Fishy Pontoon Buster Game

A fantastic 60 entries for this game. The Mariners Trust promoted this via their Facebook page on this occasion, so I will donate 20% of this (£120) to them. This leaves a prize pot of £480.

On this occasion the first prize will be £300. There will also be the other 3 usual £50 prizes to the first team(s) to score nil for 3 successive weeks, the team(s) with the lowest score when the first prize is won, and the team to sack their manager first during the course of the game.

This will leave me with £30 which I will use as a prize to be won from Week 4 which will give all teams a chance to win, even if it seems they have no chance of winning the first prize. I will announce the exact details of this prize before week 4 games.

A quick reminder of the rules. Only weekend games count (Friday- Monday). If your team plays twice in this period, only the first game counts. In the case of your team not playing for any reason, then you score a default 2 goals. You will also score a default 2 goals if a game is abandoned, unless your team have already scored more than 2, in which case the score at abandonment will count.

The winner will be the first team to score EXACTLY 21 goals. Go over this and you are bust and out of the game.

Good luck to all.

Quoted from Grantham_Mariner

No one had Cambridge then.

No, Cambridge weren't picked. That would have been a record for the prize to go if they had.

On this point, I do try to keep abreast of all the footy news, but I might miss it that a manager has been fired/left a club so if it was posted on here if I haven't picked up on it within a few hours that would help.

Cheltenham are the surprise leaders of the early table, having hit 5 today.

Check your team and let me know any queries.

or Grimsby !

How many managers have to get the sack before we get a winner ?

At the 3rd time of asking we have a winner in the sack race. Guiseley have sacked Paul Cox, so the £50 prize goes to Stuart Brace Was King.

Looking like there will be several default 2 goals on Saturday as a few games are already off and no doubt there will be many more to follow.

Thankfully it's early in the game so no one will be able to win by a default score yet.

Plenty of default 2 goals this week with so many games falling foul of the weather. Latest table below, check your team and let me know any queries.
