[Matt50]

So far we have 12 entries and a total prize pool of $240.

The monies will be awarded for the following finishing positions:

1st - $120
2nd - $60
3rd - $40

And last place will win $20 and their money back. This ensures that even if you dont get many of the early selections right you still have a bit of interest!!!

If there are any late entries then of each $20 entry fee paid, $12 will go to 1st, $5 to 2nd and $3 to 3rd.

[Nakor]

Cheers for sorting this Matt.

GL all.

[Matt50]

Just for clarification, the following 5 questions;
First hat-trick
First sending off
First player to miss penalty
First team to score 5 goals
First managerial change

If no-one has any of the correct answers (i.e agbonlahor to score first hat-trick) then it will carry over to the second player to score until somebody is correct.

With regards to the other questions, if nobody has the correct guesses then no points will be awarded.

Hope this is okay with everyone, as it keeps the interest going a bit longer.

[Matt50]

Confirmed prize payouts:
1st - $120
2nd - $60
3rd - $40

And last place will win $20


Well the first weekend of the season didnt see anyone pick up any points.  Tighty would have been hoping that Dean Ashton could add to his early brace to secure the first hat trick points, whilst no-one had Agbonlahor so the quest for points will continue.

Yesterday saw a few people with hopes at half-time of Chelsea scoring 5 goals but it wasnt to be, but both Pelham Boy and Nakor would have had high hopes when Aston Villa got their fourth goal with 15 minutes still to play.

No sending offs and no missed penalties, so after the first weekend of games no points have been scored.

[cia260895]

so who is leading the table at the mo then?

[Matt50]

The second weekend of the Premiership season has seen the opening points in the prediction competition, as both Steelio and Rookie (Rodney) gained 1 pt for having Kevin Nolan as their 3rd choice to miss the first penalty.

Nobody had Marc Noble of West Ham to be the first player sent off so that question will roll over to the next player.

Steelio                1

I run so bad.  I pick three West Ham players in the 'first to be sent off' - and still didn't pick the right one!
