The reason for this is to fill the gap left by Keefa's winter break from the predictions league. He claims it necessary because of "bad weather causing problems with the fixtures", but I suspect he's just bunking off to watch the cricket.
Anyway, because of the possibility bad weather, I've decided to try to stick to mostly top flight games; those which are least likely to be postponed. There will be 6 fixtures per week, comprising of 2 games from 3 different leagues/cups.
So, as there was no one new who signed up on top of those in the Predictions League, that left me with 15 people. Not ideal, but I've decided to go with 4 groups to start with - 3 of 4 and 1 of 3. With this in mind I decided to seed the draw based on league position and split everyone into 4 pots:
Pot 1
keefa
juvehero
poseidoN
big_evil
Pot 2
kin_lin
rodderas
deanashtonsfoot
geoff
Pot 3
JP
Ben O'Bagels
TomTwice
Sesquipedalianist
Pot 4
Deus
7Bestie7
Fids
Using a random number generator, the draw placed everyone in the following groups:
Group A
big_evil
geoff
Ben O'Bagels
Fids
Group B
juvehero
kin_lin
JP
7Bestie7
Group C
poseidoN
deanashtonsfoot
TomTwice
Deus
Group D
keefa
rodderas
sesquipedalianist
So everyone will play each once in the group stage. Obviously though, those in Group D will only predict in 2 of the 3 weeks during the group stage.
The top 2 in each group will go through the 1/4 finals, then semis and the final.
The first round of the fixtures will be over the weekend of the 18th/19th December. The final will be over the weekend of the 22nd/23rd January.
Same rules for points scoring as the predictions league. 3 points for a correct scoreline, 1 point for a correct result.
Anyway, good luck everyone and I'll be posting the first week's fixtures in the next day or two to get things moving.
Fixtures to predict for the first week will take place on both the 18th and 19th December:
Week 1 - 18th/19th December
England (Premier League) - Sunderland vs Bolton England (Premier League) - Chelsea vs Man Utd Italy (Serie A) - Cesena vs Cagliari Italy (Serie A) - Chievo vs Juventus Spain (La Liga) - Real Sociedad vs Valencia Spain (La Liga) - Levante vs Athletico Bilbao
The ties for the first week are as follows:
Group A
big_evil vs fids
geoff vs Ben O'Bagels
Group B
juvehero vs 7Bestie7
kin_lin vs JP
Group C
poseidoN vs Deus

Sorry guys, as most of us were locked out for most of the week until today and at least one of the matches was postponed I'm going to have to scrap this week.
I'll sort something out tomorrow - either I'll just shift the competition back one week or I'll get some midweek fixtures up.
Ok, let's try again. Because most of us couldn't get onto the forum last week I've shifted the competition back one week.
Week one's fixtures will now all be played on 26th December. Let's just hope the snow doesn't cause havoc as I've had to dip into the Championship to make up the 6 fixtures for this week. Even if there is snow, there will at least be 2 fixtures that I'm fairly sure won't be called off because of it.
Week 1 - 26th December
England (Premier League) - Everton vs Birmingham England (Premier League) - Wolves vs Wigan Australia (A League) - Central Coast Mariners vs Adelaide Utd Australia (A League) - Melbourne Victory vs Newcastle Jets England (Championship) - Portsmouth vs Millwall England (Championship) - Crystal Palace vs Norwich
