From: Real Mardin on 7 Jun 2010 12:26 Sorry to ask such an un-sophisticated question in this most sohisticated of threads, but just for clarification: Does "P_R1" indicate the percentage chance of the team being eliminated in the first round? So if I think Argentina are 90% likely to advance from Group B I actually insert a value of 10% (or .1000) into column "P_R1"? Or not? RM
