TAKE A BOW, KAREN HUTCHISON
Congratulations to Karen Hutchison, Predict the Scores Euro 2024 Champion. Going into the Final, any of our top three could have taken the trophy, all selecting different results. Former Champion Brendan Keenan was heading for glory once again with the score at 1-1, but Spain’s winner means Karen finished with a correct score and takes the title. Karen was our Group Stage winner and at that point was 4 points clear - 12 points ahead of Brendan - but a disappointing Knockout Stage showing saw her lose her grip on top spot. It took until the 11th knockout tie for Karen to get her first correct score of the latter stage, but when it really mattered she pulled out two in a row to take the trophy. Karen is a worthy Champion - every score was predicted, no randoms in there, and she predicted more exact scores (12) than anyone else, without needing any bonus points. |
TAKE A BOW, GARY PEARSON
While Karen did her best work in the Group Stage, finishing 20th in the Knockout Stage League just enough, Gary Pearson saved his mastery of predictions for the knockouts. Gary was 141st at the end of the Group stage with a miserable 24 points from 36 predictions, before getting three of the first six knockout scores spot-on. Bad form returned with -4 points from the next three, but two more exact scores in knockout matches 10 and 11 of the 15 revived Gary’s fortunes. From there he’s stumbled towards the line and a Final prediction of Spain to win 3-1 was just enough to give Gary the 2 points he needed to take the trophy and ensure another 2nd place for Brendan Keenan.
More coming Monday night
More champions to be named including: who predicted the most correct results, our top predicting managers (excluding randoms) and our Mini League champs. |
