Less than a week away from the first World Cup of the season. Solden is looking good with excellent snow and cold weather forecast! The Predictions League is back again but we are mixing it up this time around. We are going to give bonus points to any podium predicted skier that starts the race weekend outside of the top 3 in the season standings... Still 5 points if you prediction wins 3 if they come second and 1 if they are 3rd but you will get double points for any prediction that starts the weekend outside the top 3... for example, you pick Hector and she wins and she is within the top 3 of the tour standings you'd get 5 points, but if you picked Hector and she was outside the top 3 at the start of the race weekend you'd get 10 points total. (so 3points for 2nd would change to 6 points and 1 point for 3rd would go to 2). Hopefully that will spice up the picks and give incentive to move away from the favourites! Listen. Watch. Play.
