Rules, Entry Fee and Prize Money

Rules
Entries must be received by 5pm on Friday BEFORE the first games of the Premiership. This is usually one week after the lower divisions start, and is likely to be around the middle of August.

Entries must include your prediction for the top four and bottom four clubs, in any order, from the Premier League, Championship, League 1 and League 2.

To enter a team simply click on the 'Enter a Team' link, fill in the entry form and press the submit button.

Each club you choose will pick up points dependent on the league points they score.

Any team not completing the season will be deemed as finishing bottom of their respective league with the same points total as the otherwise bottom team.

In addition to league points, bonus points will be awarded for clubs placed in the top four or bottom four positions of each league.

Bonus points are awarded as follows:

Position	Points
Top of the league	20 points
Second	15 points
Third	10 points
Fourth	5 points

Position	Points
Bottom	-20 points
One from bottom	-15 points
Two from bottom	-10 points
Three from bottom	-5 points

The total from the bottom clubs scores are then subtracted from the total from the top clubs scores, to give an overall total for your entry.

Example of scoring system:

Top Selection

Team	Points	League Position	Bonus	Your Score
Man Utd	84	1st	+20	104
Arsenal	71	5th	0	71
Chelsea	83	2nd	+15	98
Liverpool	25	19th	-15	10

Total Score for Top Selection 283

Bottom Selection

Team	Points	League Position	Bonus	Your Score
West Ham	63	8th	0	63
Aston Villa	11	20th	-20	-9
Charlton	81	3rd	+15	96
Everton	45	14th	0	45

Total Score for Bottom Selection 195

Your Total Score for Premiership = 283 - 195 = 88

The judges decision, on scoring, is final.
