 Quick update on the coming season. Sadly I was unable to get the spreadsheet so have been delving into building a new one. Wow, quite the learning curve. I promise never to bad mouth geeks and nerds ever again! However, it should be ready by the first game. Working on prizes. It's not going to be what you expect nor probably want  . I'll have the rules up once I get the permission from the Admins to sticky posts. Same with archiving the 2016-2017 season posts. I very much doubt we'll get the standings from the Tax Man, but if he still wishes to use the predictions they will be available under archives. My goal (he said with fingers crossed) is to have the tables out within 24 hrs of the game. I can't seem to get access to the DATM Prediction League email or twitter accounts so entries will have to be via the game thread on this PL board or by PM to me. I'll be advertising the PL on the main board as we get closer to the start of the season and will ask the Admins to sticky it there until season start. That's it for now. Will keep you all up to speed on progress as we move toward the Palace game. Any questions or suggestions please post them in this thread. Cheers canuckterrier |

Cheers canuckterrier My guess is that if excel went defunct overnight and all the archived files disappeared as well, then quite a significant percentage of the Western economy would implode, with the amount of businesses that probably rely on this... If you want me to give you a more accurate percentage you'll have to give me a few days to punch some numbers into a spreadsheet... |

Thanks KSNE. Hope the holiday goes well?
I've finished creating a spreadsheet but I'm thinking my programming skills, or lack thereof, have made something that may take more time than just using your basic pencil, paper and abacus.

Fuck that, I'm going with:
Accrington Stanley 0 - 4 Huddersfield Town
and:
Crystal Palace 0 - 4 Huddersfield Town since I'm now going with my head and not my heart.

I've updated the scoring to add extra tie breaking conditions in case we still have a tie after total points and points per game are taken into account at the end of the season.
Under the previous rules, if still tied the winners would have been joint champions. This could create difficulty when we only have one signed shirt as the prize. Unless it is an extra, extra large of course then they could have both squeezed into it at the same time I suppose.

The rules have been amended to drop the provision to input scores by PM. This means everyone's predictions can be seen by all players. I've also capped the number of scorers one can list at 4. You can predict a Town score higher than 4 but only 4 of those goals may have a scorers name assigned.
