Greetings! Welcome back to the world’s favourite football prediction game.
Once again, I am pleased to announce that Predicting the Blues will be based upon the results of all matches played by Brighton and Hove Albion.
I received a very lucrative offer from a Russian billionaire, who wanted me to move the game to a luxury hotel complex in west London. But, at considerable cost, Mr Knight made a counter-offer to keep the game in Brighton. And I am pleased to say that I have decided to stay with the mighty Seagulls.
Poor old Dick hopes you will all understand that he now has no further funds available for anything else whatsoever. But, hey! - you’ve got the world’s favourite football prediction game.
As the excitement builds, in anticipation of the first round, it’s time for a PtB Fans’ Forum.
Are you happy with the Rules?
Do you want any changes to the Scoring System?
This is what applied last year:-
Predicting the correct outcome of the game (home win, draw or away win) - ONE point
Correctly predicting the number of goals the ALBION will score - ONE point
Correctly predicting the number of goals the Albion's OPPONENTS will score - ONE point
Correctly predicting ALL OF THE ABOVE (ie being right) - TWO BONUS POINTS
This means that there is a maximum of FIVE points to be scored for each game.
Players will be ranked in an overall league table, calculated by taking the AVERAGE SCORE they have achieved for the games they have entered.
A minimum of EIGHT entries during the season will be necessary if you are to figure in the final league table.
Once they have joined, any player who misses SIX GAMES IN A ROW will be expelled from the competition, but will be permitted to rejoin at any time, although earlier results will be expunged.
Predictions are invited for all league and cup games. The score at the end of play (including any extra time played) will be the score that counts. Goals scored in a penalty shoot-out do not count.
All predictions must be posted BEFORE the scheduled kick-off time. NSC Time will apply to the competition, not GMT or BST or any other system that applies in the real world. This is a virtual competition that is worthless and has no prizes for any winners.
Any suggested changes will be carefully considered. Then I will make the final decision
Over to you.
