    IT'S BACK!!!!!

    That's right. None of that Musty Championship ****e that wasn't even worth updating. The Premier League Prediction Game of Destiny and Doom!!!! is back - better than ever. New format, new rules and new season of exciting competition.

    Format

    The season will start with everybody in the same division. At the end of August players will be split into divisions based on their points total at the end of August. The size and number of divisions will depend on how many players are taking part. At the end of each calendar month there will be promotion and relegation between divisions, with all scores reset for the beginning of the new month. ALL Premier League games will count towards the competition.


    Point Scoring

    Correct Score (Away Win) - 20 points
    Correct Score (Draw) - 18 points
    Correct Score (Home Win) - 16 points
    Correct Result and Winning Margin (Away Win) - 10 points
    Correct Result and Winning Margin (Home Win) - 8 points
    Correct Result (Draw) - 6 points
    Correct Result (Away Win) - 4 points
    Correct Result (Home Win) - 2 points

    Posting exactly the same predictions as someone who has already posted predictions (minimum 3 games on that day) - Minus 8 points

    Posting the same predicted result and score for every game on that day (minimum 3 games on that day) - Minus 7 points

    Not posting predictions in full (ie. Home team 2-1 Away team, or 'the usual') - Minus 10 points

    Changing/editing predictions (per post/edit) - Minus 3 points*

    *
    at gamesmaster's discretion


    Bonus Points

    For every Newcastle game you must pick one NUFC player from the current squad. That player will then score (or lose) bonus points for you.

    Player plays the full 90 minutes (full game) - 10 points

    Player plays more than 60 minutes - 5 points

    Player plays 30 minutes or less - 2 points

    Player does not play - Minus 6 points

    Player scores a goal - 5 points

    Player scores a hat-trick - (further 5 point bonus)

    Player has an assist - 3 points

    Clean Sheet (any position) - 3 points

    Clean Sheet (goalkeeper) - 10 points

    Player scores own goal - Minus 7 points

    Player is booked - Minus 5 points

    Player is sent off - Minus 15 points

    Changing/editing the Newcastle player pick after the teams are announced - Minus 12 points
    (changes before teams are announced will incur the usual 3 point penalty)**

    No NUFC squad player picked - Minus 25 points

    **You can post your first predictions after the teams are announced without penalty, but you run the risk of forgetting to post before the game kicks off - plus you will need to check that your predictions are not duplicates of anyone who has already posted.



    More complicated than ever!
    Harder to cheat than ever!
    More rewards for good play!
    More punishments for bad play!
    You're ****ed if you forget to predict!


    To keep things fair, players joining mid-month will be penalised for missed Newcastle player picks for that month.

    Updates will be weekly and not after every game round!!!!!

    Good luck :)

    Isn't the cut off time for predictions one week before the matches start? Don't think the rules cover that. Plus there a bit on the short side for you? Aren't you feeling well?

    Why can't the scoring system be more complicated?

    Also there's no added incentive for 3-1 wins.

    You lot should know how Rafa's selection process works better than we do. Most of the points are for getting picked!

    i can assure you that i never , and i mean never , understood Rafa's selection policy and for my evidence i enter as exhibit
    A) CL QF against Juventus so you select Anthony Le Tellec to start <yikes>

    yet in one off games it would often work.

    There is a way to use that part of the game to get steady, if not spectacular, regular points. I'm not telling everyone what it is though. It allows non NUFC fans to stand a fair chance of competing.

    Hartlepool didn't get off to a good start today. How do you think you will do this season?
