Game Rules Etc.
Submission instructions. Please read.
Short version of submission instructions:
1) Click link to submission form.
2) Enter predictions and click "Submit".
3) Post in forum to confirm submission. ("Submitted", "In!", "You're all going to lose to me!" Anything along those lines will do.)

Long Description:
The person who can closest predict the total weekly attendance added from each of the absolute values from each game, IE the lowest score, will be declared the winner. Predictions must be submitted to a Google Form linked from the thread each week. Guesses larger than 80000 or smaller than 4000 will not allow the form to be submitted. (Some web browsers cause an error to be shown, even when a legal guess is entered. In this case, try submitting the form anyway.) Once submission of the Google Form has occurred, the player must post to the weekly game thread that they have submitted predictions. Have fun and enjoy. Guesses for all of the week’s games are due by game time of the week’s first game.

15 points will be given to the weekly winner, followed by 14 points for second place, continuing to 1 point for 15th place.

All new players are welcome and a player can jump in and out any week. Edwardgr and TopDogg are examples of players who have had strong showings after joining the game later on in the season. Points will tally throughout the season and the player with the most weekly points will be declared the season champion, so the player who plays more often will have an edge. A player may change his/her guesses anytime before the week’s first match. To change your guesses, simply re-submit the Google Form with the changed guesses and post in the weekly thread that you have submitted changes. You do not have to resubmit a guess for every game; you can leave blank the games that you do not want to change.

Only after the player has posted in the forum that they have submitted predictions/changes, will the predictions be marked off as confirmed (seen in the second column of the submitted predictions spreadsheet)

Early submission of predictions is permitted by submitting the relevant form and indicating in the current weekly thread that an early submission for week X has been submitted.

NOTE: Please try to match your username exactly as it appears on BigSoccer. (capitalization, punctuation, accents, the numbers at the end of your username, extra spacebar keystrokes (especially at the end of the username where they are not obvious)) My macros do not handle these common variations, so I have to manually check for each of them. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
