Predict Addict - New Enhancements

In response to the feedback and suggestions provided by members of the Predict Addict website, we've been developing and beta testing a range of new enhancements for Predict Addict and are pleased to announce that they have now been released.

So what's been added:-

  • Leaderboard page size increase to 100
  • Number of registered members displayed on home page
  • Prediction Statistics (stats) for each football fixture
  • Mini League filtering by competition stage
  • Leaderboard filtering by current competition stage
  • Visual enhancements and bug fixes

The number of members listed on a page for the leaderboard has increased to 100 for both the main leaderboard and member's mini leagues. Also the Facebook version of the leaderboard has been increased to 100 members per page.

We now display the number of registered website members on the home page (at the time of writing we currently have 1,940 members). So if you haven't told your mates already then let them know about Predict Addict.

Each football fixture now displays the prediction statistics, hovering the mouse over the chart icon displays the statistics for the fixture. Depending on whether the fixture is still to kickoff determines the statistics displayed. If the fixture is yet to kickoff then the statistics shows the percentage of members who think the result will be a home win, draw or away win. However, if the fixture has finished then the statistics shows the percentage of members who predicted the correct result, correct outcome or incorrect.

As requested by many members, we've added the feature to filter the mini league leaderboard by competition stage, as in the main leaderboard. This allows mini league owners to easily determine which member scored the most points for a given competition stage (weekly leaderboard).

The leaderboard's now supports current competition stage filtering, once all the results for the current competition stage have been collected and entered into the system.

If you've got a suggestion or feedback then please let us know by filling in either the Contact form on this blog or the Feedback form on our website.
