I think US predictions would appeal to quite a few players (including myself) who pay attention to them but also put off many who don't have a clue.

And as Rzt says, the ratings are quite a bit higher. Over the next few weeks, NCIS, Dancing With The Stars and Sunday Night Football could all have ~20m ratings with several more in the 15-20m range. It'll be quite an achievement to get a single point for many of them, let alone any 5ers!

One possible way around it is to do it by the division method? Didn't we do something like that before? So you'd have some groups predicting UK and some predicting US? Then the "division" winners over the weekend in a final which could just be UK ratings so as everyone could play?

Also, happy birthday Dancc! :)
