Carabao Cup Competition rules
New
Welcome to the Caraboa Cup Predictions 2024/2025 competition.
This is the first edition and hopefully there is plenty of interest.
It is run on the same basis as the Premier League Predictions competition with the same rules as listed below.
The number of participants is unlimited and participants can join at any time during the competition. A tag line will be given to the winner of the competition as kindly agreed by @Damien
The competition starts from the Second Round through to the Final.
Rules are listed below.
All predictions for a particular game must be in before the game is scheduled to kick off, however late entries will be accepted but not for games already started.
You cannot make any changes after you have submitted your entry for that week of games after the first match of that week has kicked off, even if the game you want to change hasn't started. Instead, please make a new post omitting predictions for the games already started.
Please try to submit your entries as early as possible. Results and standings will be published as soon as possible after the last game of the Round has finished. (Hopefully by the following day at the latest).
FGS (First Goal Scorer) predictions are allowed for every match and will be worth three points.
Scoring:
3 points for FGS (First Goal Scorer) of every game in the week.
3 points for Correct Score. eg Prediction 2-1 (Result 2-1)
1 point for Correct Result. eg Prediction 2-2 (Result 1-1)
There will be Double Points Matches in each round round of matches (one of which will be selected by a previous week's highest scorer), ie: Correct Result = 2pts, Correct Score = 6pts, First Goal Scorer = 6pts.
The highest scorer of any week gains an extra 3pts and gets to select the Double Points Match of their choice for the next round of matches. Should there be more than one participant with the most points in any week, the participant posting their predictions the earliest will be deemed to be the winner.
For Round 2 there will be four Double Points Matches
Copy and paste the given fixture list in the post below and add your predictions.
Any questions - please do not hesitate to DM me.
Any scoring irregularities, DM me and I'll correct them.
If, for any reason, a match is postponed, you will still be able to predict it whenever it is played at a later date. All 380 matches can be predicted.
FAQ:
They will also be posted within the thread as the thread and season progresses.
Good luck to all!

FAQ:
- If you forecast a 0-0 draw correctly - you gain 3 points. No extra points for putting ‘no goalscorer’. However you can nominate a FGS as a backup which if the result is not 0-0 then maybe your FGS can redeem the points.
- If you wish to change a prediction, please make a new post. Do not amend a post that includes a match that has already kicked-off otherwise you will lose any points gained prior to your amendment. A new post will overwrite a previous post.
- Please post your predictions before the scheduled kick-off time. If the scheduled kick-off time is 3pm - then if your post is timed at 3.01pm you are too late. Rules are strictly adhered to, for fairness to all.
