Otta Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Personally I'd lose the maxxi system altogether. 5 points is too much, and it's hardly worth having for 2 points anyway.

Jah Lush Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Indeed. Thanks Red Devil for the running of the Predictors League. Good work and thanks for putting in the effort. As for the Maxxi system I agree with Keith. By dropping it it will give people more of an incentive to take part.

Its a great idea, however the parents will be paying long term due to chronic neck problems.

maxxi Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Have pm'd my CL prediction. Agree about losing the maxxi - a poor week when you only get a point or two should not be rubbed in by those on the missing list getting more.

El Pibe Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 maybe a maxxi should be the lowest score of the week, just to keep them in touch.You need something else there's no incentive to join late or to carry on if you miss a week through illness or holiday.If I do the webapp maybe I'll post randomly generated (from 0-2) scores thirty minutes before kick off if no scores have been entered.

You know who I'm bound to go for anyway (no mind games... honest) B)Oh, and RD? Retire? To spend more time concentrating on the EDF Fantasy Premier League you mean?

Alan Medic Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Ok maxxi, though I don't remember any retraction. Now RD, what are the rules for the Final if you don't mind my asking given our entries could be the same?

red devil Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 As per FA Cup Final...- If both players predict the correct result and correct score i.e 3pts, then the nearest prediction for the first goal scored wins. If by a miracle you both predict the same time, then it's decided by a toss of the coin.- If both players predict the correct score only i.e 1pt, then closest to the actual score wins. If this is equal then the nearest prediction to the time of the first goal scored applies, and so on.I think that covers all eventualities.

Otta Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 So we had him 6 months, lent him out for a season then lost ?20m. Good bit of business there.Good luck to him, I'd still like to have him at Anfield, but stubborn Rogers has his plans.

Can't think why not - Newcastle don't want him back so who else is there? I hope he signs. He may be a big/physical player but he has some skills too - unlike whoever BFS would get as a replacement.

Alan Medic Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 So it will only come down to first goal scored if Bayern win but Dortmund score 2 goals. Is that right?
