Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 57 - League PAR/URU Match Day 3 (2023/2/24-25)

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

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

*Home*
- Before Thursday (= before 2023/2/21, 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 2023/2/24
- 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.

When it's between two rivers that have nothing to do with Uruguay
geographically, I have to go for Danubio, don't I.

1. Danubio
2. Guaraní

Ciao,

Oh crap, I missed the deadline. I guess that means I get 2 de Mayo.

According to wikipedia, it combines the name of a tailor's shop on Montevideo (El Sastre Boston), and River Plate (of which the founder was a huge fan)

anything?

Hmm...I'm afraid I'll have to do the evil gamemaster enforcing the rules thing. By missing the deadline, Mark gets to have the best outcome of his two chosen matches. Sorry :-/

Oh, I had forgotten about that rule change. 2 de Mayo winning as I
write. But no doubt Liverpool will go down to ignominious defeat tomorrow.

But just like the stats lists, there is no prize!

1-1 draw, not so bad. And 2 de Mayo won 2-0.
