SaintsChat Prediction League - 2018/19

[COYS]

Hi all

The famous SaintsChat Prediction League is back for another season, all welcome to play and just for fun.

Yellowfox's original rules are below and I'll do my best to update monthly.

Thanks
COYS

Pit your wits against fellow Saints fans in the Saintschat Prediction League.

The Prediction League covers matches in the National League South, FA Trophy and FA Cup Games.

A maximum of 5 points will be on offer.

1 points for correct outcome (Saints victory etc)
1 point for correct score of one of the teams
1 point for correct first Saints scorer (This includes "No-Scorer" if you predict that the Saints won't score)
1 point for being within 10 of the announced attendance.

If you were to predict Saints to win 3-1
Merson to score first
attendance 550

and the Saints won 3-1 with Merson scoring first and the crowd was 550.

You would receive one point for predicting the Saints to win
One point for the correct saints score line (3)
One point for the correct opposition score line (1)
One point for the correct goalscorer
One point for being within ten of the attendance (That's ten either side of your predicted figure)

Where a prediction includes more than 1 scorer ( e.g. 2-0 Smith & Jones ) the first players name will be taken as the 1st scorer.

I'll be updating the League Table at the start of each month, so you can keep up to date with your position in the league.

Cheers COYS for doing this - did you see my suggestion the other day?

An idea for future predictions or prediction leagues COYS - Have a deadline for predictions at midnight the night before a game. I was thinking of joining the league next season as I'm obviously a bit late now - but having a deadline before the teams are announced might level the playing field a bit!

Hi SaintsDad

Thanks for this, I think it's a good point and one that has occurred to me before. I've certainly made predictions on my mobile while at the ground, with the advantage of having seen the team sheets. I know this isn't an advantage others have.

On the other hand, I wouldn't want to lose the flexibility the current rules provide, or burden it with added complications - sometimes people don't have the chance to make their predictions until the Saturday morning as it is. Ultimately I think it's best to keep it as it is to give as many people as possible the chance to play.

However, if others have views on this or other aspects of the prediction league please do let me know - we could always implement something for the start of next season.

PS - never too late too enter, there's always the potential for an Istanbul-esque comeback in the prediction league.

Thanks COYS - maybe Saturday at noon would be better or something if people don't have the chance to make their predictions until Saturday morning but yeah, I'll leave it up to you and all the actual participants! Cheers
