As you all know, the Prediction League will be drawing to a close in the next few
weeks as the 07/08 season is set to end.

I intend to have the league run for the whole of the 08/09 season and this thread
is to sort out what things members wish to propose I include next season, and
what should be left out.

At the moment, next seasons league will consist of the following;

• A new set of rules will be drawn up
• There will be a first and second division. The first division will consist of the top
  ten members at the end of this seasons league and from 11 down will be the
  second division along with any members who join next year
• There will be a highest scorer vCash prize for each division, and the winnings
  will reamin the same for everything. (See rules)
• Each round will have a set number of games which stands at 5
• There will be 38 Rounds in total (One for each round of Prem games. This may
  stretch to 40 due to fixture changes during the season)
• The games will come from the Barclays Premier League ONLY
• If a member predicts all 5 games exactly, in other words score 50 points, a
  bonus 50 points will be added, making a score of 100
• A new banner comp will be set up for members to submit an attempted
  banner for the 1st and 2nd divisions. They will go where the current one is
  now. Rules of this will be posted in due course.
• Reminders will be PM'd to every member who participates in the rounds
  and this will inform them of the next round along with the deadline for entries
• An added post will be added to show the highest scorer(s) of each round
  

The proposals above are not yet confirmed, but just ideas which at the moment
are the most likely to be integrated next season.

They can be altered, and others added to.

If you have another idea, or have a problem with the ones above, don't hesitate
to post, as its you who will be competing in it. Remember, any proposals are
welcome, and will be considered although, there's no guarantee that yours will be
accepted. Any which have passed the public views will be posted above, as I'll
edit it where necessary.

As ideas are posted, please clearly state above it, "IDEA", and then
comments can be made on it.

Thanks,
Keano!

IDEA
midweek champions league games arent in the league(or might be, up to you), but run a cup alongside it so you have to members against each other like the FA cup etc

Hmm.......so you mean,

make a draw for members and each member is pitted against
eachother and they play on to a quarter, semi, final.....etc?


Not so sure, but' we'll see!

What do the rest think?

[SolskjaertheLegend]

I was thinking about saying a cup tourny aswel.

Like randomly draw members together and whoever gets the highest score that round goes through.

Few things to consider though.
1)How would we decide who goes through if both members got the same score?
2)Would the scores for the round, the cup is in play be added to members league scores/total aswel?
3)If the amount of members entering the cup are odd what should we do?



If this were to go ahead, id be happy to help out with the cup

Developing the ideas of a Cup style running along with the league.

I have had a thought over it and am in agreement with it.

To answer the above questions;

1)How would we decide who goes through if both members got the same score?
If scores were level, the progressor would be decided on which got the most exact results right
and the if they were still level, decide by who is positioned higher in the league table at that time

2)Would the scores for the round, the cup is in play be added to members league scores/total aswel?
No

3)If the amount of members entering the cup are odd what should we do?
I will drop out.

• I was thinking, the cup will run on a basis of Coca Cola Championship games
  only. 5 games in each round with each member pitted against each other.
  
• Each member wishing to partake will have to post their entries in a specified
  thread closer to the start of the season
  
• I will print each members name and draw them from a hat. I will do this
  honestly and post the rounds. I have to ask you to trust me to draw the rounds.

Also, this is only speculation......nothing has been decided yet!

This idea has hit a wall. Unlikely at the moment. Would take a lot of work to intergrate

[burnzy1987]
