stevegrant Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 If you've not already seen it and joined up, the SaintsWeb Prediction League will be running again this season. The idea is simple, predict the score for every Saints game and gain points depending on how accurate your predictions are. You get 10 points for each perfect prediction (i.e. the score and the result), or 5 if you get the right result (e.g. win, lose or draw) but not the right score. If you've not got the full 10 points, you can also get a bonus point for correctly predicting either team's score. Examples: Saints v Southend last season, finished 3-1 to Saints. User 1 predicts 3-1 Saints win - scores 10 points User 2 predicts 3-0 Saints win - scores 6 points, 5 for the correct result, 1 for predicting Saints scoring 3 User 3 predicts 2-0 Saints win - scores 5 points User 4 predicts 1-1 draw - scores 1 point for predicting Southend scoring 1 User 5 predicts 2-0 Southend win - scores 0 points You can find the Prediction League by clicking the menu option at the top of the page (next to the highlighted "Forum" option), then go to "My Predictions" to start entering your scores. You can amend your predictions right up until kickoff in each game. When predicting, the Saints score is always first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_stevo Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 Is the saints score always first? Or doed it depend on home or away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 2 August, 2010 Author Share Posted 2 August, 2010 Is the saints score always first? Or doed it depend on home or away? Saints score is always first. Important to note for cup games that may go to extra time and/or penalties, the score is the score at the end of playing time, either 90 minutes or 120 minutes where applicable. For example, the Norwich and Torquay JPT games last season would go down as 2-2, not any sort of Saints win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_saints Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 Saints score is always first. . I think you should put that on the main prediction page. I automatically assumed it was home team first anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_stevo Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 I think you should put that on the main prediction page. I automatically assumed it was home team first anyway...

Smirking_Saint Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 Taking it statistically. 3 of the S_S' missed that point, i would say that is a large proportion of the S_S' on this forum and as such shows an accurate representation for the rest of the posters.

Ashby Saint Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 Some friendly advice for those updating their initial predictions as I think I've found a bug in the software (or should I say feature to quote some software developers I know). I originally had the Bournemouth game down as a 1:1 draw but updated my score on Monday night to 2:1. However, I didn't notice that when you "Save" your revised score it actually resets to 0:0. You actually have to enter the score again and Save it again before the system records it properly. As a result I was listed as not having submitted a score for the Bournemouth match. No matter but I thought I would pass it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syd_barrett_saint Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 Also, I predicted 2-1 Saints vs Bournemouth, and only got given 5 points.

VectisSaint Posted 22 August, 2010 Share Posted 22 August, 2010 Same for me, changed my initial Bournemouth prediction (I think to 2-1) and as a result my prediction was lost altogether, so here I am bottom of the table with nil points, with a game in hand :-( Still, its early days, 40+ games to go, no need to panic, everything is hunky dory in AP we trust (oh, forgot this is the Prediction League not League One).

Smirking_Saint Posted 25 August, 2010 Share Posted 25 August, 2010 EASY EASY That goes with the saints web premier league fantasy football thing too. I probably have about a 1 in 10 success rate in saving my predictions. Something is clearly not working properly When you save it it the score needs to be above the drop down boxes (it makes sense to me) you use to select the score ? If that doesn't make sense i will do a piccy for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets B Avenue Posted 27 August, 2010 Share Posted 27 August, 2010 I have been trying to get my "guess" saved for the last 30 mins. Is the problem due to the fact that I didnt do one for the Bolton game. 3-1 Saints tomorrow FTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
