Round 1 consists of the 12 matches played between Friday 5th August and Sunday 7th August.
Rules are as follows:-
The rules are very simple, just select your predictions for each round and post them. A change in the jokers ruling will apply this season. You will still have 10 jokers to use at anytime throughout the season. However, last season some left most their jokers until the last round, hoping to gain an advantage by selecting all draws. It didn't have the desired effect, but as there will hopefully be prizes again, I think it's fair all round to change the rules slightly. See below for those changes.
So firstly, here is points system for this seasons competition:-
Correct score:-
Draw 6 points, Away win 5 points, Home win 4 points
Correct result:-
Draw 3 points, Away win 2 points, Home win 1 point
10 jokers are available for the whole season and can be used at any time during the 40+ rounds. MAXIMUM amount of jokers for any round will be restricted to up to 3. Correct scores will be x3 points and correct results x2 points when jokers are used.
At the end of each month, the player/s with the most correct results for that month will be awarded 10 bonus points. Those with the second highest correct results 5 points and those with the third highest 2 points.
If any poster thinks he'll miss a round or two (i.e. vacation etc) then I'm willing to post the rounds they'll be away, in advance, thus they won't miss any.

It's good to see that I can recognise the 5 participants so far by the "handles". All the new names are a bit confusing for an old 'un. Everyone should stick to the name god gave them - Wulfrunnut I was christened, Wulfrunnut I will die.

Not to worry Wulfrunnut. I have the user ID's of all the ones who entered last seasons comp.
I did notice the silly season names, i.e a lot of wolfieinthis and wolfieinthat.
