The rules are incredibly simple:
Each week we will list 20 fixtures from the English Football leagues. We will select games from the Premiership, domestic cup competitions, each of the first, second and third divisions, and to really test you we will randomly drop in the odd Scottish and Conference games.
The only thing we can guarantee is that because we are Forest fans, if Forest are playing they will always be one of the selected matches. All the other matches will be picked using the tried and tested 'stick a pin in the fixture list to see who we get' method.
The competition will take the form of a league. Up to three points are awarded for each prediction. Points are gained as follows.
3 points for predicting correct score and correct result.
1 point for correct score, wrong result.
1 point for correct result, wrong score.
0 points for getting it completely wrong.
Here are a few examples of how the predictions will be scored, assuming the match is West Ham V Newcastle

Finally, entries will not be accepted after 12:00 midday (GMT) on the day of the matches.
The league will be updated each week, and with a possible 60 points up for grabs each week things can change rapidly within the league so keep your eye on it.
You can join in any time you like, but the sooner you do the more points you can accrue.
