Topic: RAWK Premier League Predictions Thread 2023/24 - Chat, scores, league tables

[Wabaloolah]

New guy at the helm, so please bear with me! Hopefully we can make this work!


Welcome back to the regulars, and welcome to the game to the new entrants. The rules have not changed from last season. If anyone wants to suggest any additions to the rules, or suggestions for improvements to the game, feel free to stick your ideas in here.


THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR CHAT, TABLES, AND UPDATES. If you have not yet confirmed your participation, please do so here

https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=354506.0


So, as always, we will have 2 head to head leagues, the Premiership and Championship consisting of 20 players, and League 1 is the rest.


I don't think I need to explain the scoring system in detail but for the new players basically, you post your score predictions for the Premier League fixtures on a weekly basis.


You score points based on your predictions.


e.g.


Liverpool v Crystal Palace


You predict Liverpool 3 - 0 Crystal Palace.


* The match ends 3-0. You earn 3 points for predicting a correct score.


* The match ends 2-0. You earn 1 point for predicting the correct result, in this case a Liverpool win.


* The match ends 1-1 or 0-1. You earn no points as you didn't predict a correct score or result.


Head to head format:


New players will not be concerned with this as it is for PL and Championship players.


You will play one of your league opponents each week and will play each other league opponent twice.


If you outscore your opponent based on your total prediction points versus theirs, you win the tie and earn 3 pts for the win. If you and your opponent end up on equal points, you get 1 point for drawing the 'match' and obviously if your opponent outscores you, you lose the tie and earn nothing.


The full fixture list will be available to view after kick off in the first game of the season, which is 8pm Friday 5th August. At the time of posting, there are still quite a few players yet to confirm participation. I will generate the fixtures once I know who has confirmed they will be taking part.
PARTICIPATION MUST BE CONFIRMED PRIOR TO THE KICK OFF IN THIS GAME OR YOU WILL BE DEMOTED TO LEAGUE 1, AND A LEAGUE ONE OR CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYER THAT HAS CONFIRMED PARTICIPATION TAKING YOUR PLACE


PENALTIES:


Predictions must be made in 1 post. You cannot post your prediction for the 12:30 game at 12:29, then post the remainder of the weekends predictions after the first game has kicked off. This will result in you scoring 0 for the early kick off, and incur the relevant penalty for a late post.


All predictions must be posted before the kick-off deadline which is always the kick-off time of the earliest game in any given round, some of which will be on a Friday night.


If you miss the posting deadline, and post late, you may only earn points for any matches which have not yet kicked off on the day you post or those following. If you miss the posting deadline, the penalty will be an automatic win for your opponent in your head to head fixture.
For League 1 players, as you have no head to head fixtures, you will receive a 3 point penalty for a late post. If you fail to score 3 in the round as a result of your late post, you will be scored 0 for that round.


Prediction posts edited after the kick-off time in that round will render any predictions up to the time of the post void, and incur the penalties as above.


A late post is regarded as after the kick off in the first game of the round. If the kick off is scheduled for 7:45 on Friday, your post MUST be made no later than 7:44:59, if KO is 12:30 on Saturday, your post should be no later than 12:29:59. There will be no exceptions to this, and the cut off time is strict. If you post at 7:45:00, your post is late.


If you mistakenly post twice, I will take your second post as your entry as long as this is not after the deadline. If you post a second post after the deadline, I will take your first post as your entry and the late post will be disregarded.


I will confirm the full entry list in due course.


Finally as per last season, please keep all chat / discussion in this thread. This thread will be used for scoring updates and news etc.
Please only post prediction posts in the other thread which will be opened next week.


Any queries or suggestions please post below.


Cheers folks and good luck

Boss 

[Wabaloolah]

Week 1 now  open, apologies for the delay, will try and keep on top of things

https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=354565.0

[BoRed]

Thanks, Wabaloolah, best of luck running this.

I see you've opened both threads with the same post, including

THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR CHAT, TABLES, AND UPDATES.

On the other thread it should probably say it's only for predictions instead.

[Thush]

Nice one. Good luck running it, Wabaloolah.

[Prof]

Nice one. Good luck running it, Wabaloolah.

Big thanks from me for running it too.  Good luck dealing with this lot.

[KeegansPerm]

Old big ears, happy days. 

Cheers for all the graft over the years Barney. 

[SvenJohansen]

Is it possible to edit a scoreline or 2 today before the season kicks off this evening?

[Barneylfc∗]

Is it possible to edit a scoreline or 2 today before the season kicks off this evening?

Yes mate, just as long as any edits are done prior to kick off in the first game of the gameweek.

Any edits after that will incur penalties.

So for example if you edited your post at 15:00:01 tomorrow, you would score 0 for the game tonight, the 12:30 kick off, and all 3pm kick offs. You would only be eligible for points in the 5:30 kick off and Sunday games.
As you are playing in the Championship this season, your scheduled opponent will also automatically be awarded the head to head points (assuming they post on time and no late edits)

Grand thanks I’ll edit today so

[WillG.LFC]

Bah missed last night's game already

[Barneylfc∗]

Only 34 entires from 40 players 

[Crosby Nick]

Only 34 entires from 40 players 

Friday night games are a ticket though. I only remembered about an hour before kick off.

[The G in Gerrard]

Only 34 entires from 40 players 

I thought that was decent

[BoRed]

The full fixture list will be available to view after kick off in the first game of the season, which is 8pm Friday 5th August.

You better hurry up with these if you want to avoid the accusations of picking an easy opponent for yourself.

LEAGUE ONE

Chris Sutton



If Wbaloolah is going to stick to the same rules I would apply, these will be the divisions for the season ahead.
No idea if Black Bull Nova, Skittle or RobbieRedman made predictions, so if they have it's then up to Wabaloolah to decide.
League One would be a bit shit with only Chris Sutton, but I'd be keeping him around to bump up to the Championship if any of the players dropped out in the first couple of weeks.

[Anthony]

Yay! Promotion in my first week!  By September I'm winning the Champions League Baby!

[Keita Success]

Somehow got my results mixed up and guessed 4-0 to Burnley instead of City... Quality start.

[Anthony]

When does week 2 open?

Thankyou!

Stupid ass Friday games

[Crosby Nick]

Stupid ass Friday games

Yep. Even if I saw Forest v Sheff Utd was on I wouldn’t automatically think it was a Premier League game.

[Wabaloolah]

Week 3 is now open

https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=354565.new#new

[BoRed]

Week 3 is now open

Going smoothly so far.

Just a thought, might be less work for you if you abolished the head-to-heads and simply used the prediction points alone.

yes that's not a bad idea, I'll have a look tomorrow, should have a chance sometime during the afternoon 🤞

[Wabaloolah]

I've decided to scrap the head to heads, the spreadsheet appears to be broken and I can't figure it out, wrong scores being updated in the League Table

We'll base the new table on the cumulative scores for each division

I'll post Week 1s scores shortly

[Wabaloolah]

Week 1 Scores


All now within one spreadsheet, the link is below, let me know if there are any issues opening it

Highlights

Keegans Perm leads the way in the Premier League with 13, no shows from Skittle and Black Bull Nova
Ollyfrom.TV and Salger lead in the Championship with 14, no shows from Robbie Redman and Mushi007

Highlights

Premier League
A Premier League high score of 11 means that Keegans Perm has a 5 point lead after week 2

Same no shows as last week with Bryanod also failing to post this week in the Premier League

[Emerald Red]

Think I scored 9 this week (not 7) ... any chance of a recount, cheers.

How come I'm in the Championship? I was pushed up because of the non-entries, wasn't I?

[Barneylfc∗]

Can you check mine too, think I got 11 in week 1

And 8 in week 2
