Entry
£10 entry fee must be paid prior to the start of the season.
Playing the Game
Each 'Manager' starts the game with 15 lives.
Every Game Week, all managers must select a team to win their game, from the corresponding fixtures.
Fixtures used will be for the English Premier League and taken from the BBC website. There is minimum of 7 games required for the Game Week to proceed.
If the team selected wins their game, the Manager's lives stay intact.
If they draw the game, 1 life is lost.
If they lose the game, 2 lives are lost.
However, if one of the two special cards are played there is potential for a different outcome than the above. See below for details.
Selection for each game week must be made by Private WhatsApp message to Robbie. This must be done ahead of the deadline set for each Game Week.
If no selection is received, the first away team on the Fortunate Football fixture list will become that managers selection.
If the first away team has already been used twice, it will move to the second away team and so on.
Wild-Card
Each manager has a single Wild-Card that can be used at any point during the season.
When the Wild-Card is played alongside the managers selection, it allows their chosen team to draw and the manager will not lose a life.
A loss will still cost the manager 2 lives.
The Wild-Card can only be played once, regardless of the result.
Draw-Card
Each manager has a single Draw- Card that can be used at any point during the season.
When the Draw- Card is played alongside the managers selection, they are predicting the outcome of the game will be a draw. Depending on the result the following will happen.
Draw = 1 life is gained.
Win or Lose = 1 life is lost.
The Draw- Card can only be played once, regardless of the result.
IMPORTANT:
Even when playing your Draw-Card and predicting a draw, you must select one team from the fixture. The team chosen will count as one of your two allowed picks for that team.
The Winner
The winner will be the Manager with the most lives left at the end of the season or final Game Week.
(Please note that managers can finish on -1 life due to picking a losing team while only having 1 life left)
In the event of a tie, positions will be decided on least number of games lost.
If still tied, the manager with the lowest RTS wins.
If still tied, the prize money will be split equally between the winning managers.
