13 Snowball
13 Franconian Royal
13 Royal Jimmy
13 Royal Forester
13 Royality Creeps In
13 Royal67
13 MorganB
13 Seahawk
13 Mid Sussex Royal
13 Horsham Royal
13 Royal-we
13 Ever Hopeful

I THINK all the above are perfect

13 John Smith... Fine but no alt goalscorer, potentially throwing away points
13 Up North..... Fine but no alt goalscorer, potentially throwing away points

13 Regular John ....no alt goalscorer, potentially throwing away points
also
13 Regular John (but BRUM to draw from behind not stated, so if they do, that's 3 points missed)

08 Jackson Corner.
Wrong format,
No First team to Score/Half stated,
BRUM to draw from behind not stated, so if they do, that's 3 points missed.
No alt goal-scorer given, potentially throwing points away

00 LOLWUT, ATM, no entry from the guy who scored 27 last week. Have to be in it to win it.

Morning Snowball. As always, many thanks for all your efforts with running this competition.

Having read your earlier post with interest, and just trying to be helpful, I wonder if there would be any other way to capture the information you need using a different template. (I'm quite happy with how it is done at present but you often seem to get a few people submitting entries in a variety of non-standard ways.)

Your current format is:

Birmingham 0-1 Reading HT
Birmingham 1-3 Reading FT

Reading to Score First IN First HALF <<<<<<<<

0-1 (18) Reading (Meite/JOAO)
============================================
0-2 (59) Reading (JOAO)
1-2 (78) Birmingham
1-3 (85) Reading (Meite)

I think the following captures the same info and might steer people towards entering the details in a standard format. The text might even import nicely into a spreadsheet (using : and , as separators)? You could still provide a completed example plus a blank template which is pasted into entrant's replies then filled in.

Name: morganb
Match: Birmingham v Reading
HT: 0-1
FT: 1-3
Score first (or n/a): Reading
Which half (or n/a): First
Draw from behind: n/a
Win for behind: n/a
Goal, Minute, Scorer (Alternative first scorer):
0-1, 18, Meite (Joao)
0-2, 59, Joao
1-2, 78, Birmingham
1-3, 85, Meite

Would this work? It's just a thought and it may be too much effort to revamp any existing spreadsheets you have or there may be other reasons to keep the entry format as it is. I'll leave it with you to ponder. Cheers.

Really only one punter these days.

Just some people forget to state stuff, so reduce their potential score. Their omissions don't cost me time.

Thanks, BTW

I thought Seahawk was going to get his 1-0 >>> 1-1 >>> HT >>> 1-2

For that he'd've got another 15 points minimum, more if the winning scorer and goal was close


5 for predicting RDG win from behind
5 for correct final score
5 for correct 3-goal sequence

also if you get the correct sequence and any of the scorers' times are + or - one minute there's another 5


But in the real world, we folded
