Prediction League 2011/12 - Page 3

**Burdock** · #41 17-08-2011, 08:58 PM

The dates are wrong for kick offs by the looks... perhaps needs some tinkering?

It's easier to put right any disasters on the old version I think.... and FSi wouldn't be FSi without disasters during the season.

I will reserve judgement for now.... but it feels like 'Terminator'.... handing over the running of our world to the computer.... the Prediction League is going to kill us all........

Not much point in it really is there if predictions are visible to others. If you're at the top on the last weekend then all you have to do is copy your main rivals predictions and you can't be beaten.

Granted, but until the very last day I'm pretty sure it's all down to how you predict

It's alright for you though Adam, you don't have to worry about being near the top

It's altered now to you can't see other peoples bets, there is the option of being able to see others bets once a match has started or finished if people prefer that ?

I think it would be good if you could see other's predictions after KO.

When you click on the Scottish fixtures menu (on the left), it shows last weeks results rather this weeks fixtures.

Change it manually to matchday 5 ?

Blame ze geermans.

**Burdock** · #50 18-08-2011, 02:12 PM

Can we have it so that all the results from the three different leagues count in one league table only?

Otherwise I'm guessing we end up with 3 different prediction league tables?

Dunno, a quick add up of all points in ? leagues at the end of the season would be easy to do. We would just have to agree on which leagues count for a grand total.

Also don't know how we can have a cup competition either, I don't think it's possible.

The Cup Competition was done manually anyway. I just worked out who had done better in each tie on the week picked for the Cup Tie. I can still do that with the new version I think.

For the League, I suppose I could work out the combined table each week and post it in the thread. Shouldn't be too much of a problem.

**Burdock** · #54 18-08-2011, 05:39 PM

I could post something like this simple excel worksheet each week for the combined league table.

Only need to insert the current points for each league and the totals are worked out automatically.

Saying all that, if peeps prefer 3 seperate leagues, then so be it.

I reckon so.... just requires admin to reset in Jan. Should be easy enough.

We just need a few more on board now. If people are quick, we can start this weekend... if we are missing a few, then maybe it should be reset for next week.

**Begbie** · #56 18-08-2011, 06:04 PM

I'd leave it for a week or two.

**goodison** · #57 18-08-2011, 09:58 PM

haven;t read the entire thread but wondered if there would be another column for "guest leagues" .. personally i found those the most fun because half the time none of us had a clue

**Begbie** · #58 18-08-2011, 10:29 PM

Doesn't look that way. Goodison. It isn't efficient enough for the Germans.

'Guest leagues' like the championship or bundesliga etc can be added at any time, scudd just added the 3 for the time being at set up.

There is a reset button on each league so all that remains is when we want to start and finish, what leagues are valid etc. Burdock can have his spreadsheets at the ready ...apart from there is no way scudd will finish anywhere near that example

The prediction league cup is run manually by Burdock so that will run as norm, he will just decide the matches to predict on for points and work it out from there.
