Backed off them in LMS, banker, and 12X at the last minute. Still had them winning in IKTS, but at least no banker, and draw in 12X though.

I've sent out a group email summarising the new individual entry sheets and how the deadlines will work going forward. Quick summary for reference:

Sat, Sun and Mon matches: 10am UK Time Saturday
Tue and Wed matches: 5pm UK Time Tuesday

btw if anyone has any suggestions for funky graphics they'd like to see on the sheet, let me know. I like making charts!

System and layout looks great. Awesome work. Thanks for doing it

Spreadsheet is awesome, but it's a little tilting reading 12X instead of the standard 1x2 normal bets/odds read

yeah, you're the second to point this out. I'm old, and grew up betting on 12X coupons so I'm conditioned to do them in that order, but I agree it's counter-intuitive and contrary to the way most betting sites display their odds these days. So I'll change it when tomorrow morning's deadline passes.

ETA: just going over the entries now, and there are still 2 players who haven't entered any picks for this weekend. Benedmonds and colinh13, you have until 10am UK time tomorrow morning or you'll score no points!

A graph or leaderboard for the last gameweek (or once a new week starts, the one in progress) could be a good addition?

Figure nows a good time to ask for this since you'll be top by the looks of things...

That's awesome. Makes it much easier, thanks!

And now with everyone having a personal entry sheet and picks locking for the whole gameweek at 10am UK time, is there anyway we can get the names attached to the picks on the mastersheet? instead of just the number? Or would that reveal their later picks as well if they picked future games as placeholders?

I suspect you're looking at the wrong master sheet. Try this one!

And yeah, take out Lukethefluke and I'm TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!!11!

Is it normal all my future picks are showing on the mastersheet ? I made a bunch of picks for the couple weeks incoming in case I forget to do it and we can already see them on mastersheet.

Note : can also see people's pick for tomorrow and monday's game yet the deadline was supposed to be 10am on the day of the game?

oops

that was a mistake, I imported to line 299 instead of 29!

corrected. Sorry!

ETA: the deadline for all weekend games is now 10am saturday, as communicated via email. I'm being lenient with people who overlook deadlines but still submit picks before kickoff for the time being though.

hope someone took a screenshot of my picks before kickoff yesterday, as otherwise it's going to look rigged

Next weekend's points are in the client. I've taken the opportunity to add a display of points scored to each private entry sheet, which ought to make it easier to keep track of your performance and also to identify errors in the scoring (of which there have been a few this week; my apologies to those affected!)

The weekly leaderboard idea is a nice one, but it was surprisingly troublesome to implement when I gave it a go the other day so I'm putting it on the backburner for now. I'm wary of asking the master sheet to handle too many formulae at this early stage of the season, as we may encounter performance issues later.

In other news, I have absolutely crushed it this week with 8 correct predictions out of 9. Come at me!

looks like the august motm could come down to the everton vs chelsea match...no peeking at my predictions before you do yours next week, im just gonna try and match you for every game!

haha, matching my selections will be a major leak long term!

You raise a worthwhile point though, in that I have an advantage in being able to see everyone's picks in advance. So for next week (and any other weeks in which I have a chance of actually winning some money) I'll PM my picks to the bottom two players in the relevant leagues a few days in advance. In this case, that's Dara D and Colin H, neither of whom are 2+2ers. So I'll email them my picks now, and also send a PM on here to the lowest-ranked 2+2er Spraggy.

Dara is a mate of mine, was just winding him up today about him being last, I'll be sure to let him know he is only getting your picks cos he is bottom!

I see there are still 5 players who haven't entered any picks for the weekend. You have 11 hours!

Looks like three key games today (Newcastle, Swansea and West Ham) will decide the first Manager Of The Month:

Ostrich my scores a little off for this week. Not that it ends up making a huge difference but I have points next to my name for incorrectly picking West Ham win and Swans/WBA draw and do not have points for picking the Newcastle draw and United draw

yeah I'm aware of it, the results are importing in the wrong order. I'll fix it after the everton game!

OK all looks correct now, lmk if there are any errors. Provisionally looks like Lukethefluke cannot be caught for August MOTM, will confirm tomorrow.
