Prediction League


The Prediction League competition is where fans can compete against each other, scoring points depending on how well they can guess the 'Cats will do.

If you would like to join please email me and I'll add you to the list. The rules and how the scoring works are detailed below.

Rules
For each Wildcats game (including Play-offs), entrants submit their prediction for the score together with who they think will be the Wildcats' Man of the Match.

On the Monday after each game, the predictions are evaluated against what really happened, and points awarded depending on how accurate the predictions were.

The Prediction League will run for the entire length of the season.

Predictions should be submitted by email to predictions@swindonhockey.co.uk and should follow the format:

Predictions for [name]
Home Team Score - Away Team Score
MOM Shirt number, Name

Predictions must be submitted by 3.00pm on the day of a game.

Predictions can be changed once made, but any amendments must be clearly marked as such, and be received before the deadline.

Predictions can be made as far in advance as you wish, but if the player chosen as your MOM does not ice, then a substitute MOM will not automatically be made.

In the event of a game being cancelled or abandoned, predictions will become null and void and no points will be awarded.

The Scoring

The maximum score for each game is 14 points. This breaks down as:
  • 2 Points for predicting the Wildcats score correctly
  • 2 Points for predicting the opposition's score correctly
  • 2 Points for correctly predicting the winning team (regardless of score)
  • 4 Bonus points for getting the match score 100% correct
  • 4 Points for correctly predicting the man of the match
An example...

For example, 'Fred' thinks that the Wildcats will beat the Scimitars 8-1 in the season opener, with new the Net minder picking up the beer. On Friday, he sends an email:

Predictions for Fred:
Wildcats 8 - Scimitars 1
MOM 1, Kudrna

Come Saturday afternoon, Wildcats actually win 8-2, with Matty Davies collecting the beer. For the predictions, Fred gets 2 points for getting the right number of Wildcats goals, and 2 points for correctly guessing that the 'Cats would win, making a total of 4 for the game.
