One of the SFCU staples in old times. Keen to bring this back so here we go for Game 1. I’ll try and create an honour board on this page as well as we go along in the season.
Rules are simple
pick a winner from list of games provided by Friday 5pm, if your selection draws or loses you get knocked out
last person standing wins
you have the right to argue the rules but you will not be participating in any future games
The “Narff Rule” - if your game gets abandoned or postponed outside game week you will receive a bye
FORMER WINNERS
2018/19 - Higdawg (13 pts)
SEASON 2 ROUND WINNERS
Game 1 - hercules & MrRooney (Joint) Game 2 - sydneyfc_FTT Game 3 - mental Game 4 - RedKat Game 5 - Arriba_SFC Game 6 - FTT123
I feel the old adage of a “quick game is a good game” for the sake of interest in this thread (especially given that we have an international break coming up for most leagues and therefore a break in club football). Despite that, obviously it’s silly to have 5 winners so I will post another group of games coming up mid-week.
I’m proposing a new rule:
In circumstances where there is no winners amongst the remaining contenders, a sudden death round is initiated. What this means is that only one person can pick a particular team i.e.: no double ups out of a choice of 12 teams (6 games). The winner will be determined based on firstly, a win. If more than 1 team chosen wins their game, we then go to goals scored as a tie breaker (i.e.: the team who scores more goals in their game takes the title), then if that is equal - goals conceded (i.e.: least goals conceded in a game). If that is still equal then we’ll go joint champions.
Summary:
1 - Title is taken by sole winner in tie breaker round.
2 - If more than one winner, goals scored by chosen team
3 - If goals scored the same, goal margin comes into contention i.e.: 2-1 beats 2-0.
4 - Goals conceded by selected team (least wins).
5 - If all equal, joint champions.
Are we all happy with this? (Any problems, please raise them) - obviously being the first round there are a few issues such as this to iron out so that Game 2 goes smoother with hopefully more people.
A decent number through! We now move on to the international break.
Note: Given that some of the games are on Friday morning, I am making the deadline 5am Friday just before the games start.

Hey guys, so obviously the forum migration wasn’t expected (but looks awesome and really looking forward to continuing the game on this platform). I will be uploading a round of games for next week to allow people time to migrate across to this new platform. These entries will close on Friday night (26th October) at 5pm.
Good luck everyone!
