Referees mark the state of pitches at each match – either Excellent, Good, Satisfactory or Poor. Awarding 4 marks for Excellent down to 1 for Poor produces the following up-to-date tables for 2007/08, with the highest marked Clubs at the top.

Perhaps not surprisingly the Conference pitch used by CRC is top of the Premier Division list while First Division Gorleston’s pitch has been marked Excellent for all but one of their home matches so far this season.

HOW TO SCORE IN FULL: 8 EASY STEPS

1. Players who appear in the Fantasy list score points in all competitions that FC Clacton first-team participate in from Saturday November 3^rd 2007 until the final game of the season.  Players not picked for ANY reason score zero points for each game they miss.

2. Five points are awarded for a goal scored by any of your players. A player scoring three or more goals per game gets five additional bonus points. 

3. A goalkeeper or a defender who keeps a clean sheet scores five points. If they concede one goal, they score no points, two goals -1, three goals -2 and so on.

4. A midfielder whose team keeps a clean sheet scores two points. Midfielders are not penalised if their side concedes goals.

5. Any player who comes on a substitute at any time scores or loses points as if he had played the whole match. Players subbed off also score or lose points in normal fashion regardless of how long they were on the pitch.

6. The season's top individual scorer earns a 20-point bonus. In the event of a tie, each of the tied top-scorers will get 20 points.

7. There will be ONE mid-season Transfer Window. During this period, you can swap up to two players providing you do not break any of the existing rules.  This Window will be in February 2008.
