I'm pleased to say that Hakuna Matata, the Sunderland Admin man, is willing to run a Reading member individual competition of Premier Positions in addition to the overall inter-forums game. We are the only board, apart from his own Sunderland Black Cat Chat Forum, where that is possible.

So, apart from the forums game, we have these INDIVIDUAL entries as well:

Inter-Forum Gamemaster!
The game is already well established, several seasons running now. And we’d like to invite you!
The Sunderland ‘Black Cat Chat’ forum (and Hakuna Matata to be precise) does the real hard mathematical donkey work all during the season, whilst I am the representative from the Reading’s Royals Rendezvous forum and do more the ‘public relations’ type stuff as many already know. We are going to be your points of reference for all this coming season.

Some 750 of you have already participated in previous seasons. But for newcomers, what is this game? It’s dead easy! You simply guess ONCE (now!) what you think will be the final league positions for the Premier League 2015-16 (that means placing all teams, in order from 1st to 20th), leave them on this thread, and then sit back and enjoy! Nothing more!!

BUT … THIS SEASON THE GAME WILL BE SPECIFICALLY A FORUM EVENT, NOT AN INDIVIDUAL PLAYER EVENT … EXCEPT ON RR so where forums have an entry of a minimum of five people we will make a ‘board average’, thus you’ll be able to see how your forum copes against many of the others across the land.


This game will initially take you a couple of minutes, and then enjoy without having to make updates at all, all season. Right, below are the current 20 Premier teams in alphabetical order – BEST IDEA is simply copy these onto your PC and re-arrange them in your finishing order come the end of the 2015-16 season. The Sunderland computer handles them in an alphabetical order initially so please help us with accurate spelling, as laid out below:


Arsenal
Aston Villa (please don’t write only ‘Villa’!!)
Bournemouth (comes for us under ‘B’, so please don’t write AFC Bournemouth!)
Chelsea
Crystal Palace (please don’t write only ‘Palace’!!)
Everton
Leicester City
Liverpool
Manchester City
Manchester United
Newcastle United
Norwich City
Southampton
Stoke City
Sunderland
Swansea City
Tottenham Hotspur (please don’t write only ‘Spurs’!!)
Watford
West Bromwich Albion
West Ham United


Try not to give any nicknames – or more disrespectful rival names - might understandably be a good laugh but it is simply a headache for us at our end so … please!!



According to your choices your forum will score points, and better still, very few, points. And how do you sparingly score those points?


Scoring is as follows:

For each team your forum scores one point for each place away from its predicted position. Example - if you predict Sunderland to finish 9th and they finish 9th, you score 0 points (that’s really excellent predicting). If they finish 13th you score 4 points or if they finish 7th you score 2 points. Therefore, the nearer you get to the exact position and have less points mounting up the better. I will endeavour to make updates at least at the beginning of every month during the season out of interest, and usually fortnightly, scoring points from the ‘real’ live premier table at each moment, but all leaderboards during the season are given for interest. So IMPORTANT! - The big winners are the forums at the end of the season who have LEAST points after the final game has been played.


The table positions won’t change position so much in the later stages of the season so … how can we maintain interest to the end you might be thinking?! Well, we have MONTHLY rewards for those in the top positions! That means points rewards for the highest positions at the end of every month (calculating from the REAL table on the 30th/31st - except when part-way through a weekend programme in which case we will wait to a maximum of Monday night for completed weekend programme to calculate progress reports).

Here's the idea:
1st spot - take off 3 bonus points from score, so score dips even lower /
2nd - take off 2 bonus points /
3rd - take off 1 bonus point
Bonus Points are for the most successful - Positions 1 to 3 – and includes tied points so there may well be far more than 3 teams involved. Their position for the deduction will be based on their (true) teams' score, not taking any previous deductions into account which you do keep all season of course on lowering your overall total.

Thanks for including me in this even though I posted mine on the Cardiff City online board to boast their numbers. They didn't need my help as it happens.

Individual entry comp details coming very shortly, gotta slight hitch with one entry, but can pretty much assure you that TSB has romped away after the first day's play, followed by Foxx (at the moment) ;)
