers scored. Up 0.7m on average prediction. - Amazing Greys is void with The Battle for Britain's Breakfast taking it's place as a main. - Britain's Got Talent (SPECIAL) is void with Sweat the Small Stuff taking it's place but as a MAIN, not a Special. - The Guess List (SPECIAL - 3.1m) averaged 3.0 points. dazc claimed a 10er. Down 0.7m on average prediction. Both backup programmes have been promoted for this update. The current leader is dazc. The overall leaderboard looks like this: Code:
Main All 1 dazc.................. 39 40 2 xeo.................... 35 37 3 linnylou.............. 35 36 4 David Anderson...... 34 37 5 Roscoe Barnes.......... 34 36 6 basdfg................. 34 35 = Pizzatheaction......... 34 35 8 JustWonderful..... 32 35 9 AnthonyC............... 32 33 = Dancc.................. 32 33 11 Fudd................... 31 34 12 guestofseth............ 30 32 13 JB92.................. 30 31 14 DimSum................. 29 30 = remy................... 29 30 16 johnnymc.............. 28 30 17 Green Steel............ 28 29 18 dullagj2............... 27 29 19 rzt.................... 26 27 20 grahamzxy.............. 25 26 = Lion_60................ 25 26 22 H of De Vil............ 24 27 23 Jules 1................ 23 25 24 Jonwo.................. 21 22 25 clarky323.............. 16 19 * Quite a change from yesterday's update as dazc leaps to top spot with one day of the week to go. * Along with our leader, David Anderson is the biggest improver of the update - both players shot up 15 places. * Remember to make your predictions for week three! * Good luck with the final set of predictions.

I know; I think I simply overlooked the fact it might go into extra time this time around.
![]() I think we just need to be careful about putting knockout football matches in the schedule, unless it's a tournament final, and then refrain from putting the same day's subsequent programmes from that channel in the schedule, otherwise the forthcoming World Cup (from the second round onwards) is going to mean a lot of extra work for you, and is likely to cause a lot of disruption to the game for a few weeks. |

I overlooked it until twenty minutes before the end of the second half, when I remembered there wouldn't be a replay!

It'll be slightly difficult with World Cup knockout matches anyway as we won't necessarily know who's playing where when the schedules are published and which channels will be airing them. I sense it's going to be fun...

No worse than two years ago with the Euros/Wimbledon/the Olympics I guess... though Dancc was running the game for the former two events. This is my first time with so much uncertainty in the summer schedules.
