The Entrants

The people shown on [urlnp=http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aqc8BXUgGRwMdFAya1VHYmEySDN2dUZ5MnVodk5xT0E&hl=en]THIS[/urlnp] spreadsheet are in the competition.


The Aim

The competition is based on prediction the outcome of the last Premiership Games of the season. You must predict whether each game will end as a Home Win, Away Win, Score Draw or No Score Draw.


The Scoring System

For each Home win you correctly predict you will get 1 point.
Correctly predicted Away Wins earn you 1.5 points
If you manage to predict a score draw you get 3 points
2 points are awarded for correctly predicting No Score Draws

*Double points will be awarded for correctly predicting the outcome of West Ham V City*

The winner is the player with the most points. The [urlnp=http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aqc8BXUgGRwMdFAya1VHYmEySDN2dUZ5MnVodk5xT0E&hl=en]spreadsheet[/urlnp] will be updated shortly after the games are complete.


The Tie Breaker

In the event of 2 or more players gaining the most points the winner will be the player who comes closest to predicting the total attendance of all 10 Premiership games.

In the event that there is still more than 1 winner we will think of another way to decide the winner.

If she agreed to fall on all of our respective swords, we might agree. Have you got any video evidence that she's a fit bird?

Lee, can you replace me please...I am starting a new contract in a week and won't be able to make the trip. (The other option is to not start the new contract, but then I wouldn't be able to afford anything while I was there)
