Assuming both QI and B18 plays 3 picks next week, then here's what B18 needs:

X = how many points B18 scores next week
P = how many points QI scores next week

X = 3.7931 + (18P/29)

If QI scores 12 from 3 picks he is 89/29 = 3,0690
B18 passes him, if he scores 12 from 3 picks, but not 11 from 3 picks.

Assuming both QI and Darkie play 3 picks next week, then here's what Darkie needs:

X = how many points Darkie scores next week
P = how many points QI scores next week

X = 2.3448 + (28P/29)

If QI scores 10 points from 3 picks, then Darkie can't beat him.
Darkie would equal him with 12 points from his 3 picks, but lose on a count back.

Hmmm so the decision to play more picks throughout the year ironically may actually come back to bite me, losing the lead if we both go 12/3.

But if Bomber doesn’t get 12/3 then it’s easier for me to win by the looks.

Gonna be a tight finish! Based on Rowsus’s post, looks like it’ll have to be a simple 3 picks for me again!

Yeah, in hindsight, I gave people the soft option.
I was just trying to make a fun comp, and I didn't want to discourage anyone, who thought it was too hard.
The fact that 4/0 & 0/4 scores have dominated means the brackets need to expand beyond the current 10 points as well!
I think just the 'par' bracket needs to be widen.

A few unusual ones in there this week. I'm hoping 2 or 3 look easy, but turn out to be traps.

I eagerly await our 3 Leaders selections. Especially QI and Darkie, to see if they play more than 3, to circumvent B18's assured victory, if he gets 12 points from 3 picks, and his main opponents have also only played 3 picks!

Entry Form Here

Good luck, everyone!!!
