2017/18 GOALS GALORE COMP RULES

I thought we’d have a little tweak of the rules for the 2017/18 season just to freshen it up.

01) Each week entrants will select EIGHT MATCHES from the Premiership, Championship, Division One, Division Two, Scottish Premier & National League. Sometimes, FA Cup, Scottish League or National League North & South matches will be added to make the numbers up, where they think that both teams will score.

02) Points are scored for each match selected.  BOTH teams scoring in a match will earn 1 point. If BOTH teams score in ALL EIGHT matches, an additional bonus of FOUR POINTS will be added to the persons score for that week giving TWELVE points for that set of selections.

03) The competition will run from 5th August 2017 until 5th May 2018, dates to be confirmed. 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 the 8 default matches will be used.

05) Once posted there will be no editing or alterations, or your entry will be classed as void and the default matches will be used. IF BAD WEATHER CAUSES POSTPONEMENTS, no one should be penalised for posting early. There will be a lucky dip match to cover your postponed match. Lucky dip No's for postponements will be (in order of the fixtures i print) Match 5, Match 15, Match 25, Match 35. Match 6, Match 16, Match 26 & Match 36, depending on number of games postponed.  Non posts will be covered by these match numbers 5, 6, 15, 16, 25, 26, 35 & 36.

06) Bets. People will place a £10 Bet of their choice each time it's their bet.. They can bet £5.00 or £7.50 each round and make any deficit up on the final bet should they want to.

07) Prizes. *** Slight Change***
All members will name a team from each of the SIX Leagues named in rule No 1 BEFORE the season starts. Naming the champions of each league will score one point, runners up 2 and so on. The member with the LOWEST combined score next May will win 10% of the overall kitty.

The breakdown of the REMAINING 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% equally shared.

08) 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. It will probably be me. If you don’t, you’ll just get the default matches anyway. ;-)

Frankie - alls good for me........re the bets - are you saying that they should ONLY be on both teams to score ? As you know some of us did try to go for a bigger payout by varying the bet format this season - I don't have any issue but would just like things to be clear.

all good with me

No mate. It's a GG Comp but there are other bets now like result and BTTS so place whatever bet you want.
At the end of the day, the more returns, the more we ALL receive.
I've edited the rules regarding the bet mate.

You ain't getting your hands on it this year mate !!!

That's 8 and if Jase gets another one from work, that's 9.
I'll PM Marko and John to see if they want to have another bash.
8 or 10 are the ideal numbers bet wise.
