Re: Round 1 Matches: 2009 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Prediction League Okay, here are my picks: Reading Rage 0 Harrisburg 2 Emigrants De Ihlas 1 Western Mass. 0 Crystal Palace Baltimore 3 Ocean City 2 Agean Hawks 2 Real Maryland 2 Richmond 3 Carolina 1 Charlotte 1 Wilmington 1 Atlanta 0 Charlestown 2 Lynch's FC 4 Miami FC 0 St. Louis 3 Cleveland 2 Pittsburgh 0 Rochester 0 402 3 Minnesota 1 Milwaukee 2 Chicago Fire PDL 2 Arizona 2 El Paso 0 Mississippi 2 Austin 1 Portland 1 Kitsap 1 Somona County 1 Orange County 2 There ya go!
Just as revolutionaryguy did but also Select a shootout winner in the games you have as a draw for additional points. and pick two GW games for bonus points (penalty if wrong) and pick a team as your high scoring team for bonus points. Put GW next to the two games you want considered and just add the name of the team you think will be the high scorer at the end.
