Mea Culpa

by smbrannan

This is my worst nightmare. Even worse than coming in last in my own pool1.

I made a mistake2 when calculating the results at the end of the Group Stage. Those of you who picked Austria to make it through didn’t get any points, even though they came first. When I fixed it, I found that there was actually a four way tie for first place. Here are the revised leaders:

1Letizia C34
1Richard H34

2Blair C32
2Cindy B32
2Dario P232

Here is a link to a revised table showing that corrected scores.

CORRECTED GROUP STAGE RESULTS

My apoligies to poor Letizia for getting her hopes up. I guess this is like having a goal disqualified after VAR review. The 175 loonies will be divided evenly among the 4 leaders.

I will send out a table with everyone’s picks for the remaining games as soon as possible, but it may be late tomorrow, or even Monday. It’s a long weekend, and the staff at Beautiful Pool HQ is slacking off.

  1. Even worst than dreaming that I’m back at university and have to write an exam after skipping classes all semester, which is still something that wakes me up periodically. ↩︎
  2. In my master spreadsheet, I used the abbreviation AUS, instead of AUT, for Austria as the Group D winner. ↩︎
