Spot Prizes
Introduction
At every point during the Golden Boot Game season a Spot Prize competition will run alongside the main competition. So, no matter what position your team is in the overall table, they will still have opportunities to win prizes.
The rules for Spot Prize competitions will never contradict the rules for the overall game. So, we could never award a prize for the most one point goals scored because managers would need to decide whether to put the most likely scorer in the first or last position.
We can, however, base a Spot Prize on the most 8 points goals scored
because managers would already be putting their most likely scorer in the first position.

Each week, the number of points scored by each team will be equal to their position in that week's competition.
The team that scores the fewest overall points in the eight weeks of the competition will win the Spot Prize.
If two or more teams have the same number of points, the one with the lowest points in its best week will be the winner.
Should there still be a tie, the lowest points in the teams' second best week, third best week etc. will be taken into account until there is a winner.
If any team joins the game after the first week of the competition their position and points for the weekly competitions they have missed will be determined as if they had scored no points in those weeks.

Spot Prize 5
For each of the six weeks of this competition the total number of goals scored by your team will count towards your score.
Each week will have a multiplier which will be used to determine your points for that week. For Week 29 the multiplier is 1, for week 30 it is 2 etc. until week 34 when the multiplier is 6. So, each week your total goals times by the multiplier will give your points for that week.
In the event of a tie for first place the tie break will be the number of goals scored in Week 34, then Week 33, Week 32 etc.
