Important Announcement

 

Since we are one week away from the deadline, I took the job of counting every participant's points so far. I have listed users who have problems in their predictions into the following groups...

 

 

Group A - Users that have distributed more than 400 points

 

@vlad @Akin Baddy @Forzazzurri @Otilio @Griff88 @KhanBeaver

 

Group B - Users that have left some bets without any points

 

 @See-ya bet Number 118 (and is also exceeded from 400 points)

 @irmants bets Number 65 and 94 (and also below 400 points)

 

Group C - Users that have placed some bets with more than 10 points

 

@Finnator123 @greenlanddock1982

 

Group D - Users that have distributed less than 400 points

 

@De_Gambassi @justony @kungshamra71 @Dunadan @Mark Chan @vinipereira

 

 

Groups A, B and C must revise and edit their posts to fix their problems. These users are the ones currently risking disqualification.

 

Users in Group D don't have to worry about disqualification, they can still participate as their posts are now. This warning is just courtesy from the Prediction Contest staff since some of them are missing 1 or 2 points to distribute and it would be a pity if they can't compete to the fullest due to a few miscalculations. They of course have the option of leaving their posts as they are now if they wish so. 

 

And to everyone that will participate from now on: please, take the time to read the rules and count your points after you finish filling up the prediction design.

 

Cheers, LDOG

"There are things that are uncertain for us, things more or less probable,

and we seek to compensate for the impossibility of knowing them

by determining their different degrees of likelihood.

So it was that we owe to the weakness of the human mind one of the most delicate

and ingenious of mathematical theories, the science of chance or probability."

Would be interesting to know how you picked the options?

Mens 400 IM: Nagy but no Heidtmann?

Womens 400 IM: No Overholt?

Mens 100 breast: Watanabe?

Mens 200 free: No Haas, but Stjepanovic?

Mens 100 back: No Tarasevich or Rylov but Guido, Christou and Reid?

Womens 100 breast: Huge mistake! Where are Meilutyte, King, Meili and Efimova? 

I think it should be 200 breast ...

Womens 200 free: Is Hosszu even entered in this event?

Mens 200 fly: Kenderesi?

Womens 200 IM: 3 japanese girls and no Andreeva? 

Mens 4x200 free: No Japan?

Womens 200 fly: No Hosszu? Debatable, but not completely wrong.

Mens 100 fly: Verlinden but no Metella, Sadovnikov, Stravius or Deibler?

Womens 800 free: Belmonte?

Mens 50 free: Liukkonen but for example no Wierling?
