TDP Bet365 African Cup Prediction League Official Thread

I hope you dont mind having it in here chaps although i suppose it could/should be moved elsewhere. Have i sold this forum to Bet365? I dont think so but i think we should give our sponsors that little bit more so i suppose i will have to stick this thread in here and also add a wee bet365 banner.

All easy enough. Click HERE for free and easy registration and choose African Nations Cup from the top menu. Your welcome to enter any of the other leagues that we have running or any mini leagues that others may be running but the Bet365 African Nations Cup is the one thats currectly offring the prizes.

We've a prize pool of £100. Thats a reasonable amount considering the newness of the software and my history in running these things. This is unsabotagable and the admin is easy enough and well covered. I suggest a prize pool of-

1st Place £50
2nd Place £30
3rd Place £20

that could change if folks have a better distrubution idea but it will be confirmed before the first kick off.

Rules i will go post and they will just follow the same rules as the other existing leagues. Each round we will offer bonus points for the match thats got the hardest to split teams. Unlike the the other leagues this league will be judged on the prediction Table rather than the avg point table. I'll go get the rest of the rules and any questions just ask.

Oh and good luck.

Soz RC i was meaning my signature. I suppose i should post a link really as well Here's some rules. I better type read it as there's spelling mistakes galore. If you can think of any improvements on them then please say folks.

Creating a new user
To be able to participate in the Prediction League you need to create a user profile. This is created by selecting the New User link from the right hand column.

Select a User ID to identify yourself in the prediction league. This can be anything you like as long as it is not already taken by another user.

Enter a password (twice). This is to ensure no-one else can change your predictions.

You must enter a valid email address to join the prediction league. This is used to have your password mailed to should you forget it.

Logging In
To log into the system enter your username and password into the Login box on the top left of the screen. If you have forgotten your password then you can request that it is sent to you using the email address you gave when you created your user.

Scoring
Points are awared as follows:

* 2 Points for a correct score. i.e. you predict 3-1 and the result is 3-1.
* 3 Point for a correct result. You predict 1-1, the score is 2-2.
* 3pts bonus for correctly predicting the bonus game. I dont know if you get that for a CS or a CR or both.

Goal Difference
* For each correct teams number of goals you score, you receive that number of +goals. e.g. you predict 2 and the team scores 2, you get +2 goals.
* For each incorrect number of goals you predict per team, you lose the difference in goals. e.g. you predict 3 and the team scores 2, you get -1 goals.

It'd probably help bearing in mind a lot of people choose to have signatures hidden anyway

Re: TDP Bet365 African Cup Prediction League Official Thread

i dont know why that last line made me laugh Winrew. Im sorry. Aye folks come on see if you can beat Winrew. Dont forget you can make up your own private leagues with friends and workmates so even if your too shit to beat the rest of us then you could least take the kitty at work. Remember all you and your mates need to do is sign up and enter your predictions. We'll sort the tables out. You just need to click CREATE MINI LEAGUE and make it LOCKED. Then just invite who you want. Your friends/collegues will have to have signed up first though and have a username. Show them who's boss. Beat them and winrew

You will need a bet365 account to claim any prize money from the official TDP Bet365 African Nation Prediction league

Re: TDP Bet365 African Cup Prediction League Official Thread

1st - £50
2nd - £20
3rd - £15
4th - £10
5th - £ 5

seems fair. Its not a lot but it's something. We can just let all this roll on in the background. Maybe we could have a forum for it all as it might encourage folks to get involved in other leagues. The more leagues and participants = more people to talk about football on the forums. The conversion rate wont be great but it will be something and it will all be runing itself. I was thinking we could take all the fun out of it by making correct score = 0pts and folks just use 1 and 0. A better improvement would be for folks to just chose 60 matches over a season (no more but poss less) Actually all this is bollocks as its the avg pts stat thats important. Maybe over x amount of predictions over a season. this way folks could join in over a season. I think im on the wrong thread.

The more the merrier Cinny. We have over 30 now which is quite pleasing. Folks shouldnt be able to miss the ads for it and i reckon we should get a few in. As per the 'work' thread i positevly encourage you all to get your mates in Cinny and boot their baws for them.

I quite like the green too. Aye this could be good. I'll add all the group fixtures in a bit. folks will have to realise the Week One (two) etc button too.
