2009 - composition of leagues

[bocadillo]

​

Amended to show current position. If I've listed anybody here who won't be taking part this season, please let me know. If you're not listed and want to take part, let me know - we can still make space for a few more - but be quick!

I shall revisit this thread during the season. It'll probably be the only time I'm top. :icon_bigg :icon_wink

Too true!


There have been a couple of drop-outs, a couple more newcomers and some returners. I'm about to amend the OP to show the current position. You'll be lucky if you're still in a play-off position by the start of the season!

Bloody hell. Down to second before a ball is kicked! I really am rubbish at this. :icon_sad: :icon_wink

Dunno, how eveyone else feels about this, but i think play-offs would be cool, would give more people stuff to play for, say there were 4 teams getting promotion, then the top 3 go up automatically and 4-7 play-off like in the actual FL.

One Prediction League season usually follows straight on from another, so there is not time (and no matches) in which to arrange play-off games.

Part of the reason that the Prediction seasons are kept so short is so that people do feel that they have something to play for. I suggested cutting the size of the leagues this season to make shorter seasons so that people wouldn't have to go so long with little to play for, but people were against the idea so I dropped it.

It should also remember that play-offs will only involve 8 teams (and then 4) whilst the other 64 teams twiddle their thumbs.

And I think if I had finished 4th in a 23 game season, I would feel that I had deserved the promotion.

You're in. Not quite sure whom you'll be playing yet, but get your predictions in to me and I'll sort it out.

Out of the competition goes city boy again - no predictions from him from yesterday's games, and for most of last season. Orifice is promoted to take his place and takes over his fixtures.

Out goes Fludie too - no predictions from him yesterday despite the PM I had from him saying that he would be back to predicting this year - nothing from him last season either. Fludie and Orifice are replaced by Kingy_85 and stevewalshwasgod.


The only teams that didn't predict yesterday were Willlow, NN and Hammond Organ. Very rare for any of them to miss a week - hopefully they will be back next week.

OP will be amended to reflect current league composition - but not tonight!

Thank you gladly. :thumbs_up
