Sports Prediction Competition 2021
Following the debacle of the Covid cancelled 2020 version, I am now launching the 2021 version, which is the 24th running of the competition
How does the competition work
- each player predicts the outcome of 25 sporting events due to take place throughout 2021
- points are earned for correct predictions
- bonus points can also earned for unusual correct predictions
- entry costs £10 and must be received by midnight on Friday 2nd April
- the player with the most points at the end of 2021 wins the competition and takes the top prize
- there are also prizes for closest to the tiebreak and winner of the cup competition
- all entry fees are distributed as prizes during the year
- there have been two previous winners from FISO in 2015 and 2017
- FISO moderator, Spencer4, was amongst the entrant list in 2019
Prize pool totalled £460 in 2019 with the winner collecting £385.
Regular updates will be posted on this thread throughout the year.
Participants are advised to study this message from FISO admin regarding private prize leagues:

If interested in playing

"The Boat Race" for crissakes,
Big boys in wellies and shorts
With paddles
In a Splashing competition
How is a person not accustomed to studying the peculiar behaviour of people suffering from lack of D vitamins and their reactions to being surrounded by water meant to predict the outcome of that?
PS must see if a tenner to spare

As long as you remember that Northern Universities use wellies for shooting or fishing, not rowing around ponds ...forestfan wrote: ↑26 Mar 2021, 19:15Well, it’s a 50-50 chance, whoever you pick... so more likely to pick a winner than in most of the others!Mick MacPaddywack wrote: ↑26 Mar 2021, 08:28 "The Boat Race" for crissakes,
