Predictions League 2016 for MNDA with Trinity Brewing Co. : Fri Jan 29, 2016 1:39 am
It’s that time of year again. Less than a week to go. Eyes down, looking for a full house. Time to put your money where your mouth is. Prove your RL Knowledge and get your name on the Roll of Honour (also win beer :D
).The main prize is a 10 litre polypin of the beer of your choice created donated by Trinity Brewing Company. Currently a choice of 5 beers, subject to availability.
All RLFans members are welcome, regardless of club affiliation.
It's just a bit of fun, but with a purpose of raising a bit of cash for a charity, which this year is the Motor Neurone Disease Association in support of Trinity fan David Driver.
We suggest a minimum of £5, but the more the merrier. Contact our Finance Director Wrencat1873 by pm for payment options. (Usually cash at the match or cheque by post). If you can pay up ASAP it would be appreciated.
It could be quite a challenge this year as our 2nd home game isn’t till 6th March v Catalans and then the 3rd home game is Huddersfield on Good Friday 25th March.
For the regulars, it's just like last year but with all 8 fixtures in the Super 8 play-offs and qualifiers being included. The world club challenge, grand final, semis and million pound game fixtures are not included in the league. Round 11 is split with the first two fixtures taking place after round 2 on the world club challenge weekend. The bonus points will be awarded in the main part of round 11.
There will also be a separate cup competition starting when Trinity join the rounds. Depending on numbers the first round may well be an elimination round like last year to reduce numbers to 16 followed by a normal knockout draw against a co-player for subsequent rounds. Details later.
As there may be some newbies, some rules:
Fixtures
I'll post the fixtures for each round on this thread.
Just pick which team you think will win for each fixture through the course of the season.
So I’ll post:
Round 1 Fixtures
Leeds v Warrington
Hull FC v Salford
St Helens v Huddersfield
Wigan v Catalans
Hull KR v Castleford
Wakefield v Widnes
Just choose who you think will win each fixture.
e.g.
Warrington
Salford
Huddersfield
Catalans
Hull KR
Wakefield
using the same fixture order helps to minimise mistakes
Scoring
You get 2 points if you're right, 0 points if you're wrong.
5 points by correctly predicting a draw
plus 2 bonus points if you predict all the fixtures correctly in one round.
Results
I'll post the points table each week.
Deadline
The deadline for posting is kick-off time for the first fixture of each round.
You can post late, but games that have already started won't count.
Byes
we have a maximum of 2 'bye' rounds through the season like previous years, where you'll be awarded 4 points should you forget to post because you have a life or something. It's just to try to keep people playing if they accidentally miss a week or two.
If you're going away, feel free to post predictions for upcoming weeks.
I'll also post this on the Northstanders' Facebook page to see if anyone is interested over there, so we might get some friendly rivalry.
Any questions or obvious (deliberate) errors, post on here or pm me.
Best of Luck,
Coco
