On an unrelated note, I think the scoring system is not ideal. Making the correct result 3x as "valuable" as the correct tendency seems a bit steep IMHO.
I think a 1-2 system would be better or you use 2-3-4 (with 3 points for the correct tendency and the correct goal difference).

No, we were both on time for that one.
You're not taking my (only?) correct result away from me! 
Generally if I'm late like today or the previous day, I won't include a prediction for the match ongoing.

I see what you mean, but I disagree. You only get one shot at getting the right result, but many more chances to get the right tendency. Lot of results can get you one point, but only one can get you three.

I believe you predicted before the match had started, but the deadline is an hour before hand. Going from the forum clock, I think you were both after that time.

What about 0.5 for the correct team score, 1 point for the correct GD and 1 point for the correct result, for a total of 3 points in a perfect entry.

I think something like this would make sense, but it's too late now when we're halfway through the group stage to change the rules.

Ah is it? 
Okay you got me then.
I'll probably resign in that case, missed too many games, no point floating along the bottom.
Thanks for running this TT!
