locust:
I wasn't notified before the organisers took the pfp to twitter. Although I had never participated in any pfp before, I have witnessed a number of the competition here on nairaland.
As a result of the pandemic, the competition was clearly in doubt until I stretched my support for the realization of the competition. I insist I had a right to know and on this notion, I hereby withdraw my support for the contest.

Wonderful.

Chiefheywhy:


Is it a must I drop one game before Tuesday and the other one before Friday .. what if I want to drop both ok Friday ..

Is it allowed ?

It is NOT allowed.

coolestdude01:
Leave them make them dey lament unnecessarily.

Don't be surprised that the peeps wey dey lament pass, nah dem don register first.......possibly with multiple monikers sef.

Aurelius1:
Is it going to be on league format or the the person with the highest cumulative odd wins?

U just said the same thing twice.
In league, is it not the person with the highest points that wins?

Smartgeek:
Na only pfp dey bring this moniker out

donbrowser:

My thoughts too. Why is there need for Twitter?
You should only use Twitter for the winners if need be.

Participation is NOT a must.
These are rules. If the rules no align to ya taste, you abstain.

SIMPLES.

Lhimeet:


What's the need to send all this details when it's an opened competition? Honestly, there is absolutely no point

Yes......it is open but it makes for easy collation of results.

U should know this........U were once a winner.

motta:
the two tickets per week will it be counted as week 1 and 2 or as a week ?

Both will be for week 1.......like week 1a & 1b.

Smartgeek:
It's one thing I appreciate Merrybet for;This competition. No other bookie has the balls to do this. And this didn't start today. Merrybet have earned the right to wanna broadcast this on a larger scale.

Thanks for this.

U have spoken well.

Hammer2019:


How do you plan to checkmate multiple accounts/slots by individuals with alternate monikers?

To be honest, that would be hard, but everything would be done to checkmate it.
Play, have fun and pray mother luck smiles on you so that you can win.

jerrythafinisher:

d Twitter part just week me

It shouldn't.........we want to make the competition bigger and better.
Having it in two platforms ain't bad.
This is our 9th year of MERRYBET coming out to sponsor us......posting on Twitter ain't a bad thing.

Sponsoring this competition for 8 consistent years is no joke.

Chiefheywhy:


Posting these games on Twitter , are we to post with screenshoted pic or copy and paste ?

Just the the betslip ID & the hashtag

Now a brief layout of how this year's competition is going to play out.

- This year's competition dynamics has changed. In as much as we are posting our betslips on the Football Betting Thread (Nairaland), we are also going to make use of Twitter and hashtags have already been assigned for it.

- So for everyone wishing to partake in this year's tournament, please kindly endeavour that you have your twitter accts ready.

- Please, when posting any of your betslips on Twitter, please endeavour to use these hashtags #merrybet, #puntforpride, #nairaland. (Don't say you weren't told)

- Every aspiring contestant will take part in this competition in a LEAGUE format.(meaning its going to be a competition for 13weeks involving all participants and the person with the highest points amassed at the end of week 13 wins the competition)

- For this league format, there will be NO rounding-up of the odds. What you play is EXACTLY what you will get.

- The minimum odds still remain 1.5 and the maximum odds is infinity.

- Our Week to be used in this LEAGUE stage starts from ........a MONDAY 12.01AM to SUNDAY 11.59PM. A maximum of Two betslips(min. of #50 each) will be dropped every week, one before Tuesday between 12:01AM & 6PM and the other between 12:01AM & 6PM Friday with all events on both slips terminating on/before Sunday 11:59PM.
