dee_62 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Deary me! One bad score and relegated. That top league is fairly cutthroat. Let's hope I can yo yo back up like a 70s/80s/90s/00s/10s version of Dundee, rather than plummeting down through the leagues like the current version of Cowdenbeath (with apologies to all the Cowden quizzers) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Why is it me in the play-off when ADU scored 8, 7 & 6 to my 8, 7 & 5? Is it because he hit a low of 4 to my 5? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already had an irate text from another team (name tantalisingly withheld) claiming I'd fucked it up. Now I'm no stranger to fucking things up, but I actually checked all the scores about a zillion times cos there were so many ties. But you're right Eednud ... it goes highest score, then lowest score ... not highest score, then 2nd highest score (I suggested changing the rules a few pages back but there wasn't much enthusiasm!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I think highest score, then second highest score, then third highest score...etc makes more sense.Or you could do it on count back... highest Friday score, then highest Thursday score, and so on. It would keep the league interesting as teams would know one big score on the last day could seem them leapfrog more teams. Ermmm... obviously no changes should be made that affect my playoff place though.*whistles innocently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 As with every suggested rule change, we have a difference of opinions. I originally went with the highest - lowest - 2nd highest - 2nd lowest formula (if that's not too grandiose a term) cos I likened it to a football match - everyone likes to see goals and nobody likes to see no goals. Certainly having it first highest - 2nd highest etc, would make it easier to calculate. BWV's idea is certainly novel ... anyone else got an opinion? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I'm with BWV for a change of rules from next week. [emoji849] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_62 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I still like the semi nonsensical approach of highest wins/lowest loses/second highest wins/second lowest loses. I think it fits in with the overall bonhomie feeling to this thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Highest then lowest sounds a bit bizarre to me tbh Edit although dee_62 has a point Edited May 13, 2017 by madwullie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Opinions are rather like arseholes. Everyone's got one but not everyone posts theirs on a public forum. Not quite sure what I mean by that tbh But the rules shall change from next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 What are the rules changing to?I also think the playoff question is a bit unfair. Picking a boxing match from Welsh Bairn's youth, he's obviously going to have an advantage in remembering the fight in question.

peasy23 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 If I wasn't already out the cup then I almost certainly would be now, 4+3 for 7/14. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
