This is a Last Man Standing competition for Kildalkey Village Inn patrons.
Entry is a one off payment of €5, winner takes all. You can enter as often as you like but each entry will be treated individually.
Each week each player picks a Premier League team that they believe will avoid defeat. If that happens they play on by picking a team that they have not already chosen. The winner will be the last person whose picks have all avoided defeat – allowing that all fixtures in a Matchweek need to be completed.
All entries should be submitted via the whatsapp group (other options are via the dedicated form here or to Steve/Emma at the Bar) by Friday 7pm – or 6pm on the Tuesday of midweek games. You can change your pick as often as you like but the final selection must be made before the deadline. If a player misses a week s/he will be assigned the lowest ranking team still available to them.
If all remaining players all exit in any game week those players get to play on. If, however, there were just two remaining players they get the option to split the pot. If either player decides to play on the game continues with just the two remaining.
The game will be forced to take a break during weekends when the Premier League is affected by International fixtures, FA Cup rounds or when a full list of 10 fixtures isn’t scheduled. However, if less than 10 fixtures do take place our game will continue if every player has already picked the teams from the missing fixture(s).
Same applies to a full set of scheduled midweek games.
If your team’s game is postponed after the deadline has passed you automatically proceed to the next round.
If your team’s game is abandoned up to 30 minutes in you will progress. However, if it is abandoned any time after 30 minutes in the score at the point of abandonment will be considered final.
The exception to these is that the competition cannot be won via a postponed or abandoned match.
Good luck everyone.
