The Official Prediction Competition

[benisright]

Okay, we did this last year and it was much fun (mainly because i won).

You are allowed to edit up to and including the 18th March. Anything edited after that time will be null and void (Because last year we closed on the 19th).

6 bands on main each day

3 bands on nme

1 special guests slot is allowed, and you are allowed to put a band in brackets to cover your back.

There is a point system for the accuracy of your prediction: 1 point for correctly guessing a band, 2 for band in correct position, and 3 for correct band/position/day. Please specify whether you are doing it for Leeds or Reading - even if it will be clear from your predictions. Copying is completely allowed, but against the spirit of the game.

Its exactly the same as last year, except last year i won with 49/81. If anyone beats that this year i will majorly tip my hat to them, as the rumours are very scarce

My prediction..................(and it will get edited)

Not many of you want the easy points for 36 Crazyfists then...?

[Thisisnotasmile]

I read the OP as "Guess bands who are going to play". Since we know they're going to play (Or at least I do), guessing them would get you points...

The OP isn't really clear on scoring though. When you say bonus points for getting the correct 'position' does this mean if you put someone third on main they have to play third on main? Or if you put them on main they have to play main? I read it as the latter, but I may be wrong.

Anyways, I'm not playing since I don't know indie bands and would have about 3 bands on my prediction for the whole weekend... You lot can predict as you wish. I just thought it was strange that people weren't predicting a band that have self-confirmed to be playing...

Wow... was not expecting to be THIS clueless THIS late on...

Just as an aside I believe Weezer will be mainstage special guests on the Sunday, but they won't be there on the 30th so I didn't bother putting them in.

Don't have a clue if Florence or Friendly Fires are big enough, they just have cool names and were strong rumours.

Edited March 17, 2009 by beLIEveR

No one thinks they're big enough for the slots avaliable... obviously.
