Last Man Standing is back this season on Football on Hive and as per usual it is a free competition so football fans or not so much fans can have a laugh and a giggle as they make their way through the first 10-15 games of the Premiership season. Our current Champion 
Many people ask me Do I need to know about football to play this game. The answer is no. 
The Rules
This is a very simple game but it is amazing how many people mess it up.
Pick a team: Choose wisely, my friend, as this team will be your only hope in the treacherous world of football predictions.
No repeat picks:
Once you've chosen a team, you can't select them again. It's like trying to date the same person twice – awkward and not allowed.
Survive and advance:
If your chosen team wins, you move on to the next round. If they lose or draw, you're out faster than a referee's whistle.
One game at a time:
For the winners each week, you'll make a new pick. No looking ahead, no cheating with a crystal ball – just one game at a time.
No draws allowed:
In the event of a draw, both teams are eliminated. It's like a double-elimination tournament, but with more drama and less mercy.
The last one standing: The competition continues until only one person remains. The last man (or woman) standing will be crowned the champion, showered with glory, and probably a few congratulatory comments.
** Over the last couple of seasons if someone missed a selection I would award them the first team in alphabetical order but seeing that Arsenal and Aston Villa are very good now, I am changing things around a bit. The teams you will be allocated are now Ipswich , Southampton and Leicester. The participant will have a week to put their selections in . Ain't got no time for lazy ass stragglers.
Remember, this is a game of strategy, wit, and a little bit of luck. Choose wisely, and may the football gods smile upon you!

Past Entrants
Ok the below are the past entrants that begged for me to tag them as soon as this starts up again.
Go for the weaker teams earlier on so you have the strong teams left at your peril!
Go for all the strong teams and have crappy teams left later on at your peril!
So there we have it. It's great that the Premiership is finally coming back. So this will add a bit of craic to it. Best of luck to all contestants. There is usually a bloodbath in the first couple of weeks of the contest. Be clever but not too clever!!
