I can't find the rules from the old league but I've looked at similar setups and have come up with the rules below.
If any one has suggestions for improvements before the first match, let me know!
5 points - If you predict the correct score
3 points - If you predict the correct result but not the correct score (e.g you predict H&Y to win and they do)
1 point - For each H&Y goalscorer. You may predict up to four goalscorers, if you predict more the first four will be used. You will receive one point for each goal your goalscorers score, including own goals! So, a hatrick for one of your goalscorers earns you 3 points.
5 points - If you predict the exact attendance.
3 points - If you predict the closest but not-exact attendance. This can be awarded to multiple participants.
All First team matches except friendlies covered. Anyone can start a thread for an upcoming match, you’ll probably get there before I do.
It is assumed the home team’s goals are first and the away team’s second unless clearly stated otherwise. For example 0-3, if H&Y are away, is taken as a H&Y victory prediction.
Cutoff: Entries must be submitted before or at the scheduled kick-off time. Time is taken from the forum’s timestamp. Any late entries will be discarded.
One entry per forum participant per match. If you make more than one, your latest entry before cutoff will be used.
Scores and attendance are taken from hyufc.com. If a match goes to extra time the score and scorers at extra time and before any penalties will be used.
Abandoned and postponed matches, all entrants get one point only, for entering. No points for the score, scorers or attendance.
theAdmin’s decision is final. theAdmin reserves the right to change the rules as necessary.
No official prize short of the glory of being top of the league. I may come up with some token prize for the winner before the end of the season.
