Prediction Game - Can you Run a Marathon?

Post by Selby White »

Each Fixture Round in both the Premier League and Championship represents one mile (so it runs for 26 rounds).
Entries by Thurs 28th please.

You will select one team in each round.
Each Team is allocated a time for a win - draw - lose

Your times all 26 of them will be added together to get your finishing time.
Fastest time wins.

Clear as mud.
Basically just select one team each round (mile).
I will publish fixtures each round as we go.

Teams and Times (Win - Draw - Lose)
Man City - 4min 44sec - 5min 28sec - 6min 12sec

Miss a round - 6min 13sec
Miss 4 miles and you are out the game


Eg. You select Huddersfield first mile and they draw (5min 16sec)
2nd mile you choose Leeds and they win (4min 22sec)
3rd mile its Forest and they lose (5min 30sec)

Your time after 3 mile would be those times added together = 15min 8 sec
And so on until 26 mile is complete.
