Changes (2023)

This year there is a live chart showing the score progress through the night in order of awards given, and you will see a progress indicator on the predictions screen, showing for which categories you still have a prediction to make.

There will be a couple of 'bot' ( ) players, such as one that makes random picks or one that picks the bookies' favourites - the idea being you can benchmark yourself against these - you should be doing better than random chance, and getting close to the experts' scores means you're doing quite well. (You can always hide them on the scoreboard).

I've removed the 'franchise' option when signing up, since that hasn't really been used.

Privacy

You will only get one email to confirm sign up, and one with the final results. Email addresses and any other personal information will not be used for any other purpose.

2022- as 2021, except dampening the score to reduce the variability in points
