This was a high-scoring round, with the 27 entrants averaging 6.11 and scores ranging from 4 to 8. Seven of the eight results were correctly predcted by over 50% of entrants, the exception being the draw between Kilmarnock and Raith Rovers. Everyone predicted Greenock's home win over St Johnstone.
Three teams scored eight points, so congratulations to Alan at Cowdenbeath, William at Edinburgh and Andrew at Motherwell - 34k each for their clubs.
It's a two horse race as we reach the halfway point. Can anyone close the gap on Cowdenbeath and Motherwell?
We have a gap of four weeks before the next round on July 26th. I'll post the entry form in plenty of time for that.

I had a firend/ex-colleague who worked in a completely chaotic way. No time planning, no prioritisation, usually found chatting by the coffee machine or doing a crossword puzzle in the smoking room. He was a really likeable guy, very sociable and funny. Of course, he had a job to do, and things would eventually catch up with him until there was a CRISIS! And suddenly he would spring into action and work like crazy. This guy just loved a really big mess to sort out, so he deliberately created messes.
I wonder if David's a man who loves a mess to sort out....?

This was a tough round with an average score just under four, and two "impossible" results - Stenhousemuir's win at Albion Rovers and the draw between Annan and Arbroath. Add to this two more drawn games and it's surprising that three entrants managed as many as six points.
Congratulations to John at Livingston, William at Edinburgh and Willy at Forfar who each earn 34k for their clubs.
Round 5 is next Saturday, 28th June and features the match 19 fixtures from Division 2. The entry form is on the Notebook - twice - please use the one that says "PLEASE USE THIS ONE". There's a clue in the title if you're unsure...

If a tactic is being underused, perhaps the numbers should be tweaked to attract more people to use them. Ideally all available tactics should be viable, but with disadvantages as well as advantages. A bit like a game of rock paper scissors only more complicated.
