Predicting
For each of their matches, players are to predict the half-time AND full-time score of any match in the 3 Conference leagues.
These predictions will be e-mailed to this address: tinpotleague@yahoo.co.uk. Or sent via carrier pigeon, whichever is the quickest.
Ideally these predictions should be sent by 10.30 p.m the day prior to the match concerned. Anybody not predicting by the time the game kicks-off will automatically score nil.
From those predictions, each player will earn a certain number of 'goals', scored as follows:
- CORRECT HALF-TIME RESULT (i.e. home lead, away lead or draw) - 1 goal
- CORRECT FULL-TIME RESULT (i.e. home win, away win or draw) - 2 goals
- CORRECT FULL-TIME HOME GOALS - 1 goal
- CORRECT FULL-TIME AWAY GOALS - 1 goal
Players who fail to predict and then draw 0-0 will be given the draw in the league table - but will have the point they earn deducted.
Players level on points will be separated in the league tables by GOALS SCORED first, to reward those with better predictions over the season, and then goal difference. If those are the same, players will be ordered according to number of wins - then it'll come down to the result between the players concerned.
