Administrators 2007/08
Table compiler – Myles
Marker – Liam
Marker – Juvefans
Regulation Administrator – Myles


The Regulation Administrator will be responsible for driving any issues relating to Indiscipline, Appeals and Rule Amendments/New rules via e-mail with the other administrators and will decide whether discussion and votes is deemed necessary by all the administrators.


1. How to Play

• 1 a. Predict results on the forum using the appropriate 'Marcello Chicarella Championship – Week #' thread which corresponds to the Serie A week (e.g. Marcello Chicarella Championship - Week 1).
  
• 1 b. Predict results using the letters H (home), A (Away) and D (Draw) which correspond to your prediction (E.g. Milan - Inter … D For Milan and Inter to draw the game in the San Siro.) Other letters or numbers (i.e. 1, 2 and X) will not score points. Predicting scores (i.e. 0-0, 1-0, 1-2, etc.) will not score points.
  
• 1 c. Predictions for the last 4 weeks of the season can be submitted via Private Message to Myles or email to forumpredictions@yahoo.co.uk, and your predictions will only be posted on the forum after all the games for the corresponding week are over, however you can still post your predictions on the forum if you do not wish to hide your predictions.

2. How to Score Points

• 2 a. 1 point is scored for each result predicted correctly.
  
• 2 b. 0 points is awarded for each result predicted incorrectly.
  
• 2 c. Your score for each week is added to your accumulated score of the previous weeks.

3. The Deadline for Predictions

The deadline for predicting results is the kickoff time (GMT) of the first game(s) of each Serie A week.
Eg.1 - If the first game(s) is Saturday at 17:00 hours (GMT), then predictions will be accepted upto and on the time of 16:59 hours (GMT).
Eg.2 - If the first game(s) of midweek fixtures is Wednesday at 19:30 hours (GMT), then predictions will be accepted upto and on the time of 19:29 hours (GMT).



4. Postponed/Suspended Matches and Voided Results

• 4 a. If a match result is changed or voided, your score will be altered to correspond with the official result.
  
• 4 b. If a match is postponed or suspended before or during the match and the game is not replayed, then the result used for accumulating your score will be the result made official.
  
• 4 c. If a match is postponed or suspended before or during the match and the game is replayed, then participants can submit new predictions for the re-arranged game.

5. Participants Absent

• 5 a. If you are absent from the forum, post predictions in advance on the 'Marcello Chicarella Championship' thread or via Private Message to Myles or email to forumpredictions@yahoo.co.uk.
  
• 5 b. Participants who do not post predictions for 4 consecutive weeks will be withdrawn from the Marcello Chicarella Championship at the discretion of the Regulation Administrator.

6. Participants Posting the Table

• 6 a. Any Participant may take the initiative of posting all the weekly scores and/or the whole table before an administrator.
  
• 6 b. Participants cannot post only part of the scores/table as this undermines the role of other participants whom are not included in a part-table.

The administrators understand that delays in posting the whole table are frustrating to the participants. Sometimes an administrator may be unavailable to complete his role in the process within a desired timeframe due to personal commitments, which take priority (i.e. work or study).



7. Tie-break
In the event of a tie-break in the table after week 38, between two or more participants. The winner will be the participant who predicted the highest score for the most amount of weeks, and so on in descending order. Thereafter, if more than one participant is still tied, more than one winner will be declared.



8. Indiscipline on Marcello Chicarella Championship threads
Participants will be either deducted points or expelled from the Marcello Chicarella Championship at the discretion of the administrators.



9. Appeals

• 9 a. Incorrect scores should be highlighted on a 'Marcello Chicarella Championship' thread or via Private Message to Myles or email to forumpredictions@yahoo.co.uk.
  
• 9 b. A participant can appeal by posting on the 'Marcello Chicarella Championship' thread or via Private Message to Myles or email to forumpredictions@yahoo.co.uk.
  
• 9 c. A participant cannot appeal late predictions, regardless of forum technicality, no Internet access, holidays, bereavement, apologies or otherwise.

10. Rule Amendments/New Rules

• 10 a. New rules or/and rule amendments can be proposed by any participant/administrator by posting on the 'Marcello Chicarella Championship' thread or via Private Message to Myles or email to forumpredictions@yahoo.co.uk.
  
• 10 b. Proposed new rules or/and rule amendments will be discussed if deemed necessary by the Regulation Administrator.
  
• 10 c. Any proposed new rules or/and rule amendments discussed, will be implemented if passed by a majority vote of the administrators.

Hi Myles - nice forum, hope the moderators aren't descended from the Stasi!!

Am spreading the word via the FI Forum and the Fantasy League forum.

Nice one Curva Fiesole.

I've set you up as a Site Admin.

I reckon 3 site admins and 3 mods

Admins have privilege to to do everything i.e. editing posts and banning members, but the idea is to be liberal as possible, so i don't suspect we'll be banning anyone, nor editing for that matter. Also, can edit the setup of the forum.

Mods can post stickys and announcements.

On this forum we can post links and edit our postings

Website will be fully working before Friday 25/08/07

Any chance of me being granted Mod status, Myles?

Done.

Much appreciated, fella!

I've now been reinstated to the C4 site, but they can kiss my hairy crease from now on.

The only issue I face right now is trying to get the C4 regulars over to this foro in their droves. We can't link to this site from the C4 site, and the foro I set up via the Premiership fantasy footie thing only has 13 participants... suggestions?

Also, how come Dangerous Dave and yourself get funky 'Site Admin' tags on your posts where I, the most wicked-sweet Mod of all time, am still stuck with 'New Member'?

I'll call for a boycott, I will!

Rank Title - Minimum Posts
New member - 1
New-ish member - 10
Member - 20
Regular - 50

I just put the first 4 people as admins, i'll put you as an admin if you want, i don't think there's much of a different between admins and mods, both can edit and delete other peoples post.

Actually, i never asked Rosa if she wants to be a mod so i better change that.

Being a small, petty man, I graciously accept your offer to place me among the esteemed group of site admins! :D

Any ideas on how we can get the C4 crowd over here?

I thought about registering dozens of new usernames on the C4 site, creating a thread containing a link to this site then continuing along this line as each of my new usernames gets suspended but I'm not sure if that would work...

Yeah, i'll do that aswel. I think posting in the Club threads might be less conspicuous so might not be seen by the C4 mods as quick, plus some of the forum members only read the threads of their team.

Hi Myles - Got your coded message on the other place so decided to join you.

Wahey! At least someone understood it anyway.

Suppose the message was a bit lame, but there you go....

It took me about a minute to fully understand your message Myles, but I got it in the end. Very good.

so who was Alpi and La Gigliati? I got the first message but the second one also had emboldened writing which i found confusing. But a nice idea all the same guys.

Myles is Alpi, I'm La Gigliati.

I was trying to give away the names of those already associated with this new forum without triggering any mod activity.

They were a bit 'zen' my messages, I must admit...

:-D Thanks SN

I don't think Michael will be compiling the table this season, he's on holidays at the moment and i think for the rest of the year he'll be stuck into his study.

Myself, Liam and Juvefans will work out who's doing what and let you know asap. Hmmm...all Juventini doing it this season

No wonder Drughi scored 8 in his first ever predictions...suspect!
