The COYR Forest Forum - Aaron Higgs Predictions League 2022/23

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

I have been giving this a lot of thought recently and I have come up with the following idea:

Despite what I said a few days ago there WILL be prize money for the winner of this seasons Predictions League as well as the runner up.

This is how it will work providing there are enough participants.

1. Prize money will be 150 pounds for the winner and 50 pounds for the runner up.

2. Each participant will pay 25 pounds to enter via the donate button and all proceeds will go towards prize money and towards the ever increasing running costs of this forum (please note we don't have any ads to cover our expenses).  Please state your username in the donation so I will know who you are.

3. If there are not enough participants then all donations will be refunded.

4. Full time scores only, no half time scores or golden goals except the last match (see point number 7 below) .

5. 5 points awarded for each correct score and 2 points awarded for correctly predicting a home win, away win or a draw. The table will be updated the following day after every match.

6. Only Premier League games, no Cup games.

7. If two or more participants have the same points after the last match, the winner will be decided by golden goal. In other words the golden goal will be used only for the last match if necessary. Then the participant who is closest to the first goal time will be the winner.

8. The deadline for participants is 12.00 midday (UK time) Saturday 6th August.

9. All scores must be submitted before kick off time. Any scores submitted after kick off time will be invalid.

Feel free to post in the thread and to let others know if you are going to take part.

Good luck to all participants!

Sounds like a great idea, so if we get more than 10 people is the rest going towards the website? Seems like an excellent opportunity for people to contribute to the running costs in that scenario.

Yes that is exactly what will happen Wassy.

Thanks for that Simon.

I put a  lot of thought into it to find a way to make the Predictions League to work in a fair way.

Now for 20 pounds all members have a chance to win a 150 pounds knowing that if they don't win then at least they have contributed to the continued up keep of the forum. It's a great chance for members to feel part of the forum and lets be honest a Predictions League without any prize money would not be the same.

Hope more members will step forward and become a part of the Predictions League and to become more actively involved in the forum over all.

I'm in but for superstitious reasons only and hope to finish bottom!
