IT'S BACK - THE CHARLTON LIFE PREDICTIONS LEAGUE+++CASH PRIZES THIS YEAR+++

Now in its 9th season, welcome to what some people are already calling 'the opening week of the season'.

No1in SouthLondon joined the Hall of Fame with a 5-point victory last season, proving that this game is totally about luck not skill and any old idiot can win it :-)

To make this year's offering more tempting, we are throwing the cash at it like a Fake Sheik in a slut stitch-up. On offer this season will be....

£50 1st prize for the winner

A money can't buy Charlton Athletic Notebook and Pen for the runner-up

£10 bonus* whenever someone gets the holy grail of all three correct scores

So if you an old player or new, if you've read this far, then don't click away without selecting three from the below. It's only a bit of fun, but you've got to be in it to win it !

All you have to do is predict the result from three games on the selected weekly list of fixtures.

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 ! (And thanks once again for @Shirty5 continuing with the time-consuming score compilation)
