Incredibly now in its 12th season, welcome back once again to the competition that's more eagerly anticipated than a set of Rachel Riley leaked iCloud pictures (one day chaps, one day)
Having been attached to his pencil and calculator since 2009/10 season,
@shirty5 has sadly decided to take early retirement, so we reluctantly thank him for his loyal efforts over the years at Team CL. But do not fear, the show goes on but with the added ingredient of a lot more mistakes :-)
So, a recap. It's so simple Joey Essex could manage this. All you have to do is predict the result from
three games on the selected weekly list of fixtures (we sometimes omit fixtures we think are likely to be very one-sided gimme, like Chelsea v Dagenham, Man City v Newport or Charlton v Millwall). This week's opener there are 20 fixtures selected, in future this might be narrowed
Scoring:-
1 point if you get the scoreline in the right direction (home win, draw, away win),
-
3 points if you get an exact scoreline (2-1),
- and if you are lucky enough to get all three results exactly right, you get the joy of
5 bonus points (total 14 points), (and the disappointment of finding out what the odds would have been if you had placed it with the bookies!)
- To encourage continued participation, participants are granted
three byes throughout the season for when they forget to enter, are away etc. In that instance, added to your running total will be the average points score from the other participants for that week (final three weeks of the season won’t count). You do not have to do anything to have the bye total added to your score, it will be calculated for you.
Good luck everyone
