 | Ian Volante After forgetting the format and screwing up round one, I know which option I'm rooting for. |
 | Andres S. Of course this shit would be on Friday the 13th |
 | Dan Southwell So under option 3 your score does or don’t end if you don’t comply!??? |
 | Fi Thorne I think the scoring only ends if stated in the rules so I assume it would carry on for option 3. |
 | Adam Latchford i decided to go backwards only to have to spend half of each round redoing the alphabet in my head to make sure i didnt cock up. better be 2 after that! |
 | Ben Bazzard Concentrating so much on reverse alphabetical order, didn't realise this was touchdown until rd.16
|
 | Maria Chandler I really hope it's option 3 - I forgot my alphabet in round 3 hahah |
 | Andy SC It's only Option 1 and 2 that the score ends due to non compliance. |
 | Dave Kempshall Anything but Option 2 please. |
 | David Holmes Have to hope for option 3 then |
 | Matthew Brockwell Wonder if anyone will go with the strategy that guarantees 20 points? |
| Adam Latchford tbf my main strategy was to hit a qualifying for option 3 seven in round 1, so that if it is option 1 then i'll have 7 points to some peoples 6 |
| Ravi Choudhary Very interesting, Adam. |
| Andy SC Option 2 was the scoring method for this round. Scores based on that method are as follows:
|
| Andy SC Top 5 after Day 13:
|
| Wesley Barton Wow what a devastating round |
| Ravi Choudhary Gambled for Option 1. |
| Andres S. Honestly thought my weird play would've been considered but I guess not |
| Wesley Barton I went for Option 3 throughout |
| Andy SC @Andres - You would have been fine for five rounds under option 1 but then then the invalid would have stopped your score right there. |
| Andres S. And for Option 2? |
| Dave Kempshall I think a lot of people used the same beginning letter, but a word that was later alphabetically on rounds for both Option 1 and 2 Andres, so not really weird play on your part. |
 | Tom Cappleman For option 2 Andres you failed immediately on round 2. It's not the longest sequence from when you try going in reverse, it's just from round 1 |
| Andres S. Ah okay |
| Ben Bazzard I completely misunderstood Option 2.
|
| Wesley Barton I think about 30% of my touchdown games it takes me one round to realise it's touchdown |
| Sarah Binns Dave K game wasn't in reverse alpha order |
| Tom Cappleman Oh, good spot Sarah. Can I have my win please Andy? |
| Show all comments | |
| Andy SC Cheers, Sarah.
|
| Dave Kempshall Unglad tidings :( |
| Sarah Binns Sorry Dave |
| Dave Kempshall :) Surprised someone didn't notice until now. I'd lost track of what option was which. |
| Adam Latchford Can you dock Sarah 5 points for being a grass |

The three scoring options are:
