TWTD Prediction League 2017/18 - Ipswich Town News
With the start of the new season only a day away, it’s time to register for the TWTD Prediction League 2017/18, while a number of Fantasy Football leagues will also be running.
The Prediction League — which doesn’t include cup matches — is essentially the same competition we’ve been running since August 2000. You predict the score and first scorer of each match and you get points based on your accuracy.
You get three points if you get the scoreline spot on, plus a bonus of the number of goals in that game (so an accurate prediction of 1-3 would get you three points and a bonus of four).
If you don’t get the score right but correctly guess that it will be an away win, for example, you’ll be awarded one point. You get two points for predicting the correct first Town scorer.
The overall winner of the competition will receive £150 in Amazon vouchers. Last year’s competition was jointly won by Hatch and KTBlue, belated congratulations to them.
To get started, go to our Prediction League page and enter your predictions for Saturday’s opening game against Birmingham at Portman Road.
You can make any number of predictions for a match, but only the last one will count. So, if Mick McCarthy suddenly lands his fourth striker late on Friday afternoon and you think the new man will bag a debut goal, just log in and change your prediction.
You can find details of TWTD’s Fantasy Football leagues and one set up by forum poster Chiddley here.
