CTO Prediction League

[+Gringo]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to attract more players to join the CTO prediction league. It's a Correct Score competition and involves all the Scottish Championship games. It is free to sign up but, unfortunately, there are no prizes - only bragging rights. Hopefully my screenshots below will guide you through the registering process.

Games start on 31 July. The competition is controlled by Scotty and myself.

Hope to see of you there.

Thank you

Definitely need a few more to sign up for this.  Only 9 were in it last season and Doofer's Mum came 2nd.  That can't be allowed to happen again!  Seriously though it is a great little challenge which only takes a couple of minutes to do before each round of league games.  It's a bit like betting but without losing any money.

I'll get @Caleyjag to join on this season, she's always looking for ways to beat me at stuff

When you are asked for detail after selecting “new user”, do your user id, password etc need to be the same as for the main site?

[Scotty]

you can set it the same if you want - for convenience - or setup different name/password, its an independent system. 

[Robert]

Cheers Scotty. I will sign up before the league season starts. 

[MissICT]

I’ll sign up too. A wee bit of good fun. 

[Jock Watt]

Look out - here I come . . .

[Robert]

That’s me signed up and week one predictions made.

Enjoying doing this Gringo. Looking at the updates for today, it looks like the Ayr - Arbroath game has had the half time score used rather than the full time one.

Thank you for pointing this out. I use Flash Scores web site to get the results which showed 0-2. I note they have corrected it now to 2-2. I can't see how to correct it so I've asked @Scotty assistance. 

 

[Scotty]

should be fixed now - the system allowed me to update the score to 2-2. please let us know if the points don't look right ... I thought I would have to amend manually right in the database itself but was able to do it from the admin section so just want to be sure .... 

[+Gringo]

Cheers Scotty. Thanks for doing this. Instruction received on edit for future reference. Table appears to have correct info as I only had 90 until the edit. 

[Robert]

As a first timer in this, what happens to predictions when games are postponed or, as with Raith - Dunfermline last night, abandoned?

Do the predictions carry forward for when the games take place or do we predict again?

Thanks. 

[Scotty]

yes they do. If we remember we will also change date so you can predict up to the new date. it will stay in the same week number though ....

[+Gringo]

The CTO Prediction League for the 2022-23 season is now up and running and awaiting your predictions.

Will last seasons winner caleyjag retain the bragging rights? Will I ever get more correct scores than Mrs Gringo?

It would be great if more folk joined in so, go on, log in sign up and play.

 

[Robert]

Thanks Gringo, I hope you get more participants as it’s good fun.

No bonus points for being the only player to remember to predict the score in every game??

Many thanks. I've decided to leave to fixture as shown as I'm not too sure how it would affect predictions already entered. PL players please take note. Thanks again.

[+Gringo]

Just a heads up folks...our Hamilton away fixture that was scheduled for the SFA Cup Semi Final weekend has been rearranged for Tue 18 Apr.

This fixture can be found in Week 35 of the fixture list.

[Robert]

Thanks Gringo. It’s as tight as the play off battle: only 95 points separate the top three….

[+Gringo]

Nip and tuck at the top. My best season ever in this game.
