I am planning in completely finishing off the current Barclays Premier League prediction competition after this season is up. In it's place, i am proposing a new competition that consists of 20 fixtures each weekend/midweek on a more global scale that on occasions will feature club side's from lower league's. When domestic football takes a break for International games, i will then select a chosen 20 meetings to maintain the flow of the competition. This also will take affect on FA Cup weekends and other domestic cup competitions worldwide. My aim is to gain further participants in the competition by catering more to a wider base rather than solely towards the English top-flight.

Following advice from many, i have decided to keep the points system simple by using badgerboy's proposal of 2 points for a home win, 2 points for an away win and 2 points for a draw. I still however feel added bonus points should be awarded for predicting a correct scoreline so i aim to award a bonus 2 points for correctly predicting the scoreline.

Example of how the fixtures may look
10 Jan: Manchester United v Liverpool (12:30)
10 Jan: Celtic v Rangers (12:30)
10 Jan: Reggina v Udinese (14:00)
10 Jan: SV Hamburg v Hertha Berlin (14:30)
10 Jan: PSV Eindhoven v Vitesse Arnheim (15:00)
10 Jan: Aston Villa v Birmingham City (15:00)
10 Jan: Coventry City v Preston North End (15:00)
10 Jan: Celta Vigo v Barcelona (20:00)
10 Jan: Marseille v Toulouse (20:00)
10 Jan: FC Porto v Sporting Lisbon (21:00)
10 Jan: River Plate v Estudientes (23:00)
11 Jan: Sao Paulo v Santos (01:30)
.......... And so forth.

Anyone interested in taking part?
