You predict eight results each week from home win, away win or draw and you get a correct point for each.

Points determine positions in our Platinum League and Championship with winners picking up prizes & drinks.

Trophies are also awarded to cup and tourney winners who can also get prizes of similar value or donate to charity.

The Platinum League is currently an unlimited player league with positions determined by points gained from predicting 8 weekly game outcomes over 32 weeks. It started in August at the beginning of the English domestic season and runs until May, the last week coinciding with the conclusion of The Premier League. After 31 weeks, all points are reset for the top 10 players, who fight it out on the final day to decide the champion. Other players can still play that week but only the top 10 will be in contention for the title. Those players are also drawn a home team each (determined by Premier League and Platinum League order - i.e. 1st placed in our league as of Week 31 gets the team placed highest in The Premier League playing at home and so forth) and should players be tied on points to decide the champion, the player whose home team wins will become champion. Should that not decide anything, then it goes to the player highest in the league as of Week 31, of all the players who are joint 1st after the final week's points are counted.

Players compete for the league trophy throughout the season, predicting the results of matches from a variety of leagues including The Premier League, The Championship, The WSL and other domestic leagues both in Europe and beyond!

David Burtenshaw is our current defending champion!

This season, we delivered to him The Platinum League Trophy, pictured below and whilst we offered him a multi-pack of the beverage of his choice, he kindly chose to donate the equivalent value to charity.

Next season The Platinum League's current last day format will be scrapped.

THE PLATINUM LEAGUE

20 Rounds - From 8 weekly games chosen by PG8, each player predicts 'home win', 'away win', or 'draw', obtaining 1 point for each correct prediction. The winner is the player who either has the most points, or wins based on away wins, then home wins, then draws, then whoever acquired the points first. If still tied at season's end then its first to acquire points, fewest non-submissions and then head to head on first to acquire an away win, first to acquire a home win and first to acquire a draw. If still tied than we have play off matches.

For this season, the top 2 players will be promoted to Season 4's Platinum League (2025/26) with the winner also picking up a trophy. The next 6 eligible players will enter play offs to then confirm 3 more players Platinum League status next season. This game is running on our Championship app which will close at season's end, with football friend Daniel Waddington completing fixture selection and results updating duties along the way.

Our season started with a 1 week Super Cup followed by the 32 week Platinum League. A League Cup, FA Cup and Champions Cup, all weekly competitions, take place to coincide with real cup finals and there are 4 additional summer tournament qualifying weeks occupying the international breaks where players attempted to reach our summer tournament. Trophies are available for the league and all cup competitions.

Each year the summer tourney is based on either the Men's or Women's World Cup or EUROS with the winner, every year, able to keep the trophy in their home, but tradition maintains they return it each year in preparation for engraving and delivery to the next winner. We also have two breaks at Christmas and Easter with those filled by promo events. This means weekly games all season. We also have a Player of the Month award for Platinum League players. This season our Championship App is now up and running with next season's Platinum League currently in development.

Each year our Christmas Trophy gives Platinum League players a rest and a chance for newbies to try out the game.

In 2025 Tom Barlow-Taylor relied on the final game, a Chelsea draw against Manchester City, to clinch his place in PG8 history as the only player to win 3 significant prizes, although as of Easter, he shares that stat with Michael Clarke. His previous awards include last season's Super Cup and Easter Trophy, so quite the achievement to be so consistent in the space of 17 months.

For our third season the Super Cup opened it, this 1 week competition being won by Samantha Lane.

In March the League Cup was a last version of that competition with the FA Cup and Champions Cup in May being our last 2 as we go to 2 leagues and 1 summer tourney for Season 4.

The FA Cup and Champions Cup will also be 1 week competitions, coinciding with the FA Cup Final and UEFA Champions League Final. Last Season Michael Clarke made it a League Cup double, winning multiple round versions of the game in 2024 and 2025, with Brad Cartwright and Ross Arnell-Smith picking up the FA Cup and Champions Cup respectively, also winning multiple round versions of those competitions. We've gone for the single round versions to ensure that players who may have been knocked out can still play in something every week.

Cup competition rules are similar to the league with players being drawn a cup team (usually half of them a home team and the other half an away team) to determine a winner in the event points are tied. Order rules are published for each cup as and when they're played.

You can play in those competitions in Season 3 but our new home will have an email list to get launch details of new competitions.

All the cups are going for Season 4 as we narrow things down to 2 leagues and 1 summer tourney just to keep things simple and improve the experience.

Each year a summer tournament concludes the season with the winner lifting our ultimate trophy.

Tradition is this trophy is returned to us each year to be engraved and delivered to the next tournament winner.

For the 2024 and 2025 Summer Tourneys, players competed in Group Stages and Knock Out Stages, predicting game outcomes to progress out of their drawn group with the Knock Out Stages being a winner takes all. For 2026 its all players to the final and we have an all player version to allow newbies to try the game before Season 4 kicks off.

This season's summer tourney is based on the FIFA 2026 World Cup and qualifying is done.

All is explained HERE.

SUMMER TOURNEY

The Platinum League winner each season takes home the greater value of prizes although The Summer Tourney trophy is the one they all want to win ; the ultimate season ending prize. Whilst the league attracts The Platinum League Trophy and a multi-pack choice of favourite beverage for the winner, The Summer Tourney Trophy carries the most prestige with the winner returning it the following summer in preparation for engraving and delivery to the next winner.

Meanwhile, the Super Cup, League Cup, FA Cup and Champions Cup all award a trophy for keeps to each winner, with the Christmas and Easter Trophies offering high cash value Amazon Vouchers or equivalent although Christmas 2025 we broke that tradition. We also have a Player of the Month award with the winner of that getting a £5 Amazon Voucher or equivalent prize although that is consigned to The Platinum League.

For our brand new 2026 Championship, there is a trophy for the winner, but they also get promotion to The Platinum League.

For Season 4, given it will be 2 leagues and 1 summer tourney, this simply means more funds for the prize pot.

PRIZES

CHARITY POT

This game comes with another benefit. A season's end donation to charity. Throughout the season players can opt to donate their equivalent prize value to charity. That pot builds up and at season's end we donate that amount to a designated charity partner. In our first season, we raised £280.20. As Daniel Prescott's employer EDF Energy kindly supported us, we supported their charity partner Alzheimer's Society, through one of our players who ran a local charity football match. See more @ https://www.justgiving.com/page/hove-charity-match. After our second season, we supported the same event with that match, held in Lancing on 30th May 2025, West Sussex, and we donated our final second season total to it of £180.98, with gift aid and tipping raising that to £226.23. Thanks again to all who gave up their prizes for this worthy cause.

That's a stunning £506.43. In Season 3, we'd like to exceed that amount.

That football match is happening again on Fri 19 Jun 2026 at Worthing FC and we plan to support it again.

Thus far, Season 3 has £168.94 in its Charity Pot.
