"Official" BigSoccer EPL Prediction League

it is by "round". It's NOT every two weeks.

The Epl isnt like Italy or Spain where they go thru the schedule smoothly by playing everyone once, then afterwards, you play the exaclt schedule, but in reverse...

each "Round" is Sunday - Saturday

The only thing screwy is the first week only will have 1 day of matches, so instead of makine everyone choose the results for the 16th by the 9th, I gave everyone up until the 16th proper.

Again...

Round 1 Aug 10 - Aug 16 <--- picks due the 16th @ midnite EST isntead of August 9th.

Round 2
Aug 17 - Aug 23 <--- picks due the 16th @ midnite EST

etc

So what that means is that AFTER the matches on the 16th (Round 1) , log back in and you STILL can make the picks for Round 2, so Henry breaks his leg vs Everton, you will know ahead of the second match.

You are correct, you need a week or so in order to make a good preditcion, but instead of making it so that everyone had to have the first week of picks done by the 9th I did it this way.

TO be really brief in summary..Log in any Saturday, after the 23rd, you will have a full SEVEN days to make selections. In other words, I did it exactly how you said.

EDIT:
I will post on the site complete schedule to clarify any confusion

I'm going to have to beat you in this competition now after reading that. :D

Hey, nothing derrogatory about the term "online geek". It fits all of us, like a glove, and in a very good way at that. :)

Between you and the other Aussie blokes involved in the competition, I think I can school the lot of you. Under-estimate me at your own peril...

Nonetheless, that might make for an interesting mini-competition for the four or five of us from this corner of the world getting involved here.

And of course, welcome aboard, my friend. The more people we can get involved, the better the competition will be-- something I'm sure Tree will attest to.

It will be like the AFL dream team all over again, the only difference is there's no percentage boosters for me in this competition. :D

Well we've already filled out the first 3 divisions, and mattyc there is the first entry into the third Division...by my count that's 69 ppl thusfar.

I dont frequent other boards, but if I did I'd leave a message there as well somewhere but I dont wanna spam anywhere.

Just for my own sake...can someone tell me this...

In England it goes

Prem 20 teams
Div 1 24 teams
Div 2 24 teams
Div 3 24 teams
Conference 22 teams

Then what?

I know they have the Dr Martens and Rymans etc but how are the structured and in what order?

Welcome aboard, my friend. :)

Too bad you're in the Third Division, at least for the time being, I hope. At some point, all of those Aussie-based tipsters amongst us will be within the same division, so we can really and truly see who's doing the best.

That, and the roles will be mightily reversed! :p

[IASocFan]

I'm in. Wow. I'm in division 3 already. Must fix that. :)

[Van Buren]

Should be fixed... as long as there's a pro/rel system in place during the course of the season as there is with the MLS Prediction League? I'm assuming this is the case, Tree?

And as long as we have four flights down to the Third Division now, who is where? What's the make-up of the competition right now? Just out of curiousity...

no.

I cant make a 75 way tie for First in the "f-ing" Premeriship

on Monday the 18th the first scores will be in tabulated and you'll be listed in the rank of your scores...

i just thought itd be more unique than having a simple 1 through whatver list

You may be registered...but according to the db you didnt make any picks...kinda hard to get any points that way :)

exactly the case

I don't get the question...you mean why are you placed where you are right now? for now it's just listed in the order that you signed up...



Clanblue, got your PM...thanks for that

That's exactly my question. Who starts where? Can you post that order for us all, just to see where we're all starting at.

For example, I'm guessing I'm somewhere in Division Two, along with ScouseCat, while Matty and his cousin (welcome aboard to him, by the way) are in the next flight down, for starters.

I'll also submit my tips in the next few days. In this comp, just like in BigSoccer's MLS Prediction League, I'll try to wait as long as humanly possible before I put my tips in, but I may change that M.O. up in certain weeks.

[Treetaliano]

like I said...I'm 1st in the Premiership for now, since I signed up first. You are 11th in Div 2, since you signed up 55th...

Right now its just there...well just to be there...

after the first scores get posted on the 18th, you may be 5th in the Prem, and I may be in the third division, and from that day on it moves up and down depending on your running total of points...you'll see how it works on the 18th :D

Or the 19th, for those of us overseas in Australia. :)

Thanks for the info, Tree. And as long as I have more weeks of moving up than moving down the assorted ladders, I think I'll be doing A-OK.

Good luck to everyone in the competition.

Just put my tips in, thanks for the reminder, Tree. :)

Also, the more and more I look at the site and the handywork, I become more and more impressed over the whole look and feel of it. Tree, you should be commended quite highly for it-- awesome work.
