French Open Prediction League! (Fifth in Series) First of the Grandslam editions!

[jamesblakefan#1]

Monfils in 4 (34-39) or (34-38)
DelPotro in 3 (29-34) or (30-34)

Not trying to be different, just unsure is it gonna be +/-2 or +/-3?

The way I understood the games predictions is that you get points for the correct range no matter the winner. You picked the wrong winner in the Davy match, but the correct amount of games it would last. If my understanding of how we're scoring the games prediction is incorrect, I'll recalculate the scores and post accordingly.

well I mean you don't have to

wouldnt you preffer the plus minus system?
selecting a number of games, 40, with a range of two or three games for margin of error

40 +- 3
so you win at 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43...

or 40 +-2

wich is five games 38, 39, 40, 41, 42

i'm quoting this to remind myself when discussions begin again after RG and before the next one tournament.

i'm quoting this to remind myself to check whether this interpretation could end up in a person who picked the correct winner but also picked the sets and number of games incorrectly (A) ending up with less points than a person (B) who picked the correct number of games while picking the incorrect winner. :???:

You got 4 didn't you? Of course it depends on your rule on whether the range counts no matter who wins.

 

[seffina]

The worst vice is advice.

Vanity, definitely my favorite sin.

Mizuno, obviously your score is 308, not 208. I'll fix that tomorrow.

 

[Chelsea_Kiwi]

I seem to fall apart in these later rounds

 

[icedevil0289]

I seem to fall apart in these later rounds

you're still leading though.

 

[Chelsea_Kiwi]

I will make an early pick. I will most likely change it however.

Federer in 4 (36-41)

Yeah, thats what i was refering to, 2 for that particular match, when really Gonzo should've held on and won in 5 .. giving me 7... *punches screen* annoys the bejesus outta me.

Kind've unlucky in the Federer match as well, almost landed the games tally. Should be nip and tuck between us both with this last match...

 

[shadows]

^ did either of you go for Fed to win btw? or even for Fed not to make the final?

Those early predictions could way things

Both of us went for a Federer runner up spot.

I bet you were like when Gonzo was up 4-1 in the fifth, then :shock: when he was broken back, and :evil:when he lost.

haha yeah. As for me I was pissed of when Gonzo pushed it to the 5th. Had soderling closed in 4 I would have gotten 7 points. Damn!
