*takes deep breath*
Less than a week to go till we finally get the season started.
We still need to chose a charity (only Wakefield Hospice suggested so far) and then I'll set up the payment platform accordingly.
[iPlease feel free to add your charity suggestions with your week 1 predictions
[/i
The rules are the same as last year, i.e. winner and a margin.
Everyone is welcome - the more the merrier
Just start posting your predictions and then we'll sort out your donations to charity shortly.
A close fought competition last year. Will happyjack/yorkshiredragons and Wakeywakeywakey be back to defend their titles?
Will this be your year?
For those who haven't yet joined in the 'fun', a brief outline:
[iDonation[/i
We ask for a donation to our chosen charity of at least £5, with an initial target of £200, but it's always nice to beat last year's record.
I'll set up an online payment method once we've selected a charity and which platform they prefer.
In previous years, you could pay in person by cash/cheque to Wrencat1873, but I'm not sure when/how that will be possible this year... we'll see. curtain.gif a050.gif
[iFixtures[/i
I'll post the fixtures for each round on here. (See next post for round 1)
Just pick which team you think will win and a margin of victory for each fixture through the course of the season.
So:
[iRound 1 Fixtures
[/i10-Feb Thu St Helens V Catalans
11-Feb Fri Castleford V Salford
11-Feb Fri Hull KR V Wigan
12-Feb Sat Leeds V Warrington
12-Feb Sat Toulouse V Huddersfield
13-Feb Sun Wakefield V Hull FC
Just give a clear indication of which team you think will win each fixture and the margin
e.g.
Catalans by 8
Salford by 1
Hull KR by 46
Leeds by 12
Toulouse by 16
Hull FC by 6
or indicate a draw icon_eek.gif (not sure golden point is in operation, but even then a draw still possible if no score during 10 mins golden point... but even less likely)
[iScoring
[/iFor each result you get:
5 points if you're spot on
3 points if you're within a score (+/- 6 pts)
2 points if you pick the correct team
0 points if you're wrong
e.g. Toulouse 62 v Huddersfield 0
if you put 'Toulouse by 62' then you get 5 points
'Toulouse by 56' would get 3 points
'Toulouse by 12' gets 2 points
'Huddersfield by 62' gets 0 points
A correctly predicted draw would also get 5 points.
[iResults[/i
I'll post the points table each week.
[iDeadline[/i
The deadline for posting is kick-off time for the first fixture.
You can post late, but games that have already started won't count.
As the fixtures are scored individually rather than in rounds, we can include the play-offs and grand final fixtures in the league this year.
There will also be a separate knock-out cup competition included, starting when SL clubs join the challenge cup rounds.
The turnaround is quite quick these days with Thursday Fixtures.
Good Luck icon_cool.gif
