I'm running an IKTS for the Champions League and Europa League this year, for anyone who doesn't know what it is basically a score predictor game.

Shamefully copied and pasted from the IKTS website:

SCORING
After every Gameweek, scores will be calculated based on the accuracy of the Prediction vs the Actual Outcome of each game. Points are awarded as follows:

10 Points for the correct outcome of the match, that is home win or away win, but not the correct score, or goal difference or a draw between the teams. E.g. You predict Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea and the actual score is Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
15 Points for the correct outcome of the match with the correct goal difference but not the correct score. E.g. You predict Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea and the actual score is Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
20 Points for the correct prediction of a draw but not the correct score. E.g. You predict Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea and the actual score is Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea.
30 Points for the correct outcome of the match with the correct score. E.g. You predict Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea and the actual score is Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea.
-10 (minus 10) Points are awarded for an incorrect prediction of the outcome of the game. E.g. You predict Arsenal 0-2 Chelsea and the actual score is Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea.
In addition to the basic Scoring system described above, there are three additional items that can impact your Weekly score:

1. The Banker - This is played on the game you are most confident about. The Banker will double or treble your points for this game depending on the Banker Multiplier (x2 or x3). E.g. You predict Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea and the score is Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea, the 30 points gets doubled to 60. It is also the same for an incorrect prediction, so if you predict Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea, and Arsenal win 1-0 you score -20 (minus 20). Only one Banker can be played for each Gameweek of games.

2. Insurance - Is usually played on a match where the player is not confident of the outcome. Guarantees a score of no worse than 0 points (zero) for that game. E.g. You predict Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea and Arsenal win 1-0, but you played Insurance on this game, you would score 0 points. Insurance can only be played once for each Gameweek of games, and cannot be played on the same game as your Banker.

3. Banker Bonus - Is calculated based on the number of consecutive times you have correctly played your Banker. Each time (up to a maximum of four) that you correctly predict the outcome of a game (home win, away win, draw) you increase your Banker Bonus for the following week by 5. So if you have correctly played your Banker 3 weeks running, 20 points will be added to your weekly score.

Any questions just ask! First games aren't until 17th September so a while yet.

All you have to do is copy and paste and PM me with your predictions (either do it in brackets or remove the 'v' as long as it's clear)

To use your banker or insurance just type BANKER/INSURANCE next to the game so I know. Only 1 banker and 1 insurance allowed every week.

Not sure if i've missed anything, if I have just let me know ITT hopefully get a lot of players in, it's free to play but i'm hoping for a £10 sidepot as well if anyone else is interested.

For people who forget easily you can make all your predictions in one go if you like but i'll send a PM reminder to everyone a few days beforehand.

Feel free to change your predictions as much as you want until the deadline. First deadline is Tuesday 17th December, 5.45PM to get your 1st week predictions in

I'll also need someone who I can PM my own predictions to as I want to play as well or I can just post them ITT I suppose

In. In for side action too.

Surely first deadline is September.

IN
In for side action.

Thanks for running PC

Oops yeah first deadline is 17th September not December, i'll get a mod to edit it

probably in

are all bankers gonna be 2x multipliers or how is it determined whether 2x or 3x?

also the last sentence says 'So if you have correctly played your Banker 3 weeks running, 20 points will be added to your weekly score.' which doesn't seem consistent with what's written before it. Should that be 5 weeks running (as first week has no bonus, then 5 points each week after that)?

Let's make it 2x multiplier for the group stages and 3x for the knockout stages

And good catch with the whole banker thing, the IKTS website must have worded it wrong.



3 weeks running would be +10 points

Bump, haven't received any entries yet but i'm assuming they'll come nearer the time
