Difference Indicator5

Once again:
-   The better score from the results of all 12 will be the winner.
-   If players cant be separated over the 12 games, then the best score from the initial 7 will be the winner.
- If there is still no splitting of players, then, in order, the results of the 8th game through to the 12 game will be used. First player to pick a winner and gain a point advantage sequentially in those games, is the winner.


May 17:

If I remember rightly, last years promotion relegation games descended to near farce when both players picked so similar that additional games were needed.

To avoid this, I will set up more games initially, as well as set a rule to help break a deadlock.

First, lets choose 12 games,
The better score from the results of all 12 will be the winner.

If there is no score difference, the the best score from the initial 7 will be the winner.

If there is still no splitting of players, then, in order, the results of the 8th game through to the 12 game will be used. First player to pick a winner sequentially in those games, is the winner.

Example, if Rudi gets the 8th game right and Dem doesn't, then that is the deciding outcome. The 9th game and onward are no longer in play.

Got it?

Right here we go...

DemP, despite winning his last game,needed Rosso to lose to avoid the drop, but Rosso also won. Dem will  play a special one off matchup this weekend.


In Division 2, the title race and promotion spots were still up for grabs in a hotly contested race. There were SIX players vying for the three promotion spots heading tn the weekend, and in order they were:

1@RudiEdsall38
2@MattGoss_37
3@kosifantutti36
4@melatonii36
5@ASpeedingCar35
6@BrotherAmos35


The results of the Div 2 final round were:

@Lucrious3,@TheTipsGuru2
@NickTheStatsGuy1,@melatonii4
@Smithj_433,@ASpeedingCar4
@LaurenceRosen, -BYE-

Rudi and Kosi's draw,meant that Matt's win sent him to the top. Melatonii also won so he jumped over Rudi as well. The Speeding Car also won to further shuffle the players at the top.

The final Table for Div 2 is.

@MattGoss_
and he will be promoted with 
@melatonii

Well played both on a great season.

Rudi has another chance to gain promotion as the opponent to DemP this weekend.

At the foot of the table, Cam's draw and Smithy's loss sees the latter finish second last, with Laurence on the bye unable to improve on his last place finish.

There will be a special blog post for the promotion / relegation playoff game between Dem and Rudi out soon.
