Heads Up - A Reminder Of How The Final Matchday (38) Will Be Run...Rule 15
15. FINAL MATCHDAY FIXTURES - THE POSTING PROCEDURE
At the top of the table: Whoever is top must post their predictions before anybody who is within 15 points of them. The second placed player (if within 15 points of the leader) then posts his forecasts and so on until all players within 15 points of the leader have forecast. Deadline hours will be allotted when the players who fit the criteria are known after matchday 37 has been played and the table published.
At the bottom of the table: It's almost the same as the above rule only here players within 15 points of the bottom placed player must post first. Again deadlines will be allotted after matchday 37 has completed. Should the player in 20th position not be within 15 points of 17th position (safety) then it moves up a place and this rule will apply to the player in 19th position (and so on to position 18) in the event that he too isn't within 15 points of safety.
These 2 new rules add a little spice to the last matchdays forecasts and give a chance for the Top position to be reached by anyone within a fair radius of 15 points. Likewise it gives the players in the relegation zone a fair crack at getting out on the last day.
This stops any forecasting by potential winners simply mirroring those below them so that they remain in pole position.

I'll try and publish a revised table at some point over the next few days as things have moved on what with the results from the last few days fixtures and there's still tonight's Spurs vs Arsenal match to come. I appear to have dropped a place to start with and Dan has extended his lead at the top.
