Man of Honour
Welcome to the annual Silverpaw Prediction League for 2015/16.
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.
BaZ87 did amazing work last year helping me with results. You happy to do alternate weeks (ish) again this year?
Here are the first games of the new season to predict:
Man Utd - Spurs
Bournemouth - Aston Villa
Everton - Watford
Leicester - Sunderland
Norwich - Crystal Palace
Chelsea - Swansea
Arsenal - West Ham
Newcastle - Southampton
Stoke - Liverpool
West Brom - Man City
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.
The top 3 players last year were longtime players BaZ87, The Pat and el dazza. Hopefully some new blood will fancy trying to beat them this year!
