Fair and democratic means NOT changing the rules in the middle of the playoffs. If you want a rule changed for CLPT to accept scores of suspended matches at the point of suspension rather than the official UEFA score, you can fill out an application after the season is over and mail it to:

It's not about winning and losing, it's about right and WRONG! :roll:

It may still matter for tie-breaker purposes (e.g., if it comes down to points scored)

by **Boye B** on 13 Apr 2005, 14:49

Hmmm... I forgot there was a precedent. I guess we'll have to wait for the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Board's decision.

by **Campeones** on 13 Apr 2005, 16:41

Damn, I thought I had predicted a 1-1 draw for Juve-Pool but turns out I said 2-1. I need PSV to score a game winner in overtime, otherwise the Inter suspended game is a moot point other than for tiebreaker purposes.

by **....** on 14 Apr 2005, 00:57

Thank god they didn't score in overtime. My predictions yesterday sucked.

I guess that stuff about Milan doesn't matter now; just had a look at the scores and I think Boye and I won our matches regardless. So whatever rules apply here, it's fine with me.

by **Boye B** on 18 Apr 2005, 06:16

Surprisingly, my UPC match against Marko ended in a draw. Who would have thought?

by **....** on 18 Apr 2005, 11:47

Yes, it's a good group, but Deimos may deserve disqualification? That would put the rest of us who are still predicting through.

by **bineaz** on 18 Apr 2005, 14:06

Why didn't you guys tell me. As big as Demios' shoes are to fill, and as the higest ranking player ever not to play in the Uefa CLPT, that is willing to play., I'll show up. Whom do I play in the final

by **Eusebio** on 22 Apr 2005, 08:40

It's pretty clear that Norwegian Europhil will win the CLPT. Afterall, he set the rules and the system :wink:

by **Zeus** on 22 Apr 2005, 10:50

Don't disqualify Deimos!!! Otherwise the worst predictinger will pass the round too!

by **Falc** on 22 Apr 2005, 17:01

Are you referring to me? I do not know how I got this far. I guess a blind squirrel can find a nut too.

by **Campeones** on 22 Apr 2005, 17:26

Absoutely disgusting

by **Boye B** on 23 Apr 2005, 22:58

Well, I don't know where Deimos has gone. He did participate in the first couple of matchdays of the UPC earlier this winter, so it's quite possible he might return.

by **Felix K** on 26 Apr 2005, 04:46

Boye:

Did you not receive my predictions for the UPC? I did send them to you last Friday already. At least so says the "sent" folder of my e-mail account.

Doesn't matter much in this case though. If you haven't received predictions from Deimos either, I should be in the next round anyway.

by **Boye B** on 26 Apr 2005, 05:03

Yeah, we're all going to the next round...

Anyway, I didn't get that mail. Strange. Can you resend?

by **Felix K** on 26 Apr 2005, 05:16

Done.

Yes, strange. One should anticipate that when it says "sent", I should be sure that the mail is delivered. Yet, this is already the second time this season that I sent predictions that did not arrive. Perhaps you could send confirmation messages when you receive e-mail predictions. (At least in case you receive them before Monday - so there would be time enough to resend the predictions in case the original mail is lost).

by **Boye B** on 26 Apr 2005, 05:33

Well, I got it now.

this is already the second time this season that I sent predictions that did not arrive. Perhaps you could send confirmation messages when you receive e-mail predictions.

If you had used the online form, you would receive an automatic confirmation e-mail. ;)

Anyway, I'll send you a confirmation mail next time.

by **....** on 26 Apr 2005, 10:53

I got nothing from Deimos vis a vis the UEFA Cup, so I guess he IS out.

by **Zeus** on 26 Apr 2005, 11:18

Not sure! He still scored more than Zeus... if Zeus loses (very probable!!!!) Deimos very probably passes!

by **Campeones** on 26 Apr 2005, 13:19

All right, Boye boy... it's me and you. Head to head. Mano a mano. Time to meet your doom!

by **Campeones** on 26 Apr 2005, 17:32

Falc and I are in the driver seats after game one. In order to get the draw, Boye needs a five-pointer and so would Marko. I think any other result gets me and Falc the victory for this round.

Which would mean we're all knotted at 3 points headed into the final matchday.... and, almost certainly, we'll have a Northern vs. Southern Europe final.

by **Falc** on 27 Apr 2005, 04:25

Viva il Sud!

What did I predict anyway? (Still don't know how I got here)

by **Boye B** on 27 Apr 2005, 20:01

Yeah, next week's matches are now effectively semifinals, though there is of course a possibility for a draw. That opens up for a number of scenarios:

If I draw with Marko, I will go through on the virtue of having won my 2nd round group (tiebreaker #3).

Falc, will be the beneficiary of a draw in the other match, having scored more prediction points.

However, if both matches end in a draw, Marko and I have a slight advantage, though Falc only needs one point more than us to equalise that.

In the event that all three finish equal on points and prediction points, it will come down to head-to-head, in which case Falc and I will go through.

There's even a possibility for an all-southern final, if all matches end in a draw, and the 'northern' match is very low-scoring, and the 'southern' match is high-scoring.

by **Campeones** on 27 Apr 2005, 20:58

Yeah... let's do that last one!

by **Campeones** on 27 Apr 2005, 21:06

But, realistically, it's gonna come down to either me or you, Falcone. Think WC94 quarterfinals, only this time with a happy ending

No other squad has exhibited the heart and resiliency that my boys have, so I deserve a spot in the final more than anybody. Not that I'm urging you to tank the semifinal match buddy, but if you happen to get lost in the Italian Alps (like the Iceman) and "forget" to submit predictions, I won't mount up a big fuss about it...

Has there ever been a more exciting CLPT than this one? I THINK NOT!

How much is 1st prize?

by **Boye B** on 27 Apr 2005, 21:24

How much is 1st prize?

Why? Wanna know what you're missing? ;)

The prize is the Honour of being Champion. That's priceless. (For everything else, you have Mastercard).

by **Boye B** on 27 Apr 2005, 21:26

Think WC94 quarterfinals, only this time with a happy ending

For the final, think Euro2004 playoffs, only this time with a happy ending

by **Falc** on 28 Apr 2005, 00:02

I guess I did good this week. I have no idea why I am here but hey, might as well ride the wave. Which brings me to my next point Campi, my young friend, I am more likely to drown in the Mediterranean than I am to be frozen in the Alps. I am Southern Italian and damn proud of it too.

by **Eusebio** on 28 Apr 2005, 03:36

Nothing wrong with Alps. Or Mediterannian. We have both :lol:

Scusi, Don Corleone!

by **bineaz** on 28 Apr 2005, 15:34

FORZA Latins!

Falc, I was going to wait until it's all over, but I, the mano dietro, actually interecepted and resubmitted your pics. So that explains how you got here. :P

FORZA

by **Campeones** on 28 Apr 2005, 16:23

but I, the mano dietro

consiglieri, if you will

by **....** on 28 Apr 2005, 19:13

Damn. I was a few prediction points away from winning the UPC group! If only I'd remembered to post predictions on the first day, I'd surely have won the group, even if I'd have lost my match.

That would have given me an easy match against Zeus. Now I must play Felix, who i think has already beaten me this season in the CLPT

No easy matches against Zeus!!! Just ask Deimos and Eugenius!!! They got creamed!

Joined at the hip?

1) 0-1
2) 1-1

Forza match-fixers!!

by **Boye B** on 02 May 2005, 15:07

What? You mean we submitted identical predictions?

The rules state that "the player that last submitted his or her predictions
will be asked to change them." So which one was last? Me or Marko?
