GOALS GALORE COMP RULES 2014/15

GOALS GALORE COMP 2014/15

There will be a few differences from last year’s rules regarding placing their bet but most of the other rules apply ...

01) Each week entrants will pick EIGHT matches (from the premiership, championship, division one, division two, the scottish premier & the conference) where they think that both teams will score. I will put up the matches that you are to choose from for the Saturday only.

02) Points are scored for each successful pick, 1 point per correct pick, if all eight are correct an additional bonus of 4 points will be added to the persons score for that week giving them 12 points for that weekend.

03) The competition will run from 16th August 2014 until May 2nd 2015. There will be two added non weekend dates on 28th December and 1st January. This will make the competition run for 40 weeks in total. All returns will go into the kitty.

04) Your choices must be posted on the appropriate thread by 12pm on Saturday morning or they will be classed as void and not entered.

05) Once posted there will be no editing or alterations, or your entry will be classed as void. IF BAD WEATHER CAUSES POSTPONEMENTS, no one should be penalised for posting early. Add changes as a new post on the same thread. Only any postponed matches may be altered.

06) Bets. Slight change for this season. In line with John’s idea re Lucky 15, I propose all entrants will place a BTTS Lucky 15 when it is their turn. This will cost £7.50 per turn but you will have no more than 5 turns, probably 4 (If we get 10 entrants) and possibly 3, subject to having 11, 12 or 13 entrants.

07) Prizes.
Any returns from the above will be split between prize money for the top 3 and prize money for ALL other entrants. This seemed to work well last season where everyone who stuck it out got something back.  The breakdown of any returns will be as follows:-
Returns split 80/20. 80% split between the top 3, 20% between the others.
Top 3’s 80% split this way.
1) 60%
2) 30%
3) 10%
other entrants 20% of total returns shared.
(Examples would be a) £200 total returns, winner would get £96.00, runner up £48.00 and 3rd would get £16.00. All others would get the £40 divided accordingly. If there were another 6, they would get £6.66 each. If there were another 8, they would get £5 each. b) £300 returns, winner would get £144.00, runner up £72.00 and 3rd £24.00. If there were another 6, they would get a tenner each and £7.50 each if there were another 8.

08) The comp will finish on Saturday 2nd of May.

09) Anyone planning on going away for a week or fortnight before the thread is up, send me a PM or e-mail me at my screen name + sky.com with your selections.

Have a read and any suggestions give me a shout.

Seriously considering knocking this on the head chaps. Thread's been up for a fortnight asking for people who are interested and only John & Mark have added to it.
Kicks off in less than a fortnight so want double figures by Friday.
Otherwise i'll just run the C/L comp this season.

Sorry if it causes inconvenience and no probs if someone else wants to do it.

Yep...and asked could it be moved to a separate section (Like the world cup was)

Current entrants = SEVEN
John
Marko
Me
Phil
Jase
Malc
Laz

8 entrants means 5 placed bets each.
In my opinion we MUST have a minimum of 8 to run it.
10 entrants means 4 bets placed each
Daft thing is put this up as a free comp with me sticking a fiver bet down every week and there would be at least a dozen 'other members' who would be joining up.

 

they are coming mate,lots didn't realise you wanted names down,just you wait and see
