Predictions Game - a couple of points of order.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Firstly: where two predictions have been made for the same match, the one that is time stamped the later will be the one entered, providing it is within the correct timescale. So as an example, on Game 20 Portugal v Germany, Buff has entered twice, same score, different scorer, so in this instance as the one bearing Janket was timed at 21:25:28 tonight (19/06/00) and the one bearing Couto was timed at 21:26:33, then the prediction with Couto is the one that will go forward. (Chairmans Note: I'm not picking on Buff it's just that this is not the first time it has happened, but it's the thread that is most 'alive' to show as an example.)

Second point, and more importantly, Gus has quite rightly pointed out to me that I had incorrectly scored him for the Slovenia v Spain match. For some reason I misread his E Mail as being a 1-1 draw, when in fact he had correctly stated Spain would win 2-1 with Raul scoring the first goal....so that night we had THREE maximum scores. I have now double checked every E Mail to ensure that I hadn't done the same to anyone else, and thankfully I hadn't, so I have now adjusted the score sheet and will issue a new top of the table in a short while.

Sorry 'bout that....but it is just as well I kept all of the entry E Mails and score sheets isn't it.
