In all honesty, I thought somebody would have started a thread.
I mean the three months between my last post in the thread when I announced the final standings and then announced my intention to step down because of work commitments - that in my opinion was an ample amount of time for somebody or a group of people working together to create a thread. Even if they didn't post it, they could have created a draft and saved it, then edited it before the season, so that it was ready for posting come August.
But for whatever reason, nobody seems to have the availability to come forward and start a new thread. I sympathise with people who feel sad that the competition has seemingly come to a disappointing end, I'm one of them. But the reality is that we're going to have to accept that it has. Until someone or some people are willing or available to come forward and start it, we're not going to get a prediction competition. That is a real pity, because this competition has been a mainstay on this forum for many years.
I'm going to miss it this season if it doesn't happen, I've enjoyed participating in it for the last decade or so on this forum. But I simply can't run it for this season. I don't have the time or opportunity. I would have participated as a player and I wish someone was able to run it - but alas it seems to not be the case.
That's my last word on it. If someone starts it in the next few weeks, great. If they don't, the brutal reality is that we'll have to wait until next year to see if there's any chance of this fun competition being ressurrected.
