Brin can I have 2 teams?

Players who don't play can fek off. If they can't be bothered then they can fek right off. Lazy twohatz

You should try running one of these Cayton. Spend all the time and effort to work out the scores and league table for 20+ weeks, have players miss a couple of times over Christmas because they are away or pissed up and then they give up because they are now 20 points adrift. I suppose that was more of a problem when we began the seasons with 60+ players and ended them with 20-30.

@ Brin Hope you're good at spread sheets !

[Brin]

If you want to attract more players I still think there should be a provision for posters missing week(s) either down to simply forgetting or some family/health/Internet issue coming up. Otherwise 'fringe' players will drift away once they've missed a couple of weeks and see little/no chance of winning.

I'd suggest either (a) make the season X number of weeks and allow a maximum of Y weeks to be played (e.g. 46 and 40) or (b) award posters who miss a week the average points scored that week up to a maximum of X times during the season.

CAM, we had the exact same discussion last season and the answer still came out the same. We treat this league like the Super 6 league. Miss any games for whatever reason and you score zero. You're either in for the lot or you miss a few and hope to play catch up. Keep it simple and just let it play out, I know what it's like to miss posting as I missed posting in a league I was in, on the Super 6, it cost me £45 for missing that post! My fault so took it on the chin.

BTW, this season there's loads of bonus points up for grabs, that can put you right back in it even if you miss one or two weeks.

Scoring points,. Section 3.
Does this mean we need to get the amount of goals for all 10 games correct or do we need to get the goals per individual game correct.
Eg
Do I put 24 goals (very unlikely) for the 10 games
Or do I put game 1= 2 goals, game 2 =1goal ect

Cayton, seems as last season pal, it's for all 10 fixtures not 5. So, if you fancy 24 all season go for it.

I've posted a more diplomatic reply to CAM's question but, I get your point .

[pip_y]

1 point for nearest to total goals either way if no 10 pointer?

Decent suggestion pip_y but it has to be bang on fella. Makes it more manageable.

[Brin]

I will be posting the first set of 10 fixtures on Sept 1st, that gives you all 12 days to get your first of the new season's predictions in.

It's totally free so why not have a go.

Good luck to everyone who enters
