Technical problems

Apologies to those of you who experienced difficulties submitting your predictions using the form last week. This was due to a problem with a small number of user accounts which caused by a software update which had to be applied at short notice. Those who sent in their predictions by email should see their entries were added.

The problem should now be fixed so if you were among those affected you should be able to add your prediction for the next round and all subsequent rounds via the usual page:
