Predictions League : Mon Jan 30, 2017 5:35 pm  

Is anyone intending to run one this year?

I might be willing to take it on, if no one else is mug enough to do it. But if someone else wants to run with it, then please be my guest

Put me down for:
Bulls loss by 80 each week.

Sadly with a new job I can't really run it this year. I'll happily share the rules, spreadsheets such as they are with anyone who wants the gig.

Fair enough PP, thanks for what you've done in previous years

I'll take it on (unless anyone else put their hand up immediately, which given the tumbleweed on this thread seems unlikely). I'll make a post later to launch it

PP - could you message me with the rules please? Or post them on there. Either is fine

What a fine chap you are. Here are the complex rules that the super talented bullinenemyland put together and that I employed last year:

Regular Season:

Correctly predict winning side - 1pt
Correctly predict winning side and the winning margin - 5pts
Correctly predict a draw - 10pts
Correctly predict every game in round - Double points awarded (based on your basic weekly score)
Top weekly points scorer will also get a bonus 5pts. If there is a draw, a tiebreaker will be used to decide who wins.

The top 12 at the end of the regular season go on to predict the super 8 fixtures.

Playoffs:

Week One
G1 - 1st vs 4th
G2 - 2nd vs 3rd
G3 - 5th vs 12th (Loser eliminated)
G4 - 6th vs 11th (Loser eliminated)
G5 - 7th vs 10th (Loser eliminated)
G6 - 8th vs 9th (Loser eliminated)

Week Two
G7 - Winner G1 vs Lowest placed winner of G3-G6
G8 - Winner G2 vs 2nd Lowest placed winner of G3-G6
G9 - Loser G2 vs 3rd Lowest placed winner of G3-G6
G10 - Loser G1 vs 4th Lowest placed winner of G3-G6

Week Three - SEMI FINALS
G11 - Winner G7 vs Winner G9
G12 - Winner G8 vs Winner G10

Week Four - GRAND FINAL
G13 - Winner G11 vs Winner G12

I should also say that on two occasions the winner was offered a monetary prize for a charity of their choice, and yet mysteriously never accepted it and disappeared. Someone is bumping off the winners.....

Crack on Paul, there's a good boy. I'm impatient.

Thanks for that PP.

Nerd that I am, I've been doing a little research into similar predications leagues, and will be introducing one or two new feature but the basics will stay pretty much the same

New thread coming imminently...
