Sports Prediction Competition 2022

[sportsmeister]

I am now launching the 2022 version, which is the 25th running of the competition

How does the competition work
- each player predicts the outcome of 30 sporting events due to take place throughout 2022
- 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 4th February
- the player with the most points at the end of 2022 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 2021
Prize pool totalled £530 in 2021.
Regular updates will be posted on this thread throughout the year.
