Proposal:
We have 12 matchdays to go and not many people have participated this week.
So, I think, from each player the 10 best results should only be counted, so you could still win, if you are on vacation or don't have time one week or want to join now...

[socralynnek]

So, I decided, your 10 best prediction do count.
Maybe we'll have a Toto even for some week in the CDZ cup, we'll see...

So, if you still want to enter, you can even win the (still undecided) prize!

[Mistfit]

What is toto (besides Dorothy's dog)?

[Dell19]

It seems to be a bit strange to discard rounds? Isn't the whole point to include the bad and the good rounds?

[akots]

Good are good, why exclude them. Bad are bad and better be excluded. Says me with 2 points after 2 rounds. :)

At least I got 2 games right out of 10. Might be considered as good however.

[Melifluous]

Can I get a W00t?

I am the leader, damn straight I'm playing every round from now on [:P]

Actually you may not have believed my earlier post but I do not know what TOTO is. Could someone please enlighten me?

[akots]

Well, you have to guess the results of the matches. Whoever makes more right guesses, wins. Last season, Kingreno was the host to select matches (CDZ teams only), now socralynnek.

[Mistfit]

thanks akots -

[akots]

Oh, just realized, you mean in general? It is Lotto apparently in German/Dutch. Sport-toto I know is German thing. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[socralynnek]

No, Lotto is Lotto and Toto is Toto.
Toto is (as you have said) where you predict a chosen number of matches but not the exact outcome but 1 for home win, 2 for a win of the away team and 3 (0 in Germany) for a draw.
So the difference is, for Lotto you have to have pure luck and for Toto you should have knowledge (although sometimes the ones who chose randomly are better off...)

The reason why I say, your best 10 weeks do count, is for one, that more players can join now and that some still play after they have missed a round or two because of vacations or other things.
In a few minutes, the new matches will be chosen.
And Mistfit, you can join us in our round !

[Mistfit]

Cool I'm all over it! I'll pick the wins like my wife picks American football games:
Either ~
Who has the nicest looking uniforms
Or who's Mascot could beat up another (ie. The Bears Have to win against the Eagles)
Or who has the best looking player on the team (I think I'll leave this one out though)

EDIT:
That is of course if everyone else that is currently playing is OK with me joning

[Melifluous]

Dude.

The more the merrier, there are no barriers to entry here...

[socralynnek]

It's open for anyone in this forum, or outside, so feel welcome (if more people participate, it makes more fun for me to do the work...)

BTW, new chosen matches are posted.

[Mistfit]

Couple of questions:

1.) where is the CPF Forum? Could you provide a link?
2.) to whom and where do we turn in our predictions?

[socralynnek]

1.) In Hattrick, click on Conferences in the left and you come to the forum, there is also a forum for the members of the Civ Players Federation
For me it is: http://www19.hattrick.org/common/defaultconf.asp?type=5&subtype=22172
Or you can click on Federations, Civ Players Federation, Federation conference(or so in English) is a link on the right side.

2) Me. Either via HT-Mail, in the thread where I posted the matches here, or in the thread in the CPF forum where I posted the matches.

[Dell19]

I hate the team I am playing. In the last 8-10 weeks they have logged in once and have thus avoided going inactive even though they clearly are inactive. I will enjoy winning against them next season if we both stay up.

[arne1]

Why did Yndy only get four points is round 3 of the toto? Is it a simple mistake? Or am I not getting the rule about the 3 bonus points correctly?

[socralynnek]

You are absolutely right, arne, it was a mistake...
Sorry, yndy...

[yndy]

Well then, I presume I will not be forced to keep my end of the bargain in the CDZ Cup scoring either ;)

[socralynnek]

OK, yndy, my defense let's you score one goal, but not more...

[Dell19]

quote:Match 1:
Russell FK - Wartham United[matchid=44380562]
Sunday 18 CEST

Both are still struggling for safety.

Not really. Both of us could lose our last two games and we would still have a playoff which we could MOTS at home so in general it shouldn't be a problem.

[socralynnek]

You never know who you play against in a playoff...
Or your best player could be sent off at the beginning...
For me, safety means a place without playoff.
And, on the other hand, I wanted to create tension and thrill ;)

[Kemal]

Hmm, your own forum moderator just spammed the toto score sheet...

Anyway, to socra's remarks in that thread:

"
Actually I did look at them! It seemed the best prediction for this week, that was all to it really. Nice to have some points for a change, as my toto skills have been below par this season so far.
"

[socralynnek]

OK, well done then!!!
Although I do the research in which game to chose, my predictions are very bad this season...
So, I deserve to lose my logo...

[Dell19]

I would have to win 5-0 to grab 5th place unless Russell FK mess up so its not likely.

[socralynnek]

Hmmm, I think Russell are going to lose against Dazzlers, so with a win you would surely be 5th.
But you know your league better than I do....

[Dell19]

You could be right but Russell FK should dominate the midfield and finished third last season so I still expect them to edge it.

[Dell19]

Accidentally missed out on predicting this week because in my league I have another day before I would have to submit predictions. Oh well. :)

[Kemal]

You could do as KR and me have done, just skip the matches that have been played already.
