I was eliminated, right?

by **Felix K** on 05 Apr 2006, 06:28

Falc,

Boye has updated the site as of after the CLPT 2nd round.

And yes, you were eliminated... fortunately, Boye's miscalculations did not affect the group rankings.

by **Falc** on 05 Apr 2006, 08:41

Boye is just trying to get back at me for winning the damn thing last season! :roll:

by **Buzzz** on 05 Apr 2006, 09:06

hehehehehe Tell you what Falc, I will buy you a beer and send it via FedEx. :lol:

by **bineaz** on 05 Apr 2006, 10:27

Is Falc on his way to winning another title?

His being eliminated in the CLPT and not participating in the UPC didn't exactly help that cause.

I was eliminated, right?

Buzzz, I'm still in it with a measly point. I guess I shouldn't have eliminated the likes of Felix and Zeus, because now they won't help me.
:wink:

by **Buzzz** on 05 Apr 2006, 10:37

I am going to live vicariously through you bud! Win it for me and I will buy you a whole case of beer! of course I may have to drink it for ya too! hehehehe

by **Eugene Berkovich** on 05 Apr 2006, 10:44

Actually, the miscalculations do matter in the calculating the yearly rankings

by **Felix K** on 05 Apr 2006, 10:53

True, but not in Falc's case. He won't end up anywhere close to the top three.

by **Falc** on 05 Apr 2006, 11:49

Just shoot me while I am down Felix. My corpse is not even cold yet.

by **lillie** on 05 Apr 2006, 11:55

Oh chins up, sometimes losing is the better deal in the long run. Trust me I know about that.

by **Felix K** on 05 Apr 2006, 11:58

Falc,

No need to be sad. Chances are that you will be resurrected in time for next season! :wink:

by **Falc** on 05 Apr 2006, 12:05

To be honest, I have no idea how I won last year. Heck, I have no idea how I made it this far. I don't study the teams, don't follow anyone outside of Serie A. So I was lucky to get as far as I did. Still do not like the fact that matchday 3 was only worth half the points. Cuts your chances of a comeback. Think if Juve only had 45 minutes today to overturn their 0-2 aggregate against Arsenal. It is a farce I tell you.

by **Felix K** on 05 Apr 2006, 12:27

Falc,

myself, I'm not following any competition closely, neither CL nor UEFA nor even Bundesliga. And I never give more than a few seconds thought on a prediction - and the same, I guess, is true for a great many CLPT competitors.

by **bineaz** on 11 Apr 2006, 12:45

Mark,

Do I send next weeks pics to you or to Felix?

by **....** on 11 Apr 2006, 13:53

Bineaz,

As you're playing Boye in the CLPT, you should probably send them to me, though either way is fine.

by **bineaz** on 11 Apr 2006, 15:03

OK. I'll just send them to Felix. actually I'll just post them here shortly after the deadline.

How did you do. I have no clue as I'm against Eugenius. I know I sucked in my pics.

by **bineaz** on 17 Apr 2006, 11:33

Mark,

I'll post my pics here in a few hours.

by **bineaz** on 17 Apr 2006, 15:02

Mark,

Deadline's here:

1 = AC Milan - Barcelona: 0-0

2 = Villarreal - Arsenal: 1-1

by **....** on 17 Apr 2006, 15:14

Thanks, Bineaz. I already e-mailed mine to Boye a few days ago, who appears to have returned from his little jaunt abroad.

I'll post them here so whoever is playing against me can compare their picks with the actual results:

CLPT

AC Milan 0-0 Barcelona
Arsenal 2-1 Villarreal

UEFA Cup

Schalke 2-1 Sevilla
Steaua Bucharest 1-0 Middlesbrough

Forza Barcelona

by **bineaz** on 18 Apr 2006, 16:55

Crap--Milan lose--BASTARDI--which means Boye and I each get only a point. Doesn't look got for the final.

by **bineaz** on 18 Apr 2006, 16:55

Silver lining: Milan lose. ;)

by **Boye B** on 18 Apr 2006, 18:24

Bineaz, I think that was a bad result for the both of us. Now we both need a win next week.

by **Boye B** on 18 Apr 2006, 18:25

UPC

I have only received predictions from Felix and Marko for this week's UPC, so I have extended the deadline until 2100 CET today (Wednesday).

by **bineaz** on 18 Apr 2006, 18:26

Yes. It was. It ain't over til the fat lady viking sings. ;)

by **Boye B** on 18 Apr 2006, 18:51

BTW, Zeus, the week before Easter I represented the Young Liberals of Norway at the Congress of the European Liberal Youth in Winterthur, just outside Zurich. While I was there, I was given a very detailed introduction into Swiss political life, and I must say it's amazing how the Swiss combination of consensus and popular vote institutionalises conservatism and to a certain degree a tyrrany of the majority/special interests. I've always been sceptical of referenda, but after almost one week in Switzerland I'm more sceptical than ever. The hosts at Jungfreisinnige Schweiz were great of course, but I had to tell them I could not share their enthusiasm for referenda on such things as shop opening hours and on the public purchase of a painting worth CHF300,000. And, judging from the turn-outs they quoted, neither could the Swiss voters.

by **Felix K** on 23 Apr 2006, 16:00

Hi Boye,

just read about that rule violation in the UPC (about you not asking Eugenius to change his prediction).

Here's a proposal to avoid such incidents in the future: You could modify the prediction form to allow not one, but two predictions per game. Normally, the first predictions would be used, but in case both players submit identical predictions, the second set of predictions would be used for the player who had submitted his predictions later.

by **Pabs** on 23 Apr 2006, 16:44

hahaha, palo pulled that stunt about 3 years ago prompting his protest of the competition.

by **Eugene Berkovich** on 24 Apr 2006, 14:11

I thought I had submitted my "April 27th" UEFA Prediction Cup "predictings"? Oh well...

by **bineaz** on 24 Apr 2006, 14:46

marko,

R U ready to post your pics (before I forget mine, which will miraculously gain me the 10 points I need to make the final.

by **Boye B** on 25 Apr 2006, 03:16

Felix,

Thanks for the tip. I've already implemented that idea in the prediction form for the CL and UC finals.

It's probably only necessary in the latter stages of the tournament when there are few matches on each matchday.

Eugene,

I haven't received UPC predictions from you yet, but if you're quick I'll allow them.

by **Buzzz** on 25 Apr 2006, 08:23

Eugene is still in this thing but not Falc?! Well wonders never cease. hehehehe

Well, I have submitted them again but I am pretty certain I did it about a week or more ago.

I have not heard anything from Eugenius re: his own predictings.

by **bineaz** on 25 Apr 2006, 15:03

BOO BOO

OK where's palo. There's no way I can advance to the final. Boye what time did you submit your pics because they make it impossible to advance and marko's too? Aah never mind, it's a conspiracy to make sure no Italians win again. :shock:

OK so my record has sucked but at least I want a chance. Aah never mind.

FORZA CLPT :!:

by **....** on 25 Apr 2006, 15:22

Sorry about that, Bineaz. I would have posted them here sooner but only read this thread today.

I actually sent Boye my picks by e-mail on Saturday afternoon, so I didn't make them deliberately so that you couldn't win. Boye sent me his late last night.
