PREMIERSHIP REVIEW:

Well we have ourselves our inaugural Premier League Champion as Mr consistent himself Manos Die Piedra scores a healthy 7 in the final week to overhaul 88chris05 and claim not just the league title but with it immunity from relegation in Season 2. Missing out by just 2 points was Tophat24/7 who scored a hefty 10 this week to climb above his nearest competitors. 88chris05 finished 3rd but will be left ruing his final weeks picks as he had his worst points total with a meagre 2! Claiming the final coveted top 4 spot was Compelling & Rich who pips Randy77 based on having the highest individual score across the 4 weeks. Whilst those finishing in 2nd, 3rd & 4th will be disappointed not to have won the title their final positions does mean a later entry into the next OMPL Cup. Elsewhere lfc91 chose a good time to have a strong week as his 13 points steered him safely away from relegation, he will hope that he can carry on his good form and make a challenge for the title next season. Taking the mantle of ‘The Great Escape’ it was an incredible week for DavidBlunkettsUppercut whose ten points meant a last day escape from relegation...more Premier League predictions await for him next season. As for the unfortunate soles it was a miserable end to a miserable season for sodhat whose solitary point was never going to aid him in his battle for survival. Alanqlm, Ermietrude & DaveVDK join him with all three failing to get predictions in often enough to stand a chance. Incredibly AdamK joins them...after looking comfortable all season he decided that this was the week to fail to get his predictions in. The result...Championship football next season.

CHAMPION:- Manos Die Piedra

TOP 4 SPOTS: - Tophat 24/7, 88chris05, Compelling & Rich

RELEGATED:- AdamK, Eyetoldyouso, Alanqlm, Sodhat, Ermietrude, DaveVDK

CHAMPIONSHIP REVIEW

What a final weekend it was in the Championship as everyone fought tooth & nail to attempt to get into the glamour of the Premier League. In the end Imperial Ghosty ran away with the title amassing an impressive 55 points. He was an unknown quantity with his late arrival this season but has been the stand out player...based on his form he could surprise again next year in the top flight. 2nd place went to tomfinneywalksonwater who has consistently been in and around the top this season and thoroughly deserved his spot in the Premiership. The remaining 3 automatic promotion spots saw surprises and change galore. In a staggering final weekend ShahenshahG & sherm came from nowhere to steal their spots. 6oldenbhoy despite a meagre 5 points managed to cling onto the final automatic spot. As1079 had a strong week and his 12 was good enough to grab him a 2nd chance for promotion, taking 1 of 4 playoff places. Joining him is owen10ozzy & PPVxHOTTY (whose 19 in week 2 is the only reason he grabbed a play-off place rather than face relegation). The final playoff spot goes to Alma...at the expense of spencerclarke (separated merely by the fact Alma’s 2nd highest week total was more than spencerclarke’s). It was a case of heartache for soldier of fortune & barneyrubble who went from automatic promotion places to missing out altogether due to a poor week in which both only managed 3 points. As for the relegation places they remain the same...bellchees & John Bloody Wayne will think what may have been had they got their predictions in each week. Much like Knowsit whose failure to predict in 2 of the 4 weeks was always going to leave him up against it. As for Hampo171...well the form book doesn’t lie and his poor prediction skills left a lot to be desired. All 4 players will now be banished from competing in Season 2 and will have to wait for their opportunity to prove themselves. (Please note you will still be eligible to compete in the cup competition).

CHAMPION:- Imperial Ghosty

PROMOTED:- tomfinneywalksonwater, Sherm, ShahenshahG, 6oldenbhoy, As1079

RELEGATED:- bellchees, Hampo171, John Bloody Wayne. Knowsit

OMPL PREDICTOR OF THE WEEK AWARD:

OMPL predictor of the week was much easier to decide this week with only a few high scorers. In the end taking it by 1 point was lfc91 whose boldness and predictions steered him clear of any relegation aswell as helping him to his first Predictor of the week reward.

Just had a quick look at the results and don't think I called one right

I think I scraped together 6 points, and could well have fallen through the relegation trap-door.

What happens with Arce fight? Is that counted or is one of the bonus fights counted?

If a fight is cancelled, or if a fighter drops out and is replaced, that fight is then void.

As I see it neither of those things happened, so the fight does count, but with nobody getting any points for it.

Before Saturday I looked at the fights to choose a result and thought they were the easiest to pick of all the weeks! How wrong I was!

I was only just above the drop zone so i'll anxiously wait for the updated table!

Rubio never fought at the weekend, he is listed as fighting on 30th June. WTF is goin on here Owen!!!???

Last week, Rubio was down to fight on the 9th as well as the 30th. He obviously pulled out of the 9th, so the first reserve fight is used. Simples!

Who was he down to fight on the 9th?

His fight for the 30th is against Cayo which is what Owen used. Or was this just postponed?

Reborn - Rubio was down to fight last weekend..clearly he didnt so reserve fight was used.

ALL COMPETITORS RESULTS FOR THE FINAL WEEK ARE UP AND THAT BRINGS THE CURTAIN DOWN ON MOST PEOPLE'S SEASON, EXCEPT THOSE INVOLVED IN THE PLAYOFFS.

THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO TOOK PART HOPE YOUY ALL ENJOYED AND WILL RETURN FOR SEASON 2 ASWELL AS THE UPCOMING OMPC COMPETITION. HOPEFULLY THEIR WILL BE A FEW LESS TEETHING PROBLEMS NEXT TIME ROUND.

Not sure you should have used the second back-up fight?

That aside, a job well done and excellent use of the word 'demolishment'.

Union - since the Arce fight was ruled a no contest the 2nd back up fight had to be used..aswell as the first for the Rubio cancellation fight.

And cheers...Ive been waiting to use that in my summary. I see you just about kept your Premiership status!! Best get practicing for season 2. Oh and btw...a massive thank you for all your help this season..would have cancelled it in the 2nd week through stress if it hadnt been for you lol.

Nice job Owen, I love this league.

Hope its up and going again soon.

Celebrate good times come oonnnnnnnnnnnn

yeh you're in play off semi for 6th promotion place

Don't worry about that, Owen. I'll be dealing with you so you can wish Alma as much luck as you want.

Congrats Manos and Ghosty.

Cheers for running this Owen, well chuffed with promotion as a Preston North End fan I haven't experienced one since 2000!.

Ooooooooh second by 2 points!!

Great league Owen, well done, much better than UCPL (tho that might have something to do with me consistently coming in the bottom few in that one...).

Hope I don't do a 'Cardiff City', and thanks Owen for holding a top league, well done.

Yep, too quick out the blocks!! At least I'm still in it for next season and didn't get overtaken by Steffan!! That would have been too shameful. And Union managed to avoid relegation, so that's a positive. Good luck to everyone in the playoffs.

Thanks for all your hard work Owen. I think the league works really well being over a short format each season and having 2 leagues so keeps people interested with relegation/promotion etc.

Thanks again

champion to fourth not bad consistency, although this weeks was p!ss poor!

cheers for running it owen, you have a rough time when the cup might start? in wales for a week and might struggle to get internet

Cheers for the effort put in to running this league mate, its very enjoyable!(may not have been saying that if i hadnt pulled that last week score out of the bag though)
