On the average Leaderboard: Those who played and have climbed this week are: spiidey up 1 to 6th; eightiespopkid up 1 to 20th; titty up 1 to 21st; Jester up 1 to 22nd; JakeyShake up 25 to 25th; girlsaloudjunkie up 1 to 26th; mark w up 2 to 28th & paulgilb up 1 to 57th.

 

The whole point of the separate average Game is for those of you who don't play every week to be able to compare with those of you who do play nearly all the time and would otherwise be higher up the overall Leaderboard and for newer members to join in playing this game later in the year.

 

Many Thanks to the 27 of you who have played this week. :cheer:

 

Apologies for this being posted late but I've been on holiday at a house which had a PC & Internet connection by no Microsoft Word & Excel on the PC.

Wow, I'm amazed I was top 10 this week - I was on holiday and spent about 1/10th of the time I normally do on the predictions, just to get something in.

 

I fear, however, that this week's predictions are going to see me in the lower half of the results though, particularly as I don't think I've got any of the bonus questions right :o

TIP, isn't this way for counting the average number of points you are using right? I mean i'd do it like: the sum you got this year e.g. 4493 and divide it onto all number of weeks of this year so far i.e. 36. For me personally It kinda seems a little odd that tpfitboy having played only 5 weeks is at the top :o

I think that's the whole point of the Average Leaderboard - to encourage new players or such who rarely play. I still remember my first entry into this game when I saw my name on the top of the Average Leaderboard. That got me really excited about TIP's game. In addition, if the results are counted as you suggest the Average Leaderboard will simply be a copy paste of the Overall Leaderboard. :)

Oh dear flop :(

I agree.

 

As TIP says in the commentary underneath the Average Leaderboard game:

 

The whole point of the separate average Game is for those of you who don't play every week to be able to compare with those of you who do play nearly all the time and would otherwise be higher up the overall Leaderboard and for newer members to join in playing this game later in the year.

 

I think that covers all bases.

 

Its the one I'm using this year as a barometer for me given I missed the first week, and highlights for me that my predictions haven't been as good as NA and TIP.

 

The only "downside" of the Average leaderboard is that if someone plays for the first time and gets a brilliant score (i.e. 130+) in one week, they could theoretically not play for the remainder of the year and finish top of that board. But this is mitigated somewhat since to score highly without having a good knowledge is extremely difficult; and furthermore TIP's 6 game rolling leaderboard provides us with a "current" state-of-play.
