Manchester Rules

Apologies for the lack of updates this weekend gents, but I've been zipping about the country without access to my laptop.

Quite a day yesterday for the Manc teams, making me look slightly silly by selecting Spurs.  Thankfully not as silly as Nigel who tipped up 13/2 Arsenal who then drifted to 8/1 before being royally spanked at Old Trafford.

Ashley is currently riding high at the top of the table, maintaining his good form from the 2nd half of last season - while 2010/11 victor Will Brookes is languishing down the bottom with a 0/3 record so far.

Name	Total
Ashley Foulkes	£4.20
Dan Grant	£3.20
Mike Butlin	£2.67
Jon Raab	£1.52
David Evans	£1.47
Chris Walker	£1.40
Simon Woolf	£0.50
Phil Hamilton	£0.40
Dave Orrock	-£0.60
Ben Brookes	-£0.60
Terry Reeve	-£1.09
Jamie Reeve	-£1.15
Nigel Grant	-£1.33
Pete Stagles	-£1.67
Ryan Blackwell	-£1.78
Will Brookes	-£3.00
Ian Dell	-£3.00

Here's the link for next week where you'll have the choice of Internationals or delving into the lower leagues:

Footy Naps Selection Form - Week 4

Show Me The Money

So here is what we are all playing for.  A minor increase on last year with one extra player in the mix.  Due to Albie eating my HSBC security code generator I've not managed to verify the total prizes yet, so if you haven't sent it over you are in a race against the bank and the postman!

The selections sheet will be updated within the next couple of hours and I have included the link for Week 3 below already.  Due to popular demand (well, 2 people) there is now a new field added to the form allowing you to explain your justification for picking your nap of the week.

Best of luck this afternoon.

Championship	Prize	1st Half	Prize	2nd Half	Prize
1st Place	£130	1st Place	£60	1st Place	£60
2nd Place	£75	2nd Place	£25	2nd Place	£25
3rd Place	£50

EDIT:  Sheet is now updated with all selections for the week.  A couple of no-shows already in Week 2.


Footy Naps Selection Form - Week 3

Ok so I lied about the prize pool info.  Have had a pretty busy week and am only doing the round-up post quickly after much badgering by early leader Mike Butlin.

Congratulations on predicting that your woeful beloved Liverpool would be held to a draw on the opening game of the season for a nice early naps result.

Overall a very positive week with 9/17 getting their selections up for nearly £12 profit overall had anyone been crazy enough to trust the group.

Let's keep that up for Week 2 - new link available now below:

Footy Naps Selection Form - Week 2

Up and Running

Ok so we are off and running and it looks like this year we will have a total of 17 players involved. A couple of players from last year have ducked out, but we welcome Pete Stagles back into the fold who participated in the first incarnation of Footy Naps but sat out last season - plas a couple of brand new recruits in the form of Phil & Ryan.

The new sheet is now available via the top left link on this page. Hopefully I'll work out how to get some more automation built into it but for now the format is exactly the same as last year.

I'll confirm the prize amounts etc. when I send round the Week 1 results.

Footy Naps Version 3.0

Ok then.

Season 3 of the Footy Naps and yet another change to the way the tips are collected and distributed.  Rather than having to hunt around for the latest email with links and spreadsheets attached, the latest versions will now always be stored on this blog.

Therefore all you have to do is remember this URL and you'll have the info at your fingertips wherever you are:

footynaps.blogspot.com

Simples.

I've only received 4 payments so far so you'd best get a move on if you want to be involved from Week 1.  For those that are really keen the first form is now set up and ready for your entries.

Good luck!
