2016-2017 Arsenal Report Prediction League
Before every game you can now predict the outcome (win/draw/loss) and climb the leaderboards over the season and win a prize at the end! Anyone can join Arsenal Report in 30 seconds and start predicting. Prizes haven't been determined yet, but we'll have stuff for the top three predictors.
Rules:
To avoid people just making one accurate prediction and then stop (staying on 100% until the end), we will look at your attendance throughout the season (your predictions / number of matches played) and filter out people below a certain attendance. However, this is calculated based on when you registered, so new users can join mid-season and still be in the running. Attendance minimum will likely be around 60-70%.
To avoid people just joining before the last game of the season, we require the predictors to have made a minimum number of predictions throughout the season. Minimum will likely be around 6-10 predictions.
Don't be an arsehole. It's very easy for us to spot exploits.
That's it, start predicting! You can always find the next upcoming game on the home page.
I'll put together an overview to go on people's profiles so you can see exactly how you've predicted games in the past. Will help to see if anything has gone wrong as well.

with 50% of attendance, people tend to take safe approach when comes to prediction...

Yes, but if the leaderboard was about points instead, something as simple as
accuracy + attendance = prediction score
If we used that formula it would incentivise people to get a higher attendance. Using the above formula, the top 5 leaderboard would have ended like this:
...which makes more sense if you look at attendance.

I've changed it now to Prediction Points™. Accuracy + Attendance is the name of the game.

No complaints about the change from me. If only I had been betting for real money instead of for time with John Terry.

I'll have some prices for the top 3 in the summer, probably a home kit each.

Can I choose any ISIS leader? And is airfare to
