Where Will They Finish for Season 2019-2020

Due to overwhelming demand (again) the competition will be run for next season.
The rules are the same as previous seasons and are listed below. Please read them before posting your entry (especially rule 5). I did previously post that the start date for entries would be 1st July but I decided to bring it forward a week.

Good luck to all.

Rules are simple:

1. The aim of the competition is to predict where all the teams in League One will be placed after the final league game at the end of the season.

2. 3 points will be awarded for predicting the exact place and 1 point is awarded for being one position out (above or below).

3. Entries must be posted before the first game of the season has kicked off.

4. Final rankings in the case of entries scoring the same number of points will ranked as following;

  • The total score (number of points);
  • The total number of exact places predicted;
  • Then by the date/time of entering your predictions (i.e. if your prediction is in first you will be put in front of someone enters after you). Therefore, the earlier the entry the higher in the table the player will be if there are multiple players with same number of points.
5. By any chance a team does not start or complete the season then a decision will be posted on how predictions for that team will be calculated and will be notified in due course. Note this rule has been added due to the uncertainty around Bury and Bolton.

5. The list of teams is in this thread below! Just copy, re-order (in to your predictions) and then post into this thread. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE TEAM NAMES TO NICKNAMES OR ANOTHER FORMAT, INCLUDING PUTTING NUMBERS IN FRONT. Entries will be directly copied onto a spreadsheet. Therefore, if you change a team name, miss-spell one or make a double entry you may lose points. If you notice you have made a mistake please notify me as soon as possible so I can correct the mistake. If you do not notify me then I cannot be held responsible for you not scoring the correct points.

I will endeavour to the best of my abilities and time to post the current league standings on a weekly basis, but it is the final league positions that count after the final league games.

The team list is as follows:
Accrington
Wimbledon
Blackpool
Bolton
Bristol Rovers
Burton Albion
Bury
Coventry
Doncaster
Fleetwood
Gillingham
Ipswich
Lincoln City
MK Dons
Oxford
Peterborough
Portsmouth
Rochdale
Rotherham
Shrewsbury
Southend
Sunderland
Tranmere
Wycombe

Don't need to wait for full squads/managers to be confirmed nor points deductions declared before getting it wrong.

Sorry. Its not "his' rules, just the rules, if you have the time to re-type every entry then please feel free to correct every entry.

That was not a criticism of you!
Simply me trying to help him not have his entry rejected.
And "the rules" are your rules. So me saying "his rules" is correct English, yes?

Do the bookies take bets on predicting all finishing places correctly? i imagine the odds would be staggering .

Bookies take bets on anything from what I've seen. Don't do it myself but if you're tempted I'm sure you'll get a good price. Whether it'll pay off is another matter
