National Hurling League Pools 2013

Hammer Archer

I must be crazy to run two pools competitions, but here goes.
I've decided to run a pools competition for the NHL this season as well. I actually prefer the NHL competition as it's much more difficult to predict the margins of victory and the knowledge of the average punter (myself included) of hurling teams tends to plummet as you get into divisions 2 and lower.
Here's the rules.

1.Each Monday I will post up the fixtures for the coming week and by Tuesday or Wednesday I should have the league table of posters and points for the previous week just gone.

2.Late comers will be accepted but points will be forfeited for any games missed.

3.Predictions will be accepted and valid by throw in time of the first game of the weekend. If you make/edit a prediction after the start of a game, your prediction for that game will be invalid. For example, the first league games of the season are at 7pm on February 23rd. If your predictions are made at, say, 8pm, your predictions for these games will not count.

4.The points system I am using similar to that used in the NFL pools. You get 2 points for predicting the winner of the game. Should a poster predict within 2 points of the winning margin,that poster will receive 1 bonus point. Should a poster predict a draw,the poster will receive 3 points and where a poster predicts a team to win but the result is a draw,the poster will get 1 point ONLY if the poster has predicted a winning margin of no more than 2 points. Needless to say if you predict a team to win and they lose you get no points.
In a slight change to the NFL scoring system (given the fact that hurling games are generally higher scoring than football), I'll award one point if a person predicts a draw yet the result is a 1 or 2 point win for either side.

Note: Only the result after 70 minutes will be counted (for use in the league finals)

5. Bonus points will be awarded at the end of the league for predicting the correct teams who get promoted and relegated respectfully (and predicting the NHL division 1 champion). More points will be available on prediction of the winner of the league finals/relegation playoffs. You get 2 points for each correct prediction for promotion and relegation
To those joining after the first set of fixtures are finished, these bonus point predictions can still be made, but a 25% penalty for each week missed will apply.
Note: Last season, there was no promotion/relegation between division 2B and 3A. If this is the case again this year, I'll consider the champion of division 3A to be "promoted" and the bottom team in division 2B to be relegated.
Keep in mind, unlike the NFL, only one team from each division is promoted and/or relegated.

6. Posters must predict promotions/relegations in their first post with their first round of predictions. I will provide the league tables to aid in decision making.

7. To cut out a lot of time, if posters consistently fail to post their weekly predictions, I'll remove them from the overall tables.

If anyone has any questions about the rules, feel free to ask here or to PM me.

Argh. No!
I used the GAA website for the fixtures and just assumed they were this week too. I'll edit my original post but no one needs to edit theirs. I'll leave these games out when I'm doing the scores.

First week and it's myself and North Cork Star who lead the way on 24 points. CorkWalsh2012 is just a point behind.

As if to prove that people's knowledge of the lower divisions ain't the Mae West, every single person predicted Monaghan to beat Donegal in division 3A, only for Donegal to hand out an 18 point drubbing to the Farney county.

Let me know if there are any mistakes. Once again, apologies for the mix up with division 3B which won't actually start for another 2 weeks.

There is one fixture from Division 2B next weekend which will be up in a minute.

Here is the template for the preliminary predictions and also the 1st round
Note: The division 1 champion can come from division 1B (the winner of division 1B qualifies for the semi finals of the NHL along with the top three from division 1A)

NHL1 Winner = Cork
NHL1A Relegation = Clare

NHL1B Promotion = Limerick
NHL1B Relegation = Carlow

NHL2A Promotion = Westmeath
NHL2A Relegation = Wicklow

NHL2B Promotion = London
NHL2B Relegation = Mayo

NHL3A Promotion = Louth
NHL3A Relegation = Tyrone

NHL3B Promotion = ????

My predictions above.

Cork were excellent last week. Fancy us to have a right go off it this year with Galway challenging hard too.

Clare were quite poor last week in the defeat to Waterford. Toss up between them and Waterford to go down. I went for Clare.

Limerick are the coming force of Hurling imo. They top 1B. Carlow are surely odds on to drop down!

Westmeath have won Christy Ring's in the past so they should be favourites there and Wicklow are surely cat! Kerry supposed to be struggling hugely again to field teams.

After that, nobody knows or cares really! Assuming Tyrone are diabolic!
