The Spirit of '76 Carrick Rangers Supporters Club and Carrick Rangers Online are running a Football Pontoon competition to help raise funds for the club.

Football Pontoon works by randomly selecting one football team per participant from the Irish Premier League, English Premiership  & Scottish Premier League.

All goals scored by a team in any weekend (Fri - Mon incl.) fixture are totalled until a team reaches exactly 21 goals. Both league and cup games will count. If more than one team reaches 21 goals at the same time, the prize pot is shared. If a team exceeds 21 goals, they are bust and return to 10. If your team does not play over the weekend period, then you will be awarded 2 goals.

The teams selected from the three leagues are randomly numbered by the computer.  Each participant should pick a number between 1 and 48.  They will be assigned the team corresponding with that number.

Each time the prize is won, the teams are re-drawn for everyone, so you should not have the same team consecutively.

The new game will begin on the weekend of 9 February 2007 until the end of the season. The charge for participating is £1 per week.  Anybody wishing to make online payments through Paypal must pay up front for 10 weeks - £10.

The prize pot gives a percentage to the supporters club and the remainder is split with 75% going to the winner(s) and 25% going to the team(s) with the least number of goals scored in the same period.

Your current team and weekly goal tally will be available to view on-line at carrickrangers.co.uk
