23 users now. Cut off time will be Midday for weekend games, 5PM Midweek games. And entries can be submitted for following game anytime after preceding game has ended. If it proves popular and the format is liked I will run it out next season and include cup games. Any suggestions would be helpful, especially the scoring system. And for anyone entering late, they will be awarded 50% of the average score of players already entered.

Thanks for running this comp mate.
My only suggestion (others may disagree) is to be firm with your cut-off times and not count late entries. That's what Robo does with his prediction league and everyone has learned to abide by it. Otherwise you will spend all weekend with calculator in hand instead of enjoying yourself (and the footy)!

That's good advice. Also Robo has a set format for scoring and whether you're entering scores by hand or using a content extraction program this will save a mass of time. Currently you have 23 users and 14 different score formats! Suggest writing the fixture out in full like, Stoke v Middelsbro' X-Y (A-B). I should get out more.

That's pretty much what I have done, then will colour code each outcome, blue for standing, green for correct score, red for totally wrong, makes it a tad easier, then I have a leaderboard with the total points linked in to each players scores. I will post the spreadsheet after Saturdays match. And as for the cut off, I will post CUT OFF, and any tips added after will not apply...Cheers for heads up and keep em coming...

V Middlesbrough H/T 1-0 F/T 4-1 I can feel a backlash coming on !!😄 Bit optimistic Dutchy. Unlike Waggy's mate Trevor, they're tight at the back.

Entries now closed for Boro Game. Entries for Man City Game now open. But remember the correct format, fairly obvious but not to all. if you think Stoke will be winning 1 nil HT yr format must be 0-1. I.e Home team first.
If you have not entered for Boro game, all is not lost, or indeed if you wish to enter anytime, you will be awarded 50% of the average of the games you have missed.
If you have already entered, but forget to place your predictions for future fixtures, a default score of 4-4 HT, 4-4 FT, obviously you could still pick up 2 points if it remains a draw for 90 Min, but I think 4-4 is fairer than 0-0 as there will inevitably be 0-0 scorelines along the way. Any suggestions please feel free. Ta

did you cheat? If not well played No, it's just that 1-0 or 2-0 at HT & FT is more common than you might think at home against struggling teams. We often dominate the 1st half then fizzle out and merely protect the lead in the 2nd half. I've seen it quite a lot over the years and this game was no different.
