Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 59 - League ENG/ITA Match Day 1
(2024/8/17-18)

(getting this post out so that we can start the season on time, even
thought I haven't finished setting up everything. Please excuse any
typos/mistakes/etc.)

What to do
-----------

Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away?

*Home*
- Before Thursday (= before 2024/8/14, 23:59 GMT)
=- Pick one team from each of the two matches

*Away*
=- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their
teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday 2024/8/17
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't
picked any team, you have free choice)
=- their opponents will represent your opponent

*ATTENTION: NEW RULE*: If the away player doesn't pick any team before
his/her deadline, the home player will be represented by the team that
achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams.
If the home player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the away
player can pick two teams (one from each match), and he/she will be
represented by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her
two picked teams. If nobody picks a team, teams are assigned randomly.

My eyes are tired. Can the gamemaster please tell me what tier I am in?
(and what tier he is in, just to be sure?)

THANKS.

No way I pick Monza, so I pick Everton.

You're a great guy, Doc. I hope I won't thrash you too hard.

You are seed number 3 in Tier 1. I am seed number 2 in Tier 1. That is,
you are not expected to stay in Tier 1 very much longer.

Ah well, sometimes one misses an opportunity.
And I like cherries. A lot. Our new house (not selling the current one
till next year) in B.C. is in a cherry (and nowadays wine) growing
region. Perhaps I will put in an orchard on our 3.2 acres of land (for
you Euros that is about 1.5 hectares), and write gloomy plays.

This year's cherry crop was lousy due to a late frost, though.

So by posting the results separately you managed to both satisfy your
impulse to announce my small misstep as soon as possible _and_ post
about it twice? Talk about efficiency!

I picked second but I'd have gone with Brighton anyway. I had
them on my coupon for an away win too, so happy days... keeping
it up is another matter though.
