Hey, I'm Bowl, I'm a newbie here but I've been on quite a few forums around the world so I'm nothing new in that sense I've been playing a game on a tennis forum for a couple of years(So does another guy on footytube, I won't mention his name) and I though it would translate into football quite well.

See the rules, tell me if you like it

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Playing is simple: over the course of the year choose any 3 matches from the upcoming Premier league 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. Whoever has the most points at the end of the year is the winner.

Example picks - Say that weekend the fixtures were:
Chelsea vs Sunderland(2-17)
Everton vs Arsenal(14-4)
Villa vs Man Utd(13-7)
Man city vs Birmingham(5-15)
Newcastle vs Fulham(6-16)
Stoke vs Liverpool(14-6)
Spurs vs Blackburn(5-12)
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 Newcastle over Fulham

Then say these were the results:
Chelsea 0-3 Sunderland
Liverpool 0-2 Stoke
Newcastle 0-0 Fulham
[Player 1] would get 17 points from Sunderland, 0 points from Liverpool(Because he got it wrong) and 3 points from Newcastle(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.

In case a match doesn't take place due to withdrawal or change of the draw, the pick is invalid and may be replaced. If a player retires or is defaulted after the match has started (even if just one point was played), the pick is valid.

If you want to amend a previous pick (cancel or change), quote the original post and add a new message to this thread. Don't edit a post and never delete it!

Don't forget, you're limited to 3 picks throughout the weekend

Is there a way to edit posts on this website? I'd like to know please.

So, pick from this weekends games now:
Arsenal v Fulham(4-16)
Birmingham vs Spurs(13-8)
Blackburn v Wolverhampton(9-12)
Chelsea v Everton(2-16)
Man City v Bolton(8-12)
