Nev has asked me to assist him with this again as he is still not allowed outside the plastic bubble the Royal Victoria Infirmary placed him in when he developed his allergy (ImmunoUpdatitis) which results in him going into anaphylactic shock whenever he views last weeks football results. I understand that he will be in hospital until after New Year, due to the number of matches during this period. Competition will be run in same way as last year. 1. Single league format until we reach a point where number of entrants is close to number of remaining teams (~32 entrants we have one league round, ~16 entrants we have two league rounds). 2. Position in the league will be used to determine who plays who in knockout stages (top vs bottom etc). Depending on numbers additional places awarded in knockout to entrants finishing top of league (i.e we have 15 entrants, then go to knockout stage at 5th round and winner gets 2 entries making 16 teams) 3. Predict again for any replays. In a replay score at end of extra time is the one used. Can predict a draw for a replay and you will be correct if it goes to penalties. 5. Scoring system: Some changes from last year: 1) 5 points for correct result and score 2) 2 points for correct result and correct relative score (i.e score is 2-1 you predict 3-2 - you get 2 points). Note: Doesn't apply to a Draw. Just one point for Draw prediction with wrong score. 3) 1 point for correct result only 4) 0 points for getting it wrong 5) Immediate disqualification for copying somebody else's results in a flippant manner 6. Prediction changes allowed any time up to kick off based on post time. 7.
