WOTB Predictions League 2009/2010 - The Rules, The Format, The Scoring, The Money

The Divisions

NCFC's season is split into 3 GAME seasons

Season 1 - 16 games
Season 2 - 15 games
Season 3 - 15 games

All Wrathers are put into 1 division of up to 20 people (e.g. last year - 80 Wrathers - 5 divisions of 16 people)

Wrathers will be placed as follows:

Wrathers who played last year - fill the divisions from the top.

Wrathers who didnt play last year - random draw for the remaining places.

Three promotion, three relegation places in each Division, for each GAME season. Idea being, that (if this thing has legs for at least one more NCFC season) we will see who is truly a Wrath Master Predictor, as eveyone will have had sufficient chance to get promoted and relegated many times.

The Superleague

Simple format - all Wrathers in one big league together, that runs the length of NCFC's season. The Wrather withe the most GAME points at the end wins [nothing]

The Cash League

All the entrants within the Superleague will also have the chance to put their money where their mouth is, and pay an entry fee of ?10 for the whole NCFC season. This will add them to the Cash League, where the person with the highest amount of points after the whole NCFC season will win top prize, with runner up prizes also available.

The scoring

2 GAME points for a correct prediction

Lose 1 GAME point for every LEAGUE point you are away from our actual LEAGUE points total

For example?

Matthew Gibson, after 9 games, has correctly predicted the result of 4 games.

This gives him a total of 8 GAME points.

After 9 games, he predicted we would have 12 LEAGUE points.

We actually had 10 LEAGUE points, meaning Matthew loses two GAME points

So?

8 GAME points, less two GAME points for being two LEAGUE points away from our actual total

Matthew Gibson's total = 6 GAME points

Tie-breakers

In the event of a tie that affects either promotion, relegation or a cash prize, the tie-break procedures are as follows:

Person with highest number of correct predictions wins

then

Person who achieved their number of correct wins earliest in the GAME season

then

Random 'nearest the pin' question decided by me.
