Prediction League - New Season with new ideas for points scoring.

[clarkey1974]

The 21/22 rules sound good to me, Brin. Thank you as always for steering this through.

One point of clarification. What is the deadline for submitting a Joker? Doesn’t seem unreasonable to me that you can just notify at the time you put in your choices for any given match day.

I quite like the idea of a knock-out cup competition running in parallel while the FA cup is on. It doesn’t involve choosing actual teams since the outcome of any ‘match’ is simply the the points actually scored in the regular match day competition that day by the two players who have been pitted against each other. (Any joker score and bonus points would have to be excluded and we would need to have some deciding factor in the rare event of both contestants having the same number of points that week. Probably a ‘replay’ would work where the scores of the next match day results are used.)

Yes you have got the idea ct.you play as yourself ...on points being level we have the goals totals to fall back on if drawing in a closest to pin if it’s drawn or as you say a replay is just as good solution..

The only reason I said it should run parallel with league is as you get down the rounds it would involve fewer and fewer posters which might slow down the league .but yes it could work at cup weekends for first few rounds anyway..it’s up to brin really it was just an idea and how we go about is open…

clarkey1974, great idea all round and thanks for this . I hope Cayton doesn't get knocked out in the first round, I don't think he could take it.
