    H all.

    I have volunteered again to admin the 2018 Prediction League, and all are welcome to join in.

    The Rules - please read as rules changed for 2018

    Each member will make a prediction before match kick off and will predict the score and name the scorers.
    Each member will then earn 2 Points for predicting correct result [ex. Arsenal Win].
    Each member will then earn an additional 3 Points [ex. 5 Total] if they predict the correct result & scoreline [ex. Arsenal 3-0 Crystal Palace].

    Amended rule for 2018 - A member will earn an additional Bonus Point per each correctly named scorer.
    So even if you don't get result correct you can get bonus points for naming scorers.


    If you get result & scoreline correct you will get a minimum of 5 points and you can get additional points for naming the scorers.

    I think if you correctly predict 0-0 you should get some extra bonus points - as it's such a brave call perhaps it warrants 7 points - 5 for the correct result and scoreline, and 2 bonus points for naming no-one from each side


    Cup Games & CL
    In the event we play in a game that may require extra time or penalties please make your prediction as normal - for example Arsenal 2 Barcelona 1.
    If game goes to extra time you will get 2 points if you get the result correct irrespective if it is in extra time or after penalties. so in this example if Arsenal win after extra time or penalties you will get 2 points.
    If you get the score correct then you will get 5 points irrespective if it is in extra time or normal time - obviously you won't get 5 points if it goes to penalties.

    New for 2018 - The winner will get kudos and £money

    I will donate a £1 for all the games we have next season [including pre-season etc] that the winner makes a prediction in.
    So if Arsenal play 55 games and the winner makes 55 predictions then I donate £55 to the charity of the winner.
    Piskie has also stated he will chip in £10 - so that could be £65 for your charity


    PM the mods or me gooner4ever if you have any issues.

    Nice one G4E. And thanks for doing this again for this coming season.

    Just wanted to highlight this part again :

    New for 2018 - The winner will get kudos and £money

    I will donate a £1 for all the games we have next season [including pre-season etc] that the winner makes a prediction in.
    So if Arsenal play 55 games and the winner makes 55 predictions then I donate £55 to the charity of the winner.
    Piskie has also stated he will chip in £10 - so that could be £65 for your charity


    So make sure all of you predict in all of the games !

    you might want to edit your post* it so that it reads that i am doing the donation - otherwise it reads like you are going to lol


    *careful that the Edit Police Chief Inspector NSIS doesn't catch editing something that you haven't edited - or did you edit it to be the exact same so that he would have a meltdown - very clever if so

    So I can predict the entire team to score and I will get points for all correct scorers :)

    11-11 will be a frequent guess then ;)

    No - if you predict 2 1 then you name 3 scorers only (anything different is likely to lose points) and it's not like you need extra points :)

    You are right, but you'll not get many points for correct score predictions. That is still where these leagues are won and lost. But then you know that already.

    I think we need to have a rule where 'gamesmanship' is ruled out. So predictions of 11-11 or 10-10 to secure points based on scorers won't count.

    (Unless were playing Bayern Munich of course .....)

    I don't think it's an issue. It's not a way to get many points, It's still the case that getting the right score is the way to win. Another rule change is that points should be given for the correct Arsenal score. So if I predict Spurs 6 Arsenal 1 and the score is a bad one for us and we only win 5-1 then there should be points for correctly guessing the Arsenal score.

    You'd be better off predicting 5-2 to Arsenal :) but the suggestion is a good one.

    I will take a dim view of all attempts at points manipulation and any poster that tries "gamesmanship" will be treated by losing the points that they try to con/win and an additional 10 points - I think that is fair - thoughts

    Going to be a fine line. Is it gamesmanship if I predict Arsenal 7 Huddersfield 0 and have seven different scorers? If you give points for getting the Arsenal score right, then the 11-0 brigade will not prosper. In my example, give 3 points for 7-1, as I would have got the Arsenal score right, but not the overall one. Let anyone predict 11-0 if they want, treat it as a legit tactic, just one that will not get them very far.

    Count me in.

    And as we are doing the charity thing, if a Spurs fan wins it AND donates the proceeds to the THFC Foundation, I will donate 250 quid to the same, (or pseudo Spurs fan so we can include Luke). If a Gooner wins it AND donates the proceeds to the THFC Foundation, I will donate 500 quid to the same. Expect a few Spurs fans to take part.
