Tried to get our old mate Dundalk to come back for this but it's not happening.


So here we go Ladies and Gents.  It's Last Man Standing 2012/2013. 

Before we get started I'd like to get a feel for if we should go by the scoring system from last season (more points for teams picked lower in the table) or If we should go back to the old system of 1 point per correct prediction. 


Thoughts please.

This year's prize will be a choice of any Liverpool (Current to be bought by me from the Offal) kit, or an equal contribution to the Hillsborough Justice Fund.

I won't celebrate Rafa going........ but I will be over the moon if Dalglish comes in. League within 2 years if he gets the job, AND YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT.

Whoever picks the kit is going to feel like a right d!ck. Im not too familar with the rules ETC but im guessing it cant start from the first game of the season as further down the bottom you have Tottenham just because alphateically thats where there put

Awesome. Yank, you should go with the final setup Dundalk had. As a prize though, make sure you and your missus are fully 100% to carry it on for years to come.

Good thoughts mate. but what I'll do (thinking of going with the 5,4,3,2,1 system from last year.) I'd use the end of season table and go by that.  ..ie 5 pts for newly promoted clubs.  4 for 17-15. 3 for 14-10. etc..

thanks Khar mate.

Yea GY thanks for picking this up, but it's really up to you about the rules.  You can do the point system like DD did, but realize I think that's why he struggled to keep up, he just couldn't keep track of everything when he had to think about where the teams were before the matches were played and adjusted the table.  It's easy to just look and see who was right and add 1 point, compared to looking who was right then figuring out how many points they got for being right.  If you're up for the work then we obviously appreciate it, but if you wanna go back to the 1 point system then nobody can blame you.
