Bold Prediction contestants,
Here's the error list for predictions made about the Bears game at Qwest Field tomorrow. We have 82 contestants entered in the contest.
At the time of posting, there are still 33 contestants who started play last week who haven't given me an entry yet for this week.
Please note that your entry has to be in by tonight, (Saturday), at midnight. If your comment says it was sent on Sunday, it's too late to be entered.
Also note that if you miss three weeks of entering in a row, you are eliminated from the contest and not elgible to re-enter so hopefully you Addicts will get your entries in today.
Before you enter them though, please go back and review the new format for entering your predictions on yesterday's (Friday's) article called "Bold Prediction Contest - Bears At Seattle" and enter them there in the comments section. There's a bonus question this week worth extra points explained there too.
Welcome back to the 45 contestants who are currently entered for the second week. Four others who made a comment yesterday need to look at the error list below for serious errors that could prevent them from acquiring any points this week if not corrected.
Everyone who made an entry into the contest should take a quick look at the list below and if you find your userid listed there, note the problem and make a comment attached to this post that updates your entry with the corrected data.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for catching errors so if I don't note an error on this list, you're still responsible for the correctness of your predictions and entering them in the proper format. I will note those errors that I happen to see during the task of inputting the data for the contest but I'm not specifically looking for errors.
If you're giving me a new set of predictions, make sure they are in the new format where only the answers are listed on 11 consecutive lines (see the contest post from Friday for an in-depth explanation). Any other format will not paste correctly into the spreadsheet and I won't do corrections to your data. Not enough time. Single prediction corrections or changes can be free form but if you are posting a comment with more than two corrections or changes, please give me the whole 11 prediction set again with your corrections or changes included formatted like your original entry.
I will try and update this list if more entries come in and I find more errors before the Saturday midnight deadline. If not corrected, you have no chance to get points this week for those entries in error.
Here's today's exception list so far:
yoda69 - incorrect entry format. ***
Ed Wadding - incorrect entry format. ***
Tomandrachelle - incorrect entry format. ***
cameltoes - incorrect entry format. ***
jmedic - incorrect entry format. *** Also: are you the same guy as jmedic82? I have entries for both (jmedic82 last week, jmedic this week). If you're the same guy, please pick a userid and stick with it or your points will end up split between the two userids. Let me know which one you will be using for the contest if they are both from the same person.
joemec - incorrect entry format. ***
Alberta Hawk - incorrect entry format. ***
Billy Showbiz - Incorrect format for Takeaway/Giveaway Quotient. "Even" is not a valid entry.
G.Miller - no bonus prediction for Bear's false starts found. The bonus prediction is worth two points. It's up to you if you want to make a prediction for that one or not but I just wanted to note that you didn't in your original prediction set.
galitsky94 - are you the same guy as galitsky? I have entries for both (galitsky last week, galitsky94 this week). If you're the same guy, please pick a userid and stick with it or your points will end up split between the two userids. Let me know which one you will be using for the contest if they are both from the same person.
*** "incorrect entry format". You haven't paid attention to the new entry format detailed in the Friday posting and your set of entries are invalid. You need to list your answers separate without the questions on 11 consecutive lines. Go back and re-read yesterday's Bold Prediction article where the new instructions are revealed and explained. Look at the comments and see how everyone else is doing it. It's not hard. Please re-list your 11 entries on a new comment either on Friday's article or this one before Saturday midnight.
You guys with other errors listed above also have until midnight Saturday to post your corrected entry.
New Contestents.
Welcome, Pacifisands, Chawk, TacomaHawk, galitsky94, Papahawk, DC hawk fan, PerryCollective, seahawkbj, hawkinator, and Joe Cool to the contest.
Wow! For someone who was so maligned coming into the season as Lojack was, he's made a dramatic recovery in esteem from the fan base if this contest is any indication. He's by far the favorite to be the sack master Sunday with nearly everyone picking him.
Good luck everyone!
Hasta,
BillT
