Now in its 13th season, welcome back once again to the competition that's more eagerly anticipated than a takeover at a football club. (Dragging on a bit now)
After a season off (A big thanks to AFKA for last season) I'm back where we still have the same owner but unlike elsewhere the lights won't be turned on this festival of fun.
It will be all worthwhile. Just need to be patient my friends.
So, a recap. It's so simple that could manage this. All you have to do is predict the result from three games on the selected weekly list of fixtures (we sometimes omit fixtures we think are likely to be very one-sided gimme, like Chelsea v Dagenham, Man City v Newport or Charlton v Millwall). This week's opener there are 20 plus fixtures selected, in future this might be narrowed.
Scoring:
- 1 point if you get the scoreline in the right direction (home win, draw, away win),
- 3 points if you get an exact scoreline (2-1),
- and if you are lucky enough to get all three results exactly right, you get the joy of 5 bonus points (total 14 points), (and the disappointment of finding out what the odds would have been if you had placed it with the bookies!)
- To encourage continued participation, participants are granted three byes throughout the season for when they forget to enter, are away etc. In that instance, added to your running total will be the average points score from the other participants for that week (final three weeks of the season won’t count). You do not have to do anything to have the bye total added to your score, it will be calculated for you.
- Please copy and paste the fixtures as shown please, as this will make scoring at lot easier this end.
Good luck everyone
