Sports Prediction Competition 2021

Post by sportsmeister »

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:
http://www.fiso.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=116472

If interested in playing
- PM me with email address so I can send you the competition details and entry form on Excel

I will only accept entries by email

Let me know if you have any questions

"The Boat Race" for crissakes, :lol:
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?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

PS must see if a tenner to spare :)

Well, it’s a 50-50 chance, whoever you pick... so more likely to pick a winner than in most of the others!

As long as you remember that Northern Universities use wellies for shooting or fishing, not rowing around ponds ...
so it has to be a Southern University then ... Bristol maybe?
