 Some small changes from last year: £1000 minimum Prize Pot. 1st entry is FREE. Any teams after this are £5 (plus a 50p service fee for paypal). £3 goes into the pot £2 goes to your nominated club. The Prize won't kick above 1,000 until there is over 334 paid for teams. You can't see any teams until the 1st August 2015 (Thanks ccu for this suggestion). Prices will change at Midnight every day up to the start of the season. Same simple rules: 60% of the Prize pot to the winner, 30% to 2nd and 10% to 3rd.
£50 is paid if you get 15 League points on a Saturday. £50m to spend on 5 clubs (1 from each League). 3 points for a League win, 1 point for a draw. 5 points for a FA Cup win (English & Scottish).
3 points for a League Cup win (English & Scottish).
5 points for a JPT win.
Good Luck.

See this:
"£50 is paid if you get 15 League points on a Saturday"
Does it have to be a Saturday or is it over the weekend/matchday?

Only on a Saturday. Some fans just play teams that play mostly Saturdays and go mostly for the Lucky 15. Anyone playing in Europe is a no go this way so Celtic should be good for a few Saturdays next year  |

Great to see this back. I'll enter 3 or 4 combinations I think but life cufcmike think I wait till later on in the transfer window.
Birmingham at 8Million looks decent. Out of interest, do you yourself just decide on the prices of the teams?

I base the club prices around bookies odds (currently they are skybets) I just allocate the cost as no one else does this. I will use most of the major bookies throughout the summer to get fair comparisons. The prices need to change as as teams sway in favouritism, for example we wouldn't last long at £13m if we taken over by a billionaire.

You know it all just goes off Betfair and SportingIndex don't you Reiver, next to no opinion in the prices.

I came 13th last season so looking forward to next season. 40 odds points off the leader. Will the club be offering anything for the CUFC mini league officialcufc ? A signed top or season ticket would go a long way. |

Who the **** wants a season ticket to watch that shite? Is it that bad? I know my family have refused season tickets this year they have kids who get bored at the game. You're a regular over years, yes? |

Been a regular since '89. I don't normally mind watching shite to be honest. As long as I come out of that ground having watched a win, I couldn't care less. But I want to know the 'owners' are not having my trousers down when I pay for my ticket.

Latest Price list: Can't believe that Barnet are £7m less than Bristol Rovers. Promoted teams always tend to do well.  |

What's the crack Reiver? £5 a go, pick a team from each league, budget of £50m?

Pretty much pal, your 1st entry is free. Every extra team you add is £5 (from this £5, £2 goes to the club/charity (your choice) and £3 is added to the prize pot)
3 points for a win 1 point for a draw. Bonus points for cup wins.
Simple game as you can't change your 5 clubs and their locked in for the season.

Looks like no one fancies Newcastle in the Premier League, they have really dropped in price the last week or so. The appointment of Steve McClaren hasn't seemed to instilled any confidence, Newcastle are now just £6m! One positive mover this week seems to be Bury who are now £8m (they signed Pope etc this week) and seem a good outside gem. Currently 45 fans have lodged their teams which is quite a good number for mid June (we had under 200 total last year). Click here for the latest Sweepstake Price List |

Will Warburton be given enough dough at Rangers to justify their £20m price tag?

Sorry to be a bit thick; I've registered and although it quotes "see rules tab above for more details", I can't spot it. I was looking to confirm the following:
1) The closing date for entries - is it midnight on July 31st?
2) Can we change our selections any time prior to the deadline or are they set in stone?
3) If a club value changes and takes any of our entries over the £50m limit, does that require a change in the entry? (I would assume not) |

(I would assume not) Here you go lbtufty: Sweepstake Rules any other questions just fire away. 1) The 1st games are the Scottish League Cup and Scottish Premiership on the 1st Aug. There is no closing date, however if you enter after this date you will not get any retrospective league or cup points that your chosen club have gained. Therefore you will always start on zero. 2) You can not change your selection at all during the season. Once you have lodged them then they are set in stone. 3) Once you have lodged your 5 clubs it doesn't matter if the price of your clubs goes up or down they are already lodged. Lots of fans have lodged teams early just in case they can't buy their 5 combination if the price changes on their clubs. Some leave it to the last minute to lodge to get best idea of squads etc. |
