**OVERCLOCKERS UK EURO 2016 THE GREAT GAME PREDICTOR COMPETITION**

Hi Guys,

So now that Portugal have shocked us with a win over France we have now finished this competition. Now due to the problems with points not showing correctly the winner will not be announced yet as we are looking into why the points are not showing correctly.

We will also look at the points for the first game and decide what we will do with regards that game.

We need to ensure that this is done correctly and the correct winners get there prizes.

Please be patient and I will keep you updated.

If you do want to send me an email with regards to your points not matching the table please email my trust and we will make sure it is correct. Hopefully the change that is made will make sure everyone's points match the leader table.
 
Hi,

We are currently trying to find out why this is and we are going through the predictions and when they were made.

It may take a day or two to sort out so please be patient even though I know you all want to know the final result.
 
Hi Guys,

Apologies for the delays in getting this sorted out.

We have found out what the issue is and we are going through all the predictions manually one by one to count the points correctly.
 
Good lord. I don't envy the person who's doing all the counting! Give that guy a prize :D

Hi, Yes it has taken us a little while to sort out but we are nearly finished and almost double checked. I will post the results in the morning once the double check has been completed.
 
Hi,

So we have been going over the results of the competition manually over the last few days and making sure that we have counted up all the points correctly and double checked them to make sure.

So the issue with the points was that one of the games allowed people to enter a prediction after the game had finished which was the Spain vs Italy game. Anyone who entered the prediction after the game has had the points deducted from the score.

Regarding the France game The winner did not even predict the first 4 games and won by 3 points. Also a lot of people did not get a prediction on for the first game and the ones that did get it in on time have not had an effect on the top 3 results.

So the top three winners of the competition are:

1st - Haco
2nd - Safetytrousers
3rd - Planty

There has been a lot of change in the top 10 due to the points issue not showing correctly and as we have manually checked them these are the final results.

We have your emails and we will be in touch regarding your prizes.
 
Hi Robbie,

Can you double check this? I am certain my prediction for this game was not changed after the game was played.

I pointed out the date error on the game in this post: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=29702238&postcount=118

I may have clicked submit again like an idiot, but hopefully you can see my correct earlier prediction when it was made?

Hi, we have to go off the final saved prediction as that is all the system saves. You put the correct score that you submitted which you may have saved again but it would still only make you 4th place.

You will be entered into the prize draw which we will do next week so you could still win something.
 
WOW. I never thought that I'd win it having missed the first four games but here we are :cool:

I gotta thank OcUK and fellow users. It made Euro a lot more fun and winning something in the end is a cherry on top of everything. ;)

Hi,

Good job my better than myself sitting on 29 points but I'm using the excuse I was on holiday at the time and may have had a few beers when predicting. :)

I will be doing a random number generator for the surprise draw for everyone that beat my score of 29 in the table.

We are just working on a prize that we can allocate to the draw so we are looking at doing it Monday morning.
 
Hi,

Don't worry people on 29 points will be counted in the draw as well as its the same position really.

The next comp like this will probably be the World Cup so a little while yet.
