Rules 2024/25 Season

[Shade]

- Full time outcome (CTFC win, draw or opposition win) - 3 points
- Correct score - 3 points
- First CTFC goalscorer - 3 points. Predicting no scorer is also 3 points.
- Minute of the first CTFC goal - 6 points if spot on. 3 points if you predict within the 10 minute period, 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc. "No goal" will also get 3 points if CTFC don't score. To stop dissent within the ranks, if you predict no CTFC goal you cannot pick a goalscorer or a minute of first goal - "Goalscorer" and "Minute" will be marked as though you predicted none.
- If you get all four categories correct for one match (or closest in the case of first goal time), you get a bonus 10 points, so maximum score for one round is now 25 points.

- This season, bankers (£) will be introduced. Every predictor will start with three bankers and be able to use them, one at a time, whenever they like throughout the season. Whatever they score on the match day will be tripled when using their banker. The number of £'s by your name depicts how many bankers you have left to use.
- For a sacrifice of 10 points you may buy another “banker” at any point, unless you are in first place overall.
- At the half way point of the League season, all those in the bottom half of the table will be given 3 extra bankers.

- At the end of the season, if it goes down to the final day, those involved should PM me their final predictions and I will then post them at the same time shortly before kick-off (if I'm involved, unlikely, I'll need a volunteer!)

- FA Cup & EFL Cup games will count. Papa Johns/EFL Trophy will not due to the unpredictable lineups. Predictions are for results after 90 minutes. ET and penalties do not count.

Thanks Shade.

Really appreciate the effort you put in to this.

I tried the tactic of never predicting us to lose last season. Unsurprisingly, I came bottom.

Looking forward to this one.

Here we go again; grateful thanks to Shade for taking up the cudgels again. Much appreciated. Hopefully all "oldies" will return and more 'newbies' emerge. I'll draw a veil over GCCC and the Chelt ckt fest to date; sufficient to say looking forward to the new footy season and sincerely hope we do well; and finish higher than last season!
