Q. How many people are
registered to join in?
A. Since we started in 2005 we've had an average of about 15 people (a mixture
of adults and kids) each season in the various
competitions.
Q.
How many different leagues are there for the Predictor competition?
A. There is currently one division with all teams in. If there are
enough players
for two divisions then a promotion and relegation
battle takes place too.
Q.
Are there any other
competitions?
A. Yes, there are various cup competitions throughout the season, including
an FA Cup one, and our own knockout 'Autumn Cup' competition.
We also
have a World Cup and European Championship
tournament.
Q. Is there an entrance
fee?
A. No
Q. Can anyone join in?
A. No. Only those known to us.
Q. Do I need to
register in order to join in?
A. Yes. If you are ready to register, click
here. Once you have registered, you
don't need to again (for the different competitions or
new seasons).
Q. How does the points
system work?
A. For each game, you predict a score with the home team first, e.g. if
Spurs
are at home to Aston Villa and you put 2-1, you are
predicting that Spurs win
2-1. If Spurs win, you get 1 point. If they win 2-1 you
get a further 2 points,
giving you 3 points in total (if you correctly predict
a game with four or more
goals you get the same amount of points as there were
goals).
If the game was a draw,
or Aston Villa won, you wouldn't get any points.
There may be additional points available for jokers
played and in guest games,
as well as in the cup competitions (see the
details page for more on how the
points are calculated).)
Q. How do I send my
scores in?
A. Click on the 'Scores 1' page each week and the fixtures for the
coming
weekend will be listed. You will
only need to fill in your name, your pin
number (which we will send you after you
register), and your scores.
Then all you need to do is click on
the grey 'Submit' button and your
scores will be sent to us.
Q. What happens if I
make a mistake?
A. If you make an error while typing your scores, just press the grey
'Reset'
button and start everything again. Alternatively you
can just type over your
incorrect score.
Q. What happens if I
want to alter a prediction already sent in?
A. That's tough I'm afraid. Be careful when typing your details and
scores, and
check them before clicking on 'Submit'.
Q. I might be away on
holiday, or be unable to get to a computer to send my
scores in. What do I do?
A. As well as the upcoming weeks fixtures, we also list fixtures
for the following
week. You are not required to submit those, but if
you know you will be away
you can fill them in as well so you don't miss out by being
away. To view, or
send those in, click on the 'Scores 2' link.
Q. I sometimes forget if
I've already sent my scores in (if I did them early).
What can I do to remember?
A. There is a list of "early predictors" at the top of the Scores
1
page. If you
sent your scores for those fixtures in early, your name
will be added.
Q. What happens if I
forget to send my scores in. Do I get any points that
weekend?
A. Yes, you get 1 point less than the lowest score that week, up to a
maximum
of 5 points. This only applies to those who
occasionally forget their scores. If
you forget regularly then you will get
zero.
Q. Can we 'chat' with
other players?
A. Yes, we have a forum. Find out about it
here.
If you have any other
questions, please contact us.
