Title: Guess the Crowd 2013-2014 proposals.
Post by: Dave Clark Five on May 15, 2013, 07:43:00 PM
I'm a bit concerned about the current 11 for exact being too many points. It could move a team a ridiculous number of places up the league. Also late guessers, like myself, having an advantage over those who post early.
These are my proposals. Feel free to comment.

10 - Exact (posted at least 7 days before the match)
7 - Exact (posted less than 7 days before the match)
6 - Up to and including 10 off.
5 - Up to and including 50 off.
4 - Up to and including 100 off.
3 - Up to and including 500 off.
2 - Up to and including 1000 off.
1 - More than 1000 off with submitted guess.

I think we need an incentive for early guesses so that is what I have proposed. We never really know the capacity, so I suggest we drop it. Everyone has the same chance, so, with the incentive for early guesses, it should not be too bad.

I'll go with that.
To be honest I'd go with anything, you run the competition in your own time, we all love it, make up the rules how you want I say!

Happy with that, but would prefer 8 points instead of 7.

Think I might join this next season, seems like good fun.

Plus I'd have the local derby against my brother....

Looks fine to me Dave. I think 10 for hitting an ace is ok. That deserves special points .

Could we have some GTC, pre-season friendlies, namely
Walsall
Shamrock
Newport
Malaga
Same format as the FA Cup GTC? Would be some good pre season practice for us all?

This is an automated reply. The GTC offices are closed at present. If you need to contact us urgently, dial xxxxx, then option 1, option 6 and option 2. If a miserable old git answers, you will have reached us. All calls are recorded.

Not a bad idea by the way. Decided on the GTC Charity Shield to cut down on admin.
