Ranking of 2022 Atlantic hurricane season predictions

As I'm writing this, post-season analysis has advanced to the point, that any changes in seasonal totals (14-8-2) are unlikely. The winner is clear: Congratulations Telford Holmes !!!!! The combined error is calculated as follows: sqrt( (E_ns)^2 / 12.1 + (E_hu)^2 / 6.4 + (E_mh)^2 / 2.7 )   where E_ns is error in number of nameable storms, E_hu is error in number of hurricanes and E_mh is error in number of of major hurricanes. The following has the format of ranking. / predicted named storms / predicted hurricanes / predicted major hurricanes / combined error / and Disqus/Twitter handle at time of giving prediction (possible Twitter account name in parentheses)  1. / 14   /  8 /  3   /  0.60858 / Telford Holmes  2. / 14   /  7 /  3   /  0.72569 / Rommel Gomez Vera (@habboerwin98)  3. / 16   /  8 /  3   /  0.83723 / elioe (@elioeFIN)  4. ...
