First Week: OK we will do number of correct and number of wrong. If you predict the match correctly you get get one in the correct area, and if you are wrong one in the incorrect area. You must pick all the matches of the week. Since this is the beginning, scores will not count, just the winners. 15/02/04 Aarau - Zürich Grasshoppers - Xamax Servette - St Gallen Wil - Thun Young Boys - Basel My picks: Aarau GCZ Servette FC Wil YB
I would love to join in - it would keep me focused on the week-to-week results. Would you guys mind? How are you handling draws? Dave
Draws must be predicted. If you don't perdict a draw and it occurs the result for you goes down as a loss. I think this week we will just need to do a practice one. I only put this up on friday. Is that OK with you guys?
The more the merrier, go right ahead... Hey! That's Super League to you...! I think we should go ahead and start, simply because I feel very confident about my picks (We can still add people in the next round) I also think that starting with the next round we should predict the scores as well and award an extra point for each correct score. What do you guys think?
I guess this week is a go then. i will keep the official standings and will publish them the monday after the weekends matches. If there is a midweek match, they will be up the next day.
After the first week here are the standings. I altered the scoring a little. 3 points for a correct guess, 1 point if the match ended in a draw, 0 points for an incorrect guess. FT Aarau 2 - 4 Zurich FT Grasshoppers 1 - 0 Neuchatel Xamax FT Servette 3 - 1 St. Gallen FT Wil 0 - 2 Thun FT Young Boys Bern 0 - 1 Basel Schwarzweiss 12 points SwissGCZ: 9 points EnglishHoppersfan 9 points Dave141 9 points RobtheAggie: 6 points
Tsk, tsk....an Austrian leading the Swiss prediction league? Maybe we should return the favor on the Austrian prediction league: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=96634
Now that's kind of funny... Didn't expect to lead the Nationalliga-prediction... Could be that all the swiss guys in here could be better in the Austrian prediction...
Week Two: NE Xamax - Wil St. Gallen - Young Boys Thun - Aarau Zürich - Servette Basel - Grasshopper My picks: Xamax YB Aarau Servette Basel
I'll go.... Xamax Draw Aarau FCZ Grasshoppers Yes, I know, my last prediction is probably a case of letting my heart rule my head but I cannot back Bastard Basle to beat the Hoppers, I just can't! Have a good weekend everybody.
FYI, I believe that my score from last week is incorrect as I only picked 2 matches correctly - GCZ and Basel. (I also picked two draws which did not occur). Therefore, I would say I should be at only 6 points. I guess we're not doing exact scores yet (not that I needed any further evidence of my inability to predict the outcome of soccer matches!) Week 2 Xamax Young Boys Thun - Aarau DRAW Zürich - Servette DRAW Basel
My picks... Xamax St. Gallen Draw Draw GC Just like EnglishHoppersfan, I have to go with my heart on the last pick, but then again Basel is long overdue for a beating...
FT Neuchatel Xamax 0 - 2 Wil FT St. Gallen 1 - 3 Young Boys Bern FT Thun 6 - 3 Aarau FT Zurich 2 - 0 Servette FT Basel 2 - 2 Grasshoppers Schwarzweiss 19 points EnglishHoppersfan 13 points IASOCFan 13 points (I gave our dear moderator the lowest point total from the first round to compensate for not picking in the first round) SwissGCZ: 10 points Dave141 10 points RobtheAggie: 10 points If you picked a team and the match ended in a draw you recieve one point. If you pick a draw and the is a winner, you recieve no points.
But there'll be some surprises I can't be figuring out. I don't know the Nati A that well. I don't know most of the clubs circumstances...
You can always check the Super League thread for the league table and other info (not that you seem to be needing it.) I sure laid an egg this weekend with my predictions. I was counting on St. Gallen's home strength and FCZ's tendency to screw up. A bunch of unexpected results for sure... PS: Rob, I'm a lil' confused about the score-keeping. So we get a point for a draw if we pick a winner - (a reward for picking a winner?) What happens if we pick a draw correctly?
If you correctly pick a draw you get three points. This way the most points possible are given. We could have done it where any incorrect guess was zero points, but I thought it would help our egos to have a higher score
