HTAFC Prediction League 2024/25 Play Offs 1st leg (Snooty v theo) - Lord Snooty - 29-12-2024
2 points for correct result
4 points for correct score
2 points for each correct scorer
Correct joker doubles your score
(correct score on a joker would give you 8 points)Wrong joker result gives you minus 2
Correct Badger gives you 2 points
The prize for winning the league is one rep point.
Cup games: In the event of a draw, it's half the points if you've predicted a draw when it gets to 90 mins and the full points if it's still a draw after extra time. Half the points will be awarded for correctly predicting the winner of the match if it goes to penalties. However, if you do predict a draw and it's a match that won't be going to a replay, you can get a possible extra point by stating which of the two teams you think will eventually win.
Random score generator: I will be using the random score generator again for those who miss predicting, so we shouldn't get some people too far behind that after missing a couple of weeks they lose all interest, because I know it's not easy getting on here every week.
To be fair to everybody, this is going to be like, say if three people in one week miss their predictions, the first one in the table will be given all 0-0, the second one down the line will get 1-0 and the third will get 0-1 and so on, like if there's four missing the 4th will get 1-1, then 5th 2-1, 6th 1-2. and if there are so many missing, might as well pack in.
And if you miss two weeks on the trot, I'll stop until you come back on again. Not doing it for half a season like I did t'other year.
At the end of the season, the winner of group 2 and the bottom of group 1 will swap places in what is commonly known as "promotion" and "relegation". It's something that most football fans will be familiar with, unless you're a fan of Liverpool or Arsenal or one of those other fashionable clubs.
The second placed player in group 2 will then have a play off with the player who finishes second from the bottom in group 1 to decide whether they will be going up, down or staying where they are.
We're going to have two seasons in one though, just to try and make it a bit more interesting and not so long drawn out. The first season will end on the Boxing Day fixtures, with the play offs being on the dates of the Twixtmas fixtures and the NYD fixtures.
The second season will start the following week, which is usually the FA Cup 3rd round, finishing on the last game of the League One season. Then another period of relegation/promotion play off games, taking in such fixtures as the EFL play offs, FA Cup Final, UEFA finals and such like.
Each group will have it's own set of fixtures. Both groups will have the Town games, with scorers to predict as before. Then it will be a split of League One fixtures and bonus matches, hopefully around ten, eleven or twelve games per Matchday.
The random badger is restricted to three goal scorers in any of the fixtures in your group.
Here's how that will appear at the end of the fixture list. All you have to do is fill in the blanks.......
*** scores for *** *** scores for *** *** scores for ***Any of those will score two points if correct. No minus points for getting it wrong.
Postponed matches will only count if the match is re-played before the next Matchday is under way. Abandoned matches will be awarded half the points for the score at the time of abandonment, so 1 point if you have the correct result, 2 points if you have the correct score.
Substitute
or scorer in one of the Town games:- These will be only be allowed if you change them before the match involved has kicked off.Prediction League Archive: https://www.sportsbabble.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=12830
So we now have a two legged Play Off between Lord Snooty and theo_luddite. The usual rules apply, but in the case of the match ending in a tie, we will have a tie breaker. That will be to predict the total number of corners in the two Huddersfield Town matches during the two legs. The closest wins. If it's still a tie, the winner will be the one who scored most points over the season, which in that case would be theo.

I'm glad i avoided this play off.
RE: HTAFC Prediction League 2024/25 Play Offs 1st leg (Snooty v theo) - Lord Snooty - 30-12-2024
Game on!
I was just about to mention Louie Barry has been recalled by the Villa, but they're letting him play against the Brummers first.

You have to wonder why don't you?

RE: HTAFC Prediction League 2024/25 Play Offs 1st leg (Snooty v theo) - Devongone - 31-12-2024
Any pushing, shoving and holding at corners and I shall be most disappointed in you two.
We ARE all on tenterhooks by the way.
RE: HTAFC Prediction League 2024/25 Play Offs 1st leg (Snooty v theo) - neonfoxinthebox - 31-12-2024
Good luck to both of you.
RE: HTAFC Prediction League 2024/25 Play Offs 1st leg (Snooty v theo) - theo_luddite - 01-01-2025
We might have to sort this out over coffees in Costa or pints in The Peacock. Maybe both.
The only pushing and shoving will be trying fight our way through them that are 3-4 deep at the corner of the bar an hour before kick-off.

I also wish you both luck in your predictions, but the winner knowing you'll be playing against me must dampen your euphoria.. ha ha laughs.
