1. The competition is open to all registered members of FoF MB.
2. Entries are via the MB thread only (see below for any exceptions)
3. Points are awarded as follows: 1 point for the correct Home - Away - Draw prediction, and a bonus point for getting both teams' scores correct.
4. Each week a double points game (DPG) will be indicated, this will double the usual points scored on that game only.
5. If anyone is due to go on vacation, business trips, etc, where they will not be able to post on the thread, then they can PM me in advance and I will put the prediction in for them. Please don't abuse this facility though.
6. Mistakes are made in the scoring. If a mistake is spotted, please PM me and I will look into it and restore the correct points for the following week as required.
7. If duplicate sets of predictions are entered for the same week then the first set are used only. If you want to change your submitted predictions then just edit your original post. The cut-off for edits is the same as item 11 below.
8. Punters need to maintain at least a 50% tipping rate and miss no more than 5 weeks in a row. That means at least half the weeks must be tipped, if not, that person is dropped from the competition. If a person fails to tip for five continuous weeks they are deemed to have withdrawn.
9. I will endeavour to get each weeks tipping sheet out by the Wednesday prior to the match weekend, and the previous weeks' results the same time. This can be affected if that rounds games go thru wednesday though.
10. If a match is postponed, for any reason, that match will be voided for that week, and might be included later on in the season when played. In that case, a further opportunity will be given to predict again, and the original prediction will be the default.
11. All preditions MUST be entered prior to the game starting. No predictions for matches already commenced will be accepted.
12. No new punters can join after week 10 of the competition.
Remember - ENJOY the competition, it's for fun (and personal battle pride in some cases) - there are no prizes.
I will publish the first week on Wednesday or earlier.
I ask all persons to remember that this is purely a voluntary effort to run the competition, so abuse is not acceptable (unless you wish to take on the responsibility of running it each week yourself, of course - PM me if you want to take the mantle)
If you have any questions regarding the rules, etc, post them here and I'll answer them best I can.
Thanks
In regards to only being opened to FoF members, this is for a month. If at the end of 30 days, I have deemed myself up for the larger task, I will open it to the other boards as well.
