Depends on whether there's fixture congestion or not. Has been known to happen...

Unless someone decides to amend their prediction before kick-off*, which wouldn't be breaking any rules... ;-)


*Allowing for EDF clock time delay

It would be breaking the rules.


You are not allowed to do that!

Of course you are. On PredictAddict you can change your predictions as many times as you want peior to kick off, after which it 'freezes'. If a prediction has been made on here after the official kick-off time then it will become void. I will work out what the time delay is after I've posted this...


Currently 5mins, so any predictions posted within 5mins of kick off will be void...

It's been re-arranged for next Monday, 24th...

By my calculations, 2 players definitely out, and it's 1 from 4 for the other wooden spoon place.

In the event of 2 or more players finishing on the same number of points, the player with the highest number of correct scores from all 3 rounds will go through. If it's still a tie, Ots gets to toss his double headed threepenny bit again...

You're right RD.


I don't think I was including the Sheff Wed predictions when I did the calculations.


I still don't think you should be allowed to change them. The fact that you can do it on predict addict is totally different because you can't see anyone else's predictions!


Just my opinion.


I certainly won't be changing mine to 2-1 just so I'll stay above you!

There are pros and cons with a ban on changing predictions. For instance if Barca announced today that Messi, Iniesta and Xavi were injured in training, I'd want to be able to change my prediction to reflect this. I think if someone did what you describe, it would be quite obvious and their 'win' would be tarnished. There are other loopholes in the format too, for instance there's nothing to stop someone waiting until everyone else has posted their predictions before posting their own. I can think of one player who is regularly one of the last to post their predictions... coincidence or tactics? I guess it comes down to the morals of the individual...

What would you do AM if you were one point behind me, and we both made the same prediction for the the Shef Wed game, thereby it was a 'dead rubber' and you couldn't beat me? Personally I'd have no problem if you changed your prediction. I think that is different than someone deliberately posting a matching prediction to stop a rival from catching them...

Not sure about everyone else but I never look at what else people have predicted

It's all about the fun of getting it right? or am I missing something


as for changing predictions I would rather get them in and then leave alone

that way everyone in same boat

I wouldn't change them on principle. Plus I'd feel like I cheated. I'm not that desperate to get into the top eight.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
