    Point System

    Points are awarded as follows
    • Correct Result – 2 Points
    • Correct Score - 3 Points
    • Correct Scorer – 1 Point
    Bonus Points. 3 bonus points will be awarded to anyone who makes a perfect prediction. A perfect prediction is the correct result, score and all City Scorers correctly predicted

    Penalty Points. If you predict City scoring more than 5 or more goals you will get a penalty of -1 for each incorrect scorer. This is to prevent abuse by naming all 11 starters as scorers for guaranteed points.

    Prizes

    All entrants will receive a banner at the end of the season

    To Be Announced

    1st Place at the end of the season will get to choose their prize from the list above, 2nd will get to choose from what's left and so on until all prizes have been awarded

    Keep an eye out on the thread for updates and new prizes as they are added

    Want to contribute a prize? Any help with prizes would be greatly appreciated. This can be done either as official business sponsorship, a private sponsorship or on an anonymous basis. If you provide a prize as a business we will include your name and branding in all Prediction League threads and promotions via social media

    Based on feedback from some players I am also going to try doing a community prize.

    To contribute to the community prize head to my Buy Me A Coffee page (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wakey) and make a donation. You don't need to leave your name but in the 'Say Something Nice' field just put #PredictionLeague. All money gained (minus card fees) will be used to add a community-contributed prize to the prize pool. Around about March/April, I will see how much has been made and put up a vote visible to anyone who has donated to pick what this prize will be.

    You can donate £1, £3 or £5 or a custom amount. Personally, I would suggest at least £2 just because £1 sees over half of it gets eaten up by fees (The payment processors have a base fee of 42p + a further percentage)


    Know a company that might like to provide a prize? Point them to this thread, especially if its a company that provides a product or service that is City related or is likely to be appealing to the City Worldwide fanbase

    Special Rounds

    Special Prize Rounds

    Certain rounds will be defined as Special Prize rounds. There will be prizes available to the top scorer(s) of this round. How many and when these rounds is at the discretion of the competition organisers

    FA Cup & League Cup

    FA Cup matches will be included this year but will only score half points. We will be using the rule introduced for the Euros where you are predicting the score and result as of 90mins. However, any correct goalscorer who score in extra time will see you receive half the points you would have got for a goal in normal time (0.25points). You will not score points for scoring in a penalty shootout

    EFL Trophey

    To give you all a reason to actually care about the EFL games these will also be included this year. They will carry just 25% of a league games score. You never know though, it might just make the difference at the end of the season.

    As with FA and League cup Games your predictions are on the score in normal time. You will receive no points score scorers in a penalty shootout. If City reaches a round that has Extra time you will receive half the points for a extra time goalscorer as you would in normal time (so 0.125 points)

    Cheers, that will certainly help add another price. If I wasn't in a rush I would have perhaps taken that part out as no-one contributed towards a community prize last season so glad I didn't as an extra prize is always a plus.
