I had a little difficulty deciding on the final scores. The only seemingly viable headlines I saw were maryport's "Obama Scrapes Home" and Paul Bearer's "Cow tramples woman walking dog."

 

Maryport's line includes a subject noun and a verb so it scrapes home. I accept it.

 

And for Paul Bearer's line, unfortunately I dont believe I ever made a rule regarding plurals. Paul chose the wording "Cow tramples" while the news headline says "Cows trample."

 

 

 

 

 

 

With that said... maryport's 12 point gain is still not enough to reach the top. I declare Paul Bearer the winner of Predict The Paper 2012!

Is this still going on?

 

No, but you could start a new game if you'd like...

 

Nah, haven't got the time. I wasn't sure if it had been started up for this year though.
