The match hasn't started yet, so I hope the change is accepted?

Dirk is still on the heels of leader G.B while Super_horns narrows the gap between himself and the former. Leewilson 's strong score puts him a point away from Benji but both are a good way away from the top 3. Welcome to last request , who's joined late on in the season but is still very welcome!

CUP SEMIFINALS (LEG 1/2)

Vanni 2-9 Benji
Leewilson 17-14 G.B

Vanni gets a low score after missing one of the challenges but is still in it thanks to a poor round from his opponent Benji. In the other tie, G.B faces the possibility of a surprise elimination from the round's joint-top scorer Leewilson despite picking up more points than the two players in the first matchup combined.

 

[epic73]

[Vanni]

Say Senor epic73, is Benji predicting via pm? I know this is only a game but I'm not sure I'm ok with that tbh. Not that I don't trust you or anything but it is a tad unfair on the rest of us me thinks

Not quite elimination, still 1 leg to go.

Benji, Dave, and G.B are predicting from an external site because they rarely/never log into 1FF anymore. Anyone is welcome to predict via PM, and I can post screenshots of their predictions if anyone wants me to.

I don't think there is any need for you to post screenshots as I never questioned your integrity Epic. In fact, thank you for running this, you're doing a grand job and I for one appreciate it

I take back what I said as I didn't know that Benji and the others are no longer visiting this forum, thanks for letting me know. It's a good thing then that they're still predicting as otherwise it would only be myself and 3 or 4 others taking part.

Cheers Epic.

Two position changes as Leewilson and Super_horns overtake Benji and Dirk respectively; not a good say for the simple first names. G.B now has a 24 point lead at the top and the race for 2nd is very tight. Quick reminder that you will get your round 0 scores at the end of the season as well...

ROUND 0

1. Predict the Premier League champions (10 pts)

2. Predict the 3 teams to get relegated and their positions (3 pts for each correct team, 5 pts for each correct position)

3. Predict the top scoring player (10 pts)

Not much to say about changes in the table... Apologies for this, in retrospect I feel like I chose too many low-likelihood scenarios and not enough likely ones.
I've decided to postpone the cup second legs because I feel that it would effectively make the semifinals single-legged. If Vanni and G.B are both fine with counting this round for the cup (meaning they will both be knocked out) we'll count this round but otherwise the 2nd semifinal leg will be this coming round.
