<b><u>PRIZES:</u></b>
Since we’re down to two we're just going to have two sets of prize packs and the overall winner will get to choose which prize pack they want from the following, and the runner up will receive the remaining prize:
Prize Pack 1 - a special rare pin from the day the Whitecaps were announced as the 17th MLS side and a full set of the six Pepsi cap liners from the NASL era in 1983 that we <a href="http://www.canadiansoccernews.com/content.php?3568-Found-In-The-Attic-Whitecaps-Pepsi-cap-liners" target="_blank">featured on Monday</a>.
Prize Pack 2 - the same special pin as in pack 1 and a full set of 11 Upper Deck 2012 Whitecaps trading cards, which includes Darren Mattocks' rookie card.
<b><u>COMPETITION RULES:</u></b>
For those still in, here’s a recap of the basic rules….
- Every week we will list the eligible fixtures and you pick one of the teams involved that you think will win.
- If that team wins, you are through to the next round. If they lose or draw, then you are out of the competition.
- You will only be able to pick a team once, until you have selected all 19 teams, so choose your weekly selection wisely. You don’t want to be left with the crappy teams playing the top ones if you can help it! He who dares, wins.
- An exception to the "pick only once" rule will be when you only have a selection(s) left that have bye weeks. In such a scenario, you are free to pick a team you have already selected for that week only.
- We will be keeping a running tally of who has picked what team.
- You had to enter the competition in week one. Late entrants cannot join.
- Selections must be made before the first game of that week kicks off. This time will be clearly laid out.
- Anyone posting their entry after the first kick off time any week will automatically be knocked out.
- The thread will be closed for new posts and amendments after the first game has kicked off.
- Anyone selecting a team they have already selected in a previous week will be disqualified. If you notice you have selected a team you've already picked, you have until the first game kicks off to change it.
- If you fail to make a selection in time one week, you are automatically eliminated.
- The competition will run up to, and including, the last weekend of regular season action on October 27th/28th, unless we are down to a winner before then. If there is more than one person still in the competition at that time we may carry it on into the playoffs on a knockout basis. If there are only a handful remaining, we may give prizes to all. This will be entirely up to our discretion, but we will keep you posted. In the unlikelihood that there are loads of people remaining, we may have to carry it into next season.
- The winner will be the last man/woman standing, who will then have the crown until next season. (Note – there is no actual crown, although if I end up winning I may end up buying myself one, just cos).
- Prizes are football related memorabilia from over the years, mainly of a Whitecaps nature, so if you don’t want that either don’t enter or sell it on ebay!
