nutty nigel 7,509 Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks again Inchy. Some weeks it‘s just not going to happen for us and this was certainly one of them. .Now for the stats. 58 of us picked this weekend with 37 correct, and 3 on a postponed game, making a success rate of 66%. Between us we gave Inchy 28 different selections with 17 winning and 2 postponed making a success rate of 65%. Here is the latest PUPs League showing those with over 50% correct from at least 50% of the available weeks. Beauseant stays at the top and has now hit 90% with Trent now alone as his closest challenger. The dotted line seperates the top 40 because only the top 40 at the end of the season will be assured of a go at the final selections next season.

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks for the stats Eddie. It''s tight at the top and also for the cut off for the top 40, exciting stuff. What % has the cut off been in previous years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excited Canary 19 Posted March 15, 2011 Exactly mid-table in the top half, that will do me! Thanks for the stats Nutty and also why do you never do the 6 selections? I have been on this thread for about 1 1/2 seasons and never seen you do it! Very unfair considering you keep this thread together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted March 15, 2011 Ray and I used to have a go in the early days Alec. We didn''t do much good and we were always quite happy to leave it to you PUPs when the interest grew. My contribution is what I do and I would much rather leave the 40 weeks to the rest of you. Richard - Last season the whole PUPs League was about 5% better with I think 7 Pups with more than 90%. The cut off point reflected that at 70%. I have no idea why this season has been more difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if only for a special occasion / one off, like we did with the world cup. Yourself in conjunction with 1 or 2 others who have been around from the very beginning making the final selections would be rather fitting.[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted March 15, 2011 You definatly deserve it NN. Been doing a wonderful job keeping this going.I''m not going to put any more effort into my picks now though :P I spent ages looking at one of those sites on the library on NISCA website, and then the best team in the league, well they kept there not losing since September, but didn''t seem to try and win. Blood French third division :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks for those sentiments. Maybe oneday but I really do think it''s best that I do what I do and leave it to you guys to make the final selections. It''s worked well as it is for so long. There''s regularly 60 PUPs pick and only 40 spaces anyway. And this year I''m outside the top 40[:$][;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted March 15, 2011 I was going to mention my new idea, that i pick the final 6 every week :P But thought that might not be very popular..... But unless i get the rest of the season right, i will still be in the top 40 :D And helping each weeks picker with my rubbish French Division 3 teams :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted March 15, 2011 Don''t worry about that crazy French result Pele. You have a success rate of 78% and have very often offered a different selection to the final picker so you are obviously doing it right. [Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
