Ulysses Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'll do an update on the numbers over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Update 33 members have signed up for the Gold event. This might translate into more competitors because each member can play one or two entries if they wish. But at the moment it looks like the Gold prize fund is heading towards ?200. A total of 97 players have signed up for the Bronze event. There will be a smaller prize for that. Please note that the rules for these competitions will be similar to the rules for the 2006 World Cup Predictor. Gold competitors submit forecasts throughout the competition. Bronze competitors have to "make the cut" twice during the tournament. There will be two cut-off dates, and on each date only players in the top end of the Bronze table will qualify to play in the next phase. Deadlines: To join either competition, you need to post on this thread to say so sometime before 5 pm UK time on Saturday, 7 June. To join the Gold competition, you need to also pay your entry fee before that deadline. I'll let Gold players know the payment arrangements on Monday evening. And I'm really sorry, but I don't have a payment option other than Paypal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Another update 34 members have signed up for the Gold event. This might translate into more competitors because each member can play one or two entries if they wish. But at the moment it looks like the Gold prize fund should be in or about ?200. A total of 103 players have signed up for the Bronze event. There will be a smaller prize for that. Please note that the rules for these competitions will be similar to the rules for the 2006 World Cup Predictor. Gold competitors submit forecasts throughout the competition. Bronze competitors have to "make the cut" twice during the tournament. There will be two cut-off dates, and on each date only players in the top end of the Bronze table will qualify to play in the next phase. Deadlines: To join either competition, you need to post on this thread to say so sometime before 5 pm UK time on Saturday, 7 June.

Sorry but I'm not familiar with previous formats of predictor competition's on here. I'll be posting the rules in a little while, but the short answer is that you can do what you like once you get your prediction for any given game in before the start time for the game. You can also post "blind" predictions for the knockout phase (e.g. Winner A to beat runner up B by 2-1), but remember that these have to be for the scoreline at 90 minutes.

Ulysses Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 JKB Euro 2008 Predictor Gold Competition Rules Because there's money involved, competitors are asked to read these carefully. Entry: The competition is open to all JKB members in good standing. Competitors can submit a maximum of 2 entries. Each entry to the competition costs ?6. Entry fee payment methods will be as stated on this thread. An entry to the competition will only be deemed valid on receipt of the appropriate entry fee. Entry Deadline: No entry will be accepted after 5 pm UK time on June 7. It is the responsibility of competitors to ensure that their entry fees arrive in time for that deadline. To enter, competitors need only to submit their entry fees. Competitors are not obliged to submit predictions before the entry deadline ? refer to the rule titled Prediction deadlines below. Predictions: The competition requires competitors to predict the scoreline of all games played in the tournament. Competitors may submit predictions at any time (i)by posting on this thread (or any other designated competition thread); (ii) by sending predictions by Private Message or via the JKB email facility to Ulysses or to other designated members (known as the Predictor massive), (iii) by email to [email protected] (or any other designated competition email address). Prediction deadlines: For convenience and ease of reference, Ulysses will post messages at intervals during the Euro 2008 tournament calling for predictions for groups of games. However, competitors may submit predictions at any time. Predictions for a game received after the official start time for the game will not be accepted. It is the sole responsibility of competitors to ensure that their predictions are posted in time. Neither Ulysses nor JKB Administration will accept responsibility for the late posting of any forecast because of error or failure in JKB or the email system. "Blind" predictions: Competitors may submit "blind" predictions on the results of games in the knockout stages (e.g. predicting the result of Winner A v 2nd . Once the teams playing in the tie are known, the "blind" predictions will be converted into valid actual predictions. Competitors with multiple entries: Competitors are permitted to use any names for multiple entries, provided that such names do not clash with other competitors' names and are permitted by JKB Administration. These names must be chosen before 5 pm UK time on 7 June. Where competitors do not choose names for multiple entries, these will be automatically assigned, e.g. Ulysses1, Ulysses2, etc. Competitors must ensure that their predictions are clearly associated with a particular entry when submitted. Any prediction that is not clearly associated with a named entry will not be accepted. Scoring: If a competitor predicts the overall result of a game correctly (e.g. Germany and Poland to draw), they will score 1 point. If a competitor predicts the exact scoreline correctly (e.g. Germany 0-0 Poland), they will score 3 points. The winner will be the competitor who scores the highest number of points. Knockout games: Competitors are required to predict the result of knockout stage games at the end of normal time (i.e. excluding extra time and penalties). Tie-break: If two or more competitors are tied in a prize-winning position on the same number of points, a tie-break will be used to decide the winner. The rules for the tie-break will be posted before the competition starts. Exclusion from the competition: Any member who enters the competition and who is subsequently banned from JKB will be excluded from the competition. Any member who is suspended from posting on the board may continue to participate in the competition while suspended, unless JKB Administration decides otherwise. Any competitor excluded from the competition under this rule will not be entitled to a refund of their entry fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
