It's been awfully quiet in the last couple of days, threads are going off the rails, people are making weird polls with no real outcome and we're just generally getting frustrated with the wait.
What better way to make it even less bearable than to have a prediction league for certain 5th album related points!
You will need to 'enter' this league yourself (by commenting below) and I will keep track of the contestants.
Anyone who wants to take part will have to have commented in this thread by Midnight on the 12th July GMT (so by the end of Wednesday GMT) . I will close entries after this point.
I will start taking your predictions by private message on Thursday. I'll send each of you a PM and I'll expect a reply by the end of Friday. If no predictions are sent to me within 48 hours of me sending out the reminder PM I will have no choice but to withdraw you from the League
The questions at the moment will be as follows:
Date of Lead Single Release:
Top Ten Get Points Ranging from 100 For Guessing the exact date with scores decreasing the further from the date you are. (Thanks to Banz for the formula)
Date of Album Release:
Same format as single release

____________________________________________
I'm not asking for your predictions yet so please don't start putting anything down.
If I've done anything wrong please mention it.
If you have any more suggestions for questions or think I should re-model the points system please say. Or you see any other way it could be improved for that matter

Took me a whole 2 hours to write these up in an ordered way last night but it's finally done
As you can see there was a very wide range of predictions, especially for things like release dates. I'll try and mark the release dates red as the dates pass to highlight who's left in the running each day.
Thanks for taking part
