A new season means another year of the prediction competition
Prediction Competition 2019 Rules
Predictions will be made for the 29 weeks of Superleague matches.
Predictions should be made before the first game of the weekend kicks off, any predictions made after this will only score for any games that haven't started at the time of posting.
Correctly predict a draw: 5 points
Correctly predict the right winning team and the right margin: 3 points
Correctly predict the right winning team, but not the right margin: 1 point
Anything else: 0 points
The top 5 scorers at the end of the regular season (after 29 weeks) will be eligible for the end of season play-off prediction competition.
In the event of 2 players tying on points at the end of the regular season, the criteria for breaking the tie will be the person who has predicted the most scores exactly correct during the season.
In the event of 2 players still being tied, then the player who has had the smallest combined margin in error throughout the season will progress.
Rules for play-off competition
The play off system will mirror the structure of the play-offs (ie the person finishing first in the prediction table will get a bye in the first week of the play offs)
The usual scoring system will apply but in the event of 2 players scoring an equal amount of points, the tie-breaker will be the player with the smallest combined margin of error over the week's play-off games (the score at 80 minutes being the one used)
If this is also equal, the player who finished higher in the regular season will proceed in the competition.
The winner of the Prediction Competition Grand Final will win a 2020 Rhinos home shirt.
