Wondering if there would be interest here in a "Tipping" Competition for this season? (which I think is called a "Pick 'em" competition in America?)
It's very popular down here for the football league and is a nice way to stay engaged with the league.
Basically each night (or at the start of each week, or whenever you feel like it) you log in to a website, check a few boxes to guess the winners of the next day's games, and the website keeps track of who is the best tipster, including updating the standings each week.
You can tip any game as early as you want, but each game would get locked out for tipping at a set time before its start time (I'm thinking maybe 6 hours, so that no one gets an unfair advantage due to receiving last-minute injury news and the like, but happy to discuss that one).
I think it could be fun thing if we could get a lot of people involved.

Cool.
Just to be clearer, if I get at least a dozen people interested (either by saying so here in this thread or by messaging me directly) I'll set it up

Sounds pretty cool. I'd try it. Also, I think it would be really interesting to see how the results of our polls would do at picking winners. In theory it might be better than any one person since it reflects the collective judgement - I think its called the Delphi technique.
