If by some miracle it comes down to bonus questions I’ll change my 3rd bonus to Marcelo Brozović

[Gooner]

And the winner is... Mazza! It really came down to bonuses in the end, with Heisenberg snapping at his heels for the last two rounds. Congrats to Mazza and thanks for everyone for playing.

And before you mention it, yes there will be sigs for the top 3, hopefully by the end of the day.

I believe the main Premier League prediction contest will be going up soon. PrimeTime shall be running that as usual, but you may see me chip in from time to time to help proceedings. This tournament alone is a lot of work and Prime has been running the Premier League season for a good number of years now, so hopefully two people running it will alleviate some pressure.
