Well done to NoiseAddict for his second win this year! Good results too for paulgilb and Harve in a joint second place! :cheer:

In the overall scoreboard NoiseAddict move up to number 1 while as predicted I'm slipping down to number 2. Thisispop is also very close to the top spot. Still a long way to go and with some good results anyone could move up on the scoreboard! :cheer:

Round 14 - for Sunday 6th April

Keep on predicting! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

I'm really glad with this week's results. First time for me on top of the standings in this game. :)

Yay happy with 6th

Yer, can you explain to me how this game's actually scored, like say if you miss a song completely out of your top 10 altogether but it actually charts at No2 what happens?

Does it score on the artist you placed at that number eg - Chris Brown at 9, was actually at 8

or on the actual number like you said Sugababes at 7 but actually it was Alphabeat at 7.

mehh im confusing myself!!

Yep, that was a bit confusing. Here is how to score:

The game is simple: you have to predict next weeks top 10. If YOU are the closest to the real top 10 you will gain the maximum points!

The scoring: The number of places you are away from the real chart positions is all added up, and the players are ranked, so the person with the least number of points is 1st, and then 2nd etc. Then, from being 1st, you are given corresponding points depending on the number of players. for example, if you are 1st and there are 22 players, you get 22 points. 2nd gets 21, 3rd gets 20 etc. If there are ties the points for first and second etc. will be shared (pts for 1st place + pts for 2nd place / 2 (depending on how many players are tied).

- You can get extra points if you answer 3 bonus questions. The first question is always the most difficult, therefore if you answer correctly you can get 5 extra more points. For the second correct answer you can get 3 more extra points and for the third 2 more extra points so a total of 10 more extra points!

If you predict a song inside the top 10 but it misses the top 75, it will be ranked as number 76.

If you don't predict a song which is though in the top 10, it will not count in your score, so 0 will be added to your score. Only those songs count in your score, that you've predicted.

Is it now a bit clearer?
