    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.

    Links to all submission forms, submitted predictions, weekly results, and season standings can be found at http://z.umn.edu/prediction

    They are there... scroll all the way to the right.

    (Weeks 31 and 32 were originally set to be scored as one "week" due to Week 31 originally only having 2 games scheduled. Rescheduling added two more games to Week 31, so each week was given its own scoring. @firefan2001 had previously submitted his guess for Week 31/32 back in May, so I will not delete the Week 32 games from the Week 31 submissions sheet.)

    I'm calling bullshit on all the totals for this week's games with the exception of the Atlanta game, NYRB are claiming over 25K and for anybody that watched that match you know that's horseshit.

    UP YOURS EVERYBODY EXCEPT ATLANTA! :mad:
