Q. So what is it all about then?
A. Basically you lot pitting your wits against each other, with your football Knowledge, primarily Leicester based, but with general questions thrown in.
Q. How does it work?
A. Each week, five questions will be put on the site, they will consist of three Leicester based questions and two general based.
Q. Yeah so I answer the questions. How do I score Points?
A. Scoring is straight forward get the question right and you've scored, get all five right and you've scored five that week, so you can't lose, but you can draw 5-5 if the other person gets all five right too, You'll have worked out by now that if your opponent gets one right then you've let one in. Nowt you can do about that. BUT, like how football should be played, get your question right and you score.
Q. So I win a game, then what?
A. Its three points for a win and one for a draw, seem to have seen that idea somewhere before haven't you The amount of games depend on how many of you enter. Which obviously means, a lot enter then more than one division will be created. Last season a Premier League and four subsequent divisions existed underneath. Though each league had a different amount of participants in.
Q. Wait a minute. Different leagues?
A. Yes, the Premier League questions will be harder than the lowest division questions.
Q. Wait a minute, this is just like proper footy!
A. Go to the top of the class! You'll play each member of the division twice, promotion, relegation and the play offs will take place aswell. Questions answered right are considered to be goals for and where points are equal then its questions answered right that count so just because you only know the answer to one doesn't mean you don't try that week because who knows what that one right answer might win you.
Q. And that's all there is to it?
A. Errr no bear with us. How many your opponent gets right, will be a bit like goals scored against you. So if your equal on points and questions right its how well your opponents done, bit hard I know but it will help me as questions wrong would be the same wouldn't it. After thats its games won
Q.That's all very confusing.
A. It's not really, you'll get the hang of it. Just answer the questions and let me do the rest.
Q. Ok I've got me a copy of Foxiles & Fossils. What now?
A. I shall probably release the questions on a Thursday with a date and time 7 days later to answer them by. Remember no answers by the cut off date then its a big fat zero for you.
Q. But it's my aunty Angus's 200th birthday party and the queens coming round for tea. mum is insisting that we stay in all week to help out so I can't answer my questions.
A. Don't worry. If can't answer your questions that week because you have a life, then mail me and the game can be postponed until later.
Q. If this is like proper footy does that mean that there's like an FA Cup aswell?
A. Yes there will be an Anorak Cup during the season too When it comes to the Cup theirs no such thing as seeding, though I might have depending on numbers and then the big boys and girls come in later Also there is no such thing as easier questions for the minnows in the cup non-leaguers can enter too. So if the league seems a bit much have a whirl at the cup
Q. Will you give me a team name or can I pick it myself?
A. You can pick it yourself! LittlePleatMcGeeHamiltonMcClintock F.C. and Wot?AnotherPlugForForFOXSakeFC!!!! are examples of stupid names and your choice will be abbreviated, this helps me send readable mail messages.
Q. Anything else?
A. Yes, there will be a xmas and Easter break. You may or may not have a game some weeks depending on whether you are a Premier League person having to rest your brain cells or perhaps just out of the cup or not in yet, time will tell.
