I decided to focus on the most popular sport league in the world since this is the most accessible league available to us in the States. I also decided on the easiest game between the two since most of you have no clue on what the difference is between Liverpool and Dynamo Kiev. We are half way in the season but I think this will be a nice start. The game is called "I Know the Score!"

The name is AcuraWorld, the code to get in is 291a-RWPU

The game is simple. You are presented with all the game for that week. Just guess what the score will be. Just remember that the sport allows for ties, just like the NFL.

One special rule to pay attention to: Play Your Chips
IKTS comes with two chips which affect the scoring for that particular fixture. The Banker is usually placed on the prediction that you are most confident about and will double or treble (Banker Multiplier) your score for that match. The Insurance chip is usually placed on the prediction that you are most uncertain about and should your prediction be wrong, limits your score to 0 rather than -10.

How the point system works: http://iknowthescore.premierleague.com/ikts/help2.html

THE SCORING SYSTEM

Wrong outcome: -10
Example: You predict Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2

Correct outcome but wrong goal difference +10
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 4 - Chelsea 2

Correct outcome and correct goal difference +15
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 3 - Chelsea 2

The draw predicted correctly but incorrect result +20
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 2 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 1

Correct result +30
Example: You predict Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2

Correct Banker placement X2 or X3
If you place the Banker Chip on any correct outcome your points score for that fixture is multiplied. If a fixture contains a team that finished within the top 4 league places in the previous Gameweek the multiplier will be X2 otherwise it will be X3.

Correct Insurance placement 0
Example: If you placed your Insurance chip on a fixture whose outcome you predicted incorrectly then the worst you can score is 0
Banker Bonus

If you place your Banker correctly your Banker Bonus for the following week is credited with +5 points up to a maximum of +20. If you place your Banker incorrectly, your Banker Bonus is reset to zero for the following week.

On correct outcome the Banker Bonus works as follows:
Wk0 0
Wk1 +5
Wk2 +10
Wk3 +15
Wk4 +20 (max)
Wk5 +20 (max)

In order to get everyone set up, the game will begin on week 22, or starting January 12th 2008.

I hope some of you will join so I don't play by myself.

I like how you always have to point out the popularity of soccer

I'd play, but I don't want to be that guy that signs up and forgets about it in two weeks. Good luck

I signed up, but it haven't joined our league because it's updating scoreboards or some shit and told me to come back later... You're going down JC.

Don't even dream about it. No Trezeguet to save (or doom) you into first place. You better do some research for this one, you might pick Derby to beat Man U or something.

I'm familiar with the bigger names... the smaller ones not so much. I'll do my research though. Even knowing the teams in fantasy football I still did research every week.

I picked my prediction already, but after this weekend I might have to tweak things a bit.

i've signed up. but i'm in the same boat as kev

[dkrift]

Do you guys want to push this one more week? To give time to more people to sign up? Looks like the scoring will start on Tuesday.

[djbme83]

makes no difference to me

[dkrift]

I have changed the start date of our league to Game Week 22, so the first games will be on January 12th to give a chance for people to join in. Not sure if anyone else will though.

[dkrift]

So far I am still the only one in our mini-league. Where is everyone?

[djbme83]

[dkrift]

That's because you keep checking when games just ended. Try tomorrow, there is no game going on.

[dkrift]

Actually check right NOW!
