Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 55 - League CHL/BRA Match Day 4 (2023/9/9-10)

International break, so we are doing UEFA and ACN qualifiers

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

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

*Home*
- Before Thursday (= before 2023/9/6, 23:59 GMT)
=- Pick one team from each of the two matches, in order of preference

*Away*
=- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday 2023/9/9
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't picked any team, you have free choice; if she is Lassie and there is a tie, diregard the last vote)
=- 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.

Maybe because I replied to Mark my pick should be considered not valid?

Of course! And an invalid pick should mean MH being awarded the win, and
you being deducted 10 points.

All irrelevant since both Kazakhstan and Mozambique won.
The 10 point deduction, as satisfying as it might be to Milivella, is
also not going to have any relevance if I did my sums correctly.

We don't give arbitrary 10-point deductions in UPT.

It was as crucial as I predicted. I should get points at the
Unsophisticated Meta-Prediction Tiers.

Has it ever happened before? I don't remember. Anyway, congratulations,
