Welcome to GTC2; Aston Villa v the Black Cats in red stripes on Saturday 29th August at 3 pm. (Actually more likely to be men in blue, but there you go.)
This one could be more difficult to call, depending on what happens at Palace, of course. For this reason, the Brucie Bonus will revert to the traditional correct guesses posted before 3 pm on this Saturday, 22nd August. One for the purists! :)
If you are new to this, teams can post a guess at any time between now and Kick off on the 29th. (Just the one, please!)
The Divisions are now up, with everybody's current points and status on the GTC Points And Bonuses thread!
There is new information about promotions and what happens if teams forget to guess for months at a time! Following comments last season and before this, such teams will be moving elsewhere, thereby creating spaces for instant promotion! Oooooh!
It should help to streamline the divisions throughout the season, as requested. Hopefully it will be more exciting, as well!
You'll find the details in the OP and with Divisions 3 and 4.
UTV!
(I may have overdone the ! a bit.)

You're not wrong, Sasha'sGrandad. You did post a guess - in the 'GTC League Cup Extras' which appeared for the Notts County Cup match this week and you got a point for entering!
See the 'Divisions, Points and Bonuses' Thread for your latest total and position in the league.

Do cup points count in the league? Am I missing out on points?!
Edit: ballbag! I've just read. I never realised as they didn't count last year. Narked.

Sorry, edgysatsuma;
We didn't play League Cup matches at all, last season, because GTC began after the season started and I was new to running the competition, as you know. I needed to keep things simple and Cup matches overlap with others, as you know.
We did the Secret FACup thing much later on in the season ( Third Round?) and it was kept separate because previous GTC FACup competitions had been separate.
So, I included the League Cup this time because we were playing at home and it was a way of boosting points! Hence, 'Extras'.
You haven't missed out by much, this time; 31 teams played and only five of them scored more than 1, so just join in on the next one against the Blues. It'll be another 7 days' run with the Brucie Bonus wild all week, as it were. Hopefully, there will be more points going around with a derby crowd expected!
UTV, Louzie0

If I have read the rules correctly, I have managed to score more than one point for the first time.
w00t
It's this kind of thing that makes getting out of bed in the morning seem worthwhile.

No problem Louzie. Shouldn't have taken my eye off the ball! Cheers.
P.s. if i miss out on promotion by a point at the end of the season I will jump on the floor and kick and scream.

Points for this round - some high scores!
TheTimVilla got 8! Wow!
PeterWithesShin got 7! Cor!
Des Little and peter w got 5 each, nice.
Legion, Rotterdam, usav, Charlie8182 and JD all got 4 - fantastic!
Gregory's Boy and Hoyle87 both got 3, not bad!
CDBWFan, tony scott, Tugby V, Comrade Blitz, Silhillvilla, LondonVilla, PGW, frank, Bren'd, RudyCan'tFail, mjlions, CJ, DBTW ...........and Steve Rose all got 2! Oooooh!
Which is one better than the rest of us, but they all count in GTC. 50 teams played, some using the magic sponge. Well done!
Guess The Crowd 3 will be for Saturday 19th September against West Brom.
The next GTC League Cup Extras will overlap with it because the match is only 3 days later on the 22nd September. Watch out for both chances to boost your score!
UTV, Divisions tomorrow.
