Howdy, y'all. Four things to announce today: Our first result of the year is the scoring scheme: 2pts for the correct prediction +0.5 pts for correct GD +0.5 pts for correct score (which implies you got the GD, too) +1 for correctly calling a blowout, exclusive of GD, though. Thus If you correctly call a GD of 3 or greater, it'll count as getting the GD right, even if you are off (as in you call a 4-1 win, and it turns out to be 5-1). This point also includes a 0.5 pt bonus for calling the unlikely correctly. Possible scores then are 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 (correct score on a blowout). I figure this is a good compromise between the various positions. Feel free to flame away. Second, The following people are getting a stern talking to from the ref for mangling our beautiful format. Don't make me pull out the cards! (not that I have cards in the BigSoccer sense, just WPL realm.) vtravi Baked Alaskan Hool and to show there's no homefield advantage: themrs. Just to recap the format is: home team x : x away team It makes my life easier! Third, only a few folks actually called the draw: 3pts KoRnNutZ1320 nowhere Whirlwind 2.5 pts CityIceMan firefan2003 Matt in the Hatt Please let me know of any errors. It's probably a good idea to double check my calculations for your score, just in case I miss something. Over the course of a season it's pretty well guaranteed to happen sometime. The rest of us poor souls have to get cracking to catch them for the first weekly cup next monday. FOURTH: NEXT WEEK'S GAMES DAL : LAG NYM : CLB DCU : KCW COL : SJE CHI : NER Thanks! g.
Howdy Guinho, Thanks once again for taking up the responsibility of running our league! We all appreciate it. Are you planning on reporting the results in the same format as did your predessor jlo? I hope the answer is yes!
Purdy much. I plan on breaking us into divisions or 20 (although since this is an MLS WPL and we have a mere 45 entrants so far, maybe I'll contract that to divisions of 15.... ) I'll also keep track of the weekly cups, with a final Cup Winners' Cup trophy at the end (for having the highest point total in the most weeks) as well. Any other reporting features you'd like? G.
i could easily be wrong, but isn't the DC game in KC? again, i could easily be wrong, but i thought that's what i remembered and i'm too lazy to go look it up.
You thanked me too soon! The DCU game is in KC So the games are: DAL : LAG NYM : CLB KC : DCU COL : SJE CHI : NER Please feel free to edit any existing predictions. I'm very sorry about that! G.
DAL 2:3 LAG NYM 1:2 CLB KC 1:1 DCU COL 2:0 SJE CHI 1:0 NER So, since we'll be playing at the "Home Depot" center, I thought "Homer" would be a great mascot
DAL 1:2 LAG NYM 0:2 CLB KC 2:2 DCU COL 2:1 SJE CHI 1:3 NER Flashman, this is my first year doing this, so I'm taking your advice and going with my first instinct. Also thanks Guinho.
Rule # 1 - never have your team on the losing side - you might pay in points but you will make up for it with pride. DC UNITED!!!!!!!!! james
