3 points are awarded if you accurately predict the exact score of a game, e.g. if you predict Man Utd to beat Arsenal 2-1 and the result turns out to be correct, then you will receive 3 points for that fixture.

If you had predicted a 1-0, 3-2, 4-3 or any win for Utd by a margin of 1 goal, then you would receive 2 points for correctly forecasting the right team to win and also the margin of victory.

A prediction of a Utd win by 2 or more goals would mean you receive only 1 point for that result.

Predicting a draw or a win for Arsenal would have resulted in 0 points being awarded.

All points awarded for each fixture are then added together to give you a weekly total. If your total is higher than any other entrant for that week, then you will receive the weekly prize of a free turn in any one of our play-by-mail football management games, Euro Premier League or Apex PBM Soccer.

Your weekly total score is added to your scores from previous weeks and a league table will show how you are doing in comparison to other entrants. At the end of the season, the entrant with the highest total score from all the weeks added together will win the star prize of an entire free season in either Euro Premier League or Apex PBM Soccer.

The deadline for sending in your predictions is 11.00 A.M. on Saturdays. Any predictions received after the deadline will not be valid.

If you manage to miss a week, your score for that week will be an average of the week's total scores.

If you join the league late, you will automatically be given a points total to get you started that reflects a mid-table position in the league.
