Sounds good. Think swap the winning margin and draw points though. 3 for a draw, 5 for the margin. Just my opinion.

Aye that's probably better.

So one point for getting the result right, 3 points if you predict a draw and 5 points for getting the winning margin exactly right.

How about adding bonus points if you predict a draw and get the total points scored correct?
Something like the following:

Correct Result (Home or Away) - 1 point
Correct Result (Draw) - 3 points
Correct Result (Home or Away) and Correct Winning Margin - 5 points
Correct Result (Draw)) and Correct Number of Total Points Scored - 5 points.

Good idea lockjaw, but I think you need to clarify for posters like nobull that your joking about the trip to Ukraine.

We'll keep it simple and go with the system you suggested. I must try & knock together a tracker on Excel today if I get the time.

Whatever names make predictions before 6pm Friday will get added.

I'll also contact my good friend Oleg in Donetsk to ensure he has everything in place for the winner :-)
