Note to Moderators: If you could please allow this post to stay up through today (Friday), and then you can move it over to Other Sports etc that would be nice

Its a simple contest, and here are the rules in a nutshell

Football/Football Pick'em contest.

10 American Football Games (NCAA/NFL)
10 Interational Football (soccer to us Americans) games mainly from the Premiership... international games, or games from other leagues in certain circumstances.

Picks are Straight Up (not against the spread)

Picks must be made before the start of the first listed game (sometimes there are exceptions).

Missed Pick = 0
Draw = 1 (unless you pick "Draw" then 2 or 3)
Correct Pick in your version of football = 2
Correct pick in other version of football = 3

Aussies and others who want to participate, have to declare which sport is their "Away" sport that they will recieve 3 points for, and stick with that throughout the season.

The NCAA (whatever that is) is full of well known teams like:

NCAA
1. University of Houston (1-0) at Oklahoma St. (1-0)
2. Mississippi (1-0) at Wake Forest (1-0)
3. Miami (1-0) at Florida (1-0)
4. Minnesota (1-0) at Bowling Green (1-0)
5. Georgia Tech (1-0) at Boston College (1-0)

I find it difficult to predict the results of teams that I've never heard of, mind you I notice some of the yanks have predicted on Our international games and most of them have only heard 4 countries (US, Canada, Mexico and Iraq)
