World Championship Prediction Contest - Discussion!

im not sure about R2 up now, because the betting odds fluctuate, and round 1 hasn't finished yet

Okay, as for predictions: Do people want me to put it up now? The problem at the moment is the Dott, Ebdon game and the fact that Maguire Lee doesn't finish until tomorrow. Basically, we might have the messy situation of four different options for this second round match. As for betting odds, it's predictable enough who will be favourite for each pairing, so I don't think that would be a problem...

To be honest, I'd prefer to leave it until after Dott-Ebdon, but considering how late that could go on till (who knows with the two of them), that too could be a problem.

i say no, because like you said... mags v lee hasnt finshed and murphy v greene has just started.

or you could put up thursdays 2nd round and then the rest when we know the line up

Its going to be obvious who the favourites will be in each match.

With regards to the template going up now, I won't be posting until the matches are confirmed but it gives that extra bit of time for those that won't have a chance before tomorrow

fair point well made

We really need to make sure everyone has a chance to predict on every match, so for me, i'd get any template up as soon as possible to incorporate matches that are happening in the next couple of days.

If say Ebdon and Dott do not finish until late, some people can't access Internet from work so they would miss out.

I know its going to be a bit messy for you tubber, but hopefully only those that have to are the ones that post for now

Defo ASAP if you have the time Tubbs. Otherwise some people may miss the deadline due to work commitments

ok get the table up, but alow posters to post the predictions on the obvious draw and then alowthem to add the 2 predictions when the 2 outstanding matches have been won

i agree with case get it up now and give maximum time for everyone to get a chance to predict.

or just do

higgins v s davis
allen v m davis

then after tomorow night predict the other 6 matches, simples no erasing needed

How about you all just let tubberlad do it how it's meant to be done and stop worrying? The next template will be up as soon as the Dott match ends and it will be open until 2pm tomorrow.

ok

Sonny wrote:It's exactly the same as last year folks. This template goes up after close of play today or rather after the Dott v Ebdon ends

who is staying up until gone 2am to put it up ?

i cant understand why the rest of the R2 matches arent on the template?

rocket_ron wrote:i cant understand why the rest of the R2 matches arent on the template?

come on lets have some sort of order here




EDIT The reason this is done is to give competitors the longest time to make predictions. Since the second round is basically done in two halves. I.e. four games will be done over tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday, whilst the others will be done over sat, sun, Mon. PL
