This has been running long enough now that I'm sure it needs little introduction, so with the new season starting this weekend it's time to welcome back the Football Prediction Thread. For those who haven't played before the rules are below:
The Rules:
- 3 points for the correct score e.g. 3-1
- 1 point for correct result e.g. draw/win
- 5 bonus points for predicting all correct scores for the round of matches
- 2 bonus points for predicting all correct results for the round of matches
- All predictions in before the kickoffs of the matches you predict
Bonus Points:
As always, there will be bonus points awarded for predictions of the Top 4 and Bottom 3 of the table come the end of the season, with these predictions having been vital in deciding the final table in previous seasons. If you correctly predict the place in which a team finishes, you will earn 5 points, and if the team finishes in the top 4/bottom 3 but not in the place you predicted, you'll score 2 points. I'll stick a code in the second post.
In-game Tournament:
The tournament will start on week 21 and will run for however many weeks necessary depending on how many entrants we get.
There will be a bonus 10 points for the winner of the tournament, 6 points for the runner up, and 2 for third place.
It's as simple as that, really. Happy predicting!
