Sigh.... damnit, ruined the thread title... gonna lock this one.  

Here once again is the 10 week countdown which has now become an annual feature of sorts, basically this thread can be a discussion about what we all expect for the last ten weeks of the year, and anyone willing can make a prediction for the run of weeks. (see next post for how to make predictions)

This year the final ten weeks run from the week ending 30th October to the week ending 1st January... Going by the calendar this is set 1 day earlier than last year, which was the 10 weeks ending 2nd Janurary. (keep in mind that the "week ending" dates refer to the Saturday, which is when tracking weeks end for America and Europe, but Japan tracking ends on a Sunday, so add 1 day onto the dates below)

Week 1: 24th Oct - 30th Oct
Week 2: 31st Oct - 6th Nov
Week 3: 7th Nov - 13th Nov
Week 4: 14th Nov - 20th Nov
Week 5: 21st Nov - 27th Nov
Week 6: 28th Nov - 4th Dec
Week 7: 5th Dec - 11th Dec
Week 8: 12th Dec - 18th Dec
Week 9: 19th Dec - 25th Dec
Week 10: 26th Dec - 1st Jan
