The Rules

In 'Cup' matches (or any match) that can go to 'extra time' or 'penalties', the score after extra time but before Penalties start is used as our score.

You can buy a season ticket (costs £20 before season starts) to play. After the season starts but up to the 5th Friday deadline of each season only, you can still qualify to get the minimum 25 points for weeks 1-4 under our no bad start gaurantee, (in these circumstances the season ticket cost £30). After that 5th Friday you can still join but the season ticket costs the full £40 original price, there are no exceptions to that price.

From the 2017/18 season this rule changed so that all players are guaranteed at least 25 points in The Full 90 for weeks 01-04. I call this The 'NO BAD START' rule. the early matches are often unpredictable and this eases an early bad week as 25 point is the least you can get.

The deadline for Stansted Airport is 8pm Friday night each week, whether or not there is a match on that night, this is to help get the predictions put onto the spreadsheet faster and so get a result quicker than in recent seasons.

Once you have an entry in you are allowed to amend any match that has not already started, simply put XX in the matches already started and your altered predictions for the matches not yet started in as normal.

There are NO PAPER FORMS, it is all done online.

Sending in more than one entry?

I accept and use the LAST entry receive by the deadline.

But you can still ENTER and/or put in a change to a match or matches if all the matches you are altering your predictions on have not yet started.

(the exception to this rule is when I'm away on holiday and no amendments are allowed once past the official deadline),

PLEASE NOTE ONCE YOU PUT IN AN AMNDMENT YOUR OLD PREDICTION IS VOID

so just put XX in the matches already started so I know that you are amneding matches not yet started. if late we will use your first weeks predictions for the matches you missed. If you forget a week, we will likewise use week 1 predictions or what ever was your earliest week was if you didn't enter week 1.

The official deadline is normally 7:45pm on all forms (but can change to the start time of the first match if any Friday Match starts before this time.

Everyone has to have a Season Ticket to play, if you forgot to do an entry we will do one for you within limits.

WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO A FORM (regardless of the above rule) FOR YOU ON THE FINAL 3 FORMS OF THE SEASON, SO BE WARNED!

If you spot a mistake tell me asap! typos happen, but if the winner has been paid out and your amendment might change the winner, while your score will be amended, the winner will remain as paid out, we do not have "spare" money to payout twice. all prizes money come from the season tickets and we pay it all out over the season. The leaderboard score after the final competition are final three days after the last competition get posted up. In this case one "Final" no amendments can take place, so it is vital you check your scores asap.

IF YOU MISS 4 WEEKEND'S IN A ROW, WE STOP PUTTING ENTRIES IN FOR YOU ASSUMING YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED ANYMORE.

All other decisions are taken by me, following common sense! Robert.
