Rules :

-Changes are allowed after the first prediction post, but they MUST be made before play starts, ie before the first ball is struck on that day. Changes to Tournament Winners NOT permitted once first posted.
-If a mistake is made with prediction (eg 55-3 is put instead of 5-3), then I will allow changes. Only the first time a player does it will I accept what I think he meant (I'd assume he meant 5-3 in the above case) but if the user does it more than once, I will only allow a corrected post for the prediction to count.
-In the event of a tie, the player with the higher no. of correct results wins, then correct scores.
- NO changes can be made after R2.


CASE-MASTER IS DEFENDING CHAMPION

OK we're go. Any problems with the article let me know.

I am to open up R1 predictions sometime from maybe Sunday night or Monday morning. For now, use the template in the article. DON'T predict a tournament winner yet, that will go inside the R1 template.

Table updates could be a little uncertain between Monday and Wednesday so bear with me.

Good luck.

Are you sure you want the hassle?

If someone is abusing the rule for the sake of it, then i'll stop them but if someone has a genuine change of heart once or twice in the week, then that's okay.

Paddy still hasn't read the PM I sent him a few days ago. There's plenty more contests to come and I doubt he'll be bothered on this one and the Worlds.





As I've said I forgot about this one and have said I've got no problems with Bourne running this one. I'm happy to run the Crucible one - ideally with someone else as that worked extremely well last year

OK - I don't care what time you put in the template, i'm only worried about the predictions themselves.

Deadline will be right up to the minute the matches start. I can check on the timestamp here when that will be and if it's in time or not.

Please keep posts on topic from now !
