Last season, Reading was a bogey team for Derby County, keeping them out of the playoffs on the last day of the season. Earlier this season, Derby took a 0-1 away win at the MadStad. Can the Royals take 3 points from another trip north to Derby and a possible match against Nick Blackman? It could be interesting...

Points System - Note this this is a Posted Image match, so the following points will be doubled

10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Derby County 1-3 Reading and the result is Derby County 1-3 Reading (includes an exact draw prediction; draw result & correct score).
7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Derby County 1-3 Reading and the result is Derby County 0-2 Reading.
5 points - correct outcome with incorrect goal difference e.g. you predict Derby County 1-3 Reading and the result is Derby County 2-3 Reading (this result includes a draw with the wrong score e.g. you predict a 1-1 draw and the result is 0-0).
1 point - if you get the prediction completely wrong, you still get one point for taking part!

Bonus Points

You get bonus points for three things:

5 points - correct half-time score
2 points - correct goalscorers, for each goalscorer predicted that does indeed score (NOTE: this season you get points for correctly predicting the goalscorers of only Reading FC. You only get the points if Reading score the same amount of goals as you predicted or more.)
5 points - correctly predicting the 'bonus question' within the specified tolerance. If one person comes closest to the actual value, that person will receive 7 points, but if two or more are both equally close, only the 5 points will be awarded.

Please put the score in this format:

Derby County 1-3 Reading (HT: 0-2) [Home x-y Away format]
Williams
McCleary
Vydra

...followed by your answer to the 'bonus question'...

How much time will expire before a Reading player's first shot on-target (saved or a goal) against Derby County, according to the BBC stats? Credit will be given for a prediction within five minutes of the posted BBC time. If you believe Reading FC will not be credited with a shot on-target against Derby County, make your prediction 'None'.

Good luck with your prediction and to the Royals come Tuesday night!

I think it's a "one use double points" joker. For this game, it quadruples your points.

That's what I think too. Though evidently, if you are the first to play it in the away game v Derby you get a bonus 20 points anyway :)
