We are running this initial trial using FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League matches left over the coming weeks then we will run a World Cup Prediction Competition in the summer.
Next season the intention would be to do a Prediction Cup for the League Cup and FA Cup. These would be predicting the QPR matches in each cup until we go out, then based on the bigger matches in each round thereafter.
The format of our Prediction Cups will be as follows:
Round 1: Everybody enters (open to anybody) with just the top 16 scorers going through to Round 2.
Round 2: 16 players drawn into 8 matches and the winner in each pair goes through
Round 3: 8 players drawn into 4 matches as above
Round 4: 4 players drawn into 2 matches
Round 5 - final of the remaining 2 players
The Scoring:
This is slightly different to our regular Predictions for the league which is based primarily around the QPR match.
Round 1 will focus on all 4 FA Cup matches that are taking place this Saturday 17 February to gain a greater spread of the scoring.
Round 2 to the Final will be decided as we go along whether they are based on 1 match or more, this will be made clear when each round is announced.
To make everybody aware now, Round 2 will be running next week based on the League Cup final.
Here is how Round 1 will score:
You simply predict the score of each of the 4 matches listed below. You get 6 points for the correct score, 3 points for a correct result.
For each of the 4 matches you also predict a first goal time from 6 time brackets with 3 points awarded if you are correct.
As a form of goal difference you also need to predict how many bookings will occur in all 4 games as a total. The more wrong you are, the more points added to your goal difference. The aim is to be as close as possible... the lower your goal difference the better. This will be used to separate any joint scores and will carry over throughout the competition.
That is it, simple to play, hard to be correct! 36 points is the maximum score in Round 1.
