• Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 59 Cup semifinals

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 7 00:28:20 2024
    We'll be doing UEFA Nations league, weekend matches.


    What to do
    -----------

    Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away? In any case:
    remember that it's single-leg, and a draw qualifies the team with the X
    on its side.

    *Home*
    - Before Wednesday 2024-10-09, 23:59 GMT
    - Pick one team from each of the two matches.

    *Away*
    - After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked his
    teams) and before kickoff of the first match
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if he hasn't
    picked any team, you have free choice)
    - 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.)"

    Portugal and Switzerland

    Fry me! Provably unbalanced matches.

    You could have avoided finishing last in Tier 1 and get a more favorable
    draw.

    Hm...I think this pick came after Belarus-Northern Ireland had already concluded. It ended 0-0, so in any case you would have lost, but Werner
    gets assigned his best outcome anyway.

    Werner Pichler 2-0 Mark (North Macedonia X2-Armenia 1) Blueshirt 0-0 Lléo (Gibraltar X2-Liechtenstein 1)

    I picked on Thursday, but it didn't show up until Saturday. It was
    probably because of the problems with eternal september.

    So the correct result is a 0-0 draw.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to verify this, so the official UPT
    result remains Werner-Mark 2-0. Sorry :-/

    However, to dispel the impression that I am out to get Mark UPTFC, I
    will make sure that in the next UPT season, in one of Mark's home
    matches (randomly chosen), he will get a favorable set of matches to
    choose from.

    Surely this will dispel the impression that you are out to get _Mark
    UPTFC_.

    Surely you wouldn't suspect that a fair and impartial gamemaster would
    do anything that challenges the integrity of the game? I said that the favorable match will be randomly chosen[*], and I intend to stand by
    that!
