create a new account for the prediction league as it's separate from the TEF login.

when you log in you should be able to predict a score for the Col U game.

I can't even remember the scoring, I'll dig it out later.

ideally all the fixtures would be there but I forgot and not had chance to update. will do so over the next week
-------
1 point correct home score
1 point correct away score
2 points correct result
2 extra points correct scores home & away

so 6 points max

good question.. thought it was 5 minutes before -  but the server clock seems screwed again so I'll have to fix that.

I think "game time" now matches real time. if anyone sees it doesn't pop a message here


Title: Re: Prediction League 23/24
Post by: Batch on Friday, August 4, 2023, 20:00:12
DMC, if you don't see the option to predict after logging in I may need to invite you to the league.

stick your username here or DM and I'll take a look

Title: Re: Prediction League 23/24

You can also amend your prediction but no idea if it's up to an hour before kick off.

Apologies batch, my first year doing it, wasn't sure if it had been updated, didn't realise you manually do it, fuck that, knock it on the head 🙂


Title: Re: Prediction League 23/24
Post by: Batch on Thursday, October 5, 2023, 08:12:25
Was only messing Mex, but it is manual, including the fixture entry - that's the worst. Results are easy, I just forget!

Every year I promise myself to try and automate it. Every year I can't be fooked.


Title: Re: Prediction League 23/24
Post by: Nemo on Thursday, October 5, 2023, 08:13:27
Disappointed to get off the mark - I predicted a loss first game, and kept doing it while we were unbeaten as a suspicion. Now have a decision to make about whether I keep going!


Title: Re: Prediction League 23/24
Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, October 5, 2023, 08:35:12
I've been having a stinker in this - got the Notts score spot on which has catapulted me top 10. Let's just say it's a lot harder predicting Swindon this season under Flynn.

I'll try my best not too  :clap: Given the "goal difference" is quite heavily in your favour, think that you just need either the right goals for one of the sides or the correct result for the title to be yours.

Excellent late run Batch congratulations.

This was the first season that I participated and I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to go again even if we did have our worst ever season. Also fair play to Lemis, Bob Orange, Cookie etc for keeping it interesting.

Thanks for keeping the competition going and can’t wait for next seasons fixtures to come out.

I think it helps I'm pessimistic and it's been a poor season. That said town have been  depressingly predictable for a long time. So it comes down to luck of the score in defeat.

Last prediction was a 3-1 win to town for the record

Thanks for arranging Batch, a really enjoyable Prediction league year again. Like you, I tend to do better when Swindon are shit as I tend to predict with my head over my heart. For you to win with a points gap and 3 less predicted games shows you deserved your win.

Well done to Lemis also for runners up. Have to also give a shout out to Jimmy who led the table for ages but just faded at the last, a great effort Jim.
