pezza70 Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I think it is working well and vote we keep it as is. are we going to have one for the world cup, maybe just scorers and first goals as crowd predictions may be a bit hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUZZ Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 what about time of 1st goal. extra 2 points for that and 1 point if a minute outside of it. nil nil games get point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HertsSaintee Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 ...or name of first player to be carded? Say Gunther every week and it's easy points. Seriously, no changes are needed. The current format works well, and it's nice and simple. Well done Jimbo. Herts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chansey Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Yeah, i would agree to keep the format, simple is best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunblanemike Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 yes, keep it as it is. So Rory, what are you saying? simple is best but we all know Dev is best, so Dev = simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chansey Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 yes, keep it as it is. So Rory, what are you saying? simple is best but we all know Dev is best, so Dev = simple. I wouldn't say anything of the sort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 yes, keep it as it is. So Rory, what are you saying? simple is best but we all know Dev is best, so Dev = simple. Do you want to be banned?! I wouldn't say anything of the sort! Good lad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunblanemike Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Do you want to be banned?! Given the time it's taken you to reply I would say the equation is proven!! Oh yes - do ban me, I can have my friday afternoons back - and you may even get to win the preddie league! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 What about adding the other four games in the division providing bonus points giving 1 pt for a correct result and 2 pts for a correct score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 yeah i had thought about trying something like that. it starts getting a bit complicated if games are postponed for weather internationals etc and so games dont all happen at the same time. if anyone else feels strongly then we can give it a try and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 yeah i had thought about trying something like that. it starts getting a bit complicated if games are postponed for weather internationals etc and so games dont all happen at the same time. if anyone else feels strongly then we can give it a try and see Yeah I thought about that Jimbo. To keep it simple just ignore the games that did not actually get played and incluse only those that did even although they are to be rescheduled to midweek they are void. This helps you only concentrate on the Saturday games. It means that if the Saints game is off there are still a few points there. However I agree it all depends on the level of work involved for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I remember we used to predict on all games in the old prediction league on the saintees mailing list. Im happy to go with the flow on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 ok we can give that a go, I personally dont want to make it too complicated as i think one of the positives of the current set up is that its quite simple. may be only do it for matches on saturdays concurrent with saints games??

Ronaldo Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Fair enough give it a go buti If it's getting like hard work just drop it like a ton of bricks. Of course it may depend on how many enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 That website we did the world cup prediction league has a division 1 tipping comp on there, I won the pick the winners there last year, let them do all the work On the old mailing it used to be: 3 pts for a correct prediction 2 pts for a correct goal difference (eg you predict 2 - 0, and it ends up 3-1, 4-2 etc) 1 pt for a correct winner but not the score or goal margin Maybe we could keep the format how it is for the saints matches and then just do a predict the winner on the other games as a home win, away win or a draw?

Ronaldo Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Margins are a good idea but you're right that's a big job for Jimbo on his weekend off and only something like 'Top Tippers' have the resources (programme, DB and staff for that). I think correct scores wouldn't be too difficult to spot but I'm only imagining things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 All we just do the games each saturday and dont do scorers or crowds etc for the saintees game Or we leave it as is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 its a tempting idea but i think from a logistics point of view, it may get rather complicated with all the other games. so for this season i will just keep it as it is. thanks for the suggestions though and keep them coming.
