Les has randomised a list of all 116 Football League and Conference teams and you choose a number which will be your team for the duration of this particular competition. You can have as many teams as you like but each team will cost £10.
The competition will be won by the first team (or teams) to score EXACTLY 21 goals in weekend games (Friday-Monday). If your team plays twice in this period then only the first game counts and you must wait until all the weekend games have been played before a winner is declared. (ie - if your team is on 19 and scores 2 goals on the Saturday, you must wait until after any games played on the Sunday or Monday, in case another team also reaches 21). If you "bust" (go over 21 goals) then you are out of that particular competition. If for any reason your team doesn't play in this period you will score a default 2 goals. You should get a good 7-8 weeks entertainment from each competition.
The winner (or winners) will get (or share) a certain percentage of the pot. There will also be 2 booby prizes (the amount of which to be decided) for the lowest scoring team(s) when the competition is won and also for the first team(s) to score nil on 3 consecutive games. (If this prize is not won in will go into the pot for the next game). When the final pot is known (deadline for entries is Thursday 14th August) I will donate 25% to The Mariners Trust. In the very unlikely event that every team busts then 50% would go to The Mariners Trust with the remaining money being carried over into the pot for the next competition.
Les is running this on The Fishy but people don't really need to be members on there and it is open to anyone. All he needs is your entry fee of £10 per team to be sent via Paypal to [email protected] and 3 numbers between 1 and 116 for your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice of teams.
