WOTB Predictions League 2011/2012 - get your predictions in now!

It's happening again...

Open to all.

Please predict at least the Season 1 fixtures by 12 midday, 13th August.

You can also submit season 2 and 3 fixtures if you do so wish - this year I will keep a record of people's original predictions and produce an alternative table for those that are interested.

ANOTHER CHANGE FOR THIS YEAR - Correct predictions will now be rewarded with 5 points, instead of 2. This should hopefully reward those who predict correctly over those who get close to our overall points total over a period of games.

The Divisions

NCFC's season is split into 3 GAME seasons

Season 1 - 13 games
Season 2 - 13 games
Season 3 - 12 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, in the order that they finished in the last NCFC season.

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 with the most GAME points at the end is crowned the WOTB Predictions League 2011 Champion

The Scoring

5 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 20 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:

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

Matthew Gibson's total = 18 GAME points

Tie-breakers

In the event of a tie that affects either promotion or relegation, 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

Person who went ahead with correct predictions first in the GAME season

then

Random 'nearest the pin' question decided by me.
