All,

The start of the season is fast approaching so I wanted to remind
everyone who's remotely interested in North Premier that the Predictions League
fun starts soon and all are welcome.

Fingers crossed the hardy veterans of the last few years continue, last
season’s new comers continue and we get some new players to give it a go.

I’m happy to continue to administer the league again and tot up the
weekly scores / post the table, does anyone fancy posting the games and a bit
of a roundup / form and select the weeks un-bankable game ? I can do it but you
pretty much just get the games with me and no insight or commentary that Sten
did before me !

Last years winner was DRANOMIS can he / she make
it two years on the trot or will Tulip once again claim the title ? 

Quick recap on the rules for newcomers
and scatty headed veterans:

Same
as last season - 5pts for a correct result,
10pts for correct league points

Draws
- Score 10pts for correct result, 15pts
for correct league points

Banker - Double points, & I will declare one
game as "unbankable" each week (probably leaning towards easiest
prediction on paper)

Winning
Margin 
- predict whether each win will be by
more than or less than or equal to 10pts. Get it right for 5 additional points
per fixture. This will also be subject to banker double up.

We hardly ever have a draw predicted (and that’s
normally only Loofighters if I remember correctly) so I will continue to give
points either way if the score is exactly 10 points difference. I have never seen anyone predict =10. I think it
would only complicate things to do it differently and my Excel totting up template
would need even more complicated formula ! 

Any questions reply to this thread or
message me.

It would be really good to get some new
players, especially from the teams that join the Northern Premier League this
year.  Go on give it a go, it may just be fun.

I’ll post Week 1’s games later in the
week.
