Prediction League 2009/10

[Derrick Lee's #1 Fan]

It's getting to the time of year again when we start casting around to see if anybody can spare the time to run the prediction league.

SuperBru have recently launched a UK sister site called SportGuru, which will be running prediction leagues for the ML, HC, Autumn Tests and 6N this season. I'm wondering if we could avoid taking up anybody's time in particular by setting up our own private league on there. I'm playing in a few leagues on SuperBru at the moment and it seems a pretty slick site - you just make your predictions and after each game the game engine processes the result and automatically calculates everybody's scores. Once everything is set up, nobody has to do any extra work!

What does everyone think?

Looks good to me (and not because I don't want to do it again this year !!). It looks very professional.

According to Sportguru The Blues and Edinburgh Rugby are playing at Wembley Stadium on friday - Will this influence your pick? Think we will just shade it down in Cardiff, they been even more off than us so far.
This year I'll do my picks with my head not my heart.

DL#1F,
Can you include muzwat in this. I normally use a different username when on prediction leagues etc. Actually have been trying to change my username here but am very unpc orientated.

Thanks

Er, sorry, could you run that by me again?

[Oldsalt]

Was very disappointed in the performance of Ulster. Hey ho can only bode well for the HC, ceratainly didn't see anything that would cause us trouble. If you feel otherwise please feel free to illuminate.

[K-Pac]

Hi All,

been a while since been on this site, can someone tell me what the code is for the league on the Sportguru site, cheerz

The pool code is liaroral.

[Derrick Lee's #1 Fan]

Possibly a bit short notice, but we're still waiting for predictions from cageybee, Dunc and current leader The Gunner.

21 Lima 9.50
22 djphilp 9.00

Danish Cookie takes the yellow cap and a two-point lead at the top after outscoring the next best player (on looker) by 2.5 pts. At the other end of the spectrum, Dunc got a default pick on the Connacht-Cardiff game, getting a solitary point thanks to Connacht's shock win. He has now used up all his default picks - you only get a maximum of six and he used up the other five last week.

Another yellow cap for The Gunner who moves back into the lead, taking advantage of a poor round from last week's top performer Danish Cookie, who drops to third. Dazzla, Dunc and cageybee occupy the bottom three positions after failing to make any picks.

Thats the only thing keeping me from the bottom of the table, well that and dj.

[djphilp]

Yeah I seem to be really bad at this this year so thanks to the three who forgot to make their picks for saving me from being bottom
