Predict the Score - Badgers at The Stadium - Deadline 6PM Friday

[Rick Mons]

This is a big one and the fifth of this season's "Predict the Score" event. Kick-off is scheduled at 11 AM Saturday and the deadline for submitting predictions is 6PM , Friday, Oct 2. Please submit in the correct format (moniker: Gophers xx Badgers xx) or your prediction will not be counted.

The winner gets listed in the "Roll of Honor" (see below) thus earning adulation and testimonies galore.

We'll also calculate and publish season-long standings as long as you've made at least one pick in the first four games (click on here (http://www.forums.gopherhole.com/boards/showthread.php?t=8208)for the Small Print and more details). There will be a separate award for the person who has the highest number of points during the season and has made a donation to the GopherHole by 10/31.) Standings through last game are here (http://www.forums.gopherhole.com/boards/showpost.php?p=98383&postcount=4).

You win if you predict the exact score -- according to Winnipegopher and SanDiegoPete (both winners who predicted the exact score) it's pretty easy. If nobody predicts the exact score, whoever picks the winning team and is closest to the exact score wins. (See Small Print (http://www.forums.gopherhole.com/boards/showthread.php?t=8208) for how that's calculated.)

Please note the additional provision for a game with tied scores. And please note what happens if there are picks with the same score differential and how we resolve this for both the game predictions and for the season standings. (We've had several ties for first place in basketball with the accompanying wailing, renting and gnashing by those who just miss out for the game in question.)

Please note that your prediction needs to include your moniker (screen name) followed on the same line with each team's name and score. I automate the data entry process as much as possible and thus ask it be in this format:
moniker Gophers (or Minnesota) xx Badgers (or Wisconsin) xx

example: MNSnowman Gophers 37 Badgers 34

If everyone uses their moniker, this format and consistent names for the teams, it's easy and fast to transfer the data to a spreadsheet used to track predictions.

You should check the summary for your prediction to make sure it has been included -- if it's not in the right format, it likely will not be included. (The biggest reason for not getting your pick counted is not putting your moniker in the prediction and/or putting the score on more than one line.)

And even if you don't win this game's prediction, you'll garner valuable points in the Predict the Score Contest as long as you pick the winning team and have made a pick in at least one of the first four games (see "Small Print (http://www.forums.gopherhole.com/boards/showthread.php?t=8208)").

A lot of you are really bad at following directions and typing in your score correctly. It's cute to give nicknames and all, but when the guy wants it consistent for data entry purposes, you're just being annoying. Pretty typical, though.

Only 5 predictions today -- last prediction was around noon.

Let's see if it was the fact the thread slipped off page one this evening or if there's just not that much interest in this game compared to previous ones.
