Didn't notice something like this was going on. I need to read all the forums...

The thrice removed cousin of the Mystery Machine, the Derry Mean Machine doesn’t give up a lot of points but is the fifth highest scoring team. While the estranged sister of Aunt Edna, the Echunga Echidnas (it’s a stretch, leave me alone) is the third highest scoring team but does give up a lot of points. Put these three things together and you get a dart thrown guess of:

My question is, since all the tackles Curtis Keillor of Reasonable is getting seems to happen in the endzone, why are we counting them as tackles? The play ends when the offensive player scores. Having said that:

Just a couple of housekeeping remarks...

1. Re: the season predictions with many people picking Edlington based on the information prior to Neil's removal
    While I can feel that some may feel annoyed that they selected Edlington thinking they were in for a solid season only to find out that it was Neil on a second account and his subsequent removal from the league. I think it is best for the integrity of the game not to give a window for people to change their BC North predictions. I've toyed with this decision all day today and I feel it's for the best as it avoids anybody trying to game the system by changing other divisions they predicted. As there was only 5 people who predicted Edlington, it would be unfair in my view to those who didn't if others were allowed to make a change now based on new information about the Edlington team moving forward.

2. Week 2 prediction leaderboard
    I made an error in the Week 2 leaderboard in which two players were not correctly given the right scores based on the new points system when it came to the question of the week. Both Colonel Failure and Wombert were missing points that they were correctly meant to be given. This was a simple error and a miscalculation. The Week 2 leaderboard in the thread has been updated accordingly and the right points are now shown for Week 2 as well as Week 3 below.

Also, welcome to the game NanuNanu76.

Moving on to Week 3 now...

Week 3 Results
Game Result: Derry Mean Machine defeated Echunga Echidnas by 20 points
    9/11 predictions
    7 correct (Colonel Failure, kaldo, Vektrix, Wombert, Captain Lion, Kickjess, NanuNanu76)
    2 auto selections (wolfwithcats & Tolakram)
    0 with correct margin but wrong winner

Week 3 Question: Gary Mannino was the top tackler out of the top 4 from last week, with a massive 12 tackles
    9/11 predictions
    2 correct (Captain Lion & FlavourBeans)
----------

Week 4
Game of the Week: Sumpan Crazy Wolves at Maastricht Violent Vermin
Question of the Week: Bit of a fun one this week, but how many times will Tokyo QB Tiberius Shambles be sacked this week against Porth Emmett?
    5 points if exact
    4 points if +/- 1 sack
    3 points if +/- 2 sacks
    2 points if +/- 3 sacks
    1 point if +/- 4 sacks
    0 points if more than 5 sacks away
