Man of Honour
The first post in this thread contains the rules for this season's Silverpaw Prediction League, largely stolen from Howard's last year, as there are no big changes!
The purpose of the competition is to predict the results, including the scores, of all Premier League matches. Any forum member can compete. No registration is necessary; members can predict as often or as infrequently as they like, though regular prediction is more likely to result in higher scores. You can also join in at any time during the season.
Scoring is simply three points for an all correct prediction of a match's scoreline, and one point for a correct result but incorrect score.
As last year quite a few people managed to predict for every single game, we'll do the midweek games as well. 'Gameweeks' will largely be the same as the Premier League's own predictions game 'I Know the Score', for those that play it.
A separate thread will be started for each week of the competition, and predictions should be made in that thread. The thread will cover weekend games (generally Saturday to Monday) and any games scheduled for the following midweek. For any match, a prediction will be valid if the timestamp of the post is earlier (even by one minute) than the scheduled kick-off time.
Beware of editing your posts, as an entire post will be assumed to have the time of the last edit. If you wish to change predictions for later matches after the first match has kicked off, the safe way to do this is to make a separate post. Results and cumulative tables will be included in the appropriate prediction thread.
At holiday times e.g. now, and at Christmas & Easter etc. I'll try to create threads earlier, to give people who are going away the chance to predict. However, if a thread hasn't appeared, feel free to start one - just include the word 'Silverpaw' in the title (along with the round number and the dates of the matches if possible!).
Will edit this post later to include the game schedule.
Good luck and hope everyone enjoys it! Cheers!
