What is SAPL?
The Serie A Prediction League is a quick, easy and fun gambling game. Members can test their football knowledge by predicting the results and performances of all Serie A teams in both domestic and international leagues. It has become a great tradition of the R&B Forums and has been hosted almost every year since 2002. All forum members can partake freely. What are you waiting for?
The winner of SAPL receives a year bragging rights and green coloured letters for recognition. A coveted spot in R&B SAPL Hall of Fame for eternal glory. A personalized gold tie for good luck in life. Climb to the Duomo Milan Rooftop and have dinner at Da Giannino in a weekend for two in Milano. A cash prize of €10.000 sponsored by @AC_Wesley.
- only two prices are handed out each year.

6.6 It is your own responsibility to post before kick off time.
6.7 Please only post your prediction once each round.
6.8 If you would like to change your prediction just edit your post.
6.9 If you edit your post after the kickoff of the first match, then any match that has already been started will not be counted.
6.10 If you accidentally post two predictions and both are before the kickoff of the first game, the first prediction will be taken (and the second deleted).
7. Point System.
7.1 Incorrect = 0 points.
7.2 Correct outcome = 1 point.

7.4 Correct score = 3 points.
7.5 The score will be determined at the end of normal match play. (= 90min + extra time)
7.6 For games that have knock-out stages, penalty results are not considered when calculating the points scored.
7.7 Both your total points and your total CS (= correct scores) will be cumulated.
7.8 In case of a tie in total points the total CS will be the tiebreaker.
7.9 In case of a tie in total points and total CS it is considered a tie.
7.10 Points are calculated by machine, it's your own responsibility to check if it's done correctly.
