Predictions League
By Simon Good
August 19 2002
Here is an opportunity to prove yourself the most knowledgeable Tigers supporter on SportNetwork. I will be running a predictions league over the coming season with the title of top Tigers tipster up for grabs.
The way it will work is like this:
2 points for guessing the winner correctly,
1 bonus point for being 2 points or closer to the Tigers score,
Same for the opponents score,
1 bonus point for being 1 point or closer to the difference between the two scores,
5 bonus points for being exactly right.
So you can score a maximum of 10 for each game, although that requires you to be spot on, which is pretty difficult as anyone who has played the score draw on the away supporters bus will testify. So if, for example, you guess 25 - 15 to Tigers, when the score is actually 22 - 17 you would get 2 for guessing the winner. You don't get a bonus point for the Tigers score as you are 3 away and similarly you don't get anything for the points difference as you guessed 10, whereas the actual margin was 5. However the opponents score gives you a bonus point as you are only 2 away, giving a total of 3 for the game.
I will accept predictions, or changes to predictions, as long as I receive them before the game begins.
Please make sure you are clear about which is the Tigers score and which their opponents!
Email your predictions along with the name you wish to use to tigerspredictions@hotmail.com.
Good luck!
