Just over 3 weeks to go to the start of the season and (conscious that some people may be heading away on holiday over the next few weeks) it’s time to bring this back into view!
You may recall from last season that Game 4 ended with no winner and we ended up with a rollover jackpot for Game 5. We ran out of games by the end of the season after 7 rounds and we still had 33 players still standing. The rules stated that the prize fund should be shared in such an outcome but I let the 33 players decide to either take their share of the winnings or let the game continue into this current season. 3 players took their opportunity of getting some winnings leaving 33 players to contest the remaining prize pot of £932.
The three relegated teams have been replaced with the three promoted teams and the players cannot pick any of the teams that they have already picked in the previous 7 rounds. Nobody can pick Manchester City. A full reminder of who is still standing and who has picked who can be viewed here.
Deadline for entries will be 6pm on Friday 16th August.
