HOW TO PLAY
A brief description of the rules follow:

Predictions are sent individually for each Reading game.
Each player is only allowed one entry per game
All entries to be submitted using the on-line form only
Changes can not be made once a prediction has been entered - so fully check your entry form before submission!
You must enter each match using the exact name and email address used for previous entries
The number of scorers listed MUST match the number of goals you have predicted or all your scorers listed will be ignored!
Points will be awarded as follows:
- EITHER:
- 6 Points: For the exact result and score. (you predict 3-1 to Reading and Reading win that game 3-1) OR
- 2 Points: For the correct result but wrong score (you predict a 1-1 draw and Reading draw 0-0) OR
- 1 Point: For correctly predicting how many goals Reading would score (you predict 2-0 to Reading and Reading lose 2-3) OR
- 0 Points: For the wrong result and wrong number of goals scored by Reading. (you predict 1-0 to Reading and Reading draw 0-0)
ie. You get either 6,2,1 or 0 points for your prediction PLUS:
- AN ADDITIONAL 1 POINT FOR EACH CORRECT READING SCORER WILL BE AWARDED
The table will be arranged in decending order of prediction averages.
Averages will be calculated by taking the number of games the player has predicted for and taking the players total score.
Where two players averages are the same the number of games predicted will be taken into consideration. The player having predicted the most games will have the advantage!
To rank in the table you must have predicted for AT LEAST 10 GAMES
If you have not yet predicted for at least 10 games you will still be listed, but not on the ranking players table.
At the end of the season there will be three winners:
- The best average points player: the person who has the highest average after Reading's final game of the season - according to the published table.
- The highest points player: the person who has the highest total points after Reading's final game of the season - according to the published table.
- A random winner: a random player will be chosen from the full list of players who have predicted a minmum of ten games.

Good Luck!
