Bristle soled

Post by Ancient Colin »

For each question you get two points for the exact answer but lose one point from that for every unit you are out by (so if we end up with a GD of eight and you forecast that, you score two points; but if you forecast seven, you get one point; if you forecast five then you score -1).

(a) What is Oxford's position in the league at the end of the evening?
(b) What is Oxford's goal difference at the end of the evening?
(c) How many points are Oxford away from the play-off spots at the end of the evening?
(d) How many points are Oxford above "those that cannot be named" at the end of the evening?

TB: time of first goal: if equidistant the earlier time predicted wins.

Forgot to enter myself!! I'd have been last anyway, being a natural pessimist.

GPT: 5 points
RR: 7 points
Geoff: a perfect 8 points (although it wouldn't have been perfect if I had meant Franchise, which I didn't)

Onwards we limp.
