Results - Games 11 - 12 Jun 2010 World Cup Prediction League 2010

Welcome to the first table update of the World Cup 2010 Prediction League!

A massive start for current EPL 2009/2010 Prediction League champion, ihawk98, for grabbing pole at 13 points. We have a newbie right at top, just behind at 11 points. Well done, jamesdubya!

Also, congrats to ihawk98, delay, jamesdubya, everton and hotdog for opening account in the Marksmen Board.

The Perfect-10 Hall Of Fame will not be featured here as the number of matches to predict per round is not consistent throughout the tournament and as such will not be fair to those who have to get 6 matches right versus those who need to get fewer matches correct in the later rounds..

Still, it is only Round 1 and we have many more games to predict. I am sure those at the bottom, like me :( , will be climbing steadily as we start to find our footing; while those at the top will have to worry about their beginner's luck and/or honeymoon sustainability.

It will be a tight tournament and promises to have a lot of fun.

On to the next round of predictions then!

p.s. It's still early in the tournament. Get more friends to join us!


IMPORTANT : Please identify yourself when you submit a comment/entry i.e. No Anonymous posting, please. I am having trouble figuring out who has just made his/her amendments.

Look, we have 16 of us submitting 6 predictions per round. That's 96 lines I have to go through just because someone decides to make a change.

Don't get me wrong here. Making changes is perfectly fine. Make as many as you feel comfortable. However, identifying yourselves when you post, makes it easier for me to know who needs what to be change. Thanks in advance!
