Well why not? But its more work and adding everyone on a season will take time....
Remarks are welcome!

**footstep** · September 3rd, 2013, 10:30 AM

International matches this week end.
Break?

The longer we go into the season, the less inclined newcomers will be - in trying to catch up on large leads.

I'd suggest a format that I've seen elsewhere, when the participants dwindled.

Make it into "Rounds"
One "Round" equals ONE Calendar month.
Game over at the end of each month - new start 1st of next month.
With new players hopefully not having play catch-up

Each Round /month has it's own Final Leaderboard
You could also combine all the monthly Leaderboards into a FINAL

Season-Long Overall Winner.

This way you'd satisfy the long termers, and also newcomers like me - who, to be honest would probably not have joined in if it was mid-September etc.- but if I miss one or two weeks, it's no big deal because a new Round will start soon.

This Portugal prediction could be the end of Round 1 seeing as it's also the end of the First Month.

Just a suggestion.

Sounds a good idea and worth a try, just a question of how much extra work for footstep.

Kit Kat please. A break seems a fine idea, unless others think differently.

I am happy with break being bottom of this league I need to up my game and do some more research, think I need to get in touch with joe kinnear for help

Great Idea

Will think about starting again here, with monthly rounds.

For a ranking over the season we can give for the best of everymonth points for an overall ranking.
Maybe: 5 Points for the winner of the month, 3 points for the 2nd, 2 points for 3rd, and 1 point for 4th
