Scoring

SCORING POINTS: Players in your team will score points based on their real-life performance in Barclays Premier League matches during the 2011/12 season only. Points will be scored from the first eligible match scheduled for 3pm BST on Saturday 13th August 2011 and up to and including the last eligible matches scheduled to be played on 13th May 2012 (or when so ever played). Points will be awarded as follows:

All Players:

Starting X1 +2 (awarded for starting the match in the starting XI)

Substitute appearance +1 (awarded for making a substitute appearance having started the match on the substitute’s bench)

Goal scored +5

Goal assist +3 (assists may be awarded to more than one player)

Man of the match +5 (awarded to the Skysports.com man of the match which may differ from the televised man of the match)

Missed Penalty (penalty taker) -3 (penalty taker fails to score direct from the penalty kick)

Yellow card -1

Red card -3 (includes -1 for a yellow card)

Goalkeepers and Defenders only: Team clean sheet +5 (awarded to players who have played for 75 minutes or more in the game and includes the substitute appearance point if applicable)

Goal against -1

Missed Penalty (goalkeeper) +3 (awarded if no goal is scored direct from the penalty kick – save or missed)

Your nominated captain will score double points for your team, both positive and negative.

Points for goal assists will be awarded in the opinion of and at the sole discretion of the judges. Assists are generally awarded to the player who provided the last clean pass, parried or rebounded shot. Points scored in abandoned matches will be void and will not count in the Game. Classified points will be updated on the Game Website and mobile game app daily.

The judge’s decision in respect of the awarding of points will be final and they will not enter into any correspondence regarding points deducted or allocated to players.
