Just to let you guys know, as from tomorrow, if you are late with your predictions, can you please have a quick look at which matches have already started/ been completed and write it in your post so SB and i know. Its in the rules that any prediction posted after the match has started is void, but unfortunately, its quite difficult for me to know which matches HAVE already started as im at work. To be fair, anyone who has has points deducted so far will have them added back on later when i do the scores :)

I think that is most fair. :ok:

It's hard running the competition in this respect as you can say that all predictions submitted AFTER start of play that day (usually 11 -12 am) are invalid then everyone knows where they stand. However this can mean that some posters who couldn't predict earlier are penalised and miss say 30 matches when they are only late on 5. I think we'll have to trust people to be honest and NOT predict on matches in play. If I'm around I'll keep an eye out on what matches have started and stick in the odd update, but I can't do it all the time, so perhaps others can keep an eye out too. :)

roflmao

Well that 'we don't normally bother with rules" statement destroyed all our credibility and vain attempts to appear professional about this! roflmao

Only kidding, there are usually only about 5 of us but this comp is a bit bigger. And of course emotions run high in slams and peopel will resort to all kinds to win ;) :D
