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!

Sign me up

Tornado 12-13-2004 04:31 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 05:03 PM

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

Mr. Nerfect 12-13-2004 06:32 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.

Kapoutman 12-14-2004 01:59 PM

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 02:35 PM

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

Goulet 12-14-2004 02:35 PM

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

Londoner 12-14-2004 02:42 PM

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

Tornado 12-14-2004 02:45 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 02:48 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 02:49 PM

When you gett 500, come back and re-signup

Tornado 12-14-2004 02:50 PM

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 02:54 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.
