If no predictions are received from a player before 5pm on the Friday, then that player will have as their predictions for each fixture the score of 3 v 3.
Scoring or Points
For season 2023/24 point scoring will be as follows, of 5 points for correctly
predicted score, and 2 points for incorrect score but correct result, i.e. home win.
i.e. player selects 2v2 for that fixture, and the actual score for that fixture finishes
as 2v2 they will score 5 points.
and 2 points for an incorrect score but correct home win, away win or draw
outcome i.e. player predicts 2v2 for that fixture, but the final score of that fixture ends up as 1v1, therefore the player correctly predicted a draw.

money. This will be shared if more than one player finishes on same points.
The Margaret Stanbridge Memorial knockout competition.
(formally The Prediction Challenge Cup)
In memory of Margaret Stanbridge who sadly passed away, the Prediction Challenge Cup has been renamed The Margaret Stanbridge Memorial knockout competition.
If the total amount of players is either 32 or 64 then there is no need for a
qualifying Period as 64 or 32 breaks down to a final of 2 players, however if the
amount of players is any other total, then during November there will be a
qualifying competition, with the 64 or 32 players who score the highest total
amount of points during November going through to the knockout competition which starts in January 2024.
The winner of the Margaret Stanbridge Memorial knockout competition, will win the associated prize money.
The runner up will receive the associated prize money.
How the Margaret Stanbridge Memorial knockout competition works.
So how does the competition work?
Well, I have used myself and my wife Karen as the two players for this very
simple explanation of how this competition works.
So in the first round of the competition,
Rich Gates is drawn against Karen Gates.
1. Gates v K.Gates
So for that week, the normal competition runs as normal with R. Gates and
K.Gates entering their 5 prediction scores as normal.
So in that week once all five prediction results are known,
1. Gates scores a total points for that week of 4 points.
However K.Gates for that same week scores 12 points.
Therefore the result of the fixture of R.Gates v K.Gates would be as follows;
R.Gates 4 v 12 K.Gates,
with K.Gates progressing to the next round, and R.Gates being knocked out of the cup competition.
Joker Cards
We will operate the joker system again in the 2023/24 season with
each player having 3 jokers to use throughout the season.
Each player will be given three joker cards that can be played any time between
Week 1 and Week 40 of the competition.
Only one joker card can be played in any given week.
In the week the player decided to play their joker card, their weekly points will be
doubled (however these doubled up points will not count for purposes of the Highest Weekly points Competition.
Should more than 50% of the 5 fixtures in any given week be postponed and you have played your joker that week, you will be given the choice to either keep your joker in place, or have it returned to you and therefore not have played it that week.
Charity Donation
10% of each player’s entry fee will be donated to a local charity;
The charity we support as a competition is Luton FoodBank.
