The Bulls News Prediction League has been updated for the final time this season after Hereford drew 2-2 to Peterborough Sports at a gloriously sunny Edgar Street.
Of the 95 competitors who submitted predictions for this triple points game, only Gullibull went for a 2-2 draw. That's a massive 30 points for them, seeing them rise 33 places to 35th. Overall, 85 went for a win, four for a loss and six for a draw.
Over the course of the season, we have had a whopping 6,067 predictions from our 152 competitors. That means, on average, for every game I've processed 112 predictions...
There was no late drama in the race to be crowned prediction league champion as nobody gained enough points to overtake Douglas Trendle. They have been leading the pack for five games, but have been in the top three for 12 games.
As was the case last year, there are small prizes on offer for:
- The top three
- The wooden spoon award for the least successful continuous predictor (lowest points tally after 50 games plus)
- The 'if only I hadn't missed those games' award for the predictor outside the top 10 with the highest points per game average (minimum 25 matches)
Vern Robert picks up the wooden spoon award for being the least successful continuous predictor (lowest points tally after 50 games plus). They finished 109th with 73.5 points from 54 games.
BullsAlive gets the 'if only I hadn't missed those games' award as the predictor outside the top 10 with the highest points per game average (minimum 25 matches). They finished the season 14th with 165.5 points from 47 games - an average of 3.52 points per match they played. Had they carried that PPG for the seven matches they missed, they would have been fourth.
I will be in touch to arrange your small prizes.
So there you have it, the end of the season and the end of this Bulls News Prediction League.
A quick thank you to all of you for taking part this season and hopefully it's been enjoyable (especially given rivalries with family and friends!).
