Snaddef and I would like to welcome you all to the new 2015/16 Football prediction league for PST, After such a successful games in recent seasons held by yours truly it was only fitting to do a new game for this upcoming season as well. Myself and Snaddef will be your main points of contact regarding any queries you might have.

 

 

Most already know how to play the game but for the new people that wish to participate, Its simple. I'll post fixtures from the season that you have to guess the score and outcome and you'll receive points based on the real life outcome of said games.

 

The basis of the scoring is:

 

3 points for a correct score and winner

1 point for just a correct winner

***GOAL SCORER*** You're required to pick a goalscorer from the highlighted game for an additional 3 points.

Doubler Which ever game you highlight will be worth double points (Can not be the same as a Goal Scorer game unless told different ), If you get your Doubler wrong with an incorrect score or Winner then you'll receive -3 points for this game only.

 

We will continue to use the Goal Scorer and Doubler method

 

You will highlight the chosen double game by highlighting that fixture in red colouring only.

I'm requesting you highlight your goal scorer in green also please.

 

For example:

 

Stoke City 1 - 0 Aston Villa

Liverpool 2 - 0 Manchester United

Swansea 1 - 1 Cardiff City **Whittingham**

 

In the example above, If Liverpool win 1-0 then you'll receive 2 points due to you doubling your correct result only.

If Liverpool win 2-0 you'll receive a maximum of 6 points.

If Manchester United win or draw then you'll lose -3 points.

 

Simple really ;)

 

 

Please take a few seconds to read the rules

 

***MUST READ***

 

1. For every Goal scorer you get 3 points as standard, for every additional goal they get in that game they will receive a further 1 point

2. As ever it is mandatory to predict at least 1 doubler from the group of fixture's provided, You will now have the ability to use up to an additional 1 game as a doubler thus allowing you to take a little risk if your lagging behind on points. But be warned if you get it wrong they will be treated the same as a normal failed doubler therefore -3 points per wrong game. This means the balls more in your court and giving you far more power

 

Rules

 

1. Don't edit any posts that contain predictions after the opening game starts of that game week.

2. You can change predictions at any time before , but please do it in a new post reason being all predictions will be loaded to a spreadsheet so any changes might be missed, and please keep this practice to a minimum to save on clutter.

3. You have to have at least 100 posts to take part. This isn't discriminating against new members or anything like that, its just that people with only a handful of posts are more likely to sign up and then never visit to the thread again.

4. Post your predictions in normal colouring with the exception of your doubler & goal scorer games as outlined earlier, this makes it easier to spot posts while skimming through the thread.

5. Copy and paste the fixture list I post, then fill in your scores, this makes the scores way easier to add up.

6. If you miss the deadline for the first fixtures in a round, you can still predict the subsequent ones, so long as the matches haven't started. However i dont want seperate posts for each day like 1 post for Saturday and another for Sunday, Make 1 post and keep to that post please.

7.**NEW** When making your selections please take note there will be NO changes to any Score's/Goal scorers/Doublers after the first game has kicked off for that game week, Even if the game isn't due to kick off either late in the day or even a separate day for example the Sunday or the Monday, The same for injuries to. It's a gamble and that's the way i would like it to remain.

This is to enable all players to be on an even keel as soon as the games are posted, Some people aren't as active during the week as most players but i do think its a tad unfair asking them to log in right before any game to see if there player is playing or not.

8.**NEW** After the ending of the previous game people asked for a slight change in the ruling of missed games, with that in mind me and Snaddef have both agreed a -3 point penalty will apply (i.e. failed doubler)

If you fail to nominate a doubler e.g.

1. None nominated with predictions / update posts prior to first game starting in round starting

2. If you submit a prediction late and cannot nominate a valid doubler e.g. only 1 match available to predict and it is a goal score match.

3. if you nominate an invalid match as a doubler (e.g. goal scorer match)

9. **NEW**Invalid entries will also be subject to -3 point penalty e.g. 5 doubles nominated when only 4 are allow.

In the case of to many doublers nominated- all doublers will be cancelled and it will be taken as if no doubler was nominated

10. **NEW** When making predicitions it can be easy to mix up exactly what your going for with the goal scorer and doubler games, with this in mind as hihglighted in previous games we WILL NOT be excepting 0-0 games WITH a goal scorer, This to me is just plain jane stupid especialy if you mean it :confused: Thats the same rule for 0-1's but a goal scorer from the team that scores no goal in your predicition and so forth.

11.**NEW**

Ultimately we'd like all fixtures to be posted within the same post - We understand at times this can be not possible. But in the interest of fairness we will not be accepting any singular game posts for an early game. If your able to post for the first game we expect the remainder of the games to be predicted within the same post or you risk the games being void for that game week.

 

You will not be hit with a -3 penalty if you miss part of the round but can and do nominate at least 1 valid doubler in the round (unless of course your double fails :D).

 

We understand all rules might not be received well but it we don't want to have a situation where it may be an advantage not to predict in a round.

 

 

We (or Mrs. Bic) reserve the right to nominate (a) match(es) as mandatory doublers in any given round (prior to round starting of course).

 

If there are any errors in adding up scores or whatever, then just PM either myself or Snaddef to get it sorted straight away - ALWAYS double check your scores, mistakes are quite rare but do happen.

 

 

***PLEASE NOTE***

 

There is always room for additional rules if people feel the need to add one then thats a valid addition, I wouldnt want anyone to think were changing rules half way through games ;)

About entrants:

 

This game can be very demanding from a management point of view, having to cypher everyone's predictions and get all points tally'd. Due to this we have to restrict entry's to keep it to a realistic manageable amount.

Everyone that stayed through the last seasons game to the end will all received personal invitations to sign-up again. They get first choice.

If i missed anyone out i apologize as i'm going from last seasons league table. Last season people signed up but just stopped predicting for whatever reason. I understand this can happen again and i fully expect it.
