  3. #3
    Everyone wanna put their name down so we know how many we got before we pay?

    I don't think we have time to do another list now, so everyone who's in please PM Pascal to get stars /mb etc and let's send $ before friday

    How many weeks depends on how many players but probably 8 to 10 for this one.

    From the other thread:

    Pascal
    Hoopy
    Cobra_1878
    joker131
    rong
    PokerKing
    The Bean Counter
    kingmotan
    ImSavy
    ST3

    That's 10, that would be $20 buyin each = $200 in the prize fund, we'd run it for 10 weeks and you'd get $10 for winning a week with $65 for overall 1st and $35 for overall 2nd.

    Sound OK?
  11. #11
    Me, ST3 and kingmotan are all 100% in and effectively paid (kingmotan has asked for my Stars name)
  12. #12
    Are you sure they were all 100% playing Pascal? I'm sure Savy said he may be interested but wasn't 100%, it depended on teams/how it's run or something along those lines.

    If we do get the numbers we actually have 5 at the moment as me and Rong are in, just waiting for a few more 100% confirmations.

    Ye, I'm not 100% I'll have the money before first game of the season. If I do I'll get it sent ASAP, but atm have me down as a maybe.
  14. #14
    I don't like this, "if everyone pays I'll pay" thingy , it's just wasting time. Even though it's normal to be AFRAID CObra! I'm gonna take all ur monies
    I do like that, Pascal, with first 2 getting paid overall.

    With 3 correct scores already, looks like you got this one Pascal.
    Please post final prize structure though..
  37. #37
    I just realised I can't send or receive money due to PS's licensing agreements, so I guess I won't take part after all.

    Current scores:

    Pascal - 10
    Joker - 8
    ST3 - 6
    Kingmotan - 6
    rong - 4
    cobra - 4
    pokerking - 3
    hoopy - 2
    TC - 2

    Two matches to go means bottom 3 can't win this week but still close at the top.

    I've predicted Chelsea 4-0, Man City 3-0, ST3 has predicted Chelsea 3-0, Man City 3-0 which means he can't win.

    Joker has Chelsea 3-1, Man City 3-0 so he needs the correct score in the Chelsea match to tie.

    Kingmotan has Chelsea 3-1 and Man City 3-1 so he could tie with two correct score results too.

    Prize structure with 9 entrants at $20 each:

    Total prize pool - $180

    10 weeks in total.

    $10 per week for the winner of each week

    $55 for overall winner, $25 for runner up

    WP for this week Pascal, Norwich vs Everton and Sunderland vs Fulham predictions were particularly impressive.

    Thanks Cobra, Norwich made some solid signings

    Current scores:

    Pascal - 11
    Joker - 9
    ST3 - 7
    Kingmotan - 7
    rong - 5
    cobra - 5
    pokerking - 4
    hoopy - 3
    TBC - 3

    Joker and I have the same score prediction for the final match which means the first week goes to me Obviously points in the final game are still useful as they'll count towards the final scores.

    Just as a thought, I think the game tomorrow should have been included in the first week. It's a little harder predicting this weeks games when they are 4-5 days away, especially with things like will a player be playing at the weekend or not due to injury, i.e. Kompany, or any transfers that may happen etc.

    Aye in hindsight it's a good idea, rong suggested Tuesday to Monday and I did that without thinking too much about it.

    I'll allow changing of predictions up until 11am on Saturday to make up for it for the weekend games and will send a PM out about it

    The Colts will win ~10 games this year, make the playoffs as a wildcard and lose in the first or 2nd round. Its going to be another 2-3 years before Andrew Luck makes a run at his first super bowl.

    omg there are two completely different sports both called football in different countries, think of the lulz that could occur if every time someone mentioned football we joked that it wasn't proper football, the other one was.
