The 2005 PPV Predictions sign up thread
 
Ok, here's the deal. Tornado and I have been chatting and we have decided that we will do the Predictions thread jointly next year, so we don't end up with a Paranoid Rattlesnake scenario again.

For those who are new to these boards basically on the day of a PPV I or Tornado will post a thread with all the matches for that PPV. There will be a points system for each match (e.g. 5 points to guess the winner of a match and 5 points for how) we may chuck in a few extra points depending on event. So if it's the Royal Rumble we'd offer some points if you guess the 30th entrant.

Also on top of this we will spice things up by introducing a guess who thread for the end of next year. In other words you have to guess who will be champ for the different belts at the end of the year in January, which should shake things up and make everything a bit more exciting.

Now there are some rules before you sign up, they are as follows:

No Posters with less than 500 posts
We can only except sign ups before the first prediction thread if anyone tries after there predictions won’t count
Tornado and My words are final, if you have any disputes tough (i.e the way we scored for a particular finish of a match)

So if you want to be part of this for next year reply in this thread. Your last day to sign up will be New Years Eve.

Alrighty then, let the sign up begin!

Tornado 12-13-2004 05:31 PM

Yeah, as there's two of us this year, we'll both have a copy of the standings, so hopefully it won't get lost.
Also, we'll try to post current standings the day or so after the PPV.

Enjoy...:y:

I'm in, is there going to be a prize for winning or just bragging rights?

Tornado 12-13-2004 06:03 PM

More than likely just bragging rights, i.e put it in your sig, or custom title.

Mr. Nerfect 12-13-2004 07:32 PM

I'll sign-up. :y:

I think I remember doing alright at these, and hopefully I won't miss out on any events like last time. Just some ideas, do you think maybe something like 50 points for the currect order of matches, attire, order of eliminaiton (say at Survivor Series) or just something like that for us to guess. As like a permanent thing included in the predictions.

Yeah me & Dave will try to think of a bonus catagory for each PPV, such as Royal Rumble will have extra points for correct guesses on the last 4 left in the ring, first eliminated etc. Probably something of the lines of 5 extra points per guess, and an extra 10 or something if you get all four correct.

Also i'll start a Title Prediction Thread in January, in which you can predict who will hold each title on New Years Eve 2005. That'll be long the lines of 10 points or so per correct guess.


FINALLY, we have to come up with a snappy name for the league, 2005 Predictions sounds a bit plain.

You don't have 500 posts....http://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif

-edit- Yeah, NYR is the first PPV in the League. Already got the bonus catagory sorted for that. I won't say what it is as it'll spoil this weeks Raw.



Evil Vito 12-14-2004 03:35 PM

<font color=goldenrod>I'm in</font>

Goulet 12-14-2004 03:35 PM

just wondering why I can't sign up if I have less than 500 posts?

Londoner 12-14-2004 03:42 PM

Why is 500 posts so important? I should have them by the next ppv.

Tornado 12-14-2004 03:45 PM

In the past, people signed up for the League, did the first few, then stopped. 500 is a decent number and shows you are more than likely gonna be around for the duration. We don't want to have calculate 100's of entries for NYR, then have a load drop out.

Also, 500 has been the entry limit for the last few years.

Londoner 12-14-2004 03:48 PM

Well can't i just join anyway as an exception?(I'm god so i deserve to be the exception! j/k) Considering im likely to have 500 posts soon enough, and have been around for a while now anyway.I think it should be about how long youve been here for, not how many posts you have come to think of it.

Nervous Ferret 12-14-2004 03:49 PM

When you gett 500, come back and re-signup

Well this is the way it's always been done, we're trying to keep it as close to the original Tipsters League as possible. You can join if you have the required posts by the deadline.

Last year some guy started up "The Tipsters League for people with less than 500 Posts" and it fizzled out after the first PPV.

-edit- According to your profile, you'v been here about 6/7 months, if the limit was join date, it'd be around the 12 months mark.

Londoner 12-14-2004 03:54 PM

6/7 months? Goddamn! didnt realise time went by so quick lol Ill just comeback and sign up when ive got 500 posts then.

Because they are the limitations that Me and Dave discussed and set. We're not changing it just because one poster bitches about it. If you think it's unfair, don't join, simple as that. Also, i'm pretty sure I mentioned that 500 has always been the limit, and we're keeping this as close to the original Tipsters League as possible.

85 posts to got lad, tick tock, tick tock.....tick. tock.

Tornado 12-21-2004 08:11 AM

Just thought i'd give this a bump, for any people that still wish to join.

Hardkore Kidd J 12-21-2004 09:41 AM

Sign me up please.

Tornado 12-21-2004 01:45 PM

Right, this is kinda a "heads up" for all the people that have joined. Hopefully I can get Dave to edit the title so people will read it again.

On the 1st Jan (or 2nd depending on how good a night I have New Years Eve) me or Dave will post the first of what we hope to be many "Bonus" threads. The first one will be title predictions. We havn't nailed down the points structure yet, but you'll be required to predict whom you think will be the holder of each belt on December 31st 2005. We'll probably only set it at a small amount of points per correct guess, as it'd be pretty much hit and miss, and could change the enitre outlook.
Anyway, the thread should be up early Jan, and will remain open until 31st Jan. Any entries may be edited up to that date.
As I said, this is just a heads up, so you all have time to think.

edit - Also, as this bonus thing ends at the end of 2005, the winner of the 2005 League will hopefully be announced early January 2006.

Yup, 2 days people.

Look out for the 2005 Title Predictions Thread to be up this weekend some time, and the NYR Thread to be up either the friday or saturday before the show.

CYCLOPTERSAURUS 12-31-2004 05:58 AM

I'd like to join

Tornado 12-31-2004 07:23 AM

Deadline is midnight this evening. Or whenever me and Dave can post a "Thread Closed" message.

So, anyone else who wants to join, you have till the end of the day.

Me and Dave are more than likely gonna share the workload this year, i'm gonna take the top half of the list, Dave will take the bottom, so we don't end up doing each others results. We'll put them together after each show, and do our best to keep an up to date leaderboard.
If anyone has any suggestions or objections to this, let Dave or Me know.

Jonster 12-31-2004 07:45 AM

Wow, I missed this completely until just.

I'm in.

Dave Youell 01-01-2005 03:07 PM
