    I'm currently unranked. Are this week's scores in yet?

    Is there any chance we could find out what browser the user is using when they got the error? Or a screenshot would be perfect…

    So are you saying that if I select the Fulham v. Tottenham match correctly (0-2), I will have 10 points. But what if I select the match as a 0-9 victory for Tottenham? How many points will I have? Will I have 3?

    Huss started a week earlier than everyone so I should probably be the leader. [​IMG]

    Thanks everyone for the feedback - you've hit on some great points. We've got a list of updates we'd like to roll out and those will be happening in the next few weeks. Key points seem to be:

    -time limits to enter predictions
    -ability to see historical predictions
    -better explanation of how the points work
    -adding more leagues in

    I know a few of you have seem some errors too. Hopefully most of those are straightened out. If not, let us know. Please keep the feedback going, the more the better. You not notice any big changes for about 10 days as things get quiet around the holidays.

    Thanks!

    After the matches today, I don't think the "Best Predictors" have been updated.

    Am I missing something?

    I don't see a way to review your picks vs the actual scores.

    Well, I said that at that time since I am still in the same spot with the same average (I don't remember my previous "PR" or overall score)...and I think it hasn't change (ya know, egg nog and all). :)

    Ok. I sent that along. Unfortunately, due to the holidays, we're probably not going to get an answer immediately. Thanks again.

    A suggestion: the standings should be more than 5 people per page. As you get more entrants, it will make it easier to browse the standings.

    Agree. I'd also like the "Points" and "Average" to be clickable so I can see ranks based on points or based on average.

    Am I correct in assuming it is not done this way because once functioning for a full season, everyone will start together and ranks based on total points and average will be the same?

    Also, when can we add logos, etc.

    We're working on the logos and on the 5 per page, we're looking at what we can do there, including easier ways to scroll through pages. We can talk about more than 5 though. On your "points" and "average" question - I'll have to ask and get back to you. Due to the holidays, this will likely be about a week before I can find out. Sorry about that.

    Two other suggestions (yeah, at nearly 11pm, 25 hours before the New Year celebration).

    1 - Would you be able to make an indication if our ranking was up, down, or held steady (like and arrow of some sort)?

    2 - How about a history of points per week. Come to think about it, how about my individual results (or anybody's results for that matter) available week to week - perhaps a Tuesday through Monday thing.

    1. we already have on our list
    2. i think we're already doing this as well, thought i'm not quite sure exactly how you think your suggestion would work.

    Well, this could go two ways...
    A) Have the player's name be clickable taking the person to a stats page. From there, have an option to see the history of picks - drop down would probably be easiest - for a selected week.
    B) Have the option to select a week - again probably a drop down would be easiest - on the main prediction page. From there, we would see the rankings of all players from a particular week. Click on that players and it takes us to the stats for that particular week (picks, points, etc).

    What I am talking about, mainly with "B" is similar to how the offical ELP fantasy league website works (though they have tons of more information as well).

    OK - I'll put it on the list. It would expand things a lot to have individualized player pages so we'll have to talk about if we can do that.

    How do I provide " at least one new prediction " ? My predictions are not being saved.

    Once again, I could put scores, but it looked like the SUBMIT button wasn't activated! Also when I did a copy (as above) my predicted scores weren't there.

    Nice betting add on.
    I've never bet on soccer before.

    The Liverpool v. Everton line reads like this?
    Home ---- Draw ---- Away
    1.85 ----- 3.40 ---- 4.50

    How does this work?

    That if I pick Liverpool,
    If Liverpool win, for each dollar (pound) I bet I win 1.85
    If they draw, I get zip
    If Everton win, I get zip.

    That if I pick a draw,
    If Liverpool win, I get zip
    If they draw, for each dollar (pound) I bet I win 3.40
    If Everton win, I get zip.

    That if I pick Everton,
    If Liverpool win, I get zip
    If they draw, I get zip
    If Everton win, for each dollar (pound) I bet I win 4.50

    Is this correct.
