Correct Result (Win, Loss, Draw) = 15pts
Exact Home Score = 15pts
Exact Away Score = 15pts
Difference between prediction and actual score = between 1 and 15pts

Ex.1: Actual 35:30, Predicted 35:30 = 45pts
Ex.2: Actual 35:30, Predicted 35:12 = 30pts
Ex.3: Actual 35:30, Predicted 35:20 = 35pts
Ex.4: Actual 35:30, Predicted 35:25 = 40pts

JP. Are you sure that your spreadsheet in working correctly ? I will explain..........

According to the rules, if a win is predicted correctly everyone should get at least 15pts for predicting the Win.

From what I can see you're actually managing to take points away from that when score predictions are incorrect to such an extent that instead of going from 15 points down to zero your're actually taking more points away from the 15 win points ? That's surely not correct ? I suspect it's a spreadsheet error ?

It’s working fine but thanks for raising a point which made me check.

It has two priorities the result and the closeness of the scores. If you’re way off on the scores then you will start to lose points. But, this would mean you are more than a total of 30 points adrift.

To encourage accurate predictions

Ill produce a table to show it, later tonight

Villagers12, my apologies and thank you for bringing to my attention the clalculations of points.

You were quite correct there was an error.

If you predicted over 15 points difference of a team's score it would start to take points away however if you predicted over 15pts "less" it did not take points away.

I have now corrected that and applied to the predictions. Luckily it affected very few of the scores but enough to move a few people around.

The latest prediction League has been published above

Once thank you

JP

Hi FC
'm pretty certain I submitted a prediction for the Chinnor game and have definitely submitted one for Ealing, both using the Jotform link but there is nothing showing in the league table for either. i.e. no tick in the boxes for the latter.
Any idea what's going wrong.

I’ll check it out this morning

Same here!

I’m hoping the runners at the front are tiring and I’m aiming on a late sure over the final miles. Marathons can sometimes be unpredictable…..

No worries guys, I keep every email I get from the system which also saves every submission for 90 days. All date stamped

I will search through them all and update you on findings.

I also post up a list of non submissions at least 24hrs prior to the game

Must have not submitted it! Thanks for checking

Good morning all.

We have had a couple of requests now for checking receipt of submissions, which on investigation turned out to be possible "Senior Moments"

With such a busy world it is so easy to forget or think you have done something but have not.

I set the grey cells thinking how it can be adopted into the system

One though was to use the scoring system used in F1 a few years back where only your best scores counted as everyone can have a bad day. For instance only 18 race results counted out of 20 races.

We could adopt this as below

There are 26 games in a season but only your top 23 results count to the title.
Giving everyone the opportunity to remove their 3 worst results .
Removing 3 missed predictions

It will need us to debate and then decide what the majority(90%) would like. I can setup a survey and vote to get the info.

Thoughts please folks?

What's the point ?

I don't think the scoring system is perfect but no point tampering at this point in the season.

Not this season but for next season from how this season has gone with a few missing the prediction.

Quite happy to keep it the same as this season, just a thought for debate.

Although one of those who missed a prediction, I'm happy if you leave it as it is. I notice that on entering my prediction this morning jotform still shows Ampthill V Worcester match, maybe I entered the missing prediction against the wrong match.

Just created for your knowledge a page showing the full season (ALL Games) displaying the league points each person has gained for each game and also displaying how many top points players have achieved(in Purple)

Available below and on the Mystic Meg Crystall ball image above.
