Akai and I both added a correct prediction to our tallies following this morning's Floyd Mayweather fight.

Congrats to Akai on joining Kiiii in the 100% club homie! His 2 correct predictions to your 1 will give him sole ownership of the #1 spot, but you will move me and Fluff down in the rankings as you take #2.

The PFL 11 event kicks off soon. I will update my tally when the card ends.

Thoughts on having a minimum number of predictions before having a ranking? There's nothing stopping Ki or Akai from not touching this thread again and staying in the top spots. Just a thought.

Everton > Leicester
Arsenal > Fulham
Tottenham > Cardiff
Aston Villa > QPR
West Brom > Blackburn

I would like to open up the floor for any constructive criticism as to how we could improve this thread. Right now it is pretty straight forward. Just common sense guidelines:

► When predicting an event's outcome, get the prediction in before the start of the event.

► Each correct prediction nets you 1 point.

► The posters are ranked in descending numerical order, with the highest percentage of correct predictions at the top.

► HONOR SYSTEM: I will do my best to check out the outcome of every prediction, but need to know that I can take you at your word.

I would like to propose a rule, but I want to see how everyone feels about it. Some people may abuse the thread by coming in and making one-off predictions to get a 100% rating and then never return. I posit that if you are at 100%, you must make at least 1 prediction every 30 days to remain active. Otherwise, you will be relegated to INACTIVE status. Thoughts?

You and I must have been on the same wave length LOL. What do you propose?

How about it takes 10 predictions to enter the pool that qualifies for ranking? This will entice members to make predictions, as there is some kind of reward.
