That 40pt penalty is looking rather arbitary and harsh.

Inspite of that, imagine how embarrasing it would be to then get beaten by a notreallythatinterestedinrugby Englishman... ;-)

It was based on maxxi entering round 1 and scoring -37. Wouldn't be fair for late starters to begin with a better score than he.

It would've been fairer to have worked around the average score not the lowest...

Not to maxxi. Besides there are only 5 rounds and one of the rules was you must enter all 5. Given the additional entries I asked for comments as to what amendment to the rules might be suitable, and none was forthcoming.


Besides there are so many potential points to be won/lost, -40 isn't huge. Also it continues to apply for other non entries.

To be fair RD, your opening round score of -27 was the week's best score by 15 points with the worst being -90 so I think the Unionmaxxi (as oppposed to the Assocmaxxi) of -40 is probably about right.


I'm also presuming it's 40 points per round missed so you wouldn't go top - but two more rounds continuing with your current success rate and you will end up on top. :)


Now, how many points for a basket outside the 'D'?


Italy 22 - 16 Wales

England 38 - 20 France

Scotland 34 - 17 Ireland

Damn you pesky maxxi, that'll be his Get Out of Jail card...it's not like I make up the rules as I go along in the Footy predictor game.

True but you haven't invented some tortuous Duckworth-lewis system for points either RD - just imagine the cursing and screaming coming from AM's house as he sweats over another Excel sheet.... "Right, well you got the result right but estimated too many points for A and not enough for B and there's no draw bonus and your name begins with an R and it's after 3 o'clock..."

I have the same problem with Miwwaw in the FA Cup Mick, it's a bruiser when it comes to points but at least one feels unsullied.

    • More interested in the future than the past. 
    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
    • I did see a few Victoria bound 185's on East Dulwich road around 5pm this evening. Coming from the Rye end and heading toward Goose green
