MULAC - RULES & HOW IT WORKS

The MULAC Prediction League is based on YOU making Predictions on the outcome of 4 Premiership Matches each week over the next 15 Match Weekends. This round of The MULAC League starts on SATURDAY 10th FEBRUARY (Week 1) and will runs for 15 weeks up to SUNDAY 19th MAY 2024 (Week 15).

We principally Predict on the same 4 Clubs each week, namely The MULAC Teams which are : Manchester United - Liverpool - Arsenal – Chelsea

Each week you will be required to make 3 Specific Predictions for each Team which are as follows:

1 - "The Match Outcome " e.g. Liverpool to Win, Lose or Draw.

2 - " The Final Score " : e.g. 2-1 to Liverpool

3 - " Nominate One Goal Scorer " for each MULAC Team: e.g. Salah

Each Week YOU Score Points based on YOUR Predictions for the 4 Matches. Each Week the Top Scorer of that Week wins a Cash prize of €25.00

(In the event of a 2 way tie - Money is split, in the event of a 3 or more way tie - one name is drawn from hat)

The Points YOU score each week are used concurrently in THREE MULAC Competitions - Each with Prize Winning Spots .

1: "THE MULAC LEAGUE ": Your Weekly Points are complied into a Leaderboard / League Table and at the End of the Season there are Prizes for the Top FIVE Positions. The Final Total Score is YOUR BEST 13 Weeks - 2 week less than the 16 Weeks entry.

2: "THE MULAC CUP " : A Separate Knock-Out Competition starting after Week 3 : A random Cup Draw is made and from that you are competing "Head to Head" against other members. Each Round is over 2 legs , ie 2 Prediction Weeks, and your combined score over 2 weeks are compared - The winner progresses to next round , the loser is knocked out.

3: " MULAC TEAM of 4 LEAGUE " : In this competition you are aligned with 3 other participants and the Teams combined scored is compared to all others in a Separate Team of 4 Leaderboard. At the start you can nominate your 3 Team Members and give your "Team of 4" name. (Why not get 3 more from your work or family to join). Don't worry if you have not got 3 others, once started all "unattached" participants, we will form into random "Teams of 4" - No one loses out in the opportunity to be in the Team of 4 Competition and this Prize allocation.
