An all-new GAA Prediction League has been setup. Access it via the Prediction League link from the main menu on the left hand side. Sorry about the colour scheme clashes and everything but I didn’t have time yet to make it neat and tidy.
You need to register separately in the Prediction League (it only takes 30 seconds and there is no need for confirming emails or anything) and then you should be presented with the first week’s predictions.
I recommend that you go into “my profile” in the menu in the Prediction League and input a default score. This will be the scoreline that is automatically input for you in any game where you have not made a prediction by the time the game starts.
The format of the competition is as follows:
- every week you need to input the score for senior football and hurling matches that will take place
- there is no separation of goals and points so enter the score in total points only
- 5 points are awarded for a correct result (i.e. win, draw or loss: scoreline is irrelevant)
- 2 points are awarded for each team’s score that you have correct
Examples:
- you predict 10-8 and the score is 11-5 = you get 5 points for the correct result
- you predict 10-8 and the score is 10-9 = you get 5 points for the correct result and 2 points for one correct score
- you predict 10-8 and the score is 10-10 = you get 2 points for one correct score
- you predict 10-8 and the score is 9-10 = you get no points
- you predict 10-8 and the score is 10-8 = you get 9 points (5+2+2)
Predictions can be made and/or altered up to the throw-in time of each game.
The winner of the competition in September after both SFC and SHC have concluded will receive a free TFK hoodie of your choosing from the merchandise section. If I win the person who comes second can have the hoodie. The competition is only open to members of the website so if anyone else manages to register (e.g. a spammer) and wins then the site member with the most points will win the prize.
Any questions feel free to ask.
