Predictocomp 2020-21 WEEK 1
Here we go again. I can’t see this being a 40-week competition, more like 36 or 37 so it’s a long haul but hopefully enjoyable.
I’ve again decided to keep it the same as previous seasons because it works well and most folk know what to expect. There may be a few newbies, so just look at what the others do. All are welcome so bring your friends - it costs nothing to enter. You’re all playing for the kudos of winning, £80 prize money (so far) to the winner and to hopefully avoid the pointing and laughing that comes with finishing bottom. As a reminder, the rules are as follows:
RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS
I pick the games, mainly from the EFL, and avoid the Premier League like the plague. That’s because this isn’t just about the teams that are always on the telly or players that are forever in the newspapers. I generally put them up around Tuesday each week and entries should be in before kick-off for each game. I produce a league table after every week’s games. If points are the same, up to the final week I’ll put folk in alphabetical order. If a game is postponed, I’ll award points when the game is eventually played. Probably important in these Covid-ridden days.
In each of the three groups try and forecast the results of two of the games and the final scores of the other two. It’s that simple.
Three points are awarded for correct scores. One point is given for each correct result. If a score prediction is wrong but you got the result correct you’ll get a point for that too. I’m too good to you really. You’ll catch on quickly.
Carlisle are making a rare appearance this week!
