I missed the Man City bet Damned work! For the record I would have predicted 2-0 Man City...

Besty jumps out to an early overall lead

 

[bergamascho]

I should be on that leaderboard

For the record...you would be tied for last on the leaderboard (with 1 point)

 

[Captain Shamrock]

I had 3 - 0 for City. with Tevez scoring a hat-trick.

For the record...you would be tied for last on the leaderboard (with 1 point)

But I'd be on there!

Regs, just noticed that after the games have started, you cannot find what picks you have made, seeing as there are more than 20 games to pick on Saturday, I guess we have to print out our picks, true??? or is there a place for this somewhere that I have not seen?
Great contest BTW, I find myself looking at standings and results that I would not normally even bother looking at, sure makes an otherwise dull game that much more exciting when you are cheering for something!!!

 

[bergamascho]

Regs,

I second that. It would be nice to have a history of our picks and see where we went wrong and by how much. But yes, lots of fun. Maybe have this replace all the bookie events and have some sort of token cost associated with each pick and have correct picks rewarded as appropriate (wrong pick = 0, right outcome = 1 X Wager etc).

Do you say that because you can't win in the bookie contest?

 

[bergamascho]

No, no..not at all! I've placed 3 times now but since it is a soccer site, and this appears to be fairly low maintenance for Rags it might be a better choice since nearly all the soccer people are interested in is listed.

After the games have started, click the icon beside the game - you should get a list showing your prediction plus everyone else's.

Click on the league name in the left menu and all games will be listed, including what you predicted.

OK, a big bump for this thread...

If you haven't looked lately, get in there and start inputting your WC 2010 match predictions. There is now a rules link in there that explains the point system - pay attention to the bit concerning PKs.

Also when you visit the section (for future reference, I'll have the big Football Predictions tab in the main navbar at all times) check out the settings & options link - you'll be able to select some email options that will fire off reminders to you.

I'll be sending out an email tomorrow to everyone basically saying the same thing

Giddy Up.

Regs.

 

[Yoda]

Not sure how i missed all this, but got the email today and got my picks in! Great Stuff Regs, as usual.

 

[Regs]

If you go to the 'Live Scores' section, click on the soccer ball icon beside the game and you'll be able to see everyone else's predictions for that game.

To see the prediction standings, click on Season's Rankings.

Cheers,

Regs.

 

[Yoda]

Again, nice work!

 

[Yoda]

Regs, are the Rankings real time as well?

 

[Regs]

If there is a score showing, then yes.

Pacific 2010 takes the lead, and only 1 of 2 people to pick Italy to blow that game and come out with a tie.
