***UPDATE***:

So we have decided we are going to do the predictions for each match in the tie. Please post your prediction for the first leg at this time. Each correctly predicted winner for the match will earn half a point. You can predict a draw. These need to be posted by the first match. Thank you!

Right now we are predicting
(1) the overall tie winner
(2) the first leg results
A week before the second leg, we will predict the second leg results. Sorry for making it confusing.

And we are back! I know, I can hardly believe how the time has flown by. So many comings and goings in the transfer market, some of which may have influenced who you were going to pick.

If you missed the group stages, you are still welcome to join us now. Here is the link to the post that contains the rules and the points. For those who have been with us the whole time, you might want to refresh yourself on the rules. A reminder is that each accurately predicted winner of the tie will be worth 3 points. Do you guys want to predict match day winner for a half a point each or just do a round prediction? Please vote in the poll.

Matches:

Now on to the important part of the challenge - predicting your winners for the Round of 16.

Celtic vs Juventus

Valencia vs PSG

Shaktar Donetsk vs Dortmund

Real Madrid vs Man United

Porto vs Malaga

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich

Galtasaray vs Schalke

Milan vs Barcelona

Posting Your Guesses:

Okay, for this section, below is how I would prefer you post your predictions. I will be using Arsenal vs Bayern for this example:

Arsenal vs Bayern (winner in bold)

OR

Arsenal vs BAYERN (winner in capitals)

OR

Arsenal vs Bayern DRAW (in case you are predicting a draw)

Due Dates and Final Notes:

You have until the start of the first match to post your predictions. In this case, that is until 11:45 PST on February 12th. You are free to change your predictions up until the start of the first match.

If you are predicting a draw you must write DRAW next to the match. Any predictions left blank are counted as a no prediction. You don't lose points by guessing wrong, so go ahead and make a prediction on every match!

Best of luck to everyone!
