Any tips to a rank amateur. Scoring seems a bit complicated,
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

Do Oz and Caller get handicapped by the way?

Handicap me ?

I know nothing about it and for that reason I think I will give this one a miss.

Pretty straight forward. You'll get the hang of it after the first week. Pete :cheers:


Wrong outcome -10
Example: You predict Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2

Correct outcome but wrong goal difference +10
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 4 - Chelsea 2

Correct outcome and correct goal difference +15
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 3 - Chelsea 2

The draw predicted correctly but incorrect result +20
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 2 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 1

Correct result +30
Example: You predict Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2

Correct Banker Placement x2 or x3
If you place the Banker Chip on any correct outcome your points score for that fixture is multiplied. If a fixture contains a team that finished within the top 4 league places in the previous Gameweek the multiplier will be x2 otherwise it will be x3.

Correct Insurance Placement 0
Example: If you placed your Insurance chip on a fixture whose outcome you predicted incorrectly then the worst you can score is 0.

Banker Bonus
If you place your Banker correctly your Banker Bonus for the following week is credited with +5 points up to a maximum of +20. If you place your Banker incorrectly, your Banker Bonus is reset to zero for the following week. If you decide not to play your Banker your bonus will be protected but you will not score your bonus for that Gameweek.

On correct outcome the Banker Bonus works as follows:
Wk0 0
Wk1 +5
Wk2 +10
Wk3 +15
Wk4 (maximum) +20
Wk5 (maximum) +20

Great!, the more the better, especially new players. This is really the granddaddy of our league pools on here and it' a lot of fun, although very frustrating at times. :banghead: :D Pete :cheers:

I kick myself now in our F1 pool for not copying and posting our standings after race 1 for comparison purposes. Although more than halfway through F1 now, I'm going to do it so we can see progression for the rest of the races.

In turn, someone please remind me to do the same for IKTS after game 1 and game 19 because I think no way to go back and see standings on the web site to understand where you were? Pete :cheers:
