No matter for me,this thread will go on.

I do.(sorry for my poor english,but if you read french you could be surprised )
I don't talk.
I do the work.
Pleasure and amazing predicts for the week end.
Who cares?
No one ,i know.
Except the 12 players here.

Les autres se comportent comme ils se comportent dans la vie,comme si plus rien n'avait d'importance.
Je m'inscris en faux,et je ménage mon énergie pour des personnes vraies.
Dont acte.

Is it possible to ammend the format ?

The longer we go into the season, the less inclined newcomers will be - in trying to catch up on large leads.

I'd suggest a format that I've seen elsewhere, when the participants dwindled.

Make it into "Rounds"
One "Round" equals ONE Calendar month.
Game over at the end of each month - new start 1st of next month.
With new players hopefully not having play catch-up

Each Round /month has it's own Final Leaderboard
You could also combine all the monthly Leaderboards into a FINAL

Season-Long Overall Winner.

This way you'd satisfy the long termers, and also newcomers like me - who, to be honest would probably not have joined in if it was mid-September etc.- but if I miss one or two weeks, it's no big deal because a new Round will start soon.

This Portugal prediction could be the end of Round 1 seeing as it's also the end of the First Month.

Just a suggestion.

So pleased I got back in time for these. Guesses will still be as wild, but I have not missed a game.

FC Arouca 1 - 2 Rio Ave FC
FC Paços de Ferreira 0 - 3 FC Porto
Sporting Lissabon 1 - 1 Benfica Lissabon
Maritimo Madeira 2 - 1 SC Olhanense
GD Estoril 2 - 0 Academica de Coimbra
Vitoria Guimaraes 2 - 3 Vitoria Setubal
CF Belenenses 1 - 1 CD Nacional Funchal
FC Gil Vicente 2 - 2 Sporting Braga

Good luck to one and all.

Could put this to a vote and have a deadline of 7 days from now. I'm not fussed, It could work as someone could be more eager to join in since there not miles away.

Could work a bit like tour de france, seperate rounds = seperate stages and added at the end......just without illegal substances....well, i can vouch for myself
