Congratulations to bigm10 and acsc1312! These two players had the two highest scores this weekend, and as a result, they will choose their teams! Because ascs had the highest score, he will go first in selecting teammates and a team name. This will be done via PM. As for the rest of you, I have sent you the private message for the next weekend contest. Do not delete these messages, as we can use these for the rest of the season, and be sure to predict this weekend. bigm10 and acsc, I will send you a special PM tonight.

My policy with no-shows (There were four this week. Boo.) is that if you don't predict three times, you are automatically eliminated. No pleas, no bargaining, just bye-byes.

Remember, the deadline for the next game is Friday at 10PM ET!

One last thing: If I see that you edited your predictions after the deadline, you will recieve a score of zero for the weekend! No cheating! Fortunately, no one did it this week, so I may not have to worry about that.

[Empire]

Sorry, for missing last week. I didn't notice it had started yet. I will participate from here on out.

[Punishment]

Yikes - 50%

Good week for a mulligan

[acsc1312]

Can't wait for teams to be revealed. My team is gonna crush it. Everyone better predict each week!

[chasmmi]

I've decided that I hate this game now because instead of before when i could just check out a Friday update thread if I felt a bit bored and had the time, now I'm hitting refresh every 5 seconds desperate for updates like their my university exam results or something.  

 

[Ezen Baklattan]

Well, nothing's going to be exciting here until Monday afternoon, so I wouldn't worry about checking back here too much this weekend.

[chasmmi]

oh its all the checking of estimates against my guesses, then checking the better estimates against my guesses, then the actuals then rinse and repeat Saturday and Sunday and then spend three days vaguely wondering whether my guesses seemed close or not to the results.

 

Only after I've put myself through all that will I get round to sweating over how things may actually turn out in relation to other people here.

[ChD]

Ok... so i just checked the first estimates.

 

[acsc1312]

I'm pretty confident with my predictions. Went low on H&G compared tvpthers and about what's estimated for Parker and 43

[bigm10]

Movie 43 did me in, everything else should have been fine.

Movie 43 did me in, everything else should have been fine.

Same thing

Results would have been posted sooner, but I had a power outage in my area. I'll get to work on them soon.
