Copa America Contest -- 10 point entry fee

[SoV]

His name is Suarez,
he wears the famous red,
I just can't get enough!
I just can't get enough!

When he scores a volley,
or when he scores a head,
I just can't get enough!
I just can't get enough!

He scores a goal and the Kop goes wild, and I just can't seem to get enough - SUAREZ!!!!!

1st place: yisman, who wins 250 points

2nd place: courtemanche08, who wins 120 points

3rd place: Wiesnak, who wins 50 points

But special mention for courtemanche08, who I will send 30 extra points of my own, since he made the most picks in this tournament

[SoV]

Paid out all points. Will send courtemanche08 his extra 30 tomorrow, since I have 28 because of rake.

I wish everyone spares a bit of time and sends a quick PM to moderator, shari91, who added 250 of her own points to the winnings. She's been saving them up for an iPad but she still sent points. Very generous of her.

There were a few hiccups along the way, I was a bit late in updating things, but overall, I feel things were pretty smooth. It was my first time starting a contest and I'm pretty proud about it. I've had PMs from various members asking if we will have contests like this for leagues. I'm looking into it and thinking of a structure, but most likely, we will have more contests.

Thank you everyone for being very co-operative. I was late at times with lines and updates but everyone was patient and no-one ever complained and I highly appreciate that.

Finally, congratulations to URUGUAY for becoming CHAMPIONS OF SOUTH AMERICA for the record 15th time!

Quite a few of us cashed on the future, so well done to everyone!

[yisman]

thanks

I have a question.

I think court went 2-2.

wouldn't put him at 3? Doesn't change the places, so no matter.

[courtemanche08]

Yes, you're right. He went 0-2, so 3. Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed it.

[yisman]

I meant 2-2 between the updates. cheers

It worked out so that I could do no worse than tie for the top.

yuck, -9 for me..
this competition was a nice transistion in (football-less) summer break. can't wait for big club leagues to begin soon.

and congrats to the winners.

[FindTheLock]

I wouldn't have come in 3rd most likely because I would've made more wrong picks. That was a tough tournament to predict winners!
