Reading v Blackpool (FA Cup) - - - - Match 29 2019-2020 Prediction League

[Snowball]

+2 for postings up to thirty minutes before team announced

+4 for early postings (by 23:59 day before game)

+0 for postings after team announced (unfair advantage)

+2 for correct format as per usual

So, to clarify, post the correct format before midnight Friday
for Saturday games and you bag 6 points whatever the result


=========================================


Example Post

Reading 2-0 Blackpool HT
Reading 3-1 Blackpool FT


Reading to Score First <<<<<<<<<<


20 Loader
37 Adam
==========
55 Blackpool
79 Olise




If you want points for stating:

Team X to Draw from Behind <<<<<
Team X to Win from Behind <<<<<<

This MUST BE explicitly stated



The above is an "example" prediction, not mine (unless I forget to post!)

In the event of me failing to post a separate prediction, this will count as mine


=====================================================================

REMINDER(s)

So far it's only happened once, but getting the first Reading Scorer/Time and
subsequent scorers in correct sequence earns a shed-load of points. Clearly
for that you must have put goal-times down. Some people don't.

Also First team to Score, XX to Win/Draw from Behind etc
must be explicitly stated to get the points eg

Plymouth to Score First <<<<<
Reading to Win From Behind <<<<

A fair few Nobbers might be correct (if I trawl through goal times etc)
but they don't get the points if they didn't make the statement.

+4 for early postings (by 23:59 day before game)
+2 for postings up to thirty minutes before team announced
+0 for postings after team announced (unfair advantage)

+2 for correct format as per usual

ALSO ADDING AN EXTRA POINT FOR EXACT TIME OF FIRST READING GOAL
WHEN PREDICTING TIME BUT NOT THE RIGHT PLAYER.

(FOR SWANSEA GAME TWO NOBBERS HAD THE 90TH MINUTE EQUALISER SPOT ON)

BTW I am adding a point for getting the exact time of the first RFC goal (but wrong player)

For the Fulham game URZZZ got the time smack on (14th minute)

In future that gets a bonus point, even with wrong player

Correct time within a minute (13-14-15) AND correct player and half-result is an extra 5 points

A Little Reminder

For games of a minimum of three goals
with both sides scoring

The rules have awarded points where the Nobber
gets the sequence correct, correct halves, with the
first Reading scorer correct (correct half)


Example, Saturday at Fulham

0-1 25 Swift
=====
0-2 50 Adam
1-2 65 Fulham

Note these times are not smack-on or plus/minus 1, they don't have to be

This earns a chunk of points, just for having the sequence
and "which half" correct. Get the times plus/minus 1 then
the scores can be massive.

Had you posted

Example, Saturday at Fulham

0-1 14 Swift (13, 14 or 15)
=====
0-2 48 Adam (47,48 or 49)
1-2 61 Fulham (60, 61, or 62)


You'd blow everybody out of the water



Three goal games is the minimum, and the points multiply
for 4-goal games and higher.

I don't include wins to nil as saying 2-0/4-0 is hardly interesting.

The spreadsheet I fill every game DOESN'T include every scorer/time
as it's just too much work.

if you think you have the sequence right FOR ANY GAME THIS SEASON
(three or more goals, both sides scoring, correct goal sequence and
"in the correct half", let me know.

I may easily have missed some.

To my knowledge we have only had this happen once, last season or the
one before (and, cough, cough, that was me!)

But trawl your predictions. You could be owed a shed-load of points
