[SIZE=10.5pt]And here we go! Apologies for the wall of text that follows...[/SIZE] :huh:

[SIZE=10.5pt]Rules have been reverted back to the 2015/16 season to reward a correct prediction more.  They are as follows:[/SIZE]

  • [SIZE=10.5pt]Make a prediction for each of the 6 matches given[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=10.5pt]Each week, 2 will be from the Premier League, 3 from the Championship, and 1 from League One[/SIZE]
[*][SIZE=10.5pt]Points will be given as follows:[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=10.5pt]5 points for a correct result with the correct final score (max points for 1 match)[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=10.5pt]2 points for a correct result (win for the correct team or a draw)[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=10.5pt]1 point for either team's correct goal total (half of a correct result)[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=10.5pt]Choose one of the matches to be worth double the points as your wildcard.  Just make sure to denote or mark which match is your wildcard, so points can be given accordingly.  That means the max number of points someone can get each week is 35.[/SIZE]
[*][SIZE=10.5pt]All predictions must be in prior to the respective match's start time.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Hopefully that is clear as mud, but just in case here is a quick example.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]        Prediction:  Cardiff 2-1 Fulham                           Result: Cardiff 3-1 Fulham[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]                          Leeds 2-0 Burnley *wc*                                Leeds 2-0 Burnley[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]This person would get 1 point for getting the Fulham goal total correct, 2 points for the correct result in the Cardiff v Fulham match, and 10 points from the second match since the score was correct and it was his or her wildcard, totaling to 13 points from these two matches.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]***NEW ADDITION THIS SEASON***[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt][/SIZE]

  • [SIZE=10.5pt]The prediction season will be broken up into 5 mini seasons (4 placement seasons and 1 championship season),each 2 months long.[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=7pt] [/SIZE]At the beginning of each mini season, everyone will start with 0 points.  A fresh slate.
  • [SIZE=10.5pt]The first 4 mini seasons will proceed as usual, and placement points will be awarded based upon the final standings of each mini season.[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt][/SIZE]1st place – 20 points
  • [SIZE=10.5pt]2nd place – 15 points[/SIZE]
  • 3rd place – 10 points
  • [SIZE=10.5pt]4th place – 7 points[/SIZE]
  • 5th place – 4 points
  • [SIZE=10.5pt]6th place – 1 point[/SIZE]
  • 7th place and lower – 0 points
[*][SIZE=10.5pt]Placement points from each mini season will carry over into the last (championship) mini season, giving those who performed well an advantage in the championship season (up to an 80 point head start, 4-1st place finishes).[/SIZE]
[*]The championship season will proceed like normal with the placement points as the starting point for each competitor.
[*][SIZE=10.5pt]Top of the table at the end of the final season is this year’s champion.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Let me know if I need to clarify anything.  Otherwise, here are your first matches of the season.[/SIZE]
