For the newbies, 1. Soccer matches are always written as the home team vs. away team so that's how the pickem matches will be listed. (i.e. Liverpool vs Manchester United means the game is at Liverpool) 2. For the purposes of pickem the weeks will run from Friday to Thursday. Most leagues have at least one Friday game and international games end on Thursday. 3. During international breaks I do one big pickem to cover the two FIFA dates. 4. Submit picks via PM 5.

we need at least 10 for this to work and be worth the effort. I've been gone a long time so I don't know if the board has added any features to make it easier. Can any of the mods let me know?

Look at the upcoming week and try to pick the most intriguing games, always open to anybody else's suggestions. I try to make sure the games are competitive, dont want to have Real Madrid vs Granada just because I am Real fan. Once the games are posted, picks are sent to me by PM before the first game kicks off.
My only suggestion is if you're having trouble deciding between a couple games, maybe weight the televised game more, assuming it's not a Real Madrid-Granada type game.
Yes I can't remember ever putting an non-televised game. Some might be on GolTV or BeINSports which not everybody has, but they should all be televised.
I'm in, I'd have definitely been near the top last season as my assessment meter was firing on all cylinders. I'm curious to see how I function in that regard now that I'm (mostly) sober.
Preliminary Week 1 Matches (Aug 12 - Aug 19): Everton v Tottenham Bordeaux v St. Etienne Arsenal v Liverpool (Game of the Week) Sevilla v Barcelona (Spain Super Cup Leg 1) Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich (German Super Cup) Marseille v Toulouse PSV v AZ Alkmaar Feyenoord v FC Twente Chelsea v West Ham Barcelona v Sevilla (Spain Super Cup Leg 2)
I'll take suggestions too, those are not set in stone. Will be more variety once La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga start.
Yes. I'll post a separate thread too, this was more a list of the 10 games I liked to gauge the board's interest and see if you had any suggestions. Not sure how do you guys feel about including lower level leagues (i.e Championship) or big matchups/derbies from non top-5 leagues.
Well a few people already sent picks so I'll make those the official week 1 matches. Dont forget to include the score for the match of the week for a chance at an additional point.
picks in for week 1. I might not be able to make picks for week 2. if I don't make them can you just give me all the home teams and a 2-1 week in the GOTW?
