100 and a bit more minutes until kickoff bump!

MIJB#19 · 03-18-2010, 05:07 PM

Yikes, it's been 24 hours since the last round 16 match ended already. And the draw for the quarterfinals and semi-finals is less than 24 hours away!

Round 2 scoring
In a shocker, not a single predictor had all 8 games correct. I have to say, that surprised me a bit, as there were only a couple of minor upsets. Three of us managed to predict 7 winners correctly: Big Fo, I. J. Reilly and MIJB#19. Atatange1, cartman and Ronnie Dobbs2 had 6 correct picks. Cards4ever, dacman and Katon had 5 correct. Butter of 69 and Scholes had 4 correct each.

Overall 2009/2010 standings
1. Butter of 69, I. J. Reilly and Ronnie Dobbs2 with 38 points
4. Big Fo with 37 points
5. atatange1 with 36 points
6. cartman and Katon with 35 points
8. Cards4ever with 34 1/6th points
9. Scholes with 34 points
10. dacman with 32 points
11. MIJB#19 with 31 points
12. cthomer 5000 with 24 points
13. TredWel with 23 points
14. condors with 22 points
15. Crapshoot and fantastic flying froggies with 21 points
17. oykib and SirFozzie with 20 points
19. Illinifan999 with 19 points
20 rest of FOFC with 0 points

Quarter-finals, semi-finals and Final scoring
The draw isn't out yet, but the forecast, here's how the last part of the predicting works. You predict the four teams that will win each quarterfinals matchup, followed up with a prediction of the two finalists, also mentioning who will win that final. A maximum of 50 points can be scored as follows:
* 3 points for correctly picking a quarter-finals loser
* 2 points for correctly picking a quarter-finals winner
* 5 more points for correctly picking a semi-finals loser
* 4 more points for correctly picking a finalist
* 1 bonus point if you picked the losing finalist to lose in the semi-finals
* 5 more points for correctly picking the runner-up
* 7 more points for correctly picking the winners
No worries if it's too complicated to keep track, the spreadsheet will do the trick for us.

Picking of semi-finalists, finalists and the eventual winner can be done immediately after the draw is out (on March 19th, the UEFA will first draw 4 matchups for the quarter-finals, followed by a draw to pair the winners into two semi-finals). The deadline for these predictions will be March 30th 2:45 pm Eastern. Everybody at FOFC is free to make their picks, no requirements to have played along with the first and second rounds (of course, joining now greatly diminishes your chances to win the season long predictions competition, you can still take the honors of being the best in predicting how the last three rounds will go).

MIJB#19 · 03-19-2010, 06:32 AM

The draw is out. Teams were drawn as follows into the playoff tree:
Bayern München (GER)
Manchester United (ENG)
Olympique Lyon (FRA)
Girondins Bordeaux (FRA)
Internazionale Milano (ITA)
CSKA Moskva (RUS)
Arsenal London (ENG)
FC Barcelona (ESP)

* Bayern meats ManUtd, first 'leg in München, second leg in Manchester
* ditto with the Lyon-Bordeaux, Inter-CSKA and Arsenal-Barcelona matchups
* The Bayern-ManU winnner meats the French winner, with the first leg in München/Manchester and the second leg in France
* Ditto for the Inter-CSKA winner vs the Arsenal-Barcelona winner, where the second leg will be in London/Barcelona
* The final is in Madrid, where the winner from Bayern/ManU/Lyon/Bordeaux will be considered the home team

Picking reminder:
* pick 4 semi-finals winners
* pick 2 finalists
* pick 1 CL winner

Probably the easiest way for me to add stuff to the spreadsheet is by listing your four semi-finals winners as ordered above and then add a bit of text for who you think will be the CL winner and CL runners-up, for example with my own predictions:
Bayern München - runners-up
Girondins Bordeaux
Internazionale
Barcelona - CL winner

Nobody picked Lyon. 7 of 8 isn't bad, I rose from 9th to 4th in the standings helped by some people not participating in the quarterfinal stage.

Scholes · 04-28-2010, 11:18 PM

Am I going to lose this by 1/6 of a point? I probably should have looked at Cards' picks before doing mine. Oh well, I still feel good about predicting the title match. Mourinho can't be stopped.

MIJB#19 · 05-01-2010, 01:37 PM

Post semi-finals standings:
1. Cards4ever with 60 1/6th points
2. Scholes with 60 points
3. atatagne1 with 59 points
4. Katon, Ronnie Dobbs2 and I. J. Reilly with 56 points each
7. cartman with 54 points
8. Butter of 69 with 52 points

11. SirFozzie with 43 points
12. MIJB#19 with 42 points
13. (and down) still as listed above, except that SirFozzie jumped into top12

Cards4ever and Scholes can still score the perfect 50 for the knockout phase, providing Internazionale beats Bayern.
