To confirm it is most results correct before TB. I assume I am allowed a go so:

a) 1-1
b) 1-0
c) 15th Minute
d) 4th

TB optimistically 6100

Hey, where did my entry go?
I'm sure I posted early on Monday, as I asked about clarifying the rules too......!

Ah well!

BTW, before you announce the results, does (c) have to be exact or just within a certain range?

Controversial because as Mooro suggested I should have said that the time of substitution was 5 minutes either way. But I didn't...

Anyway based on that Hoglette wins based on the nearest attendance- suggesting 5583. How bad was that crowd?

Well done Hoglette.

Mmm, controversial indeed!

The only people to get an answer correct were myself and Radley with 0-0 at halftime, and Paul Cooper with 4th position. Hoglette did not get the time of the first sub exactly correct and the question didn't allow for 5 minutes either way so she didn't qualify for the TB.

So based on that only myself, Radley and Paul moved to the TB. Therefore the winner should be ... oh! ME!

I think The Bootmeister needs to proclaim!*

*How desperate am I?!?!

I proclaim that I haven't a clue. But custom and practice usually gives an error margin, and making the appropriate height adjustment and restoring family balance and equality, and at great personal risk, I'll stay with the setter's decision to award it to Hoglette ... (although of course if she fails to set the next boot, she'll lose points, eh, Dave?).

I believe the rules say half a point Colin!

I think that's the first time anyone has won a Boot without getting a single answer correct even though others did ...
