Cricket World Cup 2023: Prediction Contest

Recommended Posts

Cricket World Cup 2023 starts on Oct 5, 2023. We played a prediction contest for football world cup in 2022. Let's play a similar thing for this one as well. As we know, cricket results and scoring works differently from football, I had to make changes how points will be gained. I think it will be fun if we have some passionate and serious people playing actively. :)

 

I'm running 3 different things at the same time [IVG FPL, FIFA23 tourney and now this one]. I hope everything goes fine. :P

 


1. RULES:
1.1 Participants will submit their predictions for each day's matches [Match Day schedule].
1.2 Deadline for submitting predictions for a Match Day will be before the start of the first match of the day.
1.3 Predictions will include 2 parts:
Part 1 = Match Result = Match winner (participants are allowed to predict a Tie as well)
Part 2 = 50s Outcome= No. of batters who will score 50 or more runs from each team. Participants may predict more 50s to be scored by the team they predict to lose a match.

1.3.1 Even if a batter scores a century/double century, his score will  also be considered as a 50+ score for our contest.
1.4 While posting predictions, please don't interchange Home and Away teams. Team names are arranged in alphabetical order for each match.
1.5 Participants can post their predictions for the entire league stage at once if they want to, but it will be more fun if we make predictions on daily basis (or even weekly basis if someone's too busy)
1.6 Participants are NOT allowed to EDIT their posts after submitting their predictions. If, for some reason, they want to change their predictions before deadline, just strike through the text on the old post and make a new post with updated prediction.
1.7 Only completed matches will be valid. A match with reduced overs (or DLS method) will also be considered complete as long as there's a result.
1.8 Abandoned, Washed-out or No Result matches will NOT be considered.
1.9 Super overs are also invalid for this contest.


2. PREDICTION FORMAT:
Example: Match 1
England vs New Zealand

 

For Match Result:
If I want to predict England to Win and New Zealand to Lose:
England vs New Zealand = 1-0 [this 1-0 way of predicting winner will help me a lot while calculating points]

 

If I want to predict New Zealand to Win and England to Lose:
England vs New Zealand = 0-1

 

If I want to predict a Tie:
England vs New Zealand = 0-0

 

For 50s Outcome:
If I want to predict England will score more 50s than New Zealand, I must tell number of 50s by each team as well (and my guess is England will score 6 50s and New Zealand will score 2):

50s = 6-2 (England vs New Zealand)

 

If I want to predict New Zealand will score more 50s than England (and my guess is England will score 0 and New Zealand will score 3 50s):
50s = 0-3 (England vs New Zealand)

 

If I want to predict both teams will score equal number of 50s, I must tell number of 50s by each team as well (and my guess is both team will score 4 50s each):
50s = 4-4 (England vs New Zealand)

 

3. POINTS SYSTEM:
3.1 Correct Match Result = 5 points
3.2 Correct 50s Outcome = 3 points*
3.3 Exact 50s (Correct 50s Outcome + Correct number of 50s by each team) = 7 points
3.4 Incorrect Result = -1 point
3.5 Missing a prediction = -1 point

 

NOTE: No penalty for an "Incorrect 50s Outcome"

*It is very important to get a Match Result right because points for a "Correct 50s Outcome" can only be gained after correctly predicting a "Match Result". However, if you get "Exact 50s" right you will always get 7 points even if your Match Result prediction is wrong for this particular match.


I will make a leaderboard and we will see who will top it after 48 matches.

It is normal for some people to lose interest midway if they feel they are too far behind and cannot win it. I understand that, but my suggestion is... "Please only join if you think you can keep your interest up even if you fall behind on the Leaderboard". There's a penalty for missing a prediction (-1 point). And, if someone misses 5 predictions in a row, they will be removed from the contest. Sorry! :(

 

4. REGISTRATION:

If you are interested, please register by providing following details:

Name: Bharat Kumar (or you can use your IVG ID)
Winner prediction: Pakistan

 

No. of participants: 15

@KnackChap bhai your spot is already reserved because you had asked for it after FIFA World Cup. :)

 

IMPORTANT:
Please don't interchange team names. Team names will be arranged in alphabetical order (England is assigned as Home Team in Match Day 1 fixture). So, if someone swaps team names and submit their prediction like:
New Zealand vs England = 1-0

It will still be considered as a 1-0 in favour of England, which means a Win for England.

 

Rules may need to be added or changed.

The points system may seem a little complicated at first but we just need to make a few predictions and see how the points system works, and we will be okay.

Good idea, since there's a penalty for missing predictions, I will probably do the same. :good:
