Hello all, this is the Mets Prediction Game. A game I created in mid-season 2004. In it you predict on Mets games to gain points and we'll see who is the Grand Champion by season's end. I will keep a running tally of everyone's scores. We will play this game during week-day games only since not everyone is on here during the week-ends. All are free to join. To be fair to all the players, players must post their own predictions. No one is allowed to post a prediction for someone else.

I check prediction posts as they are posted. I do not go back to check for edits.
If a prediction post is to be changed, it must be done so by a new post in the thread that says CORRECTION otherwise the original post will be the one recorded and scored on. To be fair to all the players, players must post their own predictions. No one is allowed to post a prediction for someone else.
Read and follow the rules carefully as I do not correct anyone if you are wrong. This game takes a lot of my time so I need everyone's cooperation with this.
----------------------------------------------------------
You can begin placing your predictions for Friday's game starting now until 5 minutes until the scheduled game-time. Everyone feel free to join in.

Points system:
If you are within one run in either direction of the final score = 1 point (For instance- if you predict the score will be 3-1 and it is 3-2 then you get one point.).
For predicting a game score correctly = 2 points.
For predicting a win or loss correctly = 1 point.

Predict how many hits the Mets will have for the game = 2 points

Home Run Predictions (Read the rules!)
You can now make a prediction for who will homer from either team (only 1 player can be named in total, not one from the Mets and one from the opposing team) or you can even make a prediction of no homers!

Points System for Homers:
If you make a prediction of no homers for the game (that means no homers for anyone from EITHER team!) = 3 points
If you predict a Met or non-Met player to homer (only ONE player can be picked and named per game; if more than one player is named then neither player will be recorded as a prediction) = 2 points
**you will receive a 1 point bonus for every extra homer from your predicted homer hitter in a multi-homer game
**non-Met Homer predictions do not affect the Mets loyalty points

Predict the winning pitcher for either team = 2 points (4 points if you correctly predict a relief pitcher as the game winner)

If you make all the predictions correctly, you can make in the range of 9 - 12 points in 1 game! A perfect prediction will get your points doubled as a bonus!

NOTE:
**Players that do not predict a Mets loss all season will be eligible for a Mets Loyalty Bonus of 15 points at the end of the season. However, to ensure that players play more than once to gain these bonus points - to be eligible for the Mets end of the year Bonus points, you must have at least 125 points by season's end.
**To be eligible for post-season play, players must have accumulated at least 175 points. Bonus points will not get you into the post-season. You must get to 175 points without bonus points to get into the post-season.
