---------------------------------------------
Score points at the end of the season and at the half-way point.
End of season
25 points per team if any selected team of yours is champion, each top team has a 25-point score ...
15 points if a team promoted, but not as champions, or having a place in Champions League (incl. qualifying rounds) for the Premier and European leagues
10 point if a team is in the play-offs but not finally promoted (or in the Europa League competition, including qualifying rounds, for Premier and European leagues)
but minus -6 - your chosen team is in the lower half of the table!
minus -12 - your team is relegated!!
Progress points at the Half-way mark
(in every league in the right moment in that league, meaning when a majority of teams reach the exact half-way point, so a lot of supervision work from me!)
10 points per team if momentarily champions
7 if in a direct promotion position but not currently as champions (or places in Champions League for the Premier and European leagues)
4 if a team is in any play-off position (or at the moment is in the positions for the Europa League competition, including qualifying rounds, for the Premier and European leagues)
minus -3 - your chosen team is currently in the lower half of the table!
minus -6 - your chosen team is currently in direct relegation positions (incl. relegation play-off position) !!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two simple rules -
1.. you can’t name more than SEVEN teams the same as anyone else on your forum ! So first to post their selection holds rights on that selection - no-one else can copy it afterwards !! So get in quick…
2.. We respect the tables offered by each official league, including any possible points deductions and any other punishments. Any team not completing (very unlikely !) the league season, for whatever reason, is considered void..
Guesses and entries accepted until Thursday 4th August, which is the day before kick-off in any of these leagues!!
Course, gotta wait to May 2017 to find out the final winners! But I’ll be posting progress reports on the leagues, with little anecdotes here and there to keep these threads alive ...

It's on 8 forums in all, and a dozen back in first afternoon alone.
But plenty and plenty of time ...

Rovers fans now number 4, and well over three dozen in total.
so you don't accidently copy others, here is the progress list:

Remember, you can't choose more than 7 the same as anyone else!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a week or so, I'll get up that old favourite - the "Premier League Positions Game" which reveerts to being an individual player event as well as a forum entry. We're expecting 150-200 entries on this, according to our best estimates!
