neutral  Derringdo: Ud fra teksten kan jeg næsten ikke tro, at konkurrencen handler om andet end fodbold. Hvis det er korrekt, vil en sådan en konkurrence normalt bestå af en tabel ligesom en rigtig fodboldliga.

Explanation:
Igen anvendes der fodbold-terminologi, og det bør man derfor også gøre på dansk. Det engelsk "table" oversættes typisk på den med "række", fordi det er det begreb vi opererer med i de danske ligaer. "it’s currently very close" oversættes i øvrigt typisk med "der er tæt løb" i fodboldjargon.
