Inter-Forum PREMIER Positions Game 2013-14

Inter-Forum PREMIER Positions Game 2013-14
organized by Sunderland’s Black Cat Chat, Reading's RR, and TOTT forums



Before I start, let me say it's fantastic to meet up again. OK, as a Royals supporter it's a real shame not to be in the Premier for longer than a season, but as you'll know we endured a sorry to say deserved relegation. But things are still positive, never mind ... and on the other hand a belated congratulations to all of you on a magnificent season last season.


OK, the game that I've titled is actually already well established, several seasons running now. But this season we’re going big time – should be over 30 individual club forums involved. The Sunderland ‘Black Cat Chat’ forum does the real work all during the season. I am the representative from the Reading’s Royals Rendezvous, and we also have had a strong Liverpool group too helping out too. Talk of the Terrace are also going to be a point of reference for all this coming season.

And it’s dead easy! You simply guess ONCE (now!) what you think will be the final league positions for the Premier League 2013-14 (that’s all teams, in order 1st to 20th), leave them on this thread, and then sit back and enjoy! Nothing more!!

Why the attraction of all this you may well ask?! Well, it’s now some time since we had the days of the BBC 606 fans forum service – most will remember it closed in June 2011, and still missed despite the fact we sometimes went over the top –  so this is an ideal way to keep us all together still.

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 – simply copy these onto your PC and re-arrange them in your finishing order come the end of the 2013-14 season:

Arsenal
Aston Villa
Cardiff City
Chelsea
Crystal Palace
Everton
Fulham
Hull City
Liverpool
Manchester City
Manchester United
Newcastle United
Norwich City
Southampton
Stoke City
Sunderland
Swansea City
Tottenham Hotspur
West Bromwich Albion
West Ham United





According to your choices you score lots of, or better still few, points. And how do you score points?
Scoring is as follows:
For each team you score 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 (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 the beginning of every month during the season out of interest, but all leaderboards during the season are given for interest.
IMPORTANT! - The big winners are the people 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, this season 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 31st at 11.59pm!!).
Here's the idea:
1st spot - take off 5 bonus points from score, so score dips even lower / 2nd - take off 4 bonus points / 3rd - take off 3 bonus points / 4th - take off 2 bonus points / 5th - take off 1 bonus point
Bonus Points are for the most successful - Positions 1 to 5 – and includes tied points so there may well be far more than 5 people 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 your overall total .


Also, where forums have an entry of a minimum of five people there will be a ‘board average’ too, thus you’ll be able to see how your forum copes against many of the others.  I believe it’s an average set against a yardstick of averages and not a simple add up and divide, but the order of forums will always be correct. Viking Chat has been fab competitors in other games we've shared!! We’ll also have some notable entries from media, press and public figures to spice it up too. And any individual can enter too, without being affiliated to any football forum, no problem there, in which case go to Royals Rendezvous  in "Rivals, but Friends" where just in this section any non-registered member is able to post. But over 90% of entries will probably come from well-known sites like yours ... which is what I encourage.



Just one plea - Please use the team names given above, it's a pain in the a**e translating entries from WBA or W.B.A., or putting Manure or Chelski or worse etc, so that the Sunderland automatic process stands some chance. Although you may know who the **** are, the computer doesn't! Thanks!! 


And enjoy it!  But think hard before committing pen to paper, this selection will last you all season!! (If you change opinion and ideas, then please make a new post and not simply edit, in case I don't get to read your change).
ALL entries in before kick-off day in the Premier which is 17th AUGUST 2013 (and if possible don't leave it to the final day, it will strangle us!!!).

It’s dead easy, as I said. Here’s my entry …

Manchester City
Chelsea
 Manchester United
Tottenham Hotspur
Liverpool
Arsenal
West Ham United
West Bromwich Albion
 Everton
Sunderland
Newcastle United
Fulham
Stoke City
Norwich City
Swansea City
Cardiff City
Crystal Palace
Hull City
Southampton
Aston Villa


Your post will look like this, but with your order. Please copy and paste the teams so the spelling is similar, this is a plea from the organizers!

Please don’t get offended with my selection, whether a team too high or too low,  every place has to be occupied with a team, it’s never personal!


OK, get them coming in lads … we do all the rest! Plenty of time yet, the premier season doesn’t start till the 17th August!!


But we’ve already started - already nearly 100 guesses in from a dozen club forums in a couple of days … looking most promising.
Top entries so far are from –

HULL CITY – Not 606 Hull board 19
NEWCASTLE - The Toon Forum 14
FULHAM – Friends of Fulham 12
BARNSLEY – Talk of the Tarn Forum 10
READING – Royals Rendezvous 9
CARDIFF – Cardiff City Forum 5
Talk Of The Terrace (National Forum) 4
BLACKBURN – Roverstalk 3


PS - if I have placed this topic in the wrong section, then of course please transfer it to where best it should be ...

Thanks guys, I'll do a big general update at the weekend. But I can say there are more than 275 from 30 different forums now; we're a team of four people trying to keep up with entering the guesses on the big Sunderland computer!!

Here’s a big update lads, as promised. Firstly, many thanks to all for your involvement. We are taking this seriously, it’s not any old thread and then forgotten. The idea is to provide you all with season-long entertainment, as you’ll see when we kick off on 17th August as the season starts. Actually, there was a bit of minimal doubt from just a couple of posters that we’d not do anything after putting up the thread, but I hope these kinds of progress reports are a good kind of proof of how we want to do the thing. This “analysis” is taken at the 325 entry mark, just 2 or 3 days ago, but we are way beyond that now!

If you take the entries here on your site, and make an average one, we’d come up with this from this forum:

1    Chelsea
2    Manchester City
3    Manchester United
4    Arsenal
5    Tottenham Hotspur
6    Liverpool
7    Everton
8    Swansea City
9    West Ham United
10    Fulham
11    West Bromwich Albion
12    Sunderland
13    Southampton
14    Newcastle United
15    Aston Villa
16    Norwich City
17    Cardiff
18    Stoke City
19    Crystal Palace
20    Hull


But further still, if we were to make an average out of ALL the first 325 members, this is the ‘average favourite’ of ALL entries:


   Combined
   
   
1    Chelsea
2    Manchester City
3    Manchester United
4    Arsenal
5    Tottenham Hotspur
6    Liverpool
7    Everton
8    Swansea City
9    West Bromwich Albion
10    West Ham United
11    Fulham
12    Newcastle United
13    Southampton
14    Aston Villa
15    Sunderland
16    Norwich City
17    Stoke City
18    Cardiff City
19    Hull City
20    Crystal Palace


The forum entries, including the latest arrivals stand currently at:

SWANSEA – Planet Swans 34
HULL CITY – Not 606 Hull board 29 (32, but includes  3 incorrect at present = 29)
NORWICH CITY – Not 606 Norwich Board 23
LEICESTER – Foxes Talk 22
WATFORD – WFC Forums 20

BLACKBURN – Roverstalk 5  (6, but includes  1 incorrect at present = 5)
BURNLEY – The Longside 5
CARDIFF – Cardiff City Forum 5
WIGAN – This Northern Soul 5

CRAWLEY TOWN –  CTFC Net 4
SUNDERLAND – Black Cat Chat Forum 3
Individual Non-affiliated Entries  2
MANCHESTER  UNITED – United Lounge Forum 1
NOTTINGHAM FOREST – The A Block 1

Only three forums have not taken up the invitation, and two of those want to do so before the season starts


This is a staggering 372  entry guesses / from 32 forums !


The premier league season doesn’t start until 17th August, entries are allowed until 11.59 on 16th August, so we’re aiming for an entry of 500 so that we can really say this is a national game of interest and importance.

It is even possible for those not affiliated to forums to try; in this case you’d need to leave an identification name, plus ideally your town/city and certainly your team on this following thread:  http://royalsrendezvous.co.uk/topic/9919624/4   Where non registered members ARE able to post.

As we kick off, monthly and usually fortnightly updates will be available on here – usually your own members’ progress and the top 50 or so of the national charts. For a comprehensive complete run-down on everywhere you will be able to find it on the organizing Sunderland Black Cat Chat forum, at:
http://www.blackcatchat.info/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3977&p=34283#p34283 

And as a second option I have a back-up on the “Talk of the Terrace”, useful too because it’s a national forum:
http://www.talkoftheterrace.net/showthread.php?5454-Inter-Forum-PREMIER-Positions-Game-2013-14/page4  That same Royals Rendezvous thread previously mentioned will also have everything covered as a third option!

Tell your friends!


I’ll do another big update next weekend, but I’ll be on here to comment anything or any queries during the week, no worries …

WEST HAM – Cockney Boys Forum 4
NOTTINGHAM FOREST – The A Block 3
SUNDERLAND – Black Cat Chat Forum 3
Media & Communication 3
MANCHESTER  UNITED – United Lounge Forum 2


Next weekend, last weekend before the Premier League kick-off I’ll have the national average selection and your forum average entry once more …
For now though, you might be interested to see the proposed table by Oddschecker, who have made averages from 24 different betting firms. From all of  those, you’d get this average:

Manchester City
Chelsea
Manchester United
Arsenal
Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspur
Everton
Newcastle United
Southampton
Aston Villa
West Bromwich Albion
Swansea City
Fulham
Sunderland
West Ham United
Stoke city
Cardiff City
Norwich City
Hull City
Crystal Palace

--------------------------------

Generosity!  Anyone can change their selection up to day before kick-off.

If you wish to change opinion in the light of transfers etc. then simply write your NEW selection and include it as a NEW post on this thread and I’ll include it as ‘good’; much better than going back and editing your initial post, because I'm bound to miss that!

Next weekend I’ll give all the entrants lined up on each forum; check your name to make sure I have spelt you perfectly correctly (capital and small letters, hyphens etc…)

Have a good week, and still almost two weeks for more entries!!

Progess Report

If, after 533 entries the total guesses are evened-out for a big average, the final league table would look like this:

1.   Chelsea
2.   Manchester City
3.   Manchester United
4.   Arsenal
5.   Tottenham Hotspur
6.   Liverpool
7.   Everton
8.   Swansea City
9.   West Bromwich Albion
10.   West Ham United
11.   Fulham
12.   Newcastle United
13.   Southampton
14.   Sunderland
15.   Aston Villa
16.   Norwich City
17.   Stoke City
18.   Cardiff
19.   Hull
20.   Crystal Palace

But, there are normally one or two surprises, it’s very unlikely that the real table will be as ‘average’ fans say, it hasn’t other seasons - so use your intuition if you haven’t entered yet! Still nearly one week before we start – entries till next Friday, DAY BEFORE PREMIER LEAGUE KICK OFF!!

Please check I’ve spelt your name correctly! Or haven’t missed you!
