    Hopefully all last seasons punters will participate again. New suckers welcome.

    NOTE: For those buggers with chameleon/multi-personality tendencies, name changes will not be tolerated during the season. Scorekeeper will deduct all points amassed under original name from STD totals...so there.

    NOTE: City will obviously be one of the 3 Championship games to be selected. Still want 5 PL games etc. Bloody relegation.

    SOMEONE PLEASE SELECT 10 FIXTURES for next weekend
    (following the attached rules).
    Most important:
    1) 10 fixtures only....no game must start before 3 pm (UK time) on the Saturday (except if it's City's game).
    5 fixtures from the PL.
    3 fixtures from the Championship
    1 fixture from League 1
    1 fixture from League 2.

    RICARDO's RULES:
    General Rules:


    Predict the games that are posted, you get 3 points for getting the correct scoreline, or 1 point for getting the correct Home/Draw/Away.

    There are two competitions, one overall competition to get the most points, and a second to see who wins the most rounds.
    If two (or more) people are level on points in the overall competition then the one who has had the most 3 point predictions will be considered as being ahead. In the weekly wins table if two (or more) people have the same number of wins then the one with the highest score in any week will b considered as ahead.

    Fixtures will (where possible) be made up of 5 PL games, 3 Championship games (including City's game if playing), 1 League 1 game, and 1 League 2 game. This will obviously vary when there are Cup weekends or just silly amounts of games rescheduled for other reasons.

    No games will kick off before 3pm on Saturday unless it is City's game. This is so that people can come on and post their predictions ahead of leaving the house to go to the game on a Saturday afternoon. Monday night games will count as weekend games when it's a game moved for TV which we're likely to have a few of due to the Europa League playing on a Thursday.

    For the benefit of nameless individuals (ie most of you don't need to read this but I'm going to explain what will happen in certain situations that came up last season)

    There will only be fixtures to predict on weekends when Hull City have a game. There will only be midweek rounds when there are unusual fixtures due to holidays (eg Xmas and New Year, and Easter). European games and other midweek Cup games won't be included.

    Fixtures will be posted (by anybody) before 11:59pm on Wednesday for that weekend. If this deadline is missed then weekend games will not be predicted that week, but midweek games from the following week can be used so long as they're posted by 11:59pm on Friday.

    Fixtures for Round 2 can be posted as soon as the first game in Round 1 has kicked off (and so on in following weeks) and the first person to post fixtures after that point will be the one who decides which games we're predicting (so long as their choice meets the other rules). If 2 people post different sets of fixtures at almost the same time then the first set will be used, but nobody will be penalised if they use the wrong set before it's been corrected/edited.

    If there's an accidental change to the fixtures (eg someone misses a game out when they copy the post) then all the predicted games will be scored, and if anybody has predicted less games as a result they'll be given an extra fixture at a later date to stop them losing out.

    If there's an intentional change to the fixtures because someone doesn't like the ones that have been chosen the person who changes them will have their predictions ignored/deleted. Anyone who copies the changed fixtures rather than the originals before they are removed will not be penalised, and will be treated the same as when there's an accidental change.

    The deadlines for posting fixtures have been clearly laid out, if one has passed and midweek fixtures are being used instead and someone decides to post weekend ones because they've decided there's still plenty of time then they will be ignored/deleted and there'll be a 10 point penalty for them.

    If there's whinging about the games that have been selected, even though the games selected meet all the rules given (or any other trivial complaints) the person concerned will have their predictions for that week deleted/ignored.

    If someone breaks the rules above, other than making a post containing acceptable fixtures leave it for the organisers to deal with. Any trying to get other people's predictions for the week deleted will result in your own predictions being deleted/ignored.

    By entering this competition you accept that if you breach the rules above your predictions can be deleted by a moderator in accordance with those rules even when the post in question does not breach normal forum rules.

    Both of 'em. Send me your certificates, or a hundred quid, whichever is easier.

    Wasn't there also an 'in house' competition just for forecasting Hull City's results?
    I seem to remember Mr Hat (I think) and myself battling this down to the wire last season.
    Someone sent me a box of steak knives (manufactured by 'Striker and Co.<laugh>) but fortunately they failed to explode.
