Welcome to the SS Premiership Tipping Competition for 2016/17. This competition will be using a similar but not exact same format as RR's A-League Tipping Competition.
Format:
- Depending on the amount of players there'll be one, two, three or more divisions. 8 players per league. There can be 8, 10, 12, 14, etc. players at the lowest division.
- 3 seasons (rounds 5 to 11, rounds 12 to 17, rounds 18 to final*).
- Promotion and relegation after each season.
- New Zealand Football Cup (via gameweeks during second or third season depending on number of players).
Anyone is welcome to join. If this competition has already begun you are welcome to still join at any stage starting at the lowest division if someone else also joins that same week because there must be an even number of players in any division. Obviously starting late will make it harder for you to be promoted the first season you play but nevertheless you are allowed to do so.
The last matchweek of each season will see the 6th placed player in each league (except bottom league) play a double gameweek against the 3rd and 4th placed players in the league below them in a relegation/promotion playoff. The player that defeats the other two will be promoted/not relegated.
1st and 2nd are automatically promoted and 7th and 8th are automatically relegated.
* Rounds 18 to final are the following (check Wikipedia for clarification): rescheduled Round 18 matches to be played on 4 & 5 March 2017; rescheduled Round 17 matches to be played on 12 March 2017; Round 18; Semifinals and Final.
For the first season I am still deciding whether to assort you each to random divisions or have one big division for everyone with divisions decided on each players' rankings in the first season.
Scoring:
- Home win: 2 points
- Draw: 3 points
- Away win: 3 points
- Correct win margin (must be exact): 1 bonus point
- When tipping: guess exact scoreline for 1 bonus point (0-0, 1-0, 2-2, etc.)
- So yes you can get 2 bonus points from 1 good prediction!
