Last updated by PR on 03-May-12: FA Cup fixture (hey, what the fuck is going on calling it "The FA Cup with Budweiser" ????)
(I don't always update for the next match, just select our next opponent from the list if needed)
There are two main things you'll be predicting, 1) Long-Term Season Predictions, and 2) Match Predictions. Use the BPL Match Entry Form on the left to send in predictions for each match. Long-Term Predictions need to be in by 31st August 2011 for full points, otherwise by 31st December 2011 for 50% of the points.Entries must be in before midnight UK-time the day before the game. For example, if the game kicks-off at 3pm Saturday, your entry needs to be in before the end of Friday UK time. The important stat is Average Points Per Game so newcomers can start playing and if successful, go right to the top of the standings!
To ensure that newcomers don't lead the standings through one great prediction, after 10 matches played you'll have to have predicted twice to remain in the updated table; after 20 matches, you'll have to have predicted three times, and so on and so forth. Otherwise you'll drop out of the standings table...and we don't want that to happen, do we?
