Women's World Cup is 2015 - no reason not to do it for then.

Great game TT. Wanna run it for the whole premier league season? If not the Africa cup of nations is only six months away!

You got my last two predictions the wrong way around though - I deserve three more points which don't really do anything to change the final ranking frown. Also can we see the spreadsheet ordered by final score?

Thanks for running that TT, it was fun smile And congrats to the winners - you managed to hold off being beaten by the bot! lol

Given the rampant corruption in the ACON, we might as well do a competition on a totally fixed endeavor, like Serie A. wink

I'd be down for an EPL game, though I suspect we'd have a much smaller pool of interested folk.

EDIT: Just realized I would have been 1 point off if I hadn't missed that day. I had the NED/CRC game perfect in my late prediction for 5 and while I dunno if I would have nailed the score in the ARG/BEL game, I definitely would have picked Argentina. So it goes.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

Didn't someone mentioned doing one that covers both EPL and NFL? That would be very interesting.

I put together a little graph showing the rankings over everyone by part (Round 1, 2 & 3 and then the knockout section).

The order is winner(s) on the left and then decreasing scores tracking to the right. The heights of the individual bar show where the person was ranked in the 4 scoring rounds.
  • You want to win - rank high in each round.
  • Pling wins the comeback award
  • Krill-bot performed poorly in the middle two rounds
  • gasper steadly dropped back
  • my results shows that I am the anti-krill

Ruff's graph made me go back and look at the score table TT posted - didn't realise I'd come third dance I thought the Krill bot had beaten me coz I thought it was sorted on final score.

I'd join in an EPL one if there was one, but I know less than nothing about NFL so wouldn't be interested in that.

I did.

The whole point of doing a combined EPL / NFL one is that half the group knows that Arsenal will beat Leeds while the other half will know that the Jets have no chance against the Patriots. The winner will have to do a little bit of research.

I'm just not sure how to do the 'correct score' pick for NFL. Maybe pick the team that scores first and the type of score (touchdown, field goal, safety)?
