***OFFICIAL PREMIER LEAGUE HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKE***

[kinboshi]

How many more do we need?

railtard1, blatch, riverdave and fergus all want to play - they'll ship the money in a bit.  They're just having a sleep at the moment...

[Josedinho]

After Marky we need 4 more. Get it sorted tomorrow please people.

whats gonna happen if we dont sell out?

[DaveShoelace]

whats gonna happen if we dont sell out?

shouldnt be a problem, given that we are making a fictional league table of sorts anyway, just leave the missing teams from the table we make

sent too ripple at 7ish.

[TheChipPrince]

I have recived off Baron & Ripple (on behlaf of 2 others), so we now have 14 fully paid, ACE who has promised to send over the weekend, and Marky who ive just replied too.

So 4 places left.  If we dont sell out Im happy to with the majority of opinions. 3 Options possibly, either like Dave said, just leave those teams out.  Offer ppl to buy a 2nd team.  Or possibly pick a charity number or 2?

Will go with majority of ppl, all opinions welcome.

[pleno1]

when do we find out our teams

[TheChipPrince]

when do we find out our teams

im trying to leave it until we sell out for obvious reasons.  But if we aint sold out by tomorrow morning obviously i'll/we'll have to make a decision on what to do with the remaining teams and teams will be unveiled.

I actually like the charity number idea, gives me something to rail if Im doing crap

Probably too much to have 3/4 charity numbers if we dont sell, but nice to have 1 I think.

agreed

maybe we should add a real gambling element and fill the rest of the spots up with free teams for Blatch, Railtard1 and RiverDave

[pleno1]

whoever comes 2nd players at DTD 300   everyone has 3% and he has the rest.

[Matt50]

If it was down to me i would open it up to people having a second team now.
If it fails to sell out then just do the draw as normal, reduce the prize money to suit and just dont include any side that is allocated to a 'spare', so if that team wins then the second place team gets the first place prize money!

Not sure if that makes sense or not, but still early in the morning!

[Josedinho]

Not bothered what we do. Happy to let people have a second team but wouldn't be interested in one myself.

[kinboshi]

16 teams have been selected.  4 teams remain.

It's simples (maybe).  The 16 people who've entered are split into 4 random groups - and each of these groups is allocated a team.  This gives everyone a second team to root for.

Highest placed individual team gets £150, second-placed individual team gets £50, highest placed 'group' team gets £100 (£25 each).

It sounded simpler before I started typing...


EDIT: Scrap that, it doesn't fit with Dwayne's original payout breakdown, which is actually very good.
