World Soccer: The 2008-09 Prediction Competition

2008-09 Prediction Competition - Rules

As earlier explained, i hoped to have enough participants for a league type scoring system. Has this has not materialised the rules will again be simple. Please read the rules carefully.

Quick Guide to how the game will operate
Each week starting from this coming Saturday 16 August 2008, there will be 20 completely random fixtures to predict from including domestic league's around the world including Domestic and European Cup competitions. Also to be included will be international fixtures particularly when there is a break in the domestic action. This competition will run until Sunday 25 May 2009.

The Points System
For entering ALL 20 predictions for any given week automatically earns you = 5 points
(Failure to enter all 20 predictions means you lose your 5 point bonus entitlement)
Predicting Home Win = 1 point
Predicting Away Win = 1 point
Predicting Draw = 1 point
Predicting correct scoreline = 3 points
Highest number of correct predictions (Home/Away/Draw) = 2 points.
(In the event of a share of correct predictions you will still gain = 2 points each).

When to post your predictions
As this competition includes both league's globally and midweek/weekend fixtures. 20 Random fixtures will be posted here each week on a Monday morning. All 20 Predictions are expected to be posted 1 hour before the stated kick-off time of the first fixture on the list for example, Tue 19 Aug: Bayern Munich v Stuttgart (19:30), meaning that you need to put your predictions in no later than 18:30 on the day of the game. In the event of you not being able to put your predictions in on time, you may still put the remaining predictions that have not played, however you would lose your 5 point bonus but could still gain valuable points so all would not be lost.

Fixtures for this coming week will be posted in due time. Dont forget to post your predictions 1 hour before the first game. All kick-off times are GMT.
