Ok ladies and gents, we had plenty of interest in the sweepstake so here it is. As I said in the other thread, it's 200 posts to enter and prizes are 2000 posts for the winners and 1200 posts for the runners-up.

Although only 47 people registered there interest, I've numbered each side 4 times as I'm sure we'll get more than 2 late entries (if needs be we can go beyond 64 entries too). The list of teams/numbers has been emailed to Rotty so nobody can accuse me of cheating when I win.

Pick a number between 1-64 and when everybody has picked a number I'll reveal the teams. I'll try to update the OP as often as possible but please try to check posts above yours so you don't pick a number already taken.

If you haven't already registered, it's ok there's still plenty of room but please make it clear that you're new so I don't spend 10 minutes trying to find your name on the list (Moses!), thinking I'm going blind.

Bugger, missed it, can I join in? Pretty please?

Yes and even if there wasn't room, I'd have kicked somebody out to make room :p
 
I did ask earlier, can anybody that's not already on the list make it clear so that I'm not going through the list trying to find you when you're not there!
 
With those that have said they're in but not picked a side, we're up to 59 people now. That only leaves room for 5 new entrants as it stands. I'll number another lot of the 16 teams (taking us up to 80) and email it to Rotty but for the time being stick with 1-64 and if/when we need to, we'll then go up to 80.

51, said I might as well have it then changed my mind.

I was going to wind you up and make out it was a terrible change but then I thought somebody might pick it thinking it's a decent side.

I honestly haven't checked the sides (I probably will after writing this though) so I don't know which teams are 32 and 51.

Sorry for being a noob but how does this work ?

I've picked a number, then what happens ?

Once everybody has picked a number, I'll decide who I like best (or who has paid me the most) and give them the best sides ;)

Or seriously, I've already numbered each team randomly and when everybody has picked a number, I'll reveal the sides. There's plenty of time before the Euros start so we'll give those that haven't yet picked a number a few more days.
 
We're just waiting on sone, simulatorman, el_dazza, robfosters, Lonewolf, cheets64, piggeh and divaboy. How much longer do you guys want to give them before we let Pigeon pick a number for them?

edit: we've got room for 12 more entries in the mean time too.

How about giving them until this coming Saturday? The thread will have been open for over a week at that point for anyone to look in and pick their number.

My only concern is the unfair advantage that Pigeon picking for them may be given the notoriety his predictions attract. :p

Saturday seems fair.

After he won the Prediction League, 'doing a Pigeon' doesn't seem quite right anymore.
 
I've just realised that the amount of numbers left to be picked and number of people taking part didn't tally. After 15 minutes of panic and head scratching, I found the problem. Swordfish's pick had already been taken by sunny007.

Swordfish said:
30 for me please :)

30's already been taken. Pick again please.

What numbers are left? What happened to the other thread?
Click to expand...
The old thread is closed. I started another thread to make it easier to keep track of things. All the numbers left are at the bottom of the OP :)
