    <font size="3"><font face="Arial">I would be happy to run another Footy Challenge competition for next season 2007-08 if people would be interested in joining.

    </font></font><u><font size="3"><font face="Arial">Major Changes
    </font></font></u>    <font size="3"><font face="Arial">
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">Last year&rsquo;s was ok and a bit of fun, but it had its limitations. It didn&rsquo;t allow people to get involved, and as a result, it didn&rsquo;t create much excitement. Most of all it didn&rsquo;t provide the chance to try and change your destiny once the games had started.
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">
    </font></font><u><font size="3"><font face="Arial">New Format
    </font></font></u>    <font size="3"><font face="Arial">
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">So, I&rsquo;ve come up with the basis of a revised format. It&rsquo;s based on the same principle but it will give players much more flexibility to play the game successfully and make changes if things aren&rsquo;t going well.
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">Once again it would be run on a league table format, but this time the award of points would be changed to reflect those of a proper League. It&rsquo;s also based on <u>actual gate</u> forecasts - as well as a stab at the <u>seasonal average figure</u>. These would not be &ldquo;every week&rdquo; forecasts, but the format would allow you more leeway to pick up points. In effect you would be &ldquo;playing&rdquo; 46 league games, home and away, picking up points as you go along.
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">It will involve you being able to submit <u>more than one forecast</u>, so you can cover the prospect of high and low attendance fixtures, and this time it will have nothing to do with how many other players are nearer to the gate figure than yourself.
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">You would also get a number of opportunities to make changes if things aren&rsquo;t going so well.
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">Ifanyone is interested, and as long as it&rsquo;s ok with Site Admin, I will go ahead and develop it a bit further and come back with an invitation to join next season&rsquo;s debacle.
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">If, on the other hand people have had enough of such tripe, then I&rsquo;ll ditch it.
    </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial">

    count me in

    my only criticism of last year is that being a thicko I thought we were trying to predict the seasonal average and as such people who ultimately were very close to this figure got few points during the season.
