That's silly. It adds interest and competitiveness.

But this won't be fair or unfair, it will be based on yours or my own prediction power, not the ability of Mr Potato Head to kick a ball and the (sir) drunken scotsman's mind games.

I've looked at your entry and it seems quite strong to me. I've decided on my tictacs, I just haven't had the time to work through the fixtures yet. I'm going to submit an entry which IMO is more likely to win the competition than yours, but simultaneously likely to finish lower than yours.
