( League Lunacy II is the second problem in this set)
5 friends--Andy, Bob, Chris, Dan, Eddie--are playing badminton. They will each play everyone else once, recording their scores in a league table. Each game is first to 11 points. If the score in a game reaches 10-10, it is left like that and called a draw. However, since all of the players are close in quality, no player won a game by more than 5 points. The "total score" column of the league table is 3 for a win and 1 for a draw. After all 4 games each, the table was complete. Given this starting arrangement as shown below for the table, can you complete the table?
Wins | Draws | Losses | Points Won | Points Lost | Total Score | |
Andy | 38 | 8 | ||||
Bob | 0 | 37 | ||||
Chris | 28 | |||||
Dan | 32 | |||||
Eddie | 0 | 37 |
Input your answer as the total sum of all of the numbers in the grid. If you think that there are multiple permutations or that the table is impossible, input -1 as your answer.
Note:
The table is not ranked in place order, simply by alphabetical order.

This means that the minimum Points Won by any player was 6.
There are 2 things that we can determine from the starting grid with a certainty:
Next, we can determine the following for Dan:
Thus:
Now we can start narrowing down the Wins and Losses for Bob and Eddie:
With Bob's Points Lost being 37, we can now determine the following for Bob and Eddie:
The only things we are missing now are Bob's Points Won, and Eddie's Points Lost. Due to the fact that the sum of the Points Won column and the sum of the Points Lost column must be equivalent, if we find one, we can find the other.
Here, Eddie's Losses and Chris's Points Won are the key.
The sum of all the numbers in the completed table above is 4 2 6
