:dance: :cheer:

 

I have decided to make a change to the scoring system as bonus points are playing too big a part in deciding the winner. It doesn’t help that some of the bonus questions have been too easy (which is my fault).

 

There will now be a maximum of 12 points for each song is Section A. This means that points will be scored if your prediction is within 11 places of the correct position rather than nine. The maximum score for Section A will now be 168 points.

 

That leaves 32 points for the bonus questions. The completely random question (based on things like then number of times the letter F appears in the top 40) will be worth eight points and the other two will be worth 12 points each.

 

So, here goes with this week's game.

 

 

 

 

Chart Singles Prediction Game

 

Chart Sunday 15 May 2011

 

WEEK 19 IN 2011!!!

 

The predictions are broken down into two sections:-

 

 

SECTION A

 

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:-

12 points if spot on with your prediction (therefore a maximum of 168 points to play for in this section);

11 points if your prediction is out by 1 position, 10 points if your prediction is out by 2 positions, down to 1 point if your prediction is out by 11 positions and no points if your prediction is out by 12 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 6 points;

If a song charts in a position between 76-86 (e.g. 77), and you have predicted that song to chart at a position between 65-75 (e.g. 70), you will still score the "normal" points - in the example given, you would score 3 points;

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 6 points.

 

 

 

SECTION B

 

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

 

The first bonus question is worth eight points and the other two are worth 12 points (therefore giving a maximum of 32 points from this section).

 

Therefore there will be a maximum of 200 Points [168 points in Section A, and 32 points in Section B] to gain.
