But he deliberately got the first game wrong. I don't see any problem.

shouldnt get any points for todays games..

sorry thats how it should be IMO, especially how at that time ecuador was 1-0 up, so he has points for 2-1 (+1 GD) and the same for Germany by putting 3-1!!

its not right

if he gets points, i want mine changed to 3-1 too, and 2-1 for poland

I just noticed that theres no extra points for GD+/-

but it's still not the point, he's predications came after germany winning (2 points) and ecuador were 1-0 up (2 pts)

if he gets to keep 4 points, i want my result of the poland game changed, its only fair surely?

Lighten up Fader, it is a bit of fun/ I'm sure Demmerz was busy or forgot or whatever. He is not trying to cheat anyone. Everyone went for Germay to win (except me :o ops: ) and Ecuador are a decent side. If Dz had put Germany 4 Costa Rica 2 then maybe ask the question but he didn't.

So let him break the rules? you say lighten up, and id expect everyone to say that - but whats the point of playing if someones breaking the rules? its not personal, its just not right, no other sweepstake would allow it

I know very little about football, you can probably tell by my predictions!

I dont even know if you score points for correctly guessing the win/lose result or if you need to get the scores exactly right.

In a message that JaC posted

"If money is paid slightly late thats fine but if predictions are made late then you will not score for games that have taken place or are ongoing when you post."

So, I would think that if Demmerz was due some points for the germany game, because he got the win right but not the score, they are Void.

If another game had started before he posted, that will be void as well.

I think thats fair enough.

What Admin says is fair enough. Rules are rules.

What would you like to change it to? 0-2? Like I guessed? :wink:

Pay your entrance fee mate, then maybe you can have a reason to start moaning.

Right this is how i see it.

Did he post at 7.40pm then? If he did then Germany - Costa Rica doesnt count. If the next game kicked off before he posted then it doesnt count. If he posted before the nest game then that one counts.
