Although an email of required predictions will be sent out prior to each round, individuals are responsible for ensuring that their predictions are made on time. Predictions for each round must be received prior to the kick off of the first match in that round.

5 points will be awarded for correct predictions of the Quarter-Finalists, Semi-Finalists and Finalists.

10 points will be awarded for the correct prediction of the eventual winners.

3 points will be awarded for the correct score prediction of each match. 1 point will be awarded for the correct outcome prediction (i.e. Home, Away, Draw) of each match.

Replays will not be included in the competition unless the first match had been abandoned. In this case, the original prediction will be used.

The Sunshine Appeal accepts no responsibility for anything bad.

Thanks for your continued support for the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal – we couldn’t do what we do without you.

A group of Scotland supporters known as “Team Aching Soles” have signed up to take part in The Kiltwalk to raise money for charities, including TASA.

The group, which consists of David Maclennan. Douglas Noon, Rob Gilchrist, Paul Smith, Bryan Brown, George Corner (junior and senior!), Stewart Maclennan, June Callison, Graeme Shinnie, Monica Devlin, Clark Gillies, Neil McDonald, Thomas Stewart, John Daly, Marion Daly, MacMirza and Graeme Baxter nominated the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal as their nominated charity, meaning 50% of the proceeds raised by the group will assist with future Sunshine Appeal projects.

Aching Soles, whose members are based across Scotland, England and even Sarajevo will be training hard for the event, with some members veterans of previous kiltwalks and other “victims” taking part for the very first time.

The Kiltwalk’s 26 mile route runs from Hampden Park to Loch Lomond Shores on Sunday 8th April 2012.

Funds raised also support Aberlour, CHAS, Clic Sargent, TACC and the Kiltwalk Trust Fund.

The Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal today received a couple of fantastic donations from two unsolicited sources.

Firstly, Jimmy and Eddie at Passport Travel – long-time friends of the Sunshine Appeal – donated a magnificent prize, the proceeds of which will go towards the Kilted Golf Day* funds.

Secondly, through the good offices of Scotland fan Graham Wood, TOTAL Oil’s Alwyn Field have donated £1000 to Sunshine Appeal funds.

We thank all of the people involved.
