Sports Prediction Game: The Heptathlon

A seven week game in which each week, you send me your predictions for the results in a different sport.

Each week you'll try to win points based on who wins, as well as bonus points for things like first scorers and win margins. There'll be different bonuses depending on the sport in question.

There'll be 100 points available per round, and the winner is the player with the most points out of the maximum 700 at the end.

Maximum 10 participants, first come first serve.

Tips:

If you only follow one sport then you'll likely struggle, but I don't expect you not to have at least one fail round. I'm not going to tell you which ones will come up, but a look at the calendar should give you an educated guess. Commitment is to make one PM a week, within three or four days of asking, which shouldn't be too taxing.
