{football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)
A slightly different kind of league, starting with the 96 group matches that take place between september and december, probably 6 entry forms with 16 games in each. In later rounds there'll be knockout games, more details to predict etc similar to the euro2004 and copa america threads.
I hope that a number of non-regulars will add to the numbers again, makes it more fun. Ideally (and maybe too optimistically) I'd like 32 people to play, so the best 16 can go through, mirroring the real competition. The format depends on the number of entrants and public opinion. We could have a number of groups (between 2 and 8) or just have one big league. The first games are on the 14th. At this stage you only need to post "I'm in!" or something, but you can complete the first batch of games if you want |

Edit: I'd also vote for one big season long league, with two scoring systems. Total points, and average points per game, so people who miss leagues dont get too harshly dicked :) |

oh, and btw 1-X while i remember, cheers for putting all the effort into this, it must take up a fair amount of time, especially to set up, and it gives me (and everyone else who keeps taking part i suppose :)) a lot of enjoyment :)

Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)
thanks roadrunner and stew, praise is always appreciated :) but it's probably less effort than you'd think. I haven't put much into this one at all - the format is still undecided. I like groups but it's not easy to make them fair.
"DS9" takes the most time, collecting the predictions from the posts, finding all the halftimes and 1st goals etc, manually updating the table. The ordinary leagues used to be completely automated (once I've typed in everyone's predictions :eek: ), but now I have to adjust for the longshots and jokers too. On a full saturday, it can take a couple of hours (which is my own fault for adding new things) :rolleyes: |

I run a fantasy football which takes a small bit of time a week but I enjoy doing it, so I'm hoping this is like that for you. |
Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)
I do enjoy it (which is weird) though I liked it more when I was winning! I used to do the normal leagues manually too which, looking back, was insane. If I ever get too busy or bored, someone might want to take over :)

Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)
now it looks like we have 24 players....
the best 16 (after 96 predictions) will go through to the next round, the other 8 will be out :( we can do this in one big league, or split it into groups, eg. 4 groups of 6, (with the bottom 2 in each going out), whatever a few opinions prefer |

Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)
And im all for "Champions League Manager" groups of 4 (and one group of 5)
|
Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)
I liked groups of 4 too, ideally with 32 players which isn't going to happen
top two in each group could go through, and the 4 best 3rd places also, I like making the groups :devil: eg. group A : Zharkov, at0mic.c0w, Leshy, Kurashima :D |

Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)
right then, I done some groups :)
basically I used the 'league of leagues' averages for this season so far to order the regulars and put the new players on the end in entry order. Seems fair to me. Pool A : Lupin, Zharkov, Kurashima, Rids, roadrunner, Deffeh Pool B : Inferno, Blastoderm, Ragnarak, Phang, 1-X, SYMM Pool C : Stew, JC, Non.Human, JonnyBGood, midge5, Apothos Pool D : LHC, Leshy, Skiddy, Curufinwe, smudge, at0mic.c0w, mpr0733 from random.org 243165 465231 542136 7314265 last player goes in : group B Code:
Group A Group B Group C |
Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)
not bad at all, looks to be fair and it doesnt look like any group is the group of death, results should be interesting :)
ps, anyone watching the arsenal psv mathc? couple of things: 1. psv are playing like a bunch of pussies, sort of understandable at highbury though with arsenal in this form 2, how ****ing often is the commentator saying the word 'punish' is he a closet s&m freak or something? |

Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)
to be fair, they do seem to have put more effort into the game and opened up a little in the second half
|
Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)

Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)

Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)
Oh so it's gonna be like that is it?

Re: {football} champions league prediction thing (starts 14th)
I blame the teams for not coming up with the necessary surprises.
