Title: GUESS THE CROWD 🥧 2024/25; Divisions, Rules, Points and Bonuses!
Post by: Louzie0 on August 18, 2024, 01:11:08 PM: Welcome to GUESS THE CROWD for the 2024/25 season!

Hello again, all, it’s time once again to get your teams up and running / jogging / walking / staggering in those colourful bibs and new training gear and to marvel at the dayglo boots your sponsor has provided.

Your teams are back from their summer tours of the USA, Dublin, various islands and a rare old party time with friends/family/fans.

You may need to break out the beeps and cones to knock them back into shape and remind them of where they play and er, what they do.

While your squad is getting fit, why not review the rules for playing Guess The Crowd?

If you haven’t played GUESS THE CROWD 🥧 before, read on:

The idea is to guess the official attendance figure at VILLA PARK for the match named in the Round.

All GTC Rounds are for the HOME games in the Premier League, Champions League and the Cups.

I will post the total attendance figure at the end of the Guess thread as soon as it is available, usually from the BBC.

I award points according to how close you are to the total. (If you see the total before I do, feel free to post it!)

GUESS THE CROWD 🥧 may be played for a WSL VILLA Home game, depending on the press of fixtures.

The Usual Rules apply in all Rounds. These are:

1. You may post One guess only in a Round.

Accidentally posting a second guess will not get you more points as only your first guess is counted.

2. No editing of your post, please.

Editing means you get only 1 point that round.

3. You must post your guess before Kick Off.

POINTS!!!

What could you get?

11 Points for a Brucie Bonus!
This is awarded for a spot- on dead accurate guess, usually early on in the week - check the BB interval in my launch post of the round to win this. If it’s wild, it lasts all week! ;)

10 For a spot- on accurate guess posted after the BB interval.

9 For a guess up to 10 away from the official attendance total.

And then...

8. For a guess up to 50 away
7. For a guess up to 100 away
6. For a guess up to 200 away
5. For a guess up to 300 away
4. For a guess up to 400 away
3. For a guess up to 500 away
2. For a guess up to 1000 away
1. For entering that round! :)

And!!!

You could also win the Emery’s Extras Bonus.👍😃

Whatever the Villa goal tally is, the teams getting that number of points in that round get DOUBLE POINTS!

More info if you haven’t played before:

Villa Park’s capacity is currently 42,918 according to the FA Handbook 2024/5.

FA Handbook 2024-25 with club Directory (https://resources.premierleague.com/premierleague/document/2024/07/26/e6332e5a-4ca6-4411-bf01-9f8ab76c6fb4/TM1534-PL_Handbook-and-Collateral-2024-25_25.07_V2.pdf)

This could change, look in here for any updates!

If a team has not posted a guess in 7 consecutive Premier League GTC rounds the team will be moved with their points to The Treatment Room. Guessing again will revive the team with their points to Division 3/4.

Once there's a space in any Division, the top ranking team in the Division below is promoted immediately to fill it.

You can join in on any Round in the season. Keep your team active and you’ll get promoted as soon as possible!

It’s never too late to Guess The Crowd!

And so...
...it's time to launch the first Guess thread of this season!

Look for, 'GTC 1 VILLA v Arsenal on Saturday 24th August’ in Heroes Discussion today!

The very best of luck to us all. It’s our year for a Cup, we have the manager and team focused on winning one, and we’re hosting the Champions League again at VP! Here’s to another fabulous finish well at the top of the Premier League for our own wonderful and infinitely brilliant team, Aston Villa!

Post by: Louzie0 on August 25, 2024, 07:11:51 PM: Idea for scoring more points!

I’m considering Dibu’s Dividend, based on our World No. 1. I don’t want to hex him, but

1) How about a point bonus when he saves a pen? It needs to be for an identifiable group of teams in the specific round, so it could be for anybody scoring 1 or for those with the lowest score, whichever applies?

It could be 3 points( that he’s saved) awarded to everyone guessing in that round, as not everyone remembers to guess every time! ;)

We don’t have pens every match, but there could be a bit of a bonanza when ET goes to pens in the CL!

2) An alternative is for teams to Guess The Crowd as usual and also, to nominate the number of saves in the match that Emi Martinez actually makes, for the Dibu Dividend, like this:

GTC 42,918
DD 12

In this case, any team guessing the correct number of saves gets 3 points. (Not 3 per save!)

Let me know what you think, please!

All hail our top scorer overall, so far this season: simon ward 50! 😎🌟 A superb start!

Close behind are PGW, devilla, edgysatsuma89 and RudyCan’tFail! Great guessing so far!

At the other end we find 4 teams still struggling to find their socks in the changing room, or maybe the players’ tunnel has taken an unexpected swerve in stadium renovations over the summer?
Come and join us! 👍

Stand by for New Division 3, the starting point for teams who have joined us this season.

Post by: Louzie0 on September 16, 2024, 02:02:37 PM: Good idea, PGW, I’ll add them in here.
You can always find individual attendance figures at the end of the Round, with the points awarded, just as soon as they appear.

Edit: Done. ( At the top of D1)

Post by: Louzie0 on October 18, 2024, 06:13:16 PM: Hi Teams,

(First post, now updated! See below!)
I’ll update Divisions after Bologna on Tuesday. There have been a couple of Rounds where everyone got 1 or 2 points, which hasn’t affected them a lot, but Round 5 had a bit of impact and hopefully, Tuesday’s match should help to improve everyone’s totals!

You have all Guessed The Crowd since the beginning of this season, thanks.

Tonight I am in my garden, looking up at the stars, with a glass of chilled sv. It would be great if you guessed again. We could revive Division 3, even Division 4, like before the pandemic.

But, you know, life is like that. So, if you don’t guess, sorry, but you’re into the Treatment Room.
Lots of ❤️

We had quite a few teams missing guesses for the Chelsea match - I think it was a very short run-in, so keep your 👀 glued to Heroes Discussion during April and May, because there’s a lot of action for Our Unai and the lads.

Makes a nice change, doesn’t it!

Here’s the link to the match v Notts Forest this Saturday. I’ll post the next 3 results and update the Divisions again after that titanic struggle v the Trees.
