2015 Predication Game (First Announcement)

[kemosabe]

CUT OFF IS 12pm Tomorrow (25/11/14)

Right time for this again!

The normal rules are the following:

4 points - right artist, right position, right day, right stage
3 points - right artist and then two of right position, right day, right stage
2 points - right artist and then one of right position, right day, right stage
1 point - right artist

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

For this round you will need to predict one headliner and six other acts that you think will be playing R&L 2015.

Clearly you cannot guess the position or day at the moment so it will be one point for every act guessed correctly and one point for stage. Points will be carried over for future announcement prediction threads and at a later date you can guess the day and position to get those final two points.

Editing is allowed up to the day before the announcement, although at this time what day that is going to be is unspecified!

Any questions don't be afraid to ask

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dont know if it will help but here are the announcements from previous years

2014 - Blink-182 (Headliners), Jake Bugg (Main) , Disclosure (NME) , Metronomy (NME) , Of Mice & Men (Rock) , Wilkinson (Dance) and I Am Legion (1Xtra)

2013 - Eminem* (Headliners), Deftones (Main), Alt J (NME), Sub Focus (Dance), Boy Better Know (1xtra)

*Eminem were announced slightly later but effectively he was part of the first announcement

Well unless the announcement style changes drastically this year, I expect most people to only get a maximum of 2 points for most acts except our headliner

What if someone joins in at a later date, I'm guessing they don't get points for bands already announced? And what if we predict a band to play but aren't in the announcement, do we get to change the position/stage etc before a future announcement? And what if a band changes position/stage?

Sorry for all the questions

It is only for the first announcement so don't worry

Anyway what happened last year was that for the main announcement game you could use the acts announced but you had to put on the day and position on.

They don't always announce stages or positions.

EDIT: they never announce days either!

Is this for real? I'm not having a laugh or anything but do you genuinely feel they could/would play?

Yeah we normally just have a separate game for each announcement. In the final one you can use the already announced acts, they just allow for easy points.

Won't get any of the Pit/Dance/1xtra acts correct so overloading on the Main/NME acts to increase likelihood of getting some correct #tactics

Aye to the first bit, as for the second everyone can use the acts actually announced to predict the day and position in the final big prediction... the first announcement is just bonus points tbh

They don't always announce stages or positions.

EDIT: they never announce days either!

They do eventually!!
