Signed up... awaiting approval. :-)

It's not showing. You wouldn't have needed approval as you were on the list from last time. I just had them send you another invite. Respond to that and you should be in. I say all this thinking their computer system is up and running. If not, that could delay things. Pete

Thanks Pete... think I'm in now.

Yep, confirmed. Up to 14 now.

Russia's injury time goal cost me 2.25 points, I had the game at 1-0, what a bummer. All in all quite happy. Who knew, our resident rugby stalwart was also so good at wendy ball predictions. Well done pharvey, the chase is on.

Idiot over here decided to change Sweden from 1-1 to 2-1 at the last minute costing me a similar amount of points. I'm not battling for a top spot like yourself though, so no harm done really.

Onwards and upwards. At least no wooden spoon was received by me.

What's the deal with the head to head points? Do they get added on to your score?

[PeteC]

^ Only to the head to Head score, not the main score per my interpretation, which could be wrong.

"How this works

Each round, you go head-to-head against another member of the pool. Each match is scored in isolation with a goal of determining which of the two of you made the better pick.

If you get the winner right, and your opponent doesn't, you get 1 pt and they get 0
If you both get the winner right, the player with the closest margin gets 1pt. The other gets 0
If you both get the winner right, with the same margin, you draw at 1pt each
If you both get the winner wrong, neither of you scores anything

The points from all the matches in the round are added up, and if you have more than your opponent, you pick up 3 league points. If the two of you draw, you each get 1 league point.
Ties are broken by higher number of wins, then greater points difference."

Well that was a great deal of luck rather than any skill or judgment!! I'm sure all will right itself before too long....

[GLCQuantum]

Our resident football expert Pharvey is now sprinting ahead in the race for the title. Only him and Pete managed to grab any points last night.

I must say that, after looking through my picks this round, I wasn't particularly confident about any of them.

Anyway, well done Pharvey you jammy git.

[Big Boy]

WoW!!! just done my picks (staying faithful with the system), but I see the league has gone bonkers. I'm now in 12th position out of 12th. From first to twelfth in 2 races.

[PeteC]

Are you talking F1? You're 7th in both F1 and Euro 16.

[Big Boy]

Whoops, yes - wrong thread . Still showing me as 12/12.
