The Prediction League: Euro 2012

[Ivo]

Ivo make your mind up. In an earlier post you gave a deadline of 1845 now its 1600.

Sorry

Good spot. I've corrected it now.

 

[sonic2009]

I was going to post mine at 1800.

As history has it, valenta misses out again on something good. This time it is reward points rather than the title.

 

[andrew bell]

Are you looking for results after 90 minutes or end of extra time if it gets that far (if its in the rules on page 1 I cant open it as something wrong with my computer)

 

[sonic2009]

I would assume its 90mins, just like within the bookmakers.

This was mentioned early on. Results are only considered as they are at 90 minutes. Feel free to provide predictions for extra time if you wish, but they must be kept separate and will not count towards this competition.

Disregard this if you're only counting the top n where n < 10 for the quarters

I didn't think we would have enough players to justify it when I wrote the rules, so this does not apply. Therefore you're still in

My target for a Knock-Out Quarter-Final phase was 12. We only managed 11. It's not really fair to admit all but 3 in my opinion.

The three players who have not yet submitted their predictions for the Quarter-Finals have received reminders to do so.

However, this will be the last time that I do such a thing. Reminders will not be sent out for the Semi-Finals and Final, so if anyone forgets - tough! The usual failsafe of no bonus points and scores for later matches will also be withdrawn for the last three matches, so if you miss the deadline - you're out.

And if everyone does... whosoever should finish highest of those players in the Quarter-Finals will win.

Interesting how, for all the low expectations of England in this tournament, most players are tipping at least a draw (if not a win) for Hodgson's men...

All players have now submitted their predictions for the Quarter-Finals. Will fate be on your side - or will your chances be going the way of the dodo...?

 

[sonic2009]

If Portgual had scored just then i would have lost those points. Well done to that Czech Player

 

[Ivo]

In today first Quarter-Final, 2004 Finalists Portugal strolled to a 1-0 win over 1996 Finalists Czech Republic en route to a battle with either 2000 Winners France or Iberian neighbours and Defending Champions Spain for the right to a final showdown for the trophy. sonic2009 took full advantage of this game to claim the TPL's first-ever 10-point haul for a prediction (as opposed to bonus, as longer-term players will remember) and bump Ivo out of the top four. That wasn't the only change among the top few players though, as andrew bell disappointed with a two-point result (a one under the previous scoring system) to fall behind gnolife at the top once again. Is this a Final waiting to happen?

A majority of players scored six points, so the table isn't as "wild" as it could be. However, all possible scores did appear, leaving a rather familiar face with a wooden spoon in his hand - SS4.

There were three cards today.

Stupid effectual Czech player can do his job at the wrong end of the field *grumble grumble*

At least it's not a 90s gameshow booby prize

Which would people prefer - a fake Dusty Bin or the real Dusty Bin?

Or how about the classic Bus Fare Home?

 

[SS4]

the way of the dodo...?

Definitely the way of the Dodo. I'm simply hoping to avoid the wooden spoon . Greece's goal really buggered it up for me

Same for me as well we could still get a decent amount of points though with a 4-1 win.

That's Ivo's ten points flown out the window. Could we see 5 here?
