Yes, after (fook knows) how many weeks the caption game returns to these boards.
Dead simple - I post up 6 pictures - you post up a caption for each. As to the rules - no racist postings - else anything goes (check out the previous seasons and great examples are those tabled by Gresley, PASTIE, Danthered, Ho, Sterland and Ade).
Aim is to make me laugh!
Points will be awarded for each piture as follows:-
5pts - I think scores 9-10 out of 10 4pts - I think scores 7-8 out of 10 3pts - I think scores 5-6 out of 10 2pts - I think scores 4-3 out of 10 1pt - I think scores 2-1 out of 10
Each match the Top 3 will be awarded an additional 3-2-1 points i.e the best of the 5 pointer scores.
League will be split according to ability so depending on entrants there could be a Premiership, Championship, League 1 etc. New entrants, one-off posters will be allocated to the next available league (until I know how many are playing I cannot say who is on what league till next weekend).
Season lasts for 2 weeks - with promotion and relegation between respective leagues at season end!
Irrespective of league winners will win 15 karma, runners up 10 karma and thrid spots 7 karma. Promotion & relegation will be bottom 2 and top 2 etc.
There will also be a goal of the season competition worth 10 karma up for grabs - voted for by you lot.
NB - after each 2 week season scores will be reset and new leagues will start (I will be keeping a cumulative score).
Enough of the bollocks - lets get captioning! ;D

Get captioning then - one per Pic please
The regulars are well aware of this 'unwritten rule' but I HATE chat on the match gane threads - makes it a bastard to mark to be honest.
If you feel the need to chat then I'll set up a Captiona Chat board but would appreciate a thread with posted funnies only.

Damn right. And big exalt to Ro for fighting bravely through a hangover to set this all up. Hopefully he'll be in the midst of creating a hangover when he marks them and I'll have a better chance

It was always one each and I think editing was fine - but commonly a mistake!

I was so tempted to put chat in the game but came here instead. Ster's family guy clip is a peach! Interesting that he has picked up on the bearded theme himself this season

As a former pro (captions ) editing is VERY dangerous! On my nightly prowls I review the entries and have to say so many people have gone from Caption of The Match to midweek mediocrity to a common-or-garden 4 out of 5 by changing a word or too. It upsets the balance of original thinking!

Definitely. As in all walks of life, the less you give anything any thought the better they turn out. I'm employing the same principle in parenthood and school teaching
