Season 18 leagues are below. Looks like we have horseplayer back in the game, he's the most decorated player in the history of the bFQL and also has the highest average, an incredible 13.5. You'll notice the Premier League is a 7 man league this season so pay attention to the ---------- as promotion and relegation is a little different this season to balance the leagues back out. Good luck to millidonk who makes his Premier League debut, it's a tough league to stay in.

Sorry for not sending answers for the last two seasons Scotty, am still following the thread, but have been so busy working at the various poker events going on in London that have had no time for anything else.

Keep up the good work.
