I’ve got the White Shite going down (24th) - I might as permitted by cannuckterrier edit it before kick off... IF... my good friend Lewis the Leeds fan nex door offers me one of his finest Kilchoman Distillery Drams that he makes across there so very well ! There’s been SIX new HTAFC garments sported by me this week but he takes it all in good (Kilchoman) ‘spirit’ ! 🥃 😊 No dram from Lewis but he does like ma away top so Leeds get off the bottom and are 11th and Queens Park Rangers are bottom as originally predicted ! Good luck to all my fellow competitors and thank you to cannuckterrier for organising this very fine contest for all his fellow Town fans ! 😊 |

They couldn’t even beat us last week.. On the flip side, I’m surprised that only four other people have Bristol City in the top half. I think they’ll be the ‘surprise package’ this season. The biggest shock of all is that you don't have us in your bottom 3 Bilo. Have you finally got tired of your "we'll be playing you next season" line? Had you 20th last season too, I think. |

Be advised that the standings will bounce around dramatically until settling down around Matchday 10. So don't be too hasty cracking the seal on that bottle of Laphroaic Westie  Table - Matchday 1 Max Points = 576
Town (First tie breaker)= Closest to Town’s position. Higher number is better
Hits (Second tie breaker) = Number of correct positions  |

So I’m gonna milk this for the week - or actually Lager it and Whisky it ! 👍 |

For the next table, which will be Matchday 2, I'll include the average of all the DATM predictions as a separate entry (see below) to give everyone a target to beat.
DATM Average
1 Leicester
2 Southampton
3 Middlesbrough
4 Leeds
5 Norwich
6 Sunderland
7 Coventry
8 WBA
9 Watford
10 Millwall
11 Ipswich
12 Stoke
13 Swansea
14 Blackburn
15 Huddersfield
16 Birmingham
17 Bristol City
18 PNE
19 Hull
20 Cardiff
21 Plymouth
22 Sheffield Wed
23 QPR
24 Rotherham
For info, the predictions for Town were:
Auto Promotion 0
Top 6 (3-6). 3
Top Half (7-12) 8
Botton Half (13-21) 28
Relegation 1
which means the vast majority believe it is going to be a tough season.

First of all. I have to apologize to Stewpot , mallyb , typical and, somewhat reluctantly, Marshleeds , for not including their WBA standings prediction in the last two tables, thus only giving them points for 23 vice 24 teams *. That has been corrected, ergo their rather dramatic rise in the standings. * note that the small print in the 'Terms of Reference' absolves the operator from any and all responsibility for anything that goes wrong. Table - Matchday 3 Max Points = 576
Town (First tie breaker)= Closest to Town’s position. Higher number is better
Hits (Second tie breaker) = Number of correct positions  |

canuckterrier I know its only for a tiebreaker but could you explain how the "Town" column works. We are 21st and I'm pretty sure I predicted 20th so thought I might have 23 here but only have 16 in that column. I think I understand the "Hits" column.

Was literally going to ask the same as I had town as 18th so presumed I would have had Town as 21. But it says 13. |

You and Bilo the Bantam should have 23pts. The actual spreadsheet is showing you both as having 23 however, it appears that the table I created to collate the data and post on here is askew with regard to the 'Town' number. The actual 'Total Score 'numbers are correct (sorry Convictatthemac) as is the total ''Hits'. Let me work n it and I'll post a revision. Sorry about the hiccup and confusion. I'm far from an Excel geek. |

The 'Town' number in the original Matchday 3 table referenced the wrong column on the spreadsheet. It has now been corrected. The total scores were not impacted. Sorry about the mistake. Table - Matchday 3 Rev Max Points = 576
Town (First tie breaker)= Closest to Town’s position. Higher number is better
Hits (Second tie breaker) = Number of correct positions  |

The 21 in your Town score is not Town's actual position but your score for predicting Town's position. i.e. You have Town in 18th. If their actual position in the table is 18 you would see 24pts. If they are 19th meaning you are 1 spot out, you would get 23pts, if Town were 20th you get 22 pts, if they are 21st, which they are, you get 21pts etc. I know it gets confusing. The only reason I put that score in there is because it is a tie breaker at the end of the season. The one closest to Town's actual position breaks the tie, which means he/she has a higher number in the 'Town' column. |

Positions continue to change rather significantly as a win can still move a team 8 or 10 places in the table. Around Game 10 the table should stabilize somewhat. Table - Matchday 6Max Points = 576
