Just fine for me, I put no research in and still have an equal shot at winning...

Technically, its better if less people enter because it increases the chances of those who were willing to put in 3 mins of typing numbers in. Hell, you could copy LC's example and that would be about 20 secs, though i would reconsider having JP as the winningest player...

This competition would have been a little interesting if we could see the suggestions. But we can't...

Sorry about that - link corrected.
Will try get an image file together to make it nice & easy to see.

I know that I am sometimes an arrogant ass, but I swear that I put CoF as my predicted winningest player, not myself! Hehe.

by **Commander62890** on Wed Dec 01, 2010 4:31 pm

It's surprising to see Dako and CoF chosen 3 times apiece, when no other player was selected more than once

by **laughingcavalier** on Thu Dec 02, 2010 6:37 pm

Updated.

Sorry! Yours was the only one that I got mixed up I think - it was right on the other pages of the sheet.

I was surprised too - seems everyone has a lot of faith in TOFU, and looking at how they're doing that may not be misplaced.

It is hilarious to see how far off everyone is in Div. B. Waaaaay over estimating BPB and AOD. BPB may end up in last here. We are looking at somewhere between 14-4 and 12-6 to push them further down. AOD was a big shock. Our 17-1 set really set them back. No one gave enough credit to Myth or Devils Brigade who both were tough as hell and battling it out for 2nd place.

From my point of view, 3 months of premium isn't nearly motivating enough.

Let's refrain from making non-researched statements.

There is a 4 game gap between you and the last place teams (2 are tied). You are losing your last set by at least a 6 game spread. If those two clans, who are playing one another, split, you will be in last. I didn't say you will be, just that you may end up in last.

Once again do your research, we still have games against both AoD and mythology that haven't been finished and are close to wins.

emphasis on quads mostly. the dubs games have been cut by more than 80 percent
to negate the 2 best doubles players on the site. fact...-the black jesus

by **lord voldemort** on Thu Dec 30, 2010 12:52 am

no there are less doubles as its not a good indication of clan strength...a majority of the clan world feel that trips and quads are a better representation...maybe your cla rep should of spoken up about it

imo it should just be evenly split between dubs trips and quads...they are all team games ffs.

Just some stats for you Owen

BPB in Clan League Games

Doubles 10 wins 10 losses (mikiesdios and Superrag 5 wins and 7 loses)
Trips 7 wins 17 losses
Quads 15 wins and 16 losses

I agree they are one of the best dubs teams I have ever played, I don't see how the changes affected you very much, as you were .500 in doubles games. Granted some games are ongoing and these will change a little, but I don't think it will affect much.

January update for the predictions?

Or maybe you should just wait until the League is over, which should be soon, right? I am uninformed... :oops:

Edit: sorry for double post; I meant to edit, not post again

by **laughingcavalier** on Fri Jan 07, 2011 7:41 pm

Well Commander I can see why you wanted an update...
You have taken the lead from pmchugh... with jrh_cardinal tied with you.
It'll be an exciting finish.
Good luck all

by **Commander62890** on Fri Jan 07, 2011 8:38 pm

Haha I obviously didn't think that was gonna happen... :-^

lol the 2 best doulbes players on the site is not a fact but an opinion and a pretty biased one at that. Also not really sure how you can justify this statement when they went 6-9 in the CL3. Either way, there has been a shift in the clan world to more trips/quads and thus the clan league adjusted as well not sure how you view this as people trying to handicap you. Did this hurt you, yes it probably did but if you were a great clan you would be able to adjust to the newer trends of clan competition.
