Guess The Crowd 2015-16 Divisions, Points and Bonuses!

[Louzie0]

Guess The Crowd 2015 - 16

Look for the GTC thread for the next Home Match in 'Match Threads and Player Ratings'. It usually appears about 10 days before the fixture.
Guess the crowd.
Post your guess in the thread for that match, not in this one, please.

You can score:


10 for a correct guess before 7 days before KO - this is The Brucie Bonus!
9  For a correct guess within 7 days of KO
8  Within 10
7   Within 50
6   Within 100
5   Within 200
4   Within 400
3   Within 500
2   Within 1000
1   For entering and above 1000 out

First guess only counts.

Editing posts - will result in that guess being null and void, with just the 1 point awarded for entering, that week. The edit will be noted by the site at the bottom of the post, as we all know.  First guess only counts. No guesses will be counted after Kick Off.

Teams which do not play for 4 consecutive GTCs will be moved directly to Division 4 at the level of their points so far.

Teams in Div 4 which do not play for 4 consecutive GTCs are consigned to the Outer Darkness but may start playing  again from 0 if they revive before the end of the season.


Brucie Bonuses may be offered for alternative windows of opportunity from time to time!

Villa Park capacity 42,660, as quoted by the Premier League on their website and in the 2015/16 Handbook.

[Louzie0]

Update

New divisions on the way (4) with promotions etc. Oooh!

I have amended VP capacity in the introductory post at the top as per the new FA Handbook for 2015/16.  It's now 42, 660.

No, I don't know where the other 22 have gone, either!

There is a current points round up at the end of GTC1 v the Mancs, to keep you in the picture.  GTC2 up soon, v Sunderland. 

And, if you missed GTC1, remember:

It's never too late to join Guess The Crowd!

UTV!

This division is made up of:

4 Teams that were relegated from old Div 2.
Active teams from old Div 4 and the champion.
Active teams from old Div 3 (played GTC 1).
New Teams who have played GTC 1 - welcome!
Anybody who said, 'I'm in!' this time around but somehow missed GTC 1.


Active teams are those playing this season.  They appeared in the 'Are You In?' thread before GTC 1 and/or played.

10 teams which were inactive for months (!) last season in old Division 3 have been moved into D4.  Otherwise, Division 3 would be absolutely massive.  It's still too big at this point.  But, there is a plan!

Any team from Divisions 1, 2 or 3 which does not play for 4 consecutive games will be moved into Div 4, at the level of their points so far.
The way out of Div 4 is to play, as top scorers throughout all 4 divisions will be promoted during the season as spaces appear in the divisions above!

I will be working on reducing Div 3 to 20 teams so this might not affect Div 4 at once, but it will be happening throughout the season, so no active team should be languishing for long.

Any new teams from now will join Division 4 and have as much chance as anybody else to move on up!

And remember...it's never too late to join GTC! 
 
UTV, Div 4 follows.

Here are all the remaining teams from last season.

If you would like to revive your team with the magic sponge, you know what to do! 
This season, top scoring teams will be promoted just as soon as spaces appear in Div 3, once that's down to 20 places.  There's opportunity for a meteoric rise, real phoenix from the ashes stuff.  Everybody's on 0, with everything to play for!

However,

Teams which do not play GTC for 4 consecutive games will suddenly disappear from here, probably to the back row of the Upper Trinitycar park).


All new teams from now will start in here and show us what you're made of!
Oooh!

UTV, Louise


I hope I haven't dropped any teams off the end, as it were, but it's very easy for me to do that with cutting and pasting going on.  If you can see I've lost you, please let me know in here and as if by magic, you will reappear.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

"Louizie I'm lost" I said, though I knew she was sleeping...*

*I'm not lost but you've given me a great earworm.

[Louzie0]

I'm playing some Paul Simon at the moment.

[Louzie0]

Possibly the answer to how a 'sold out' game ended up 460 - odd short on the official attendance which puzzled a lot of us after the ManU game.

I found this comment on a Sunderland site:


 HnTch said: ↑
If we don't shift these then I bet it'll be back to smaller allocations. (Quoted)


'I think Villa give the larger allocation regardless, as they don't sell out. Basically Villa just tell the away club shift what you can and we will only charge you for what has been sold.'
 from Robbied1

Read more: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/villa-tickets-on-general-sale.1124631/#ixzz3jyKETHx8

 
So the away contingent a couple of weeks ago was short by that many who didn't buy tickets from the visitors' total allocation.
Possibly.

It's not been keeping me awake, though, if you've noticed the time on this post.  I've just watched 3 Criminal Minds episodes in a row. Oh, and read bits of A Love Supreme in the advert breaks, as you do.

All this to remind you that it's never too late to play Guess The Crowd!
Don't forget GTC 2, for Sunderland this Saturday.  There's a handy Guessing Thread called something like that.
UTV!

A dash denotes no guess for this game.  LCX games do not count as 'missed' for demotion as they are Extras.

London Villan and Rotterdam have both begun to move up, so these League Cup Extras points are worth getting!

Vancouver Lion is back in this edit and sorry again for losing you!

Div 2 follows.

There's a bit more movement in this Division, as you can see.  Only single points but they all count!
Hopefully the 4 teams on 0 will make a guess for Sunderland and get off the mark; at least one of them has already!

Well done to Tugby Villain (7) and Fasth56 (6) for the highest scores this round.   Straight to the top and candidates for instant promotion as it stands, if teams in D1 and D2 miss playing for 4 regular GTCs in a row.   
League Cup Extras certainly paid off this time.
Talk about your incentives.
Ooooooh!

Teams in need of the magic sponge have 3 more regular GTCs to start PLAYING!
I've noted some of you in the Sunderland thread for Saturday, already, so if you haven't taken the plunge yet this season just remember:

It's never too late to play Guess The Crowd!!!!

Teams in need of the Magic Sponge have 3 more regular GTCs to get playing or get taken off and thrown into the ice bath for the foreseeable.  Look for the Sunderland GTC 2 thread for this Saturday and avoid this dreadful fate!

Some new teams have already guessed for Sunderland and will appear in the Division 4 results for that game, as will anybody else who joins in.  (At this rate, you could be in the top 5!) 

Teams will get promoted this season as players in Divisions above get red carded for missing 4 GTCs in a row and then reappear in here at the level of their points total so far.

UTV!


It's never too late to Guess The Crowd!

 
(Even from the ice bath - see notes for Div 4 from GTC 1 a few posts above)



 

[Louzie0]

The next GTC League Cup Extras is coming up nearer the match against You Know Who.

[CJ]

I'm confused (not unusual for me). Are the cup matches included in GTC or are they just a fun add-on?
