Being a Gunner has its benefits, you know…
For starters, it’s an honor supporting the greatest team in the world with a rich tradition that dates back to the days Merlin was the Chief Wizard in Camelot. Being an Arsenal fan also offers you the chance to interact with fellow Gooners that love the team with all their hearts.
That’s where a Gooner like Canon Crested comes in. With a website that offers a platform for many Gooners to interact with each other, the folks at Canon Crested have come up with an ingenious competition that offers Gooners to make predictions on Premier League matches with a lot of prizes up for grabs, like the beautiful Big F*ckin’ German Tee shown above.
The site also has a Fanzone page were celebrate Arsenal fans weekly giving Gooners an opportunity into the minds of other Gooners. I have been featured in the page and it was cool sharing some of my personal info about Arsenal using that platform.
Canon Crested is using the Prediction league as a platform to add some spice to the Arsenal Match Day experience. There are a lot of Prediction games on social media but we have ours in a sustained league format where players earn points per game and an accumulation of points see you top the league and earn the bragging rights of being the ARSENAL OCTOPUS!
Imagine predicting the scoreline and who you think would score first in tonight’s game against Aston Villa and everything pans out just the way you wanted it to. Arsenal’s win would have given you some satisfaction but your correct predictions would make you even happier.
All you have to do is to register to play the Prediction League and bring extra fun to your match day experience. After you’ve completed your registration with the site, go to the predictions page and make your predictions.
Listed below is a simple explanation of how it works. (culled from Canon Crested)
How it works
Before any Arsenal game, log in to the site and predict the score of the game. Also remember to choose the first Arsenal player you think would score to give you extra points. The League is open to Arsenal fans anywhere you are in the world.
Scoring System
Correct Prediction (outcome of game -Win, Draw , Loss) – 2 Points
Perfect Prediction (Scoreline ) – 3 Points
First Goal Scorer (correctly predicting the First Arsenal player to score) – 1 Point
Maximum points you can get per game is 6 points and every game previous points earned are added to your new points earned and you move up or down the table like a regular football league.
Prizes
We are working on getting a sponsor for the league and the deal is almost signed so it should be something super at the end of the season. However until then the winner of the league gets the official Arsenal Puma Jersey once it is unveiled and available on the Arsenal store, 2nd and 3rd place get Puma sponsored Arsenal gear also.
We would have weekly competitions and we would be giving out Arsenal merchandize, movie tickets, meal tickets and Gooner hangouts with Canoncrested crew on match days. If you live outside Nigeria and the weekly competitions prizes would be converted. The value of whatever the weekly competition point is would be credited to your paypal account. Fair enough right? Above all the idea is to bring a little more fun to your match day experience.
For the First week Canon Crested is giving out this very cool shirt from our friends at Clean Sheet Designs, whoever tops the league in our first week gets this shirt. You can follow @_CSD_ on twitter. They have some cool designs you might want to check out.
So what are you waiting for?
