***IT'S BACK ! CHARLTON LIFE PREDICTIONS LEAGUE (WIN A SIGNED SHIRT)

Yes, the competition that brings weekly joy and fulfilment to Charlton fans throughout the globe, and equally ruins my Sunday evenings / Monday mornings, is back for its 4th season.

109 of you participated in last season’s Predictions League, and an epic battle to the end saw Oohaahmortimer edge out Shirty5.

For those that have not played before, the concept is so simple, even Off It understands it. Predict the result from three games on the list below. You get:
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 skilful enough to get all three results exactly right, you get the joy of 5 bonus points, and the pain of finding out what the odds would have been if you had placed it with the bookies !

One new rule is being introduced. Participation historically eases through the season as some players miss weeks for one reason or another, and then decide to jack it in. With this in mind, and to encourage continued participation, participants will be granted three byes for times when they don’t have net access, are away etc. In that instance, added to your score will be the average points score from the other participants for that week (final three weeks of the season won’t count).

As with last season, the winner will receive a Charlton shirt signed by the squad, while the runner up will receive whatever I can get my hands on. But as we all know with anything Charlton, its not about the winning…….

Good luck everyone !
