1st Annual Hunter FC EPL Pick the Table Tournament

It's a little wordy, yes, but the EPL season is right around the corner. So here's the deal: predict how the 20 EPL teams will place at the end of the season.


FAQs:

Deadline for picks?
Unofficial: beginning of the family party.
Official: Before the league kicks off August 14th.

How will the scoring be done?
I'm not sure. I propose we make it as complicated as possible using a formula of algorithms, matrices, and the zodiac signs to determine the winner. If that doesn't work, I think we should discuss a system that factors in extra points for picking the champ, the top 4 finishers and the three relegated teams.

Don't you think there should be some additional side bets for fun?
Yes. For instance, everyone picks a team purely based on their name and whose ever team finishes ahead of the others wins one Shrute buck.

    I'm in. My welsh buddy Richard will probably want in on this. Though he has publicly stated how uninterested he seems to be in this years EPL season based on how poorly England showed in South Africa.

    Should we submit our picks here for all to see or send them to someone to collect and then post?

    If Arsenal adds a top notch keeper before the end of the month, I would put them 4th, Spurs 3rd, and knock Man City down (no logic there, I know.)
