Inter-Forum PREMIER Positions Game 2015-16


The game is already well established, several seasons running now. 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, OK?! That means don’t give rash selections like some did before in the hope for personal glory; now it’s a team average event, so putting the relegated three as the two Manchesters plus Chelsea is hardly going to get a healthy prospect for your forum…
But this is an ideal way to keep fans from many different clubs all together… 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. It is set against an single initial average entry taken from your forum guesses, and this average will be the forum entry. Before we have the first update each forum entry will be made clear on every participating forum. Five different member entries as a minimum is the requirement (no maximum!), this so as to avoid ‘fluke’ results which might distort the good guess-work averaged out by forums with large numbers.


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
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 – putting the ‘Hammers’ or ‘Gunners’ or ‘Tigers’ or ‘Toffees’ 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’s 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.

IMPORTANT

ENTRIES IN BY 7TH AUGUST 2015 – late entries are not accepted, for we would not be able to add them to an average forum entry once the first Saturday matches have kicked off …!

Have fun …

Last reminder!

Entries close TOMORROW, Friday, at 11.59pm

there are more forums this year taking part than ever, a massive 36 already have the 5 minimum, hopeful of one more (at least) getting there.

Remember it's an average forum entry this season, not an individual player competition - where there has been massive entries that means a real representative forum selection. We’ll get this forum average to you next week … and kick-off the game!

Good luck everyone, promised impartiality from my side !

No more entries please, we are now logging everyone onto the big Sunderland automated computer programme. So what happens now? We’ve been asked a few times … so for regulars to recap once again, and for new readers to know what’s going on.

OK, we’ve waited till Saturday morning; in a couple of days (hopefully not much more) we go through all entries, bear in mind patience, it's literally hundreds of them (there always are mistakes such as having 2 Norwichs but no Stoke, having only 19 by forgetting a team etc so we have to get back to individual posters).

Then we make the forum average - every team placed by every contributor has a number position and we take the exact average. If, say, Swansea comes out average of 8.5 place and next West Ham 8.61 then we know we place the Hammers one position lower. We can't predict points gaps of course - if you think there will be a 15 gap between 6th and 7th we can't account for that! But all twenty teams come out in order ... and I will faithfully transfer your average list on this thread as soon as I can. Forums by entry coming up soon too so everyone knows how many on each forum have participated.

All forums will vary, that's the beauty - so we calculate the 'real' table with your vision of a your forum table and we calculate how far every team is out and thus give the points, probably from the second league match onwards or possibly the 3rd game if it takes us that long. A lot of astute guessing this year I can see. But the league positions will of course change all season so our forum table changes all season, and as stated in the initial post we award extra bonus points at the end of every month - and that really helps to sort out the top firing forums!

But it's all just a bit of fun, don't take it TOO seriously! Also we've had cases where a forum has been, well, almost dire one season but the next gone on to medal positions (e.g. Man Utd and Sunderland) !!

An IBM Supercomputer and the Sunderland Black Cat Chat forum admin man and myself have spent quite a few days cogitating on the entries made into the Competition. A couple of entries could not finally be accepted, or did not get back to clarify doubts, but we finally have had a massive 431 entries from 39 Forums from the 40-something invited. Unfortunately 2 of the forums didn't hit the minimum number of entrants and lost out in Round one and a handful didn’t even get one prediction back. But the big, big majority got into double figures and some even passed twenty which makes for a fantastic representation. So the number shown at the side of your forum name is the number of entrants for the forum to get this all important average – if you want to know exact selections for any others (local rivals, soft spots etc) just tell me and I’ll happily post them on here, or even all of them ...




10 Cardiff City Fans Forum
Cardiff City


• 1 Man Utd
• 2 Chelsea
• 3 Man City
• 4 Arsenal
• 5 Tottenham
• 6 Liverpool
• 7 Southampton
• 8 Everton
• 9 Swansea
• 10 West Ham
• 11 Crystal Palace
• 12 Stoke
• 13 West Brom
• 14 Newcastle
• 15 Aston Villa
• 16 Leicester City
• 17 Sunderland
• 18 Bournemouth
• 19 Watford
• 20 Norwich City




What would happen if ALL entrants were put TOGETHER? – well, here is the combined wisdom of those 431 people. According to all of us, this is how the League table will look after the last game has been played. Apologies if your team is not where you’d like to see it!


441 Combined say:

• 1 Chelsea
• 2 Arsenal
• 3 Man Utd
• 4 Man City
• 5 Liverpool
• 6 Tottenham
• 7 Southampton
• 8 Everton
• 9 Swansea
• 10 Stoke
• 11 Crystal Palace
• 12 West Ham
• 13 Newcastle
• 14 West Brom
• 15 Aston Villa
• 16 Sunderland
• 17 Leicester City
• 18 Norwich City
• 19 Bournemouth
• 20 Watford




And …. here we are after the 1st Week's results! Hardly means anything yet of course …

Well no, we thought of it, and it's true they had a massive entry two seasons ago but no-one ever commented after about october despite them doing very well in the forum table. Some of the 'smaller' forums or forums outside the premier often take more real interest in this; Watford, Newcastle, Peterborough, Blackpool, QPR etc etc are just great, comment virtually every week!! :lol:
