Dolphins are actually jerks, and electricity is a good thing. That's as far as my research went for this.

No wait, does it make sense that the Dolphins hail from Manta? Shouldn't they be Rays?

1. Aucas
2. Emelec

Ciao,
Werner

My life is too busy right now and I keep forgetting to submit picks here, so unfortunately, I am resigning from UPT. Perhaps one day Jackson will return...

What if I send you a weekly reminder?

I'm going for the Specialized High Performance Club, aka The Champions of Ecuador, aka Independiente del Valle. They play in a hideous black and blue striped jersey (despite having a crest with beautiful black and white stripes), and their owner seems to be some Berlusconi wannabe, but I'll close a blind eye this time.

I'm too upset to pick properly.

1. Gualaceo SC
2. Hey Macarena

Lassie likes bananas and bananamen, but the zoological affinity rule says that she should go for the Lions. My vote is for Cumbaya`.

Well, millivella did not choose.
So : Gualaceo.

Random.org says Independiente del Valle for Jackson.

Independiente del Valle had more than 60% possession and outshot Emelec 15 to 4, but the Electricians scored on a dodgy penalty and won 1-0. UPT sucks..

Macara` - Orense is played tomorrow. I will post the full MD1 results after it is complete.

Match Day 1 results and standings. The Ecuadorian Serie A is not exactly a high scoring league, is it?

Tier 1
----
Werner Pichler 1 - 0 Futbolmetrix (Emelec - Independiente del Valle)
The Doctor 0 - 1 Jesus Petry (Orense - Macará)


Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
3 1 1 0 1 1 Jesus Petry
3 1 1 0 1 1 Werner Pichler
0 1 0 1 -1 1 Futbolmetrix
0 1 0 1 -1 1 The Doctor

Early days, but it looks as if FUPTFC will be in another relegation dogfight?

Tier 2
----
Mark 0 - 1 MH (Independiente del Valle - Emelec)
milivella 1 - 0 ixion martin (Cumbayá - Gualaceo)


Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
3 1 1 0 1 1 MH
3 1 1 0 1 0 milivella
0 1 0 1 -1 1 ixion martin
0 1 0 1 -1 1 Mark

Despite his fluky win, milivella is not in first place. Justice is served.

Tier 3
----
Jackson 0 - 1 Homer Simpson (Independiente del Valle - Emelec)
Jesper Lauridsen 0 - 1 Lassie (Gualaceo - Cumbayá)


Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
3 1 1 0 1 1 Lassie
3 1 1 0 1 0 Homer Simpson
0 1 0 1 -1 1 Jesper Lauridsen
0 1 0 1 -1 0 Jackson

Tier 3 welcomes its robot overlords.

I think it's:

1 Goal difference
2 Goals scored
3 Not being Milivella :-)

Actually, it's:

1. goal difference
2. goals scored
--> 3. Number of picks <--- (note that there is a "Picks" column in the tables I post)
4. random draw (alphabetical order for the purposes of presenting the tables)

As milivella didn't pick, he was below MH.

Having said that, I like Mark's proposal. Maybe for once I will accept one of his proposed changes!
