IKTS Week 12 - Buy the dozen

A dozen roses or a dozen points, but money cannot buy happiness. Let us go back to our less philosophical pursuits...

Only sammy dog scored 10 points this week, the other contestants finishing with 6 to 9 points, and nobody scored more than a single IKTS point. Week 11 scores:

sammy dog 10 (1)
ClevelandJames 9 (1)
Geaux_HR 9 (1)
Ray from Norfolk, Virginia 7 (1)
hansdampf 7 (0)
inthekcmix 6 (0)
unclf14 6 (0)

Star of the week: sammy dog obviously, followed by ClevelandJames and Geaux_HR who are tied for the silver medal for this week. The others are not too far behind.

Clever pick of the week: Ray from Norfolk, Virginia was the only one to pick West Ham to beat Burnley at home, landing a point, thanks to a tip from a coworker.

Crisis pick of the week: unclf14 was the only one to not predict a win for Leicester at Cardiff; the others knew the Foxes will win to pay homage to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

After week 11:

hansdampf 117 (16)
sammy dog 104 (18)
ClevelandJames 102 (12)
Geaux_HR 98 (13)
Ray from Norfolk, Virginia 93 (11)
unclf14 92 (12)
inthekcmix 62 (5)
Captain Kirk Three 26 (2)

It looks like sammy dog and ClevelandJames are creeping slowly on hansdampf, but everybody (heck, even Captain Kirk 3 if stellar predictions help) is still in the contest. Please place a notification if you see any oddities about the scores, and a recount will be conducted, in keeping with our electoral commission’s statutes. Just kidding…

Europa Cup game: Nobody picked any points, except Sporting who picked one point. The standings remain the same.
