MAGIC 8 BALL (a goals & statistics game)

MAGIC 8 BALL - it's all about goals scored and match % possession with 'in-game' cards to play!

Can you, with a combination of skill and luck, end up with the highest points tally?



Please feel free to have a go at this.

You can make up to THREE entries:
The first one for yourself, the 2nd and 3rd can be for family members or even a pet if you like! (please state who they're for ie; wife, partner, son, dog etc...)



THE GAME
Select EIGHT of Forest's remaining LEAGUE fixtures that you think there will be a good chance of plenty of goals (total scored in the game, NOT just by Forest)

For each game you select, decide which team (Us or Opposition) will have the highest % possession in the game.


SCORING
For each game you select, you will then score as follows:

Example; You select the game against Cardiff at home and think Forest will have the highest % possession in that game.
The game finishes 2-2 and Forest have 52% of the possession.
You would then score 4(total goals in game) multiplied by 52 (Forest's % possession) = 208 points added to your tally.

If the game finished 0-0 you would score 0 multiplied by 52 = 0 points added to your tally.

If the game finished 2-2 but Forest only had 40% possession you would score 4 x 40 = 160 points added to your tally.



'IN-GAME' CARDS
Each entry you make (up to three entries each) will have TWO 'in-game' cards to play as and when you like, up to 24 hours before the games kick-off.

These are:
JOKER CARD - This card will DOUBLE the points tally you score for the game you select to play it for. Can be used ONCE only.

FLIP CARD - This card will change the team that is used for the % possession. If you'd picked the opposition it will alter it to use the % Forest has. Can be used ONCE only.

You do not have to use these cards if you decide not to.
To play one of these, post on here at least 24 hours before the games kick-off stating which entry it is being played for.



ENTRIES
Obviously, post your entry / entries on this thread.

Entries can be made at any time providing there's at least 8 or more league games yet to be played.

I would appreciate fixtures picked to be in the order they are in Forest's fixture list.

Use a 'V' to denote the home or away fixture... V Cardiff = the home game against Cardiff, Cardiff V = the away game against Cardiff.

Use 'U' (us) to denote you wish to use Forest's % possession, use 'O' (opposition) to denote you wish to use the oppositions % possession.

Examples;
V Cardiff U = you are selecting the HOME game to Cardiff with Forest's possession to be used.
Huddersfield V O = you are selecting the AWAY game to Huddersfield with Huddersfield's possession to be used.



LEADER TABLE
I will use Post #2 below to present a leader table for all entries made so you can how you're getting on.
It will show each entries current points tally, how many of your picked games have been played and will show when the JOKER or FLIP cards have been used.



RULES
Select EIGHT games only per entry.

Once posted, you can not alter any selected games.

Entries can be made at any time providing there are eight or more fixtures to be played.

Scores will be given against completed games only. Moved or abandoned fixtures will be scored against once they get replayed.

Percentage possession used will be as given on the BBC's Championship web pages. No other alternatives will be entertained.

In-Game cards can be played up to 24 hours before a game being played by posting your desire to do so on here. If requested less than 24 hours before kick-off the card will be lost (used but not actioned against).

Both JOKER card and FLIP card can be used for any of your selections (for the same selection should you wish) but used only once.

The game finishes only when ALL games selected on entries have been played. The winner is who has scored the most points. There may be tied winners if final points are the same.




Hope you fancy to have a go, hope you enjoy doing it and seeing how you get on!
Cheers,
GBR

lol. Soz Wes. Get a grip of yourself!

In a nutshell, pick 8 games you certainly don't think will end up 0-0 and decide for each game if you think Forest or the opposition will have the greater share of the % possession.

Total of goals in a game MULTIPLIED BY a teams % possession = POINTS. If a game ends up 0-0 you wouldn't be scoring anything.

Doesn't matter whether you think Forest will win, lose or draw - you're looking for goals galore!


Then offer up your selections as EXAMPLES below:

V Cardiff (= home game to Cardiff) followed by either U (Us) or O (opposition) for which sides % possession I'll use to work out your points.


Cardiff V (= away game to Cardiff) followed by either U (Us) or O (opposition) for which sides % possession I'll use to work out your points.


So; 'Cardiff V O' = away game to Cardiff, Cardiff's % possession to be used



Hope that helps mate.

You can hang on till nearer the time to see how the teams are panning out? - It's up to you of course.
Unless you post again to withdraw it I'll put it against the Luton away game for you.
