Well the new season is just around the corner...so it's time to get your thinking hats on and see what you know about the Conference. This will (in general) work the same as the World Cup Predictions game. I'll give you the list of matches (grouped together around one weekend or one midweek wherever possible). You predict a score for each of the games. There will be 1 point awarded for a correct result, and 4 awarded for a correct score-line(*). Results will be tallied as and when I can be bothered. Entries for each round will close at one hour BEFORE the first match in that round starts. You should not edit your prediction posts at all, certainly not after the matches have started. There will also be a few changes from the World Cup game. First of all, games involving Rovers and City will score extra points (2 for a correct result, 6 for a correct scoreline). Also I know that the commitment to play week in week out is a big one, so I'll be doing two things to help with this. Firstly I'll get the fixtures up nice and early, hopefully one month in advance. Secondly, to allow people to miss a week here or a week there and yet still have a chance to win, the scores will be done on an average basis...this will be easier to explain once we get started.

Also forgot to mention the tiebreakers...if two players are level on points then positions will be decided by: - Most correct score predictions
- Most rounds played
- Who has given my posts the most likes recently...

I'm in. I thought it would just be rovers games to be honest so it requires a bit more cheating by looking at the bookies site than i thought! Ill get on it when I'm off my nights.

I was gonna just do Rovers, but figured most people liked the WC format and would probably just guess at the other teams matches  Before we get too far/too close to the start of the season, what are people's views? All games, just Rovers and/or City and/or selected teams? Or all Conference games? |

Dave im not sure how you colate the data but if its spreadsheets cant you open another so we have what we have now and another sheet with just rovers and city, if its not to much work then that would be two options as everyone would be in the rovers city league and others would be in both, so some could play the big game ond others the little one (i've just taken my meds so do not know if that made sense sorry)
