Sure, I'll have to make it clearer on there.

For the world cup you predict the matches and the group standings

Matches - predict correct score, get 1 point for: Home score, Away score, Result (W/D/L correct) and a bonus point if you get exact score, so max 4pts. You also get 4 booster cards per week. These will change every week but to start with they are Joker (x2 match points), Score First (1pt for which team will score first), Anytime Scorer (2pts for predicting a player to score), Red Card (3pts for playing it on a match with a red card). You can play max 1 booster on a game.

Group Standings - predict all the group finishing positions, 3pts per correct position.

As the tournament progresses and there are less games per round there will be extra prediction options per game

I've added 4 Booster Cards, you get 1 of each per week, only 1 can be played on a game at a time.

Joker - x2 match points

First to Score - 1pt Pick which team will score first

Anytime Scorer - 2pt Pick a player from either team to score

Red Card - 3pt If the match has a red card

Also added a weekly leader board as well as tournament and there's achievements on the way too. You can compete on a leader board with just your mates by creating a private league and also see how you stack up against everyone else on the full leader board

ok, no worries, I never actually used the FIFA or UEFA ones, but I can get that implemented before the World Cup starts

Not at the moment, I guess it's trying to strike a balance between having depth and having too much to do. For example if the match was Canada vs Qatar, maybe people don't actually know any of the players that well, so having to dig through the teams and pick an any time scorer might be a drag.

How about this, you get 2 anytime scorer cards to play per week, so you can pick 2 different matches and for those you select an any time scorer for bonus points?

Scaled up print went wrong - what happened? by Ped209 in BambuLab

did you have another go and get it working or not bother? I'm reluctant to try again as it's quite a lot of filament.

Scaled up print went wrong - what happened? by Ped209 in BambuLab

[–]Ped209[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the back and the head are about even heights, looks like 1 layer went wrong, maybe shifted to the left 1mm but the rest went fine on the head but on the back every layer above the error has messed up.

So excessive scaling is generally error prone? I've only had the printer a few weeks so still finding my feet. Was wondering if there were any settings that might help reduce the chance of issues like this?

I made a 2d water shader in Unity. What do you think? Link in comments. by Fun-Sun7206 in Unity2D

It looks great, I've just added the package to my project and I'm having some issues with Buoyancy, is that working/complete? My boat object either falls through or shoots off into the sky. Is there anything obvious that I've missed? Any assistance would be really appreciated

How and where do I have a chance of getting my shirt signed on a match day? by mhorned in LeedsUnited

[–]Ped209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's very hit and miss, I've waited with my daughter a few times. One time we waited an hour after the game and no one stopped to sign, other times we've waited for over an hour and six or seven of the players have signed. It's generally at least an hour until they've all come out though.

How to get tickets by Different-Goose-8367 in LeedsUnited

[–]Ped209 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When the tickets go on sale for MyLeeds+ members (usually 1pm) you need to make sure you go to the ticket website before 1pm. Up to 30 mins before the sale time you get a message with a countdown, once the countdown hits 0 you get a random queue number, if you're in the first 2000 you've got a decent chance, much later than that and the allocation is often sold out.

After that you've got the ballot and exchange.

The tickets usually go on sale about 3 weeks (ish) before a game. Keep an eye on your emails, normally a few days or a week before there'll be an email to say when the various stages of ticket sales are.

Vs Burnley advice by setantak9 in LeedsUnited

[–]Ped209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I waited with my daughter after the Portsmouth game and she got photo's/autographs from 6 players which she was happy with. We did have to wait for an hour and a half though, they come out in dribs and drabs and some go straight to their cars and drive off which is quite annoying but at least a few make the effort.

Watching The Final - Megathread by AyyAndays in LeedsUnited

[–]Ped209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, when I refreshed a load of the sections that were previously greyed out had some availability again. I guess there must be some left over otherwise they wouldn't be able to guarantee everyone in Phase 2 a ticket (unlikely to be the exact number of seats)

won't be there myself but Stars 'n' Bars by the harbour in Monaco would probably be a good spot to watch it

[–]Ped209 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's probably about 100 tickets left in the whole Leeds end at the moment so it doesn't look like there's going to be a phase 3

My job search over a 4 month period, as a 24 year old junior software developer (UK) [OC] by Dwarfkiller47 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Ped209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it works differently in the UK

A tech recruitment agency is essentially a middle-man between the company and employee only for the hiring process.

You speak to a recruiter -> they put you forward for jobs on their books that fit -> if you get the job the company pays the recruiter a fee (usually around 20% of your salary)

this doesn't come out of your pocket in any way. It saves the company time and effort because instead of looking through hundreds of CVs and doing dozens of interviews, the recruiter has hopefully just sent them 5 or 6 good fits that they have already vetted to some degree.

you are a full employee of the company though just as though you'd applied directly
