Forum Predictor Rules 2014-5

[sharrowblade]

Morning all, rules the same as last year, apart from one slight difference see Rule 6.

1. As last season, there will be two leagues split geographically as near as possible. A Northern Conference and a Southern Conference

2. Everyone will play each other once only, inc inter conference games. There are 32 entrants, so 31 rounds.

3. Play offs. After 31 Rounds, the top 7 in each conference will battle it out in the play offs. As last season, this hopefully keeps the interest going. (A team who finish 7th can win the entire competition but its a hard ask to win 5 consecutive games in the play offs, Conference winners have to win just 2)

Play offs consist of 5 rounds.
Round 1 - 4th v 7th, 5th v 6th
Round 2 - 2nd v Lowest rated team from Rd 1, 3rd v other
Round 3 - Winners of Round 2 face off
Round 4 - Conference Final: 1st v winner of Round 3
Round 5 - Grand Final

4. If an entrant does not enter scores for two consecutive weeks, they will receive a reminder. 3 consecutive weeks of inactivity will result in expulsion.

5. In January a cup competition will begin on the cup dates. We will be inviting other forum members to paticipate as previously

6. Fixtures to be predicted and the head to heads for each forthcoming round to be notified on the Sunday/Monday night beforehand. It is the entrants responsibility to make sure he/she gets his scores in on time.

Scores must be in before Mid-day Saturday. Any score received after this time off won't count. this includes sunday's results as well.

I have decided to make it mid-day Saturday, as fixture times are forever changing. If everyone knows it is mid-day saturday every week there can be no complaints, especially when everyone has had all week to predict.

7. Fixtures to be predicted will consist of Premier to league 2. Occasionally there will be the odd Spl and conference games. There will be the odd international weekend too.

8. There will be 12 fixtures to predict each weekend.

9. Correct score: 3 pts
Right result: 1 pt
Joker selection to be made in bold counts double

10. Each match is a head to head against each other.
3 pts for a win. 1 pt for a draw

10a: The weekly top scorer will receive 2 bonus points. In case of a tie each winner will receive 1 bonus point.

11. League tables to appear every sunday/Monday night.

12. Entrants have the right to appeal over their alloted score if they believe it to be wrong.
