I've posted the men's points. ImaginaryPogue somehow managed to pull of a perfect score despite the really unpredictable results

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aokj9T7ryMaFdG02UGthRDYxMkZuU1VZMGZhZnBpLWc#gid=0

So the top ten in the mens section is:
1. Imaginary Pogue(1,168)
2. Mrs. P(1,043.7)
3. SubRosa(986.7)
4. mystichaze(935.6)
5. Totentanz(922.6)
6. Butterscotch17(920.6)
7. sequinsgalore + IrishFlip(830)
8. jChamp + Tulosai(812.5)
9. burntBREAD(775.4)
10. Sky_fly20(750.4)

Compromise. Predict those you're rooting against. If you're right, you're happy. If you're wrong, you're happy.

Don't do it always, of course! I'm totally breaking my own rule, so.......

I'm apparently the only one so far who predicted Mao first in China! Go Mao! :agree:

 

[burntBREAD]

I'm apparently the only one so far who predicted Mao first in China! Go Mao! :agree:

You aren't...

Go to the past page, at least 6 people predicted her in first.

 

[FSGMT]

You aren't...

Go to the past page, at least 6 people predicted her in first.

Just one word: I'm stupid!! I thought I was among the first ones to post CoC predictions, and that the last page predictions were still the SC ones!
I just discovered that I won the SC Pairs prediction, so :yay:

 

[colleen o'neill]

Macassar ..I have to add my thanks to you ( and I'm in awe of the score keepers). Normally, I hate to make predictions, and either avoid them or suffer horrible angst over them ( I'm such a waffler!). But you've made it a GAME , and I do love to play , win or lose. I'm really having fun with this.

For SC I just wasn't thinking ( and I think I had Mura confused with Machida ) So I've tried to think a bit more for CoC..this may or may not mean improvement..
