New season, new (or same old if you prefer) predictions league.
I’m taking up the baton from paulwalker71 and will be doing my best to run it as smoothly as he did over the last two seasons.

Here’s how the scoring works:
1. Correctly predict winning side = + 1 point
2. Correctly predict winning side and the exact winning margin = + 5 points
3. Correctly predict every winner of each game in the round = + 10 points
4. Correctly answering the BONUS prediction = + 5 points

So a total of 50 points up for grabs per weekly round of 7 matches.

I’ll try to get score updates and weekly matches up on Mon/Tues of each week.

Here are the games for Week 1:

Leigh vs Toulouse
Batley vs Barrow
Bulls vs Featherstone
Rochdale vs Dewsbury
Sheffield vs Swinton
Widnes vs Halifax
York vs Toronto

Everybody predicting drop goals needs to take account of the fact that it will mean some matches ending with an odd numbered victory margin



Just saying

Leigh vs Toulouse, Toulouse by 10
Batley vs Barrow, Batley by 14
Bulls vs Featherstone, Bulls by 13
Rochdale vs Dewsbury, Dewsbury by 20
Sheffield vs Swinton, Sheffield by 18
Widnes vs Halifax, Widnes by 22
York vs Toronto, Toronto by 30

1 drop goal

I was just thinking the exact same thing!
Quite a few posts that have every winning margin as an even number
and then predicting 1 drop goal!!



Maths obviously not a strong point for some people

It's completely illogical to predict an odd number score in RL since DGs are uncommon. Predicting 1 in 7 games is reasonable. Why risk losing points on a whim that a team might score a DGl?!
