Hello everybody and welcome to the Football On Hive 2024 Last Man or Woman Standing Competition 2024. The Rules are very simple
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.
Week 2 Selections
So with week 1 over and week 2 starting I gave all the people eliminated in week 1 a chance to go into week 2 as we are only just starting. We also kept the invite open another week for anyone that wants to play. Below are the selections for week 2 so far. The deadline for entry is Saturday at 12.30pm if you would like to play. I will not be taking entries after the games are played for obvious reasons.
Please note anybody who was late to the party or was eliminated in week 1 have been given you Man City in week 1 to make it fair on everybody who correcting predicted their week 1 selections. So these people cannot select Man City again.
Any blanks below in their selection will be given Ipswich unless I receive a team from them before the 12.30pm deadline on Saturday. Ipswich play Man City away so you are as good as gone unless I receive an entry. I am still waiting on 10 names. Below are the entries so far. If you do not see your name on the list let me know in the comments with your team selection.
Fixture List Week 2
Nice couple of fixtures there to chose from. Choose wisely my friends.
This is the final week we can take new entries.
Results post will be Sunday evening or Monday morning
