With Rd 1 of the league starting on 28 Jan, it is time for the gaaboard posters to show the expert knowledge espoused on here.
Same rules as last year...predict a winner or predict a draw. Correctly picking the winner gets 1 point, correctly picking a draw gets 3 points. Competition entries close the Friday night at midnight (even if no games on the Saturday). You can change selections anytime up to the Friday midnight deadline.
I will post the games and you can list out your winners, or put the winner in boldface . Warning...I will use an automated system to transfer your picks, so if you list your picks in a different order to the way I post the fixtures, you will be hurting yourself.
For those interested in such things, a short summary of last year's games: Of the 112 games played, there were 47 home wins (near enough to 42%), 50 away wins (about 44.5%), and 15 Draws (just about 13.5%). I think it was "in hiding" that took the tactical route of picking mostly draws and home advantage is not great it seems.
There were a total of nearly 60 participants last year, although some dropped out for various (legitimate) reasons...hoping we can beat that number in Week 1.
I plan to post each round's results by late on the Sunday night, but if I don't get back in time from a game it might be Monday evening, so don't go all crazy worrying about my safety or something...and I will not state which games I attend either!
First named team is scheduled to be at home...but do your own due diligence on venue/time. I'll add the rules for the 4 finals as we get closer to that time.
Can David McKeown repeat as champion, or will someone else have a better algo? All to play for.
Any questions?
Next post will have the Rd 1 fixtures...enjoy.
