Members who have been entering the chart prediction game will have noticed that no results have been published recently. The whole chart team would like to apologise for this. Spiidey has been very busy recently and has been unable to post the results. However, we aim to have all the results published over the next few weeks.

 

From this week, the game has a new host. Me. Until the old results have been announced I will only be giving the weekly scores. I will resume posting the leader boards when we have caught up and I have worked out how to use the spreadsheet!

 

There are no significant changes to the rules. The game has been working well so there doesn’t seem to be a need to make any radical changes. The only change will be that I will not be setting bonus questions based on the iTunes chart.

 

So, here goes with this week's competition.

Chart Singles Prediction Game

Chart Sunday 24th April 2011

 

 

WEEK 16 IN 2011!!!

 

 

The predictions are broken down into two sections:-

 

 

SECTION A

 

In this section, you will predict where 14 songs are going to be in the following Sunday's Top 75 chart.

 

In this section, you should predict for each song a position between 1 and 75 based on where you think that song will chart within the Top 75. If you think the song will chart outside the top 75 (i.e. position 76 or lower) you should use the notation "75+".

 

The point scoring for these 14 songs is:-

10 pts if spot on with your prediction (therefore a maximum of 140 points to play for in this section);

9 pts if your prediction is out by 1 position, 8 pts if your prediction is out by 2 positions, down to 1 pt if your prediction is out by 9 positions and zero points if your prediction is out by 10 or more positions;

If you think a song will not make the Top 75, you can predict that song to be 75+ (i.e. any position outside the top 75). If this is correct, you will get 5 points;

If a song charts in a position between 76-84 (e.g. 77), and you have predicted that song to chart at a position between 67-75 (e.g. 70), you will still score the "normal" points - in the example given, you would score 3 pts;

If a new single is pulled from release or non-chart eligible then everyone's prediction for that question will be void and everyone will be awarded 5 points.

 

 

 

SECTION B

 

In this section, you will predict the answer to THREE bonus questions

 

Each bonus question is worth 20 Pts (therefore giving a maximum of 60 points from this section).

 

 

 

 

Therefore there will be a maximum of 200 Points [140 points in Section A, and 60 points in Section B] to gain.
