Only 1 RULE this season the 6th placed team you forecast MUST be 70 points or MORE. SCORING is simple 1 point for every point you are away from the final totals of each team. The LOWEST score will be the winner. ======================================== TOP and BOTTOM game HOW IT WORKS and RULES You are required to predict the TOP 4 and BOTTOM 4 teams from each divison. SCORING is simple. ADD the TOTAL points your 4 TOP teams get. then SUBTRACT the total points your 4 BOTTOM teams get. This gives you your GAME SCORE NOTE: for the purpose of this game any POINTS DEDUCTIONS will be ignored In the event of a tie the tie breaker will be used which is just using top 3 divisions first then so on. ========================================== FA CUP TOP TIPSTER 1. You must enter the CORRECT CODES and method of entry or risk losing points. 2. If you miss a round after starting you will score the LOWEST score for that round. Miss more than 2 rounds and you are eliminated for the game. 3. BONUS POINTS will be allocated on a round by round basis depending on the number of games. Details of BONUS will be given with the fixtures. ( normally around 60% correct for 1pt) 4. Predictions have to be in usually by first match kick off (unless otherwise notified and at my discretion). If later then the previous matches will not be used after kick offs. If an entry is made twice by mistake, the LAST entry will be used. All predictions are based on 90 mins. 5. NEW PLAYERS can join after start under the following scores. Join After 1st or 2nd Round : Given points of team 80% down the table. No new players after Round 3. Head to Head KNOCK OUTS Head to Head Knock Out's are arranged at times throughout the season. To make the DRAW for these as easy as possible they will be drawn AUTOMATICALLY. To clarify the method of the draw for each round. In the early round some "byes" will be necessary and these will be the top teams from the results table. OR if the need to reduce the number of teams to 32 (64) some elimination ties will be played using teams from the bottom of the table. The Top team left in any knock out draw will play the Bottom team left in any knockout using the previous weeks points table. The 2nd team left in knock down the table will then play the 2nd from bottom of those teams still left in the game. and so on till all ties are decided. In the later rounds the tie could be decided over 2 weeks predictions. This will be announced at the time of the draw. In later rounds failure to submit an entry in a tie will result in their place being taken by a "reserve" taken from the highest losers from the previous round in order down the points table if more than one. Match Scores Tied For the Saturday Tipster Head to Head a tied result will be decided by using the highest "3 Banker points total" For the FA Cup Head to Head a tie will be decided by a method indicated or organising a play off using replays or similar In the event of a "no result" tie due to BOTH missed entries in the 1st round, the HIGHEST losing total (from the other ties) will pass through to next round and if teams miss an entry after the first round their place will be taken by the highest losing entries from the previous rounds.
Its been a bit hard this year in promoting the games but as from now it should be easier to get the entries in, especially from those who know the games. Cheers PSD
