Binky Griptite Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Forget the World Cup, it's now all about the 2014/15 Season... will Wednesday make it to the play-offs or is that a step too far this year? Who will will the league? Who will win the other leagues? Who will get relegated? If you think you know the answers then have a go on my Prediction Competition. It's simple, easy to complete and promises a year of entertainment and interest in games you wouldn't otherwise have any interest in. Any questions, plonk them on this thread. <script src="http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/forms/jsform/yH72qGr7xbcX9OsiU39wEfg" type="text/javascript"></script><div style="margin-top:18px;text-align:center"><div id='emf_advertisement'><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">Powered by</font><span style="position: relative; padding-left: 3px; bottom: -5px;"><img src="//app.emailmeform.com/images/footer-logo.png?RU1GLTAyLTE5LTEwNjA4" /></span><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">EMF </font><a style="text-decoration:none;" href="http://www.emailmeform.com/" target="_blank"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">Online Order Form</font></a></div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyowl Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Select a team to do well / badly? Who decides whether that team have done well / bad? Is there a judging panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binky Griptite Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 There is an ingenious way of determining if a team does well... there are goals at either end of the pitch... each team has to try and 'score' more than the other team... by that I mean kick, head or otherwise place the ball into the goal with any part of the body other than their hands/arms. If a team achieves that task more than the other team they are deemed to have done well and get 3pts, otherwise they get 1pt for doing it the same number of times (a 'drawn game') and 0pts if they are outscored. :) So to answer the question seriously you just want to pick the three teams who you think will get the most points across the season. Each league is however divided in accordance with where they finished last season so you have to choose a lower table team to do well rather than being able to pick last season's top three. Similarly the one team you pick to do badly should be the team who you expect to finish bottom of the table as however many points they score will be taken off your overall score... if you picked Wolves to do badly last season you would have ultimately given yourself a 103pt handicap as that's how many points they finished on.

Binky Griptite Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) This is last seasons Dream Team... chock full of the highest scorers from each segment and lowest scorers from each League... of course many of them won't be in the same League this year due to promotion / relegation so it's not necessarily always a case of just picking teams that did well / poorly last year.

Would it not be more self explanitary if you said team to finish highest? Tottenham finishing 3rd could be judged to have done well and Man City finishing 2nd could be poor by their new standards, so this done well / did poorly sitiation is a bit flawed.

Binky Griptite Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Fair point. Form amended... if anyone who has entered wishes to change their entry let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binky Griptite Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 When people enter can they state so on here, this will serve a triple purpose of helping me to associate entrants with their Owlstalk personas, advertising how massively popular it is and and will also mean the thread stays on the first page without simply being full of me bumping it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgund Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I prefer doing these predictions at Christmas time. However, I may ponder entry to this event. Looks fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binky Griptite Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 There have been an encouraging number of early entries so far, you can register your entry today and amend it at any point up to the big kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binky Griptite Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Entries still trickling in at the minute, there should be a good turnout ultimately but thats reliant on everyone whos interested following through with an entry. If you're fancying it PLEASE have a go, it's a fiver across 40 weeks so 12.5p per week (I don't accept a 40 week payment plan unfortunately).

Binky Griptite Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Now only just over two weeks to go before the big kick off. I'#ve been working on the reports spreadsheets so you can now not only track your own progress week by week but also track the points of your selected teams so you know who's letting you down or turned a corner. If anyone fancies a go and will be at the six-a-side tournament this weekend you can pay me in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
