    Been away so sorry if this is a little last min but better late than never i though i might pop this up

    Fairly straight forward , simply post a reply and edit the table and input your prediction.

    Predict 1st to 24th - so if you think Hession will come 10th, just put in 10 beside his name.

    If an athlete has a DNF/DNS/DQ or is outside the top 24 this will be counted as a 24th place.

    Scoring: For each athlete prediction, if you predict the exact position you get 0 pts (also see Bonus). For each position your prediction varies you will be given a 1 point. So, you predict Hession in 10th, he comes 12th, you get 2 pts.

    Winning: The poster with the lowest score wins.

    Bonus: If you exactly predict an athlete's position, you get a -5 pts bonus. (Only get bonus on people who 24th exactly outside does not recieve bonus)

    Ok, you need to click on the quote icon on one of the previous posts and the table should come up. Just replace their predictions with your own. If you still have trouble then you can type out the names and predictions and i will convert it to table format. Good luck.
