So a few of you here may have seen the old Pick-a-winner game, this will be very similar to that, but will include more ways to earn points, a wider range of games to pick from, and a completely new format. Here's the rules:
Playing is simple: Over the course of the game pick 3 matches from the upcoming weekend(10 matches), and post who you think will win them. The scoring points besides each fixture represent the points you score if the corresponding team wins.
Example picks - Say that weekend the fixtures were: Chelsea vs Sunderland(2-17) Everton vs Arsenal(14-4) Barca vs Atletico M(7-13) Man city vs Birmingham(5-15) Ajax vs PSV (10-10) Stoke vs Liverpool(14-6) Roma vs Lazio(10-10) West Ham vs Blackpool(11-8) Wolves vs Bolton(13-6)
Then [Player 1] comes along and makes these picks: Paw01 Sunderland over Chelsea Paw02 Liverpool over Stoke Paw03 Lazio over Roma
Then say these were the results: Chelsea 0-3 Sunderland Liverpool 0-2 Stoke Lazio 2-2 Roma [Player 1] would get 17 points from Sunderland, 0 points from Liverpool(Because he got it wrong) and 3 points from Lazio(Points were halved because it was a draw). Total score of 20 for that week. Get it?
Before posting picks, check that the matches haven't started yet.
A pick that is posted after a match started is invalid and may be replaced.
Week 1 - Begin 19th Feb - Pick 3 matches! Celtic vs Rangers(10-10) Chelsea vs Everton(8-12) Marseille vs St Etienne(10-10) Mainz vs Bayern Munich(10-10) Inter vs Juventus(9-10) Roma vs Napoli(11-9) Barca vs Bilbao(8-13) Sporting vs Benfica(9-11)
Only 8 matches for next week, it may vary each week. Reply to this post with your picks!
Paw01 Bayern Munich over Mainz Paw02 Barca over Bilbao Paw03 Marseille over St. Ettienne
I'm not touching Celtic v Rangers, if I pick the Ger's and they lose i'll feel like I jinxed them them and if I pick Celtic and they win i'll feel guilty for picking them! So that one's a no no for me! Lol
Week 1 is over - Congrats to GreatScot, Hangtime and Lifeguard for their wins on week 1!
GreatScot got the 2 point bonus for his superb score of 28, whereas Cloudst got a 1 point bonus for the 2nd highest score.
Look up to post 5 for a full round up of the scores. I'm away for a while so check back in late Feb or early March for another set of pawslivjn matches
