3. GET INTO IT

1 SEP:
OK, before we get to the results, some house-keeping.

1) There is no play next week as it is an International week on the calendar. I will  be hitting you all up for tips in two weeks time.

2) There may be instances in the season where two layers tip all the same results across the 7 games... we have already come close to this with only 1 different tip last week. If this happens, there will be no changing of tips and you will end up playing a draw.
Deadline timing will make it hard to get changes done, as well as the management of chasing players to alter tips. Further players may not want to budge from selections. All this means original tips will stand and it will be 'play on' .

3) If you haven't read the 'Rules' page yet, there is provision for the knockout finals games at seasons end to be settled by 'penalties'. If we have a situation like in 2 where scores are tied and 'penalty' games are also tipped the same, I will issue more games to tip to break a deadlock. (This will be added to Rules page today).

4) There will be no play next week, but there will be a special blog post coming around the weekend all the same - you will get twitter advice of this later in the week.


OK - results!

OK team, here are your next weeks match-ups...

Highlights:
- 1st v 7th - the Goss /Cuzzupe derby.
- Henry and MichaelN (also with MattG) have 2 straight wins. Amos and MattB look to stop that run.
- Also Amul and Dem_P both need to find a first point, can they get past 17th placed Ethan and 13th placed Sarge?

And the games to be tipped are...

As mentioned before, less randomness, more cherry-picking!
Let me know if there are any lop-sided ones here...


Once again, a simple DM of the game number and your H, D or A tip.
Too easy.

Have at it!
