Welcome to Guess The Crowd for the 2021/22 season!
Hello again, everybody!
We’re back!!
And this time, we have .... masks! (Oooooh)
Priorities beckon for all GTC team managers.
It’s halfway through the season so you may have players isolating, resting hammies, well en route to recovery in the gym or enjoying a deep muscle massage / face pack.
You may need more chalk for your inspiring tactical talks.
You may have a coach that you haven’t a clue what exactly it is that they do, but that’s normal in Guess The Crowd 👍
If you're new to this:
The idea in every round is to guess what you think the official attendance figure will be, for that match. I post the total attendance that AVFC releases to the press at the end of the match on the Guess thread and award points according to how close you are to the total.
GTC is played for every home game and all home Cup games.
Usual rules apply againThese are:
1. One guess only in a round, per team.
Accidentally posting a second guess will not get you more points as only your first guess is counted.
2. No editing of your post.
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 - which is 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.
10 points. For a spot- on accurate guess posted after the BB interval.
9 points. 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!!!
This season we are continuing
DEANO’s DOUBLE DIVIDEND, now called
Gerrard’s Golden Goals!
Whatever the Villa goal tally is, the teams getting that number of points in that round get DOUBLE POINTS!
Other info if you have or haven’t played before.
Villa Park 42,785 GTC rounds are posted before a home league match and a home Cup match.
Check the launch post for the time of kick off.
Careful...
If a team has not posted a guess in 4 consecutive League GTC rounds
NOW COUNTING FROM ROUND 3 so get your guesses in for R 6!, the team will be moved with their points so far, straight to Division 5. Guessing again will revive the team to Division 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 join in and Guess The Crowd!!!
And so...
...it's time to launch the first Guess thread of this season!
Look for, 'GTC 1 VILLA v Chelsea 24th December’ later this evening.
The very best of luck to us all, and here's hoping for a season ending in a Cup for our own, shared, wonderful and infinitely brilliant team, Aston Villa!
UTV!
