Well, the Euros are a distant memory and we have a new season upon us, so it's time to get ready to knock ODB off his perch and start a new predictions table.
As always, everyone is welcome to join in and don't worry if you miss a few matches as it is easy to catch up points if you can just predict a few correct scores.
Firstly, an apology.
I visited Blackburn last week and left my laptop at a friend's house.
As I'm not down again until the West Brom match, the first predictions table won't be published until after that match but don't worry, I will include all the predictions for all the matches played.
Rules are the same as last time:
1. Please post your prediction in the match thread and NOT this thread. The latest table will be posted to this thread after the match finishes.
2. Predictions must be posted before kick-off.
3. Predicting the correct result wins 3 points (e.g. you predict 2-1, the score is 2-0)
4. Predicting the correct score wins 5 points (please note, you don't get 3 points for correct result as well, just 5)
5. If you predict the correct score and the winning team scored 3 or more, you get a bonus point for every goal the winning team scored above 2.
So, basically, if you predict 3-1 and are correct, you get 5 points for correct score plus 1 point bonus for predicting 3 goals.
If you predict 5-0 and are correct, you get the 5 points plus 3 bonus points for predicting 5 goals.
If you predict a high-scoring draw, for example 3-3, then you'd get 5 points plus a bonus point for each team as there wasn't a winner and both teams scored more than 2, so 7 points in total.
If Rovers are involved in any penalty shoot-outs, the score used for the prediction league will be that at the end of extra time BEFORE penalties.
If two people are tied on points in the table, precedence will be determined by:
Most correct scores. If this is the same then
Most bonus points. If this is the same then alphabetical order.
The final table cannot be decided on alphabetical order, it will be a tie if players can't be separated by correct scores or bonus points.
Hopefully, Kate won't spend all season with the men on top of her this time and Drog will remember the kick off times
Good luck everyone!
