 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Ouch. We did really bad this week. After all the scores I read in here I was sure I'd reach the Top 20 again. Turned out not even the Top 50...

Yeah - it's obvious EP won't perform exactly like AHOV, and you can't quite compare Sydney White to She's The Man since the latter was released in March.

We said 5.1 OW, it did 8.8 or something. We said 3.7 second weekend, it did 4.8/4.9.
And it's still in the Derby.

And it's still in the Derby. Yeah, that one could be a problem. I'm not happy with the way I've played the last two weeks and really need to get my act in gear. It's pretty sad that my best lifetime score was in my very first game, which were pretty much total guesses.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Congrats sidewinder66 for the win! Wonderful job on the openers. Thought my rank would be lower given I pretty much got the worst score of everyone here on The Game Plan. A few holdovers saved me. Still good job Vov to trim the yearly lead down to 37-38 now. The whole Russian contingent did well.  And another excellent week for Omni/Corpse.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
13th, 90.46% 7th for the Month.
And much better week for, I think, everyone. I'm not expecting that to last though given there's 37636 new releases in OCT.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Congrats to sidewinder on the win! Omni & Corpse remain on fire - I'll have what their drinking!  Vovanik and several others have been on a tear of late. Nice to see a rebound after a tough outing last week.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
thanks a lot all of you. I never thought, I could actually win one week. Very happy also with my score and the fact that I got 3rd for the month.
well, still a lot to learn to keep up with the really good predictors on this site!

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Looks like we're going to have a really low Derby average this week. I wouldn't be surprised to see some unknown player win it with their seemingly random guesses.

Necronomic has about 81%. It's a good chance for him.

Failed to break 70% for only the 4th time ever. 6 wide releases to predict.
