Rules
FORMAT
Players will select one Premier League team they believe will win for each round of games throughout the season. If the team they select wins, they earn three points. If the pick is incorrect, the player gets a stike. If a player hits the limit of strikes, they are eliminated. Multiple players can select the same team every week. Your picks do not affect other players.
DEADLINES
Picks must be submitted by 10 p.m. the night before the week of matches begin. If matches begin Saturday morning, picks must be submitted by 10 p.m. Friday evening. Due to some broadcasts not being finalized yet, deadlines will be posted as the season goes on and reminders will be messaged out to players.
Picks will be locked after the deadline. If no pick is submitted, the player will receive a strike.
SCORING
Correct pick = 3 points. Warked with "Win" on the Picks page.
Draw = 1 point. If the team selected draws, they will receive one point. Marked "Draw" on the Picks page.
Incorrect pick = 0 points. Incorrect picks add to a players strike count. Once a player makes has three strikes, they are eliminated from the contest. Strikes will be marked 'Loss' on the Picks page.
LIMITS
A player can only select each team TWICE during the season. If a player selects a club for a third time, they will be given a strike.
WINNING
Whoever has the most points at the end of the season/survival will be the winner.
In the event of a tie via points, the first tie breaker will be fewest strikes, followed by most weeks survived. If the players are still tied, the combined record of the teams they have not selected will be used to determine the winner.
