⚽ Sponsors: UTOPIA & Igebotz: FA Cup Semi-Final competition $50 prize

[JollyGood]

There are now 10 accepted entries. I hope we increase this number to over the 25 mark before the competition ends on 22nd April 2022.

Thanks I made the prediction. Thanks JollyGood

Welcome. Wishing you and all the other entrants success 

Thanks for this contest!

I hope you like the format, I wanted it on the lines of the Carabao Cup Final competition 

[JollyGood]

The prize fund has been increased from $25 to $50 

Igebotz has generously offered to contribute $25 towards the prize fund. Add that to the $25 which Utopia have already made available, it increases the total pay out for the winner to $50

Thank you Utopia and thank you Igebotz

There are now 12 accepted entries for this competition.

At moment the FA stated the semi-finals take place on 22nd April 2022 therefore this competition close soon before the first game kicks-off.

Once again I thank Utopia and Igebotz Management Services for contributing $25 each for this competition. I hope those browsing this competition will check out the services they offer because the $50 prize fund has been made available by them.

[JollyGood]

There are around two weeks remaining before the FA Cup semi-finals take place. There is a $50 prize fund for the winner and there is still plenty of time to enter competition 

[JollyGood]

For those that have not already participated in this free competition sponsored by Utopia and Igebotz, you still have time. Maybe you will be the one who ends up having the most points.

With around 11 days to go before this competition closes and with a $50 prize fund there should be more participants by now  

[JollyGood]

There is just one week left before the semi-final games take place. If you have not entered the competition yet there is still time to enter. Entries will close a short while before the first game kicks-off.

COMPETITION NOW CLOSED

The result of the first semi-final is: Manchester City 3-0 Sheffield United

The game ended a short while ago, Manchester City are through to the final of the FA Cup and on course for a treble this season consisting of the FA Cup, The Champions League and the Premier League.

I will calculate the points tally for the entrants of this competition and update the thread when I have time.

[JollyGood]

After checking the statistics for both games, I have listed the results for the points below and will add the scores to the entries shortly:

===============

1: Manchester City and Manchester United
which teams will reach the final (points only awarded if both teams correctly selected)
3 points

2: (0x Manchester City 1x Sheffield United and 1x Brighton 3x Manchester United) total = 5
how many yellow cards in total will be shown in the semi-finals
3 points

3: total = 0
how many red cards in total will be shown in the semi-finals
1 point

4: (Manchester City=3 Sheffield United=0 Brighton=6 Manchester United=7) total = 16
how many goals in total will be scored in the semi-finals (including extra-time and penalties)
5 points

5: total = 1
select one option – how many semi-finals will end without extra-time or penalties (0, 1 or 2)
2 points

6: total = 0
select one option - how many goals in total will be disallowed by VAR in the semi-finals (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5+)
4 points

7: (Manchester City=1) total = 1
how many penalties will be awarded in total in the semi-finals (90 mins and extra-time only)
1 point

[JollyGood]

The points awarded to each participant are in red and if my calculations are correct, GazetaBitcoin and bitzizzix both have 11 points each therefore have won the competition

Now, this was not part of the original competition but in order to add a little more excitement for the winners: do the winners want to share the $50 prize by receiving $25 each or would they like to have a competition just between the two of them for the FA Cup final and the winner takes the whole $50? Let me know.

The points awarded to each participant are in red and if my calculations are correct, GazetaBitcoin and bitzizzix both have 11 points each therefore have won the competition

Thank you JollyGoodm Igebotz and Utopia for this contest! I am more than glad to hear I was one of the winners 

Regarding the proposal to extend the contest -- I don't want to be the party pooper here, but in Romania we have a saying: What's in hand is not a lie Meaning that you better keep what you have in hand than risk it for a possible other winning. So please don't take me wrong, but I'll keep my 25$ prize

Thanks again for organizing this very nice contest!

Me too, I chose to keep the $25 gift. And I also didn't expect to get it and it makes me feel good, because I always enter your contests and now I'm lucky.
once again I thank JollyGood Igebotz and Utopia for this contest.
