    I guess @LucyFearsTheMorningStar can do a much better job with her formulas in Excel than I can do manually, but: 1) I don't want to put all the pressure on her to keep us updated; 2) even with automatic machines at work I guess a double-checking is never a bad thing :p; 3) I like the "tradition" of showing here all the pointings and not just the final results, as @SiberianThunderT was doing: you can more easily spot any mistake, you can gauge where you did better and where you did worse, you can compare your results match by match with opponents, and so on...

    So, I am going to try to use the same format STT was using for pointing weeks 9, 10 and 11 (with week 11 having two matchdays in it). Not sure if I am going to do it all in a single post (or in a single day, for that matter). Let's go:

    Week 9 (please check your scores; also: I had spotted a mistake made by STT in weeks 7/8's pointings, so I am going to add two points to myself that had been took away from me for no reason; should anyone know of similar mistakes, please let us know):

    59Amerinorsk : 41pts + 0+1+1+1+0 = 44pts / 46g
    babranski : 7pts + x+x+x+x+x = 7pts / 10g
    Blaze20 : 53pts + 0+2+2+1+0 = 58pts / 46g
    blissett : 49pts + 2 + 0+1+1+0+1 = 54pts / 42g
    BlueCrimson : 46pts + 0+2+2+1+0 = 51pts / 46g
    CoachJon : 45pts + 0+2+1+1+1 = 50pts / 46g
    cpthomas : 11 pts + 0+2+2+1+0 = 16pts / 10g
    holden : 46pts + x+x+x+x+x = 46pts / 40g
    lil_one : 53pts + 0+2+2+1+0 = 58pts / 46g
    Lucy : 46pts + 1+2+1+1+0 = 51pts / 46g
    lunatica : 56pts + 0+1+2+2+0 = 61pts / 46g
    Smallchief : 44pts + 0+2+1+1+0 = 48pts / 42g
    STT : 36pts + x+x+x+x+x = 36pts / 36g
    weelilbit : 3pts + x+x+x+x+x = 3pts / 2g

    I won't comment (positions, average points, winners and losers, top three, and so on) about matchdays that have already been surpassed by subsequent events. Just hope I counted everything right! :x3::p

    Stay tuned for weeks 10 and 11.

    Week 10 (same disclaimers as before):

    59Amerinorsk : 44pts + 0+1+1+1+2 = 49pts / 51g
    babranski : 7pts + x+x+x+x+x = 7pts / 10g
    Blaze20 : 58pts + 0+2+2+1+1 = 64pts / 51g
    blissett : 54pts + 1+1+0+0+2 = 58pts / 47g
    BlueCrimson : 51pts + 0+2+0+1+3 = 57pts / 51g
    CoachJon : 50pts + 0+2+1+1+3 = 57pts / 51g
    cpthomas : 16 pts + 0+0+1+0+1 = 18pts / 15g
    holden : 46pts + x+x+x+x+x = 46pts / 40g
    lil_one : 58pts + 0+2+1+1+3 = 65pts / 51g
    Lucy : 51pts + 0+1+1+3+1 = 57pts / 51g
    lunatica : 61pts + 0+2+1+1+3 = 68pts / 51g
    Smallchief : 48pts + 0+2+1+1+3 = 55pts / 47g
    STT : 36pts + x+x+x+x+x = 36pts / 36g
    weelilbit : 3pts + x+x+x+x+x = 3pts / 2g

    I'll only note that in this week I tried to grab on my 4th position with nails and teeth, by reaching 58 pts, while at my heels three people (BlueCrimson, CoachJon and LucyfearsTheMorningStar) were approaching at 57 pts! :x3: I am sinking! :p

    Week 11 (this one will be a little harder, with two matchdays in it):

    59Amerinorsk : 49pts + 0+0+1+0 + 2+2+2+1+1 = 58pts / 60g
    babranski : 7pts + x+x+x+x + x+x+x+x+x = 7pts / 10g
    Blaze20 : 64pts + x+x+x+x + 1+1+1+3+3 = 73pts / 56g
    blissett : 58pts + 1+0+0+3 + 0+1+1+3+1 = 68pts / 56g
    BlueCrimson : 57pts + 1+1+1+2 + 0+1+2+2+1 = 68pts / 60g
    CoachJon : 57pts + 2+2+1+0 + 1+1+1+1+1 = 67pts / 60g
    cpthomas : 18 pts + 1+2+0+1 + 1+3+1+2+0 = 29pts / 24g
    holden : 46pts + x+x+x+x + x+x+x+x+x = 46pts / 40g
    lil_one : 65pts + x+x+x+x + 1+1+2+0+1 = 70pts / 56g
    Lucy : 57pts + 0+2+2+1 + 1+1+2+1+1 = 68pts / 60g
    lunatica : 68pts + 0+1+0+2 + 0+0+1+0+1 = 73pts / 60g
    Smallchief : 55pts + 1+2+1+1 + x+x+x+x+x = 60pts / 51g
    STT : 36pts + x+x+x+x + x+x+x+x+x = 36pts / 36g
    weelilbit : 3pts + x+x+x+x + x+x+x+x+x = 3pts / 2g

    If my calculations are correct, we are entering week 12 with the following situation:
    - Blaze20 and lil-one missed the mid-week matches :x3:, but lunatica somehow compensated for that by scoring just 2 pts for the subsequent week-end matches. So we now have Blaze20 and lunatica tied at 73 pts, with lil_one chasing at 70;
    - I somehow managed to remain in 4th position :p, although I am now head-to-head with BlueCrimson and LucyFearsTheMorningStar, and CoachJon is just one single point behind;
    - cpthomas is scoring quite well: he missed a lot of matchdays, but he could happen to catch up with some people by the end of the season;
    - Smallchief was having a quite good streak, closing the gap with the positions just outside the podium, but he missed the week-end matches and bounced back. :(

    no issues here. I figured out why my numbers were off anyway as I wasn't accounting for the +1 if you get one teams score correctly. Still slight differences. I put together screenshots of the weeklies and tossed them on a google site if you want to try to double check #s.nothing pretty: https://sites.google.com/view/nwsl/

    Thanks!

    4pm: no injury reports for teams except BOS and CHI, so only 1 game prediction for now. Boston is honoring Tony DiCicco with a big fanfare and lots of former players, family, etc.
    As far as I know, Allysa Naeher will be the only player in the game who played for Tony (U20 World Cup and 2011 Breakers).

    Bos - 1; Chi - 1

    I see differences are in the range of 1-2 points (except for 59Amerinorsk: there must be something off here! :eek:): I do wonder if it's me who made those slight mistakes or if it was STT (I actually picked up from where he had left, without checking all of the previous results).
    Not sure when I'll have the time to do that, but I am in fact going to double-check, with the help of your site, @LucyFearsTheMorningStar, starting with my pointings and, if it will be the case, remounting back to STT's ones, so maybe we could reach a final agreement about the "actual" current rankings! :laugh:

    Nope. That was my bad. 59amerinorsk is at 58. Mistyped username name one week and didn't fix that table even though the file was sitting there waiting for me

    I checked with your site, @LucyFearsTheMorningStar, and, quite incredibly, it looks like my pointings for last three weeks were all right! :geek: If there are mistakes, then, they have to be lost somewhere in previous pointings by STT (who, in fact, had already been seen missing something, from time to time). I have to confess that it's much more difficult for me to dive into the checking of all of these previous matchdays, since it wasn't me who made the calculations, but, for the sake of finally having a final version of the rankings, I could persuade myself to do that, sooner or later. :sleep:

    Meanwhile, Chicago damaged the predictions for many of us, since they weren't able to convert all of the chances they had in Boston! :x3:

    WAS and NJ gave me two come-from-behind "wins," however POR failed to overcome HOU, resulting in correctly predicting two draws and two wins out of five. A good week for me. :)
