Well done, Kevin. A worthy champion. longeared has finally, and deservedly done me and where the hell did Wibl come from? Anyway, congratulations to all.
And, of course, many thanks again, Sean. Your effort deserves far more competitors. We should make more of a recruitment effort next season.
I thought maybe we could advertise the competition intervirally by adding a “by the way" reminder to every post we make until the Round 1 closing date.
But that would no doubt annoy more people than it would attract.
Actually, as this is my only remote possibility of any personal glory in the coming 12 months, I say keep it as small and elitist as possible.
Jump no longer Logan, we are ready to go all over again with the official prediction competition once again. Just for those who aren't sure, here is a reminder of how it works.
Each round will be 10 games played on the same day, so all Saturday games, and if we do a midweek one then they will all be on the same night. Though it will be based mainly on the Premier League, there may also be lower league games, cup games, international games, European competition etc.
I'll post the games no later than 48 hours before the first kick-off, so Saturday games will be no later than midday Thursday, and midweek games will be no later than 7pm two days before, but if I can, I'll post them as early as possible.
Any posts made after the kick-off time, or edited after the kick-off time will be null and void for the relevant game(s). Watch out for early Saturday games kicking off at midday.
Predict the score of all games. Correct score is 3 points, correct result is 1 point. No minus points, no safe games, no bankers. There will usually be a bonus such as first scorer for a game, first yellow, or something like.
