Crystal Ball Ongoing Discussion Thread: 2015/16

jeudi 6 août 2015

A bit late, but after some discussion the team from last season are delighted to announce we will be running this again throughout the season. One issue that concerned us, that we would like to improve, is the number of posts we get on the thread dropped quite a bit last year. Please bear that in mind, and contribute comments on a regular basis. It's quite a lonely thread if only the organisers post on it!

To anyone new to this, it's all very simple. Basically each week someone will start a new thread (you don't need to wait for us to do so; feel free to start your own) in which you are asked to predict the score of the forthcoming Palace match. Simply enter your prediction on the thread - the score, the scorers, and the attendance. Scoring is as follows:

1. You get 3 points for correctly predicting the score of each match.
2. You get 1 point if you predict the correct result, but get the score wrong.
3. If you correctly predict the score, you will also get 1 point for each goalscorer you correctly predict. (To retain parity with anyone who correctly predicts a 0-0 draw, we will award a total of 4 points for that correct prediction).
4. You get 2 points if you are the closest to predicting the attendance figure. Additionally, everyone whose prediction is within 100 gets 1 point (therefore 3 points if you were closest and within 100). If you are within 101-200 you will get a bonus point. (A bonus point only counts at the end of the season in the event of a tie).

Please note the latest allowable time to post predictions is a minute prior to kick-off time. However, for an attendance punt or the scorers (revised rule since last season) to be valid, the post must be made at least an hour before the kick off.

In addition to the match threads, we also have 4 extra points-scoring threads during the season. There are now threads up and running for two of these

Good luck to everyone who takes part. We very much welcome lots of banter throughout the season on this thread, so please do keep posting comments. And let's hope the eventual winner is as deserving as last season
