Prediction League Prediction League - 2019-20 -***FINAL RESULTS - see post # 829***

NEW SEASON (2019-20)

The more participants the merrier.

NOTE:
The management committee - Duffens_Briefs & yours truly, have made a minor change to the rules. Instead of 3 pts for predicting an exact score, 2 pts will be awarded this season.
First set of fixtures for the new season will be supplied by Duffens_Briefs at least a week before the first PL matches start.

Yours truly will post weekly results & approx monthly season-to-date stats as the season unfolds.

Recommend you check your weekly scores. Appeals after 2 weeks will be summarily ignored.

If any punter inadvertently submits TWO or more sets of predictions for the same round, the first set posted will be the one that is recognized for the record. If either the first or subsequent set(s) are nullified before the deadline for entry for the given round, the remaining set is the set of record. If spotted before the deadline by anyone else, please comment by posting a reply to the errant miscreant.


(A) Format etc

10 fixtures per set:

Weekend fixtures only (Sat, Sun, & Mon). City's Friday matches only exception.
- 4 PL matches
- 4 Championship (must include HC AFC's match),
- 1 L 1
- 1 L 2

*** 90 Minutes Rule. If any fixtures require 30 mins extra time to be played (e.g FAC, playoff 2nd leg fixtures), the score at 90 minutes is the result of record for the purposes of the Prediction League.

*** If a punter inadvertently submits 2 or more submissions - daft sods with poor short-term memories like me (tc), the first date/time stamped set will be used.

(B) Fixture set up:

*** Anyone can submit a set of fixtures: - let's have as many punters as possible contributing to setting of fixtures ***

History tells us the only reliable punter in this regard is Duffens. He's up for a promotion. Well deserved, based on his track record of keeping the average weekly scores down to approx 6.5 points out of 30 available per week.
I vote for Duffens. You lot don't get a vote.

- First set of fixtures posted is used
- submit new week's set after the deadline for the currently active set has passed
- as early as possible in week to give participants max time to enter
- If no set appears before mid-night GMT Wednesday,that week is void.

Note: NO FIXTURES TO KICK OFF BEFORE 3 p.m. Saturday UNLESS it's City's match.
Note: Some mid-week fixture sets may be set up in exceptional situations (Easter, Christmas etc)

(C) The competition.
- predict scores for each fixture
- 2 pts for "exact" score, 1 pt for correct W/D/L

NOTE:
- We recommend you check your weekly scores. Appeals after 2 weeks will be summarily ignored.
- Whoever posts the first set of predictions, PLEASE VALIDATE that the ORIGINAL fixture set posted is accurate to prevent confusion/invalid submissions by other posters. (suggest use the BBC website).

(D) Prizes. (honour & glory only)

A - weekly points total winner (or share of win) a.k.a. High-Water-Mark (HWM)

NOTE:
Whoever posts the first set of predictions, PLEASE VALIDATE that the ORIGINAL fixture set posted is accurate to prevent confusion/invalid submissions by other posters. (Use the BBC website).
Please join in. The more the merrier.

Minor point Febbos - can you put your predicted scores BETWEEN the two competing club names as others do please ?
A single presentation format makes it much easier for me keeping track - my eyesight is pretty bad .
Much appreciated.
