Olympic Prediction Game.

comment on the article

Hey sorry guys for the lateness(limited internet access). But I got the fixtures and here are the rules. For the first round it'll be simple you just select a winner in each game, however you will also add a "B" next to the fixture you are most confident about if you get it right you'll get an extra point, but it'll only count in the case of a draw between two people. However you must add it to a different team winning for each day(just to stop everyone adding it next USA all the time). Take a look at my predictions as an example.

Iran-Lithuania(W)
Croatia(W)-Russia
Greece(W)-Germany
China-Spain(W)
Angola-USA(W)B
Argentina(W)-Australia


Germany-Spain(W)
Australia(W)-Iran
Angola-China(W) B
Lithuania(W)-Russia
USA(W)-Greece
Argentina(W)-Croatia


Greece(W)-Angola
Russia(W)-Australia
Croatia-Lithuania(W)
Iran-Argentina(W) B
China(W)-Germany
Spain-USA(W)


Iran-Croatia(W)B
Australia-Lithuania(W)
Greece(W)-China
Angola-Spain(W)
USA(W)-Germany
Argentina(W)-Russia

results so far:

Iran 67-99 Lithuania
Croatia 85-78 Russia
Greece 87-64 Germany
China 75-85 Spain
Angola 76-97 USA
Argentina 85-68 Australia


Germany 52-79 Spain
Australia 106-68 Iran
Angola 65-85 China
Lithuania 86-79 Russia
USA 92-69 Greece
Argentina 77-53 Croatia


Greece 102-61 Angola
Russia 80-95 Australia
Croatia 73-86 Lithuania
Iran 82-97 Argentina
China 59-55 Germany
Spain 82-119 USA


Iran 57-91 Croatia
Australia 106-75 Lithuania
Greece 91-77 China
Angola 50-98 Spain
USA 106-57 Germany
Argentina 85-79 Russia

The places will be decided by the most amout of wins (similar to American style tables) for the first round i.e. I end up with 12-6, 12 right and 6 wrong. However the "Bonus"(which is what the "B" stands for) comes into efect if the two people are tied i.e someone else has 12-6, but I got two "B"s correct and he/she only has one that means I will finish higher. If there are any queries about the rules or anything to do with the game then just comment otherwise make your predictions and goodluck.


Final Tables:


Group 1:
1.TheIncredibleGunners(me) 22-2 + 4"B"s
=.MunsterbythegraceofGod 22-2 + 4"B"s
-----------------------------------------
3.celticfcdan 21-3 + 4"B"s
4.whitworthsam aka samdunk 19-5 + 4"B"s

2.Super_PAO 16-4 + 4"B"s

3.HOTSAUCE2323 0-0
=.killian red 0-0


After a tense first round he qualifiers for the final four are TheIncredibleGunners(me), MunsterbythegraceofGod,junkyarddog123 and Super_PAO. So congrats to the qualifiers and the link for the final four page will be posted as a comment.

I think it's going to be a Spain V U Suck A final ... let's just hope that the Spanish beat the Yanks as I'd LOVE to see them fail!
