Shield 1st Round

Round 1 is shown below. To view the knockout stage for round 2 onwards click here

You will be automatically entered into the 1st round group stage. A draw will be made to see who you play in a head-to-head format. The 1st round will be played over 3 weeks (week 4, 5 & 6), the person with the highest combined total over those 3 weeks will progress to round 2.

64 players move on to the 2nd round where there will be a draw to determine who you play, this will be the last draw as your route to the final is already laid out. If there are any tied matches then it will come down to the dreaded ‘Goals Predicted’ rule, the person who has predicted the closest amount of goals scored in the selected matches compared to the number of actual goals scored in those fixtures.

The Bezza Shield does not require extra predictions! The Shield will take the points you receiveĀ from your normal league predictions.
