The Swansea City 'Beat The Manager' prediction league is a fun free-to-enter game where you are invited to predict the results of all your teams league games during the season. You gain points according to the accuracy of your predictions, and compete against fellow fans for the prestigious 'BTM' title.
An added bonus means that for each team's league you enter, you are automatically entered into the prediction game for the entire division in which your team is playing. Your predictions for your specific team are used in the division-wide games. |
|
 |
|
| The first time you enter the 'Beat The Manager' game, you will be required to register, providing your name, address, email address, a 'Beat The Manager' team name and access password. |
|
 |
|
| Once you have entered the game by supplying your designated password, you can submit your prediction by clicking on the 'Predict' button above. The next two league matches scheduled to be played by Swansea City will be displayed. For the match of your choice, simply select your predicted scoreline from the drop-down boxes and click on the 'Submit' button. Once submitted, your prediction will be saved and confirmed to you on screen. |
|
 |
|
| Changing your prediction works in almost identical fashion to your first submission. Simply click on the 'Predict' button, select your predicted scoreline from the drop-down boxes and click on the 'Change' button. Your prediction will be changed and confirmed to you once again. |
|
 |
|
| You can submit, and subsequently change, your prediction as often as you like up until half-an-hour before the scheduled kick-off time of the selected game. Should you enter a prediction later than this deadline, it will be submitted as your entry for the game following the one displayed. |
|
 |
|
| Should a game be abandoned or postponed, any prediction you have made will be carried forward and used if the game is replayed. You will of course be able to change such a prediction when it subsequently becomes one of the next two games scheduled to be played. |
|
 |
|
| You are awarded points depending on the accuracy of your score. If you predict the score correctly you are awarded a 'win', and will receive 16 points. Guessing the correct result gives you a 'draw' worth 5 points. Predict the wrong result, however, and you get no points (a 'loss'). There is a chance to win bonus points: if you correctly guess either team's number of goals it's 2 points, and you are rewarded with 5 if you correctly predict a game will end in a draw. Here is a table showing exactly what each prediction could give you: |
|
| For example, if Swansea City and BTM United draw 2-2 | Your
prediction | Correct
score | Correct
result | Swansea City
