One hundred and thirty one registered for competition eight which is an increase of one from competition seven,a great feedback when all told,two years ago i doubted myself when taking this competition on, however i was persuaded from Mr T9row to give it a go and here we are with 131 now registered ( i was happy to go with the 20 players back then but eighty three came in for the first competition ),seventeen teams were selected from us all in round one to get competition eight underway...

01 - No Entry

Surprisingly ten of the seventeen teams selected failed to come in and very surprisingly there was one no entry and out went thirty nine of you at the very first hurdle....

Surprise of the round was at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where 12 of you selected the hosts to defeat bottom side Watford,Doucoure gave the 'The Hornets an early lead ( 6th min ) and it took Spurs until the 86th ( Alli,with a confused VAR ) to equalise and the match was to finish one all and out went...

A goal in the final minute from Alloa's Trouten earned them a 2-2 draw away to Inverness, unfortunately this was to KO a further 8 of our players who selected the Inverness team...

It ended goaless at 'Dean Court where Bournemouth hosted Norwich,in what was generally regarded as a poor game, Norwich were however the slightly better team,out went 4 of you ( all selecting the home team )...

It ended one one at Molineux where Wolves hosted Southampton,Ings put the Saints one up on the 53rd minute however Jiminez equalised from the spot, alas no more goals were to follow and out went a further 4 who selected 'The Wanderers...

In what was always going to be a very tricky fixture to predict on 2 of you selected Liverpool to beat Manchester Utd at Old Trafford,it was never really on though was it ? Rashford had the Reds in front on the 36th minute only for Llaliana to cancel it out with five minutes remaining and out went the brave/silly two...

2 of you fancied Nottingham Forest who were playing away to Wigan on the Sunday and why not as in form Forest were on a magnificent run ( having only lost once in the last thirteen ) ? As it was though, a goal on the 35th minute from Wigans Jamal Lowe done the business for the 'Latics and all three points were theirs and out of the competition went...

And as we all know a poor performance from the famous at Tynecastle was the order of the day on Sunday as we could only draw one one - The least said about that game the better,anyway out went another 2 players who kept faith...

Two of you fancied league leaders Swansea as the visited lowly Barnsley on Saturday and when Ayew shot 'The Swans ahead on the 67th minute it was looking good...Well all for three minutes for that's how long it took for Barnsley to equalise ( Mowatt ) and the match was to finish all square and out went both...

Scottish championship leaders Dundee Utd were visiting Palmerston Park on Saturday and this drew the interest from one of you to select 'The Tangarines,oh dear! Dundee utd were thumped four zero with the QOS goals coming from ex - Ger Dobbie ( 18,70 ),Holt ( 28 ) and Paton ( 77 ) and out went...

Roscowdynamo

And one of you decided to select Preston for their away visit to Reading,again i felt it a very tricky pick and so it proved as Reading finally won the game on the 98th minute with Miazga netting...Yes the 98th minute folks and out went...

Bluefox

And finally the no entry...It always surprises me that folk pay their cash over and then fail to come in ?? @JW1978 failed to enter his predict and simply wasted his fiver.






Well done to the ninety two who made it into round two and the share value now currently sits at...

£7.11








=================================================================


THE FORMAT

That i am using..

1.League fixtures from the top two divisions in both Scotland and England.

2.Saturday and Sunday fixtures only.

3.No less than twenty fixtures.



THE RULES

LEVEL ONE

( rounds 1-4 )


Basic and simple...

1.Select a team,if it wins you are through.

2.You cannot select this team again.

3.You can edit your selection until kick off.

4.If your selected fixture is abandoned you carry through to the next round however you will be required to select an EXTRA team.

5.If your selected fixture is postponed you can either wait until the following round to pick an EXTRA ( as above ) or simply edit.

6.If you fail to enter you will be eliminated.

7.There can be no sharing of the pot at level one stage.if all players were to exit at a particular round then all who took part in THAT round would be immediately reinstated for the next.




LEVEL TWO

( Rounds 5 - 10 )

You are now requested to select TWO teams and from this round onwards you may be offered a share of the pot...

1.If both your selections win you go through to the next round or win the full pot if all of your opponents fail.

2.If only one of your selections win you may be offered a share of the pot ( pro rata ) or win the full pot ifall of your opponents fail to get any selections correct.

3
.If all players fail to get any of their selections correct then all will be offered a share of the pot ( pro rata ).

4.If one player decides to take the share then all must take a share.

5.All players who are subject to a share will be alerted and a decision has to be made no later than Monday midnight.( If no decision is made we take it as read that you wish to continue ).


Arrive at round 10 and we have some very lucky/good players on our hands as in essence you have just completed a thirteen team accumulator.

All winnings will be paid out via bank transfer only ( the same as it came in ),i will message the winner(s) requesting their bank details and money will be transferred immediately.

On completion of each competition there will be a short pause ( about two weeks ) where we will offer places to other forum members who may be interested in coming in and adding to an already respectful pot.

With five pounds now released from every player the pool pot now sits at...



£655 :))

Tough week to choose!
I'll take the scum please (Celtic)

Will soften the blow when Aberdeen lie down again and if they scrape a draw or win, I won't mind being out of the competition.
 
The scum reluctantly but as the poster above said it’ll soften the blow if they win
 
My user name should be changed to , Baws of Steel if this one comes in , PARTICK THISTLE ,please SOW . Hats Off for everything about the competition mate , superb .
