Shrewsbury Prediction League Table

The following thread is the list of results for participants in the Shrews supporters prediction league. I will try and post a list of participants and their score.

Points will be awarded for:
Score - final score (accurate 3 points, in same ratio 1 point)
Scorers for town (Exact scorers in goal order get 2 points each, otherwise point for a named scorer)
Attendance

Make you predictions on the pre-match thread.

In bold are people who predicted for this match (plus previous scores)

 

i didn't want to hit the front too soon, just like the shrews!

 

None of us has done well!

Should I give points for scorers if someone predicts 3-1 and the first two scorers are right in a 2-1 result, or should I only award points if the (home??) score is correct?

 

Bit complicated this..

 

Nah, simples.

1 point correct score
1 point for each scorer
1 point point for attendance

Only thing is what to award scoring wise, should you only award points for scorers if it matches the final score. Which i think is the best solution

 

as simple as poss. final score, 1 point scorers, 1 point final score, 1 point nearest attend. fs coys

 

The moot point is one point for each scorer or one point for all being predicted correctly no matter how many.

A low scoring round for all of us. As a suggestion I might give 3 points for an accurate scorline and 1 point for a scorline on the same ratio. E.g if prediction is 3:1 and the result is 4:2 then a is point awarded, if you predict 1:1 and it ends up 2:2 i'll award one point; obviously if yet get it exact then you get three points!

Okay for all?

 

Fine with me.

However, if I did it, I would structure the system something like this:

5 points for the exact scoreline (i.e. 3-1 win), 3 points for the closest attendance, 2 points for the scorer of each goal correctly predicted (i.e. predicting Collins x2 vs Torquay would get 4 points) and a point for the correct result (i.e. win/draw).

So say I said we'd beat Torquay 2-0, with an attendance of 5263 and Collins getting both, that'd be 5 for the scoreline, 3 for the attendance, 4 for the scorers and 1 for the result, and thus a total of 13 points. When I had a predo league with some mates, that's the structure I did.

But anyway, this is, as they say, your show. I would like to also say thanks for doing this Matster as I can see how time-consuming it must be.

 

Cheers for the input Lenny. I can see where you're coming from with that, but there is no difference between getting 2 points for a correct prediction or 1 point, unless you can award a point for not being completely accurate. It's bloody confusing sometimes and it is only a trial that I hope we can all evolve together. BRB on the Gills board runs quite a simple one, but they try to get different predictions to maximise their scores. One possibilty is awarding 2 points if you get the exact scorers in the exact order...

 

True, I think the main benefit of offering a different amount of points is that is easier to get the one of the scorers than it is to guess the scoreline. I'm happy to run a league next season, as I can set up an excel spreadsheet to keep it organised without having to work hard. As you say, this is just a trial run, though, and it's just nice to have some form of friendly competition.

Another possibility I would consider would be having the table at the top of the thread, and updating it after every match so that it's easier to see the scorers.

 

Table at top sorted. I'll have a play with Excel.
