Cottagers and the Great Team that makes the world tremble ("che tremare
il mondo fa"). An obvious choice, as I have always hated the Lakers.

While we wait for the end of MD4...
What to do
-----------
Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away?
*Home*
- Before Thursday (= before 2024/9/11, 23:59 GMT)
=- Pick one team from each of the two matches
*Away*
=- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday 2024/9/14
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't
picked any team, you have free choice; if she is Lassie and there is a
tie, disregard the last vote)
=- their opponents will represent your opponent
*ATTENTION: NEW RULE*: If the away player doesn't pick any team before his/her deadline, the home player will be represented by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams. If the home player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the away player can
pick two teams (one from each match), and he/she will be represented by
the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams.
If nobody picks a team, teams are assigned randomly.

Clever play to pick after the deadline. Now the opponent have to wrestle
with either ignoring it or sticking to the rules in this crusial, season defining match. And if you do stick to the rules, how humiliating will
it be to then lose, despite having to match to get the result in.
Perhaps it's best to not pick at all, and just leave it to random?
But random also involves the game master, so...
Genoa & Arsenal

Mark's late equalizer repels upstart Lleo's assault and keeps
him in first place. But everything still possible in the
promotion race. Wooden spoon goes to Jesus.

I don't understand how the scoring for this works as one of my
picks was Arsenal, who did better than Genoa.

Jesus (your opponent) picked Roma. You only get to choose the
best of your two picks if your opponent doesn't pick. There is
(in theory) a bit of a home-field advantage in this game, but
not that large!

Day 5
Results and standings:
Tier 1
----
milivella 1-1 The Doctor (Fulham - West Ham) Futbolmetrix 2-2 Werner Pichler (Bologna - Como)
Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
10 5 8 4 4 4 The Doctor
8 5 9 6 3 5 Futbolmetrix

Two last-minute equalizers mean that everything stays the same in Tier
1. That is, milivella in last place and bound for relegation. The
title will be decided in a head-to-head showdown between Doc and me.
Tier 2
----
MH 0-1 Jesper Lauridsen (Tottenham - Arsenal) Futbolmetrix 2-2 Werner Pichler (Bologna - Como)
Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
7 5 9 9 0 5 Werner Pichler
7 5 5 7 -2 5 Jesper Lauridsen
4 5 4 6 -2 3 MH
MH pays dearly for his late pick, but he could still get promoted by
beating Werner by two goals in the last matchday, and some help from milivella.
Tier 3
----
Lléo 1-1 Mark (Fulham - West Ham)
Blueshirt 1-1 Jesus Petry (Genoa - Roma)

What if I had only picked one team... say Arsenal?
Is it the top 2 that win promotion from Tier 3 this season? I can't
remember.

Interesting! I don't think we have ever had such a case. But I
would say that if the home player picks only one team, it
counts as an incomplete pick. This means that the away player
gets to pick whichever team he likes best out of the unpicked
matchup, and his score will be the best outcome of his two
picks. Example:
- You (home player) pick only Arsenal
- Jesus (away player) picks Tottenham (forced) and Roma (free
pick) - Results: TOT-ARS 0-1, GEN-ROM 1-1. Jesus gets his best
outcome out of his two picks, i.e., Roma. The selected
matchup is Genoa-Roma, and you both go home with one point.

Apologies, I had in-laws from Belgium visiting, and we were travelling
and in a different time zone. I read too quickly that entries were due before Thursday, and put mine in while it was still Weds where I was.
Incidentally, given that most picked matches seem to be Sunday ones, why
is the entry time so (Weds lunch time for me) most weeks ?
So the 'home' pick is two teams, but it's the 'away' pick [of
one team] that decides what match that will count? So basically,
'away' gets the advantage! ;-)
Hmmm, it's interesting though... I will have to remember that
the next time I am the 'away' pick.

Sorry, but the message explicitly says that the deadline is Wednesday,
23:59 GMT. I will have to be inflexible on this one (blame milivella)

You want to enjoy the beautiful views of the Canadian Rockies? Pay the
price with an early UPT deadline! (blame milivella here too) (Also, a
lot of the matches are Saturday ones)

Being in Tier 3. Blueshirt FC could win promotion 2 years in a
row and then win the League 8 years in a row; they couldn't
win it all 10 years though. :-)

Well, not exactly, because the home player gets to choose
first, so they constrain the choices of the away player.
