I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and now I can finally do it! Ever since I founded the website in December 2008 I wanted it to become strong enough to support its running costs. Now, thanks to you, it has reached that point, the income from the ads that you see on the website is enough to pay for the hosting bills and domain name fees. I am happy to announce that there will be a small surplus this year and that will be given back to you dear friends, I will buy and give you a copy of Football Manager 2011!
Since I can’t randomly pick a reader to receive the prize I thought about organizing a contest and since the World Cup is going to start in around the month it will be the perfect occasion. Let me explain how the contest will work:
When the World Cup will finally begin I will make a post every day with the matches that will be played that day. Each one of you can then post their match predictions in the comments. Those should be posted before the beginning of each game, obviously. Here’s an example:
England vs USA 1 (2-1), where 1 means that England will win and 2-1 the exact score. If you get the right result you will be given one point. If you’re good enough to predict the exact score you will be given 5 points. Then we’ll keep track of all the points and at the end of the World Cup the reader who has the most points will win the prize. I will take part in the contest too, I wouldn’t want to miss all the fun, but if I will have the most points at the end of it (I doubt it though) then the second placed will get the prize.
That’s how I thought to organize the thing but the reason I’m posting this now is because I want you to give me feedback and suggestions about the rules, I’m sure they are not perfect and I hope we can make them better before the actual start of the contest.
