1. Something we learned last year is that we are ALL terrible at guessing. Welcome to the party!

2. To not be dead last all you have to do is actually guess for each event. If you do this you'll be in the middle at a minimum, promise :)

I find the people who win these types of prediction games tend to not over think it.

I had a co-worker win an NCAA tournament pool who knew nothing about basketball. She basically made her picks on which teams had better looking uniforms.

And as in March Madness, you always have to account for the "Cinderellas" and the No. 1 players who choke. ;)

Thanks - and thanks for organising it!

Ah, well, then I'll be denied even the glories of Last Place? Being in the middle sounds so... undistinguished. Oh, well... ;)

@ Mrs P - I can definitely say that I have not overthought it. :) I also haven't gone with my own preferences (this time - that may change another time), so if things turn out better for some of my favourites than I guessed - well, I'll have some consolation there at least. ;)

You should really post some guesses to fill out your form, especially dance. You will surely get some points for them. No need to handicap yourself.

There is some evidence that Joubert is out of Skate Am.

I've picked him as my alternate... if the rumors are true, and he is out... how should those of us who have him on our lists go about revising?

Do we edit our original submissions?

Per the rules outlined in the first post of this thread, you have until an hour before the first event at Skate America to post your submissions.

Thanks. My question was how to revise an already-submitted prediction...

Before gametime, I'm going to edit my original post, noting the date/time I've edited and why...

If that doesn't work for the game administrator, I suppose he/she will tell me.
