Where are instructions how to make predictions?

Probably you have not gone to the details of the post. In the post, you can see that full instructions should be updated once the semifinal ended. Once the semi-final is ended team for the final race will be selected. And then anyone can be able to take part in a team. Please see the quote below:

Once the semi-final fixtures have been announced, this thread will accept entries for the competition and will explain full rules of entry.

[JollyGood]

Thank you shasan for addressing the question asked by notblox1.

Manchester City qualified for the semi-final yesterday after they beat Burnley. Sheffield United have qualified today after they beat Blackburn Rovers therefore these are the two confirmed semi-finalists. We are now waiting for the results in the other two games taking place today (Brighton and Hove Albion vs Grimsby Town and also Manchester United vs Fulham)

Later this evening the FA Cup semi-finals draw will be made, I will update the thread either this evening or tomorrow with full instructions on how to participate in the competition. I hope it will be as fun and active as the other lottery and competition threads were:

Win c.$50 on Free Lottery#1 JollyGood-Ratimov-Utopia: Fury vs Usyk
SPONSORED BY UTOPIA: $25 prize in the Carabao Cup Final competition

A special thank you has to be given to Utopia for making the prize funds available and also to Ratimov who has added his personal money to increase the prize fund for the Fury vs Usyk competition thread.

These are the semi-final fixtures to be played on Saturday 22nd April:

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Manchester United
Manchester City vs Sheffield United

The $25 in Bitcoin prize will be paid out to the winner of the competition before the FA Cup final takes place as this competition is about trying to accurate guess the correct statistics of the semi-finals.

Hopefully the OP will be updated within a couple of hours with full information about how to enter.
