 The frames and examples below confirm how to calculate your points total                              
                                                                 

 3

The black text in the silver frames below relates to match questions 1 and 2 on the entry form.These matches have already been played so the actual results are readily available.The points earned from this section reflect that these answers should be correct
                                                                 

4

 The burgundy text in the yellow frames below, the blue and green text in similar coloured frames and the red text in the red frames all relate to questions 3, 4, 5 and 6 on the entry form. These are the matches you have been asked to predict the results
                                                                 

5

 It will readily be seen that predicting away wins earn more points than predicting a home win or a draw. Similarly predicting a drawn match earns more points than predicting a home win.But of course your skill factor comes into consideration when predicting the actual results of matches
                                                                 

6

 The purple text in the mauve frames at the bottom of this page shows the bonus points that can be eaned for multiple correct result predictions to matches 3 -6. It should be understood that to earn bonus points you do NOT have to predict the correct scoreline, only the correct match result.Please note that bonus points do not apply to questions 1 and 2 as these matches have already been played and consequently the results are already known.
                                                                 

7

 The purple text in the yellow frame above relates to the 'penalty shoot-out'. The points that can be earned under this section only come into play in the event of a number of individuals having the same total points and applies for prizes 1-15 as detailed on the Cost and Prizes page.

 The examples below should ,hopefully, give you a full understanding of the points system. If you require any clarification please ring us on 01205-280121 or 07957542695
                                                                 

For all the examples below we are assuming a 'CLOSING DATE for ENTRIES' as Friday 26th September 2008
                                                                 

The match immediately below was played on Saturday 20th September , so the result was known when the entry form would have been received on Thursday 25th September

The points scored reflect the fact that the answer should have been correct as the match had already been played as stated above.
                                                                 

The four matches below were played on Saturday 27th September , so these are those matches where you would have been asked to predict the results. It follows therefore that the results were NOT known , ONLY PREDICTED, when the entry form would have been received on Thursday 25th September.

  The points scored reflect the fact that the scorelines and results were only predictions when the entry form would have been received.

To earn bonus points only the match result is of any importance not the actual scoreline. Nor do you have to select all away wins, drawn matches or home wins. Any correct combination of results will earn bonus points as shown in the examples below

It should be clearly understood, as stated in point 6 above, that bonus points can only be earned for correct results for matches 3-6

No bonus points are allowable for matches 1 & 2 as these games had already been played, and the results known, before the 'Closing Date for Entries' specified on each individual entry form.
