Oops nevermind, I thought you had Del Potro as the finalist, but you have Davy. Still 13 points, you can definitely make that up!

I think I was the only person to pick Del Potro as the runner-up xD so I guess I'll stick with my initial guess.

Nadal: 2-1
Del Potro: 2-1

23 Cesc_Fabregas 44 0 44

First number is your previous score, second is your score from today, and the final score.

gj011 had a perfect 20. Followed by me who got screwed because Roger decided to df at a crucial point. :p That Roger! Congrats on second highest score, gj011! If the two lower seeds win tomorrow, I think you would win?

Thanks Seffina. It was a good day today :)

As Seffina said my only chance to win is if Djokovic and Del Potro win tomorrow so:

Djokovic in 3
Del Porto in 3

The little cheat that is Safinator is quite obviously waiting for me to post my predictions, so he can copy them and rule out any chance of being made ground on, so i'm gonna go as far as to not post them @ all and laugh @ him when he scores zeelch.

I havn't checked this thread in a while, thought I'd see how it's all going. I gotto say it's pretty funny. Its good tactics isn't it? he's playing by the rules, maybe the organizers need to make better rules next time :shock:

Well I could have done it in the last series to Vivalavida and Shadows but didn't (which resulted in a 3-way tie for 1st instead of an out-right win) and I don't think Shadows did it to Tennis_Maestro in the first 2 (or was it 3) rounds so it is just bad sportsmanship. I don't know how you would stop it though because you would have to prove that they were doing it. In this case Safinator admitted to it but in others it could be hard to prove 100% that they were doing it.

Maybe next time the rule could be that the first 3 ranked people going into each round have to vote in descending order. Just an idea.

Could be complicated due to time zones etc.


Could be. And also everyone would have to keep checking if they're in the top 3, so it may be a hassle.

Otherwise tennis Maestro and Safinator could wait until the last second like on e_bay and try to put their bids in just before the player from the first match hits a serve. :)

^ I think that's the only way to do it, have predictions be in before a ball is hit and just wait to make yours till the last moment :/

otherwise the logistics cause more issues and calculate it

Nadal in 2

trying to stay cozy? =p

of course not, it was a lighthearted (and somewhat sleazy) poke at the recent happenings in the thread =p
Because I don't need to cheat to cozy up next to you ... I have other ways. ; )

As to the things happening in the thread, I don't know what to say. It's just a silly predictions game. Predict what you think is going to happen and see how good you're at it. Winning is great and all (ask shadows, he's the expert (at doing special favors) at it), but it's really not worth all this hoopla.

Too right, you as well as the likes of Viva Lavida and Shadows are real lovers of the game, thats the difference. He isn't breaking the rules so i guess we can't ridicule him too much.

If private messaging was made available on the site, then player's could pm Seffina their predictions and we wouldn't concern ourselves with this shannaniguns. lol

You can just email me your predictions if you want and that way they'll stay hidden from others who may wish to copy.

I don't think that is acceptable. Everyone has to be able to see all predictions. Predictions that are not posted here should not count. It is only fair.

If you suspect they are copying yours you wait until they post theirs.

You post fake predictions first and than change them.

I think it's acceptable in this particular situation. It's almost 10:00 am (or 2:00 pm) and he can post each one here after the respective match starts for everyone to see.

My email's my screen name at gmail.

Sorry, not that I do not believe you, but this is making a dangerous exception, and is IMO against what this game is about.

This game is about posting predictions here for everyone to see. If everyone started emailing you there would not be much of a game left.

For this case, he can post his predictions couple of minutes before the match starts and if Safinator posts the same predictions after him we can all agree that they should not count.

This is just a game, not really that big of a deal, and if anyone is pathetic enough to copy someone else's picks so be it, but if we start to hide picks from each other, than there is no point playing the game anymore.

Disagreed, your making something out of nothing. Seffina can quite easily post up my predictions after the matches have started, as Seffina has said these are unusual and unfrequent circumstances.

Emailing one person all your predictions does defeat the purpose of the game, but so does blatantly copying a players predictions in order for you to maintain a lead in the competition. lol These sad, negative and cheap use of tactics need irradicating.

just post the prediction for the match that's about to start now, I've got a feeling that after such a negative public response if safinator even posts again it won't be to duplicate your predictions xD

Because I don't need to cheat to cozy up next to you ... I have other ways. ; )

officially intrigued xD
