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

[Brin]

Maybe we could have a cup competition to run along side of league so one poster is up against another and their score for that week determines the cup fixture result ,and then go on to next round.maybe just on the fixtures score rather than any bonus points….just a thought…can just imagine brin being Graham Kelly-esque…and fumbling around with his ball bag..😜

Heh clarkey, I fumble around my ball bag on a regular basis especially in the shower. Checking for anything abnormal etc.

Might give this a thought if it doesn't take too much time up but, who gets to pick which team?

Well you just play as your username like the league itself…should be straight forward as you are Calculating points anyway it’s just a case of adding them to the cup fixtures….

For example

Brin v camiller
Gru v millertop

Then just add the weeks points..

Brin 0v10 camiller

Gru 1v2 millertop…

cam and millertop go through to next round etc

You could probably do a cup round every month or so to drag it out…could probably start with a round of 32 depending on amount of entries for league you get..so you would get 5 rounds ie 32,16,8.4,2.

Just summat different to run along side league with bragging rights and grudge matches etc..

Clarkey, I get the scoring bit it's who gets to have the best team in the draw?

That would be really unfair on millertop with gru knowing more about football than he does.

I gave gru one point purely on the basis that even a broken clock is right twice a day.😜.

You could say the same regards cam and brin 😉

[Brin]

You could say the same regards cam and brin ��

......love it Cayton. At least I know enough to beat you in last season's PL and this years Euros comp without even using all the teams I should have

Are you looking forward to attempt at beating both CAM and me this coming season in the PL?

Fancy a small wager loser to pay either Bluebell Wood and Rotherham Hospice?

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.)

CTM, thanks for your kind words of encouragement on me running the PL. There may well be the odd glitch from myself along the way but, nothing that cannot be amended quickly before anyone goes into a meltdown . I managed it okay last season.

Regarding the Joker, this can be submitted on any given match day, barring the FA Cup comp, which I will come to shortly. It would be best if it is highlighted either in bold or put in CAPITALS at the top of an entry so it can be easily recognised.

FA Cup competition - Great idea from clarkey1974 and I'll definitely run it as explained by both clarkey and yourself. I am in total agreement on your points of: ''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''. Shouldn't be too difficult so long as we have sufficient entrants to see it to the end

I will probably give it another day or two before I put out the rules and regs for the forthcoming season, just in case anyone else has any further suggestions on everything. Cheers.

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…
