Okay the rules:

I will draw the games from the 32 participants and that will give us 16 matches.

I will then post the matches along with the 16 games, it is then up to you to score more points than your opponent. In each match the one with the most points will progress to the next round (last 16), and so on.

How are points awarded?

Let's say Leicester progress to the 4th round and play Colchester away.

21 (Robin123) v 22 (Rock Fox) ((hypothetical draw)).

The game finishes 2-1.

Hypothetical:
(1) Robin123 predicts 2-1 points awarded 10
(2) Rock Fox predicts 3-2 points awarded 5
(3) Rock Fox predicts 3-1 points awarded 4
(4) Robin123 predicts 4-2 points awarded 3
(5) Robin123 predicts 1-1 points awarded 1
(6) Rock Fox predicts 1-3 points awarded 0

So in summary:

(1) Correct result and both scores 10 points
(2) Correct result and correct goal difference 5 points
(3) Correct result and one correct score 4 points
(4) Correct result but both scores wrong 3 points
(5) Incorrect result but one score correct 1 point
(6) Incorrect result and both scores incorrect 0 points

All predictions must be received before kick off (no exceptions).

Each score is taken at 90 minutes (plus added time). Penalties do not count.

Replays do not count (if applicable).

Hope this is okay, I will send out reminders.

Cheers

Camberwell.

You might need to look again at Robin's score in category 5

Who's this Robin123 bloke?

Example 5 should be 1-1. Can you alter it Bob?

So basically the scoring rules are the same as in the Prediction League?

Yes but some of the entrants aren't playing that so thought it best to explain it fully.

Ta.

 

[bocadillo]

Yes but some of the entrants aren't playing that so thought it best to explain it fully.

And at least one of the entrants who is playing in the league had no idea how the points were sorted out.

 

[camberwell fox]

My team name is 30 Spare

Ok so now 4 spares
