Prediction League 2017/2018 (5 Viewers)

[dutchman]

This must be what it is like sending messages into space in the hope that one day something comes back (although to be fair that would be a bit more scary/exciting if it did happen!)

And probably more likely than the Prediction League ever working again!

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Have I officially won this yet?

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

No

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

No

Was it you then ?

 

[Gazolba]

I predict the Prediction League won't work.

 

[dutchman]

If it's not going to work again I would sooner we were all put out of our misery rather than go through the charade of diligently filling in our predictions every week.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I stopped filling it in when Bradford Park Avenue's game was called off in the winter of 1963 - enough was enough

 

[Nick]

As it's not working anyway, I am going to see if I can hack it apart to try and fix it.

 

[Nick]

I think I have found a way to hack it now to add the results, have most people given up with it now though?

It means I can get something tidied up for next season so it works then.

 

[Astute]

Gave up weeks ago :shy:

 

[Nick]

Thats what I thought, it took me a while to hack the code about but I should be able to do it so I can input the scores and fixtures manually.

Not much point me spending hours doing it if everybody isnt doing it now

 

[Gazolba]

Pointless continuing now.
I entered my results for the entire season with the intention of refining them as the season went on and I continued doing that long after the results stopped being updated.
But even I have my limits, and I gave up on that quite a while ago.
What a total waste of time this whole thing has been!
I've spent hours analysing stats and league tables and entering results.

I think about a dozen of us still are?

 

[Nick]

If people are I'll finish coding it so I can insert the scores!

 

[dutchman]

If people can see their ranking improve - even after one week's results have been entered - they're more likely to continue playing.

Not when they have missed a month or two :smuggrin:

You could still finish ahead of me, I don't think I'm doing very well this season?

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Was it you then ?

I wish, I'm shit at this

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

I see Mondays games haven't worked again

 

[Nick]

No the games won't be automated, so it will be a case of going through every fixture and putting the score in.

Can do it if enough people would be happy with it and could just split the prize across top 3 or 4? Does that sound OK as I think it's probably about 3 or 4 people who have persevered all season.

 

[cov_george]

I've still been adding them in hope it got fixed

 

[Gazolba]

This season's league should be declared null and void.
It would not be fair to declare a winner since so many people who might have won gave up making predictions.

 

[Nick]

I am going to code one from scratch for next season, it might not be as pretty looking but it will work!

Any suggestions for improvements from the last one? (Besides working)

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

I'm in till the end of this season. If I win I will not care a jot that others have dropped out.
I bet I still come last

 

[Houchens Head]

Yeah, make all the results 2-1. I might win then! :emoji_smile::emoji_smile::emoji_smile::emoji_smile::emoji_smile:

 

[cov_george]

Just put my final predictions in for the season, going on past results for this season I think I've had a terrible season.

Good luck to all that have persevered through the whole season not knowing where you stand.

Looking forward to working prediction league next season

 

[Gazolba]

I expect there'll be a major drop in participation next season considering how much time we all wasted this season.
