Instead of writing a fanpost or just adding it into the LA Galaxy thread for this weekend, I decided that the results of the first half of our Guess the Starting XI and Final Score contest deserved a full write-up. We had a great first half and I wanted to report on some of the interesting statistics. But first, it is time to announce the winner of the first half. It came down to the wire with each of the top 3 participants (Arjon, John Andress, and Edmondk) selecting a different outcome for Saturday's match against Philadelphia. Unfortunately, for John Andress, the Whitecaps scored a 3rd goal (and Philly scored a 2nd) and he did not receive the 3-point bonus for correctly guessing the final score. As a result, he lost out to our champion ARJON by the same 3-points.
Congrats to our FIRST HALF CHAMPION ARJON.
With the LA Galaxy match this weekend, we start the second half contest as well as continue our year-long contest AND the non-MLS games contest.
For those interesting, I have included the FULL standings below. I also created a few 'interesting' categories. As some participants did not input a prediction each week, I included each participants average weekly score (for the matches they gave predictions). I also gave the average score for lineup prediction, the number of lineups correctly (all 11) predicted, winner predictions, and correct score predictions.
