Welcome to the annual Silverpaw Prediction League for 2013/14.
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.
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, in line with the 'gameweeks' laid out by the Premier League website. 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.
Hope participants new and old will play again this year. I can virtually guarantee that my win last season will not be repeated, but Shamikebab, Nossmayo and Cosimo will be forces to be reckoned with if they join us! To kick things off (pun intended), here are the fixtures for Round 1.
Liverpool - Stoke
Arsenal - Aston Villa
Norwich - Everton
Sunderland - Fulham
West Brom - Southampton
West Ham - Cardiff
Swansea - Man Utd
Crystal Palace - Tottenham
Chelsea - Hull
Man City - Newcastle
Chelsea - Aston Villa
Please copy and paste the predictions above into your post, and type your predictions around the "-". The first game kicks off at 12:45 on Saturday 17th August, so get your predictions in by then for them all to count. As above, if you miss this deadline you can still post with predictions for the games that haven't kicked off!
