McManusFan, you made 2 predictions. On the first one, you decided to go for a Wilson win, on the second one you opted for a Bingham win. I took into account your second one, just like I did with Vodka for the first round.
Next time, please stick to voting once.
I will not take it into account when you change your mind. <ok>

Terribly sorry, completely forgot I'd already made the prediction!

Then why did you change your mind then?

If anything, you would post the same prediction, not change it.

It it were me running the contest the first one would be the valid one, certainly not the 2nd.

I gave Vodka a pass too, so I did the same for McManusFan. :-)
I've already announced that it must not happen again. I'm sure islanders will be more careful from now on.
Good luck to everyone still chasing the win. <ok>

They were posted on different days, I guess I'd forgotten how Bingham wasn't that great against Williams by the time I did the second prediction!

I'm happy to take the worse score, only seems fair.

Doubt that's possible. He predicted 2 different outcomes. How do you determine the average in that ?! :? :? :?

add together and divide by two.

so in this case it would be

1st prediction
wilson 6 v 4 bingham

2nd prediction
wilson 5 v 6 bingham

yields
wilson 5.5 v 5 bingham

simples!

JB shouldn't I be on 55? 3 first round wins, 2 qf wins and 1 correct score. Or have I messed up somewhere?

This.

I agree with you regarding what you said regarding the predictions and would have done the same, but given JB is being consistent with what he's said and done throughout the contest I can't see any issue.

To be honest as long as you amend your prediction before the deadline I don’t see why it would be an issue.
