PAR Community Shield
DIR By: mbj44
Date: July 14, 2025, 1:47 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
As a bit of a PAR preseason warm-up, Ive created the PAR
Community Shield. Open to everyone a simple predict once now and
at the end of May 2026 we will find out who has won.
20 questions and (as Im guessing this could be quite low
scoring) two tiebreakers.
Each question is worth 1 point.
Rules
Statistics used for the answers will be based on the referees
who enter the field of play (or VAR booth!) at the start of the
match, not the initally released appointments.
Unless stated otherwise, referees (or assistants) in SG1, SG2 or
on the National List will be considered as eligible answers.
For the debut questions, if somebody has previously replaced an
injured referee in a match they are not considered to have had
their official debut at that level yet. i.e. were 4O on the
Championship and took over the game.
If one of your answers is ambiguous i.e you answer Smith for a
referee where Josh Smith or Lewis Smith are equally likely
answers I will consider this incorrect but if its pretty obvious
which one you are meaning I will allow it.
Entries can be made up until the first EFL appointments are
released. Any modified or edited answers after this date will be
invalidated.
