Prediction League 2014-15

[Steve McQueen]

Time to get started, league fixtures out & European draw tomorrow. Shamelessly editing Jimbo's post for last season.

 

The Points system is as follows

5pts for a correct score line prediction
(you say it will be 2-1 saints and the score is 2-1 saints)

or

2pts for a correct result prediction
(you say 2-1 saints but it is actually 3-0 saints)

--------

3pts for the first scorer

Up from 2 points last season (this applies to the first scorer in the match not the saints first scorer).

Own goals don't count, if the 1st goal is an og then the next goal will be given as scoring first. So it is possible to predict a 1-0 win & no scorer.

Another option is to say ‘ no scorer’ in your prediction and if it end 0-0 then you will get the first scorer points

 

1pt for anytime scorer

if your nominated players scores in the match but not the opening goal.
--------

3pts for a guess with in 50 of the attendance
2pts for a guess with in 250 of the attendance
1pt for a guess with in 500 of the attendance

(away games at Rangers and Celtic the boundries will be changed - using 500 and 1000 as the limits for 2pts and 1pt. 3pts is still within 50)

If you get the crowd number absolutely spot on, then you are very lucky and will get a bonus point....
--------
This gives a new maximum of 11pts for any particular match

--------
As ever, all predictions will be taken for 90mins and will not include extra time and pens.
It will include Scottish Cup, League Cup & Europa League matches as well as the League games
--------
Bonus points
To freshen things up a bit and make it a little bit different from other years, there will be double points on offer for European Games (ie Europa League and Champions League fixtures). So your week total will be calculated and doubled and added to your running league total. Dont miss out on these points!
Double points also on offer for cup semi finals and finals (Scottish cup, or league cups)....

League Table Predictions
1pt for each team in the correct position.
(ie if Saints finish 7th and they finish 7th you get a point, this gives 1pt for each team in the division.)
