[football] it's prediction time again. Season 3 League 1 starting Sat 06 August...
EDIT: if you're a "hesitant potential player", there's no reason not to join in. It's not a competition closed to regulars. New players are welcome, wanted, maybe even needed :(.
Nothing much to say really, you don't have to read this and can just get on with it if you want to. I've tweaked the scoring system. (Details below; If it fails miserably, I'll bring back the old one). I hope most of the people who played last season are still around, and a few new ones may feel this a good time to join in. (Just quote either of the fixture lists and put scores in the gaps.) The team-stuff I'll leave till midweek (obviously you can't have someone in your team until they've posted an entry) but this time, as well as being an extra league table to argue about, they'll also be used for cup knockouts. edit : I've just removed Portsmouth v Iran which I understand has been cancelled due to Millwall fanatics or something. Obviously some of the other friendlies (which are only there for fun anyway) may not take place either. SCORING As usual, generally right "G" earns you 1pt. Exactly right "X" gets you 3. Longshot win bonuses happen when no more than 3 people have predicted a result correctly, and are scored at 3 points for general, and 3 points + number of goals for exact. As before, longshots don't apply to draws. What's new for draws though is a bonus point when you get one. As simple as that. Correctly predict a draw generally right, and you'll score 2, exact and you'll score 4*. (Any entries I consider to be motivated by exploiting the point system rather than genuine predicting will be disallowed.) *maybe 4 for an exact draw is too generous and the bonus point should only apply to general draws? :confused: |

On a sidenote, this week i will be working on my Premiership Prediction League table for the 4th year now, intending for it to be posted sometime on Saturday night / sunday morning. (Ps, i may or may not play this year I-X, im not going to have internet again in about a months time, so we'll see :/)

Re: [football] it's prediction time again. Season 3 League 1 starting Sat 06 August..
For some reason i didnt realise our 'big' pre-season friendly was against Espanyol, i guess its because i cant make it this year. I'll edit this post and fill in my scores when i have a few spare minutes. About time the football season started again :up:.

i think that 4 points for an exact draw will be far too much, although as an experiment 1-X will you enter into your spreadsheet another imaginary person who puts all 1-1 draws, just to see how many points they would score off the first league??? |
Re: [football] it's prediction time again. Season 3 League 1 starting Sat 06 August...
How come there aren't any jokers?

Have you noticed the new bonus for exact longshots? 3 + number of goals rather than a straight 6. It will be very rare that anyone scores well on this. Quote:
One other thing - we won't be having PPG league in it's usual form this year - final scores will be modified relative to the average so that people don't necessarily suffer a gradual decline simply for predicting more matches (as it's exceptional for PPG scores for a league to be >1, every league played was shaving a fraction off the rating, giving a new player joining late an unfair advantage). I probably haven't explained that very well. One other one other thing - the teams. I'm thinking of making the cup competitions as basic leagues rather than knockouts this year, but having a team-based knockout using the same predictions running alongside it. This is because those comps have been less interesting as they get nearer the final, when it should be the other way round. Opinions? |
Re: [football] it's prediction time again. Season 3 League 1 starting Sat 06 August...
maybe the cup ones could have more points available for the matches when it gets nearer the final...

The most likely result of a [J] game was a draw. With draws now scoring bonus points anyway, the incentive to predict draws for all [J] games (and doubling the points if correct) would be too great to resist. If the draw stuff doesn't work out, [J]'s may well come back. --- In the first post, I said I'd sort the teams out midweek. Well, I'm delaying this for now as many who played last season are leaving it late / not online / not going to be playing anymore. eg. I thought 'Team PSX' would continue as we were, but right now it's just 'Team X' :( list of people who were playing in May, but haven't entered this league... SYMM, Stew, MrL, sniborp, Kurashima, Phalon, Zharkov, Non.Human, Inferno, Apothos |
Re: [football] it's prediction time again. Season 3 League 1 starting Sat 06 August...
could you change the thread title to "LOOKING FOR NEW PLAYERS" ? might entice a few more people in.

I think we have 12 so far, 15-18 was the usual turnout last season but there is still roughly a day to go. I'll be surprised if people like SYMM, Kurashima and Zharkov don't play, as they are 'long-term' regulars. Others are less likely : Phalon hasn't been online since mid-July, Stew seems busy etc. |

actually it's worse than that. There is still one more error (the G column is currently g+b) and that means you have even less. :eek: (it was just something I forgot to paste to the other rows)
