I was cheated!!!!

When is the Uefa thingy? and how many people registered? If I'm the only one do I win?

by **Felix K** on 28 Jan 2006, 11:43

Mid-February. And yes, would be nice to know how many people registered. But you're not the only participant anyway. if Boye joins the tournament as expected, then there are at least three of us.

by **Zeus** on 28 Jan 2006, 12:12

Bah, still bronze...

by **Buzzz** on 28 Jan 2006, 12:43

I registered for the UEFA tourney.

by **Boye B** on 30 Jan 2006, 16:19

Sorry for not keeping the website updated. Will update it tomorrow with fixtures etc.

As for the UPC, there are seven people who have registered, so I'm not sure about what format to use. There are nine available matchdays. Suggestions?

In order to get to even numbers, there's an opening for one more participant, on a first come first served basis.

So far Marko, Felix, Zeus, Buzzz, Eugenius, Eugene Berkovich and myself are in.

what happened to Norway yesterday ? Ya got skull-fucked 5-0 ?

To busy enjoying the Southern California sunshine rather than working, eh ? 8)

by **Boye B** on 30 Jan 2006, 16:27

Well, who wouldn't enjoy every minute of sunshine if you were on a rare break from the freezing cold, snowy, dark Arctic?

by **Felix K** on 30 Jan 2006, 18:01

Boye,

About the UPC format, I have two suggestions, but I don't know which one to prefer. It's up to you I guess:

A group stage (7 matchdays) followed by one-legged Semifinals and Final would certainly make a good format.

And an alternative would be 2 groups of 4 (double round robin, 6 matches) and a two-legged semifinal. Perhaps less fair than the single group, but on the other hand, I like the idea of a two-legged semifinal to take place during the UEFA Cup semifinals.

by **Boye B** on 04 Feb 2006, 13:55

Well, I like both formats, but with seven players there would have to be one group of four and one group of three. So a single group of seven would be more fair.

by **Felix K** on 04 Feb 2006, 17:19

Yeah, I already pointed to the fairness aspect. As I said, it's up to you to decide - especially since it doesn't seem as if anyone besides the two of us really cares about the format, and I am indifferent.

by **Zeus** on 05 Feb 2006, 04:35

Well who said I don't care? How about a 1 person group (Zeus, so he has a chance to advance...) and a 6 person group?

Otherwise I'm for one huge group. Do we share the TV money or does everybody have to make his own contract?

by **Felix K** on 05 Feb 2006, 05:22

I know nothing about TV money. Seems to me that the organizer secretly takes it all, without sharing it with us poor, suppressed participants ... :cry:

by **Buzzz** on 05 Feb 2006, 05:44

LOL@Felix

by **Boye B** on 05 Feb 2006, 06:53

I keep the TV money, you keep the gate receipts.

by **Zeus** on 05 Feb 2006, 09:08

Well, nobody wants to come and see my homegames anyway.... I want the TV money!!!!!!!!

by **Buzzz** on 05 Feb 2006, 11:15

dare I ask what do I get?

by **Zeus** on 05 Feb 2006, 14:04

You get Palo

by **Pabs** on 05 Feb 2006, 15:26

Zeus, you can be in a group with your alter-ego's...

Where's Boye? UPC starting on Monday... time to set up format and fixtures!

Wow! I see EVERYBODY has submitted predictions for the UPC! Unusual for the first matchday of the league stage...

by **Felix K** on 15 Feb 2006, 09:41

Eugene

care to explain your prediction for the Artmedia Bratislava vs Levski Sofia match?

by **Eugene Berkovich** on 15 Feb 2006, 09:42

In every round I will provide a totally off the wall prediction or two. I do believe the outcome to be right. Not the score. Obviously.

by **Eugene Berkovich** on 15 Feb 2006, 15:00

Shouldn't there be a prize for NOT guessing a single outcome right? I have a reasonable chance at accomplishing that unbelievable feat!

by **Felix K** on 15 Feb 2006, 15:05

How about the UPC's "Golden Rapsberry award"?

by **Eugene Berkovich** on 15 Feb 2006, 15:06

I guess, I'll have to settle for it!

by **Pabs** on 15 Feb 2006, 15:06

eusebitch.

by **Felix K** on 18 Feb 2006, 18:51

Boye,

I did do well on this UPC matchday, but not quite as well as you say!

Please check the scores of the UPC again. Buzz and I both predicted an away win in match 10, I get 3 points, she gets none. That can't be correct. Also check the points awared for match 9, they seem to be incorrect too.

(No need to cheat in my favor when I can win fair and square; and no use in awarding yourself an extra point when it doesn't help you win anyway - or is this supposed to be a consolation for Rosenborg's defeat? :wink:

)

by **Boye B** on 19 Feb 2006, 07:02

Sigh, so my score is less than 1 point per prediction for this matchday. My predicting form is even worse than Norway's Olympic form!

by **Felix K** on 19 Feb 2006, 16:00

To add to your woes, you have yet to correct the prediction points from the Rosenborg match for Buzz and me... Buzz deserves 3 points more, despite her lack of faith in Rosenborg, and I have been awarded one point too many...

Sorry for having to remind you of Rosenborg's result ...

by **Felix K** on 20 Feb 2006, 10:16

And while we're at it...

The CLPT season resumes today!

Just a reminder that there's less than six hours left to submit predictions for CLPT and UPC.
