Both Teams To Score - prediction game 16/17:OPEN FOR ENTRIES

[Ralfbergs]

I ran this game last 3 years ( and the format will be the same for this year too - viewtopic.php?f=22&t=116757

The idea is: each gameweek of EPL, participants of this game write here their 5 predictions of games where they think either both teams will score, or not (that is - just one or none of the involved teams will).
Example:
Chelsea v Hull BTTS:Yes
Liverpool v Stoke BTTS:No
Tottenham v Burnley Yes
Leicester v Everton No
Man Utd v Man City Yes (JOKER)

Scoring:
For each correct prediction a participant would receive 1 point. Additionaly to that, predicting those 5 games, each player will be able to use a ''JOKER'' - that means, writing ''JOKER'' next to one of the 5 predictions, if that exact game turns out to be predicted correctly, the participant gains 2 bonus points(1 for correct prediction+2 for it being a JOKER pick).
So in short:
1 point for correct prediction
Additional 2 points for correct Joker prediction

This will require no registration for the competition. You can just write your predictions before each gameweek here and that's it, even though it will be hard to win if you miss some deadlines. The only deadlines will be the time when the matches start (so if you miss 7 matches of the gameweek, you can still predict last 3 if it's before their kickoff).
Standings will be updated (at least for most of the weeks, I hope) weekly.

COMPETITION BEGINS: 1st gameweek of EPL: starting 13th AUGUST (you can predict starting from now, but only the games which are in that gameweek)
Just to mention - the actual odds for BTTS and things like that for the games, don't matter.


The season will be split in 6 equal parts + grande finale(similarly to the other prediction I run, which some of you are participants in):
!Each part or as I call them - mini season - will go for 6 gameweeks and the overall winner of those (person with the most points after 6 gameweeks each mini season) will receive ''a ticket'' to the grande finale, which will be last 2 gameweeks (GW37 and GW38) of the season. !
So at the end we will have 6 finalists (or less, if the same person wins more than one mini season) which will play out the final battle for the title (last two gameweeks will be played through private messages and playoff style (so that last gameweek we only have 2 players) instead of posting your picks on the forum, but more about that when it comes)
* if the same person wins all 6 mini seasons then he will be declared as the winner and 2 last gameweeks won't be played.
*For grande finale there will be additional questions not just the usual 5.

*Also these tie-breakers will be used to find out the winner -
Tie-breakers:
1) Who has predicted more JOKER picks correctly?
2) If 1) is the same amount, then - who has more correct predictions for BTTS:NO (just because in my opinion predicting that both teams won't score is harder than BTTS:Yes)
3) If 2) is still the same for both players, then it means that also BTTS:YES number will be automatically the same, in that case, and only in that one, there will be 2(or more) winners, which seems unlikely though.
