Hi everyone, hopefully no one has had the same idea as me, but I have had this prediction game where players can predict the top 100 chart run for a single which has debuted in the top 100. Here are the basic rules:

Rules

• Predict any songs in the current top 100 which has debuted in the top 100 for the first week, but was not in the 1-100 range the previous week.
• You may only predict the songs between Sunday 4PM (top 100 published 7PM) until Tuesday 4PM (midweek chart). You may NOT predict after the 4PM, this includes editing your posts!
• You must predict the positions for each week you think the song will be at. You can predict as many weeks as you like.
• Every Sunday evening (sometimes through Monday), I will post in this thread the allowed single runs to predict. You may predict runs for all or some of them. As each week passes, the positions per week are compared and the scores are documented.

Scoring
Because the debut position is NOT predicted, the other weeks predicted are compared by position to the position the single was at on that week. A correct match is 50 points (meaning the same position predicted at and its resulting position on the same week), and each position difference is 1 point off of 50. For example, predicting song X to be at 63 on its 12th week when it actually ends on 80 awards the player 33 points, because the player was 17 positions off, so 50-17 is 33. Each position predicted per week is calculated this way, so when the run has been completed (it can take months), the scores are totalled by week to a grand total.
Also, predicting correctly when the song drops out awards 50 points. Each extra week predicted is -2 points and each week not predicted while it stays in the chart is also -2 points.

Example
It's always easier explaining games by example.

Song A is currently new at 5. You may predict the position in the chart it will be the following week, and consecutive weeks after that, until you predict it will drop out of the top 100. You have until 4:00PM on Tuesday to predict the song's ENTIRE top 100 chart run until it leaves the top 100. Remember you cannot change any of your predictions for that single after the deadline.

Each week you must compare the position you predicted the song to be at against the song's actual position. See the scoring section above for how to score. If you predict the song to drop out too early, each week the song stays in the chart after the predicted dropout week is minus 2 off your score. If the song you predict drops out earlier than predicted, each extra week you predicted in the chart is also minus 2. You must do the whole chart run predictions for that single BEFORE the Chart Update, and you have until then to alter your predictions as well.


If the song re-enters while your predict run is still predicted in the chart, you will still be given points for the matches. But if you predict it to dropout during that re-entry period, you still get -20!

Remember, the debut position (the first week) is NEVER predicted.

Week Predicted Position Actual Position [Collapse] Points taken
Week 1 N/A 4 N/A
Week 2 9 7 48
Week 3 10 7 47
Week 4 17 9 42
Week 5 20 16 46
Week 6 22 18 46
Week 7 28 24 46
Week 8 26 26 50
Week 9 26 31 45
Week 10 33 41 42
Week 11 39 47 42
Week 12 45 50 45
Week 13 56 65 40
Week 14 76 51 25
Week 15 OUT 39 -2
Week 16 OUT 53 -2
Week 17 89 78 39
Week 18 99 OUT -2
Total Score: 597

In this example, the single dropped out at W15, but the player didn't predict it to on that week, therefore, that week scored -2 points as well as the next week. However, it re-entered the next week while the player predicted, so points were earned on that week. Week 18 saw the player predict it to dropout but it was actually in the chart on that week, so that week also scores -2.

this game seems a bit complicated but I'll probably get the hang of it soon . I'm not sure how many people would actually be playing this as it's never been done before but you may as well give it a go.

Thanks! I'll show you how to play in detail on Sunday!

It's really not as complex as it may seem, though the scoring theory may look complicated but that is my job , the role of the players certainly isn't.
I only wanted to predict Blame and WWE since I have no idea what the others will do.

Posted by: hotchoc26 14th September 2014, 11:52 PM

I originally didn't allow entries for debuts in the 41-100 range, because it would often be a good chance of it dropping out the next week, therefore predicting it to do so would only get you a few points. If anyone thinks this should be introduced, I may reconsider
By the way, thanks for showing interest in the game guys, I wasn't expecting this many players and it's only been 5 hours or so!

Posted by: M¤th 15th September 2014, 12:09 AM

Very confused but I'd love to participate! Just as a suggestion maybe you can have us predict the Top 40 runs? I feel like that could capture the essence of the game without creating too much confusion for the player.

I'm not sure i completely understand your post. Did you mean you suggested predicting any top 40 song regardless of its status?

He means it would be far easier if we only had to predict the part of the chart run where the song is in the top 40

Posted by: hotchoc26 16th September 2014, 08:57 AM

I wasn't going to consider doing that because it seemed more 'fun' to have to predict the tip 100 runs. I've decided next week to allow predicting ANY debut to the Top 100...

Posted by: hotchoc26 16th September 2014, 04:00 PM

The game is now CLOSED to any new players wanting to predict the singles for Game 1. Remember, the predicted runs will have to wait until both the actual song drops out and the predicted run is predicted to drop out by the player. I plan to upload an image of a table from Excel to show clearly the predicted runs, scores and the actual runs and update them weekly.

Posted by: hotchoc26 16th September 2014, 07:00 PM

Rush, I've noticed you have predicted re-entries for some of your singles. May I remind you that you only predict up until it drops out for the first time, so your predicted run up until your first 'x' is the run you are playing

Posted by: hotchoc26 17th September 2014, 05:46 PM

I must clearly indicate that you may not edit your runs past the deadline of Tuesday 4:00PM. This includes editing your post of your predictions. I don't like to think anyone is cheating, but it makes it flow much easier

Posted by: hotchoc26 17th September 2014, 06:21 PM

I've created a spreadsheet on which the predicted runs and scores are kept. There is a table of its current status on the first page. Please say if I've made any mistakes

Let's see how our predicted runs are doing so far in the midweeks!

Tuesdays do not publish the full top 40, but we were able to see Blame at 5. The average (or combined) run for Blame was 3, of which no one predicted it to full as much as 5.

Wednesday showed Blame fall to only 4, which Chez Wombat, myself , Jason and M*th predicted. Walking With Elephants made a fall of 14 to 20, which no player predicted it to fall as low as. M*th and Riser predicted it to fall to 18. Its combined prediction was 15. New Flame fell 11 to 21 which no one correctly predicted, but Neil S was the closest by predicting it at 20. Its combined prediction was 17. Centuries fell to 36 which no one correctly predicted, but Jason was the closest at 38.

Remember, this is only the MIDWEEK CHART, so the resulting predictions have not been confirmed as correct or incorrect.

This week's Chart Update also sees the following singles to predicct:

Sigma ft. Paloma Faith - Changing (1)
Professor Green ft. Tori Kelly - Lullaby (2)
Hozier - Take Me To Church (35)
Kid Ink ft. Usher & Tinashe - Body Language

And a few of the iTunes singles which may reach the top 100:

Joel Compass - Girlfriends (58)
The Script - Army of Angels (60)
Vance Joy - First Time (64)
The Script - Hail Rain Or Sunshine (65)
Chris Brown - X (67)
Alesso - Tear The Roof Up (70)
Lenny Kravitz - The Chamber (85)

Posted by: hotchoc26 21st September 2014, 06:10 PM

Let's see how the first predicted positions are doing against their actual postions!

We see Calvin's Blame fall from 1 to only 2, despite it being only a drop to 5 on Tuesday's update and then 4 on the Wednesday, which sees 6 players who predicted a drop to 3 gaining 49 points and the other 4 who predicted a drop to 4 48 points.

Ten Walls went from 6 last week to 20 this week with Walking With Elephants. Riser and M*th were the closest predictors for this week for this single predicting it at 18 with 2 positions out, gaining 48 points each. hotchoc26 was the furthest away with 9 positions out and gaining 41 points

Chris Brown's New Flame fell from 10 to 27 this week. It fell only to 21 on Wednesday. Rush was the closest by predicting 25 and being 2 positions out, gaining 48 points. Chez Wombat was the furthest predictor by predicting 9 and being 18 positions out, gaining 32 points.

Centuries by Fall Out Boy went from 22 to 37 this week. It was 36 on Wednesday. Jason was the closest by being only 1 position out by predicting it at 38 and gaining 49 points. Therm was the furthest predictor by predicting it at 19 and being 18 positions out, gaining 32 points.

Posted by: M¤th 5th October 2014, 05:04 PM

It was probably an accident ~ Some of the thread was merged with the album chart thread, bizarrely.

Posted by: hotchoc26 5th October 2014, 05:05 PM

Well whatever dumb mod did it, they better put it back.

Posted by: Jester 5th October 2014, 05:06 PM

Calm yourself down, please.

The mods work very hard here and don't just delete things for no reason. I am sure things will work themselves out.

Posted by: JosephStyles 5th October 2014, 05:10 PM

It's not in the trash can at all so maybe it's been merged with something else accidentally? I know some of Thermo's game got merged with the iTunes Album Chart thread for whatever reason.

EDIT: Look what I've found in the iTunes Album Chart thread http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=161136&view=findpost&p=4822999 so I assume the entire thread is there. Someone made a mistake I'm sure and it should be able to be split out again!

Posted by: hotchoc26 5th October 2014, 05:10 PM

I hope they do. When (if ) the thread is restored can you move the above post to the old one? Yes we all make mistakes but I just panicked when I couldn't get to it and was worried that deleted topics weren't restorable

Will the old thread reappear in the UK Charts Thread where it was (by last post)?

Posted by: hotchoc26 5th October 2014, 05:11 PM

Oh no! What does merge mean?

Seriously how can you accidentally merge topics together like this?

Posted by: JosephStyles 5th October 2014, 05:14 PM

Combining the two threads! It's quite an easy mistake to make actually, I've not done it myself but I can see how it could be done. Hopefully a chart mod will be able to split it for you, and if not, at least you know where the posts have gone

Posted by: Jester 5th October 2014, 05:14 PM

Stop demanding and insulting the mods. That is not how to get on here.

Posted by: hotchoc26 5th October 2014, 05:17 PM

I apologise

I must confess Sundays are busy for me which explains why I've been a bit impatient

I hope it'll get fixed tonight

Posted by: Jester 5th October 2014, 05:18 PM

I am sure it will be fixed at some point.

Posted by: hotchoc26 5th October 2014, 06:28 PM

All predictable song runs are now added

I will put up the updated scores for previous weeks when the other thread is fixed

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 5th October 2014, 06:30 PM

I'm not blind can you use smaller font size, and please read your PMs.

Posted by: Neil. S 5th October 2014, 06:32 PM

I'm sure if the thread 'had been' deleted then you could've always kindly asked one of the mods if it was in the trash can or to bring it back up again

Posted by: { bré } 5th October 2014, 06:34 PM

I have no idea how someone managed to merge your thread but it was clearly an accident.

Posted by: hotchoc26 5th October 2014, 06:37 PM

Apologies. I thought I put it at 5

I rarely put anything to size 7

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 5th October 2014, 06:42 PM

I'm unable to merge at the moment too busy with other issues, just copy the posts into this thread topic.

Posted by: hotchoc26 5th October 2014, 06:43 PM

That's fine. I'm sure another mod could have the time to do it

He has the same avatar and the username (without the s). It's easy to recognise them. If not look at past posts

Posted by: • Josh • 13th October 2014, 06:27 PM

You can go on their member profile, and where it says 'options' underneath the personal photo one of the pop ups that come up after you click the options button is 'view member's display name history' or something along those lines and you can see their previous names and stuff

Posted by: hotchoc26 14th October 2014, 05:07 PM

Well only me and Rob S played this week

I've temporarily added the player scores and by week to the first post.

I admit I was pretty lucky predicting Blank Space 99>1

This is because both my prediction and the run dropped out in the same week. Because you don't predict re-entries, there is no advantage nor disadvantage of my prediction. Whether or not it re-enters/whatever my scores will be safe. Had a predicted something like 99-89-70-60-47-31-16-23 etc. I would be losing points for predicting weeks where it does not appear, but then as I earn points for (if/when) it re-enters, and if I predict weeks to short after it re-enters, I would be losing points until it drops out again. This risky move proves that maybe predicting something that charts early and re-enters will probably be better to predict only before it is officially released, as there may be a possibilty of a lower score or even minus points...

Posted by: SPINNING ADAM 16th November 2014, 01:03 PM

I've been a bit slack with updating the weeks' predictions, so I've just spent an hour adding them to the spreadsheet. I'm a bit busy to update anything else atm so if you wish to know how anyone's predictions are doing just post below

Today's predictions will be posted any time after 7:00PM.

I sure had fun predicting Yours and Listen To The Man. Am I right in thinking Yours is charting early and is going to be released 30/11/14?

I'm just spending this evening working on college work, but hopefully I'll be updating player overall scores tomorrow

Posted by: SPINNING ADAM 17th November 2014, 07:18 PM

I've just had an idea. I could make a separate score total for runs matching the sales only chart as well, which could act as a 'what-if there was still sales only' chart. It's just an idea atm but I may possibly add it to the scores in the week if I have time...

Will have this open specially until SUNDAY 4PM since there's no midweek charts

Posted by: SPINNING ADAM 3rd January 2015, 10:13 PM

I have decided I will instead be posting the results for any runs that have finished (both in the chart and your predictions) and check for updates every Sunday. I may decide to host this again if there is enough interest

Posted by: SPINNING ADAM 4th January 2015, 07:04 PM
