Welcome to the annual Silverpaw Prediction League for 2014/15.
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 'rounds' 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.
Hopefully there'll still be a decent amount of interest in this game from players new and old! I had a quick look back and this will, unbelievably, be my 6th year of doing results. Anyone who's played in that time will know that I'm not the quickest in getting results up there, so, this year I'm looking for someone to do them with me on alternate weeks. Please let me know if you are able to help in this thread (with your predictions, perhaps) or through trust.
Right, with procedure out of the way, here are the first games of the new season to predict:
Man Utd - Swansea
Leicester - Everton
QPR - Hull
Stoke - Aston Villa
West Brom - Sunderland
West Ham - Tottenham
Arsenal - Crystal Palace
Liverpool - Southampton
Newcastle - Man City
Burnley - Chelsea
The first game kicks off at 12:45 on Saturday, so get your predictions in by then for them all to count! Please copy and paste the predictions above into your post, and type your predictions around the "-". As above, if you miss this deadline you can still post with predictions for the games that haven't kicked off.
