Snowflake Royal From Rivals thread.

Predict the Championship table competition. Rules:
5 points for the exact position
3 points for within +/- 1 position
1 point for within +/- 2 positions
-1 point per position beyond 3 you are out by*

+2 points for each team you correctly predict being promoted (+4 if you correctly predicted them as Champions)
+2 points for each relegation team you have in the bottom 3

Two predictions possible, an early one by 13 June and another once we actually know a bit more, by 30 July

I'll take the entries from Pepe and YR, but feel free to change them if you want up to 13th.
Mine for example:
1 Watford
2 Sheff Utd
---------------------------
3 Middlesbrough P
4 West Brom
5 Sunderland
6 Norwich
--------------------------
7 QPR
8 Swansea
9 Burnley
10 Blackburn
11 Preston
12 Coventry
13 Huddersfield / Forest
14 Millwall
15 Wigan
16 Luton
17 Blackpool
18 Stoke
19 Cardiff
20 Reading
21 Rotherham
------------------------
22 Birmingham
23 Hull
24 Bristol C

Yes, this should be in competitions, it'll quickly fall down the board.

You'd better get involved after your lip Hound and Zip

Where can I find my original prediction?

Someone needs to re-read the rules. 1 submission allowed by 13 June, a second by 30 July. Today is 30 July. My first submission was before 13 June.

Your mother will be thoroughly ashamed of you. I had never thought you would cheat like this AFTER the season has already begun.

10 Game update to follow tomorrow. Not every team has played 10 games, but the table wouldn't change much in most cases even if they had.

FYI, my early prediction score is currently -81 and my post signings prediction is a whoppingly improved -77, so the bar to perform is pretty low. I'm not sure I got the scoring system quite right. :lol:

Standings after 10 games (mostly)

132 Current Highest Score Possible
1st: -64 - (randomised early guess)
SCIAG .

2nd: -69 -
Seahawk .

3rd: -73 - (early guess)
YorkshireRoyal99 .

4th: -77 - (early guess)
Elm Park Kid .

=4th: -77 - Snowflake Royal
6th: -80 - (early guess)
Morganb .

MrAngry .

8th: -81 - Snowflake Royal (early guess)
9th: -90 - (early guess)

SCIAG's allegedly randomly selected table is winning. For Shame. We're all worse than a random number generator ffs. :lol:

Hat's off to Royal_jimmy who has managed to not only get the worst score, but to have got it twice, making changes just before the season started to be even more wrong. :lol: :lol: Well played sir.

And well done Seahawk, the best scoring person to have not used a random number generator. :lol:

Your attempt? Yeah it's not great. What's up zip?

Formatting didn’t exactly come out very well, but I couldn’t be assed to fix it at the time.

Don't worry about the formatting. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out

The one aspect of my prediction that wasn’t random was Reading coming top, so I am taking the credit for only being two places out 8)

Certainly the closest on us by far... I think next best was 7th or 8th.
