The new game starts on Saturday 20th September 2025 so you need to be quick to enter.

A brief recap of this simple game is you send in one team by the Friday (or arranged date) of each weekend's fixtures. If your team WINS, you progress to the next week. But if your chosen team that week draws or loses, you are out.

Providing you remain in the competition; you then chose another team to win that weekend. BUT... You can only use each team ONCE!

We have chosen to base this round on the English Premier League.

Entry costs just £10 to the competition (until it restarts after we have a winner) with the prize pot split between the winner and the club. The more players that enter, the bigger the prize and the better the winnings.

It is really easy for anyone to play and our 'Games Master' will keep a tally of entries of who is in/out and what teams have been chosen by emailing weekly updates.

Goal machine Andrew McCallion has kindly offered to be the scorekeeping maestro for the competition and you can contact him by emailing lastmanstanding@newburghjfc.com.

The first round of entries need to be in around midday on Friday 19th September 2025.

If you don’t already have the bank details, drop Andy or myself a line but please ensure your payment is made swiftly to ensure entry.

Remember it is just £10 for the entire competition until a new game starts again!

Rules

1. Each week all entrants must pick a team, from the selected league, to win their game.
2. If the entrant's team wins, they’re through to the next round. Lose or draw, and the entrant is out of the competition.
3. Entrants must notify the organiser of their selection by the agreed date and time. If you do not select a team by the deadline, or in the event of you nominating a team that you have already used, you will be assigned the lowest alphabetic ordered team in the table, that you have not previously selected.
4. You cannot select the same team to win more than once during the competition.
5. Once you have chosen a team, you cannot change it for that round of games.
6. If a match involving your selection is postponed (after you have made your selection), you will continue to the next round. However, that team will no longer be available for you to pick in the following rounds.
7. If all remaining entrants are eliminated in the same week then the prize fund will roll over to the next competition.
8. If two or more remain standing after the final game of the season, then the prize fund will be equally shared between them.
