Points System

Each match day, every tipster will have 3 picks (listed from the markets below) on any European, Worldwide or international match with the exception of UK leagues (Republic of Ireland allowed) Each tipster must research the odds from the bookmaker that sponsors the competition (betfair) www.betfair.com. At the end of each match day, each tipster will have obtained a total tally of points. The number of points they will obtain would depend on how successful their selections are, and what odds they were at.

For this competition, selections at odds of less than 1.50 will not be acceptable.

For winning selections at odds 1.50 - 1.99 then 1 point would be obtained

For winning selections at odds 2.0 - 2.74 then 2 points would be obtained

For winning selections at odds of 2.75 or greater than 3 points would be obtained

Home advantage

A new rule will be brought into the group stages of Euro & WW competition (VI) where tipsters have home advantage. In the group stage ,everyone will play each other twice - at home and away. If you are at home then you will start with an automatic 1 point head start against your opponent.

So each match day, the maximum number of points capable of being obtained would be 10 if you were at home, and 9 if you were away. The one exception to this rule is in extreme circumstances. If both tipsters in a match produced 3 winning 3 point selections, then the match wouldn’t end 10-9, but would end 10-10. This rule guarantees than anyone who does score the maximum points in a match, would definitely never lose. However it is very unlikely that this rule would ever come into effect, although you never know!

Basically considering home advantage whoever gains the most points in a match out of the two tipsters would win the tie. If the scores end level, then the tie ends a draw.

For group stage - 3 points will be awarded for a win and 1 for a draw. 0 for a loss

For the preliminary qualifying round (1 leg) whoever outscores the other will progress - if scores are level then a tie break used

For the Final Qualifying round, and later stage knockout rounds, then there will be an aggregate of over 2 legs which will determine who will progress. If scores are still tied after the 2 legs, then a tie break will be used

The markets available to chose from will once again be the same. As before, everyone must obtain prices from the bookmaker that sponsors the competition. (betfair)

Having betfair as a sponsor enables us to offer a much wider arrange of markets. Basically you may chose from any market they offer as long as it isn't

Asian Handicap

Also Lays are NOT to be used in this competition. That might come in the future but not this one.

There must be at least £10 available to back @ the odds you chose (at the time of posting)

Basically, if betfair offer the market then you are able to chose it. The only one we cant use for this competition is Asian Handicap really.
