Steve McQueen Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 European draw isnt long & we'll launch the day the draw is made. Dont see many changes but open to any suggestions. Need to be fairly simple so we can work out easily. Would like more people to take part, any suggestions how too please. Quote
sleepless Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 First suggestion would be to do it for the 17/18 season. The 16/17 season would be too easy... Second suggestion - extra point for the worst prediction of the week. That's the only way I have a chance. Other than that I think it works very well as it is. Abernethy Saint 1 Quote
AthensSaint Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 10 bonus points for exact score. Its sore it should be recognised. Quote
chips Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 Big point bonus for getting crowd spot on, very very rare occurrence and should be recognised PanamaSaint 1 Quote
Edstar101 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 Big point bonus for getting crowd spot on, very very rare occurrence and should be recognised I have the opposite opinion that the points for crowd are stupid, especially as we know so many teams now falsify their actual attendance to include ST holders whether there or not Quote

I feel it is far from ¨stupid¨ but could be fine tuned. Quote
Edstar101 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 So what is your alternative suggestion ? I feel it is far from ¨stupid¨ but could be fine tuned. How about the minute in which the first goal will be scored, and do away with the crowd points Quote
sleepless Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 No, don't do away with the crowd points. That definitely is where the majority of my points come from... Quote
Abernethy Saint Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 A few other versions of this only give 3-2-1 points for the nearest crowd guesses. I think that would be more challenging and fun. Frankly, there's an awful lot of Saints home games where you'd have to try pretty hard not to automatically get crowd points, which devalues the much harder points from the scores/scorers.

Edstar101 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Yeah, 3pts for closest, 2pts for next closest and 1pt for third closest.....with a 5pt bonus if bang on Sounds good to me (and would be less work for Lightning) Edited June 12, 2017 by Edstar101 Quote
Steve McQueen Posted June 18, 2017 Author Report Posted June 18, 2017 Thanks for the feedback. I know crowd points can be a point of contention. The 3-2-1 system would actually be a little more complicated if anything. What i'll do is make it 5 points if spot on, 3 points for the person who is closest, 2 points for anyone else within 50, 1 point for within 250. This will make it quite a bit harder but still reward a decent prediction. sleepless, Abernethy Saint, sixties saintee and 2 others 5 Quote
