Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 That time of year again folks. We've now held three of these and they've been a great laugh. The Premiership one last year and the World Cup one in the summer have proven to be a success and well worth a tenner. In the first two leagues we had 13 players with a prize pot of ?130 and in the most recent league the prize pot was around ?150 so we're looking to add to that this time so there is more money to be won. In a bid to attract more players, I've changed the entry fee to a fiver a head. you get 100 points to select your Premiership team with and you can make transfers weekly if you feel that your team needs a change. Jack of Hearts will be in charge of the money side of things so I'll let him explain how to pay your entry fee. Your fiver must be paid before the first kick off of the season or you will be deleted from the league. Here is the website that you need to set your team up on - http://fantasy.premierleague.com/ Once you have made your team, join the league which is called Kickback Addicts The code to join the league is 358999-102125 You will need to think of a team name but it'll also ask you for your name. In that box can you please use your Kickback username as it makes it easier to find out who's paid. The prizes will be split between 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. With 1st getting the most, 2nd the second most etc. Let me know if yer interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Do you accept cheques? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Good stuff, Andy For those interested, could you make the payment via Paypal to [email protected]. Please try to ensure that you haven't selected one of the options that incurs a fee before you send the payment. It won't make any difference to the prize pot, as whatever I receive, will be what gets paid out, but it can be avoided by selecting one of the other payment options. Now the important part. When you make the payment could you please add your JKB user name and team name to the notes. This should prevent the ball ache of last year when, for example, 'Super Obua' from JKB posted on this thread, while his team in the league is entered under Kevin Smith, and I received a payment from [email protected] Finally, and also importantly, please note AG's rule above about payments being received by the first kick off. 4/5 people were removed from the league last year when they didn't pay on time, and the same will happen this time. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Don't really need to know if you are not playing lads. Me & JoH so far. Tenner in the pot. Last year the winner scooped about 90 quid lads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 No rush to pay yet. Probably a better idea to hold off to see what the interest is like first. Looks like we've got 5 players so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Just checked last years game. The winner got a ton, 2nd got 40 and 3rd got 25. Not bad at all for basically doing nowt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 That makes it 7 so far then, 35 notes in the pot. Really need to get at least 20 to make it worthwhile I think but we'll see what happens. As long as your fiver is paid before the kick off of the first game it's fine. EDIT: Make that 8.

Sexton Hardcastle Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 If you get decent numbers a 5 spot makes sense. Would have thought plenty of people would be interested. If things didnt pick up, maybe knock it up to a 10 blab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things didnt pick up, maybe knock it up to a 10 blab? Was going to suggest that but it depends on whether or not everyone would be up for that tbh. Stick with the fiver the now, so far we have half of our total last season and it's only been up for a few hours so it's looking promising.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Count me in guys, I thought it was a tenner last year? or was that a different league? It was buddy, just trying something different to try and attract a few more players. It's been more or less the same 15 folk for the last 3 leagues. 11 players now. Over 20 would be great. Just incase anyone is hesitant about giving money to a stranger through paypal etc, in the three games we've had, over 300 quid must have changed hands and I don't think there has been a single problem.
