Introduction[]
Swingles is a prediction game where you predict any song from the 41-100 part of the UK Singles Top 100. You then predict how many weeks you want to predict it for. The aim is to predict the single which you think will make the least change in the chart.
Rules[]
- You can only choose a single from positions 41-100 on the UK Singles Chart.
- You may not change your prediction after the following Sunday at 4:00PM.
- Your predicted number of weeks must be more than 2, and must be 20 or less.
Note: Do not confuse any scoring language with other UK Singles Chart Wiki games, as the scoring rules differ from game to game.
Scoring[]
Each player has a starting number of points, depending on the number of predicted weeks (2-20). The way to work out the starting score is the predicted weeks times 50. So 5 weeks would be 250 and 20 weeks would be 1000.
Each week, the change the single has made in the chart affects your total score. The number of positions the single has gone up or down is the number of points taken away from your starting score.
- If a single is a non-mover, the player gets a 50 point bonus for each occurance.
- If the single drops out of the Top 100 before the predicted weeks, each extra predicted week is -50 points off your total score.
Example[]
Player 1 predicts a single which is currentlly at 67.
Performance[]
| Week | Status | Position |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ... | 67 |
| 2 | down 2 | 69 |
| 3 | down 30 | 99 |
| 4 | non-mover | 99 |
| 5 | DROPOUT |
| Scoring | Amount | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks predicted | 5 | 250 |
| Biggest change | down 30 | |
| Total change | 32 places | -32 |
| non-mover BONUS | 50 | +50 |
| Dropout penalty | -50 | -50 |
| Total score | 218 |
Remember that getting a non-mover gets you a 50 point bonus. But if your predicted song drops out in your predicted weeks, the penalty is -50 for each extra predicted week.
