The BOING Predictions Contest 2009 / 2010

August 2008

Right, sorry for the delay - it's been a busy few months here at BOING Towers. The predictions contest for the 2009/2010 season is now open for entries so you've got just a week to get 'em in. Fortunately the first game is a late kickoff for a long overdue return to Terrestrial TV, so you've got most of Saturday to get your entry in for the first match.

Playing the contest is simple. To sign up, you will need to be registered as a user on the BOING site - you'll be prompted to either log in or register at the appropriate point - and then just enter the contest by specifying a team name. Once entered, you can access the list of games included in the contest and enter your predicted numbers of goals for and against West Bromwich Albion. You get two points for getting the right result (win, draw or lose), one point for the correct number of goals scored, one point for the correct number conceded and one point bonus for getting all three correct. Predictions can be updated any time up till kickoff to take account of last minute team changes, injuries and signings, and you'll need to bear in mind that Cup games count too - so keep an eye on extra fixtures appearing in the list throughout the season. Bear in mind that in Cup games it's the result after 90 minutes that matters, regardless of extra time and penalties.

Having said at the end of the 2007/2008 season that we'd had two teams tied for first place for the first time ever, would you believe it - it happened again last season! Congratulations to Anthony Dickens and Jammdonut who finished level on 95 points and will both get a shirt of their choice or some equivalent alternative from the club shop. Or somewhere else.

This season, we've always got the possibility of the playoffs to use as a tie-break if we need to - except that we aren't going to be in them, are we...?

As ever, if you have any questions or problems, just get in touch through the Contact Us page and we'll do what we can to help. If you're unable to enter your prediction for some reason, send it through the Contact Us page before kickoff with your team name - but please make it clear who you're predicting to score what instead of just saying "2-1" or something.

Good luck!
