Shane ,
This is the first time we ( a team of three ) are playing a game like this . We take lot of time before finalizing the decisions ( basically to get the maximum possible BSC score – 2 points , room for future rounds ). Also another imp tip is look at the future rounds expectations in terms of net profit and other parameters and prepare for the same atlease one round in advance. Also try to hit the max possible recap score i.e 240, so work back wards in terms of sales , netprofit , etc.

Good luck every one and thanks.

That’s good news.

The hand-off of the scores from MSI to the Times was the teansiest bit un-thought through, wasn’t it?

Good to have it here at last. Just when I’d mastered V-Lookups, specially.

Good luck for this afternoon, everyone.

Finally!!!!
Fantasy CEO Full Results Table are ranked by points order, phew!
(Recap not included in score, added at end)

Only took them ’til round 4 to sort the results into something we can look at and properly understand.

Anyway, fingers crossed for later on today

Thanks for the update Shane – please keep ‘em coming.

KR – D’oh! Now I feel dumb. Congratulations on consistently impressive scores so far, and keep it up!

Ron, I know other folks chivvied them too; I think they sorted it by popular demand.

Dar, you aren’t the only one who finds some of the scoring in some of the other columns like “profits” decidedly odd.

Incidentally, the total numbers of players is quite interesting:

Signed up: 3880
Round 1: 631
Round 2: 471
Round 3: 398

Good luck in the next round, everyone.

I had a look at the new tables and am quite happy I’m doing OK (that is, if being within the top 100 merits the joy) since I don’t quite understand the scorecard, or the other results for that matter.
For instance, I’m supposed to have about 70% share of the market but my own results -the ones in which I only compete against the other 5 computer generated players- tell me that I’ve only got 30%.

Where does that 70% come from?

Anyway, I’ve just uploaded my final decisions for round 4. Have fun everyone!

On with the show and good luck everyone.

Jen, you might get more luck if you email the CEO help email address – ceohelp@timesonline.co.uk

Ron, I’m glad you like this site, and thanks for saying so!

Andrews, KR, I’m curious how you come to those figures, though I’ve not tried to come to a figure myself.

K-Man, I emailed the Times and asked about the scores page and they said they were working on it and expected that it “should be better” by the end of the week. Shall we buy it some grapes?

Thanks all for reading and commenting.
