Ah, I have it round the wrong way... I am playing to lose (Menagerie), whereas I'm a Blade will be playing to win.

Sorry!

[Globus]

Sorry guys.  Can someone explain this to me?

Try to lose?  Is that just picking players out of position, wrong boots etc etc ?

[agadorspartacus]

Yes your right. But from further discussion by message your entered in The Silver Spoon which is playing the normal game

[agadorspartacus]

The Silver Spoon now has Seven Managers entered. The Runcible Spoon needs Deca's Villains in, and Jule's Liverwood Luddites. Then with a bit of co ordination the last to enter can make up the final teams

[agadorspartacus]

Finally we are all entered. Two League's of eight. The Runcible Spoon is the competition where you do your best to lose. Play Players out of position, wrong weather, wrong boots. Aggression level that does not suit The referee. Any Beer Headed Player's. Got The idea?

The Silver Spoon is the other League, where you try your best to win all the games you play. The whole competition is three competitions in one. The Runcible Spoon, The Silver Spoon and The Pairs competition. The winners of the Pairs will be the Pair who jointly perform the best in both competitions.

[agadorspartacus]

Just to whet everyone's appetite here is the prize structure:

Runcible Spoon

1. 2,000 credits from Sunday League
2. 2,500 credits, 1,000 credits from Sunday League
3. 3,000 credits from me
4. 3,500 credits from me
5. 4,000
6. 4,500
7. 5,000
8. 5,500



The Silver Spoon

1. 5,500. 3,500 credits from me
2. 5,000. 4,000 credits from me
3. 4,500 credits from me
4. 4,000 credits
5. 3,500
6. 3,000
7. 2,500
8. 2,000


As you can see everyone will get a prize. The prize pot for each league from me is 27,000 credits making the total for the Competition 52,000 credits. Remember the pair that win most credits are the overall pairs winners.

wow, you are very generous Ag,

I hope your efforts with the Christmas competitions helps bring some life back to sunday league. Unfortunately, it's gone very quiet lately.

[bluestarknights]

great creativity ag love the competition ideas (even though i prop up most of them)

[agadorspartacus]

It's just about trying to have some fun in our online Sunday League games. If I could make it snow in the game I would

We're off out of the traps in The Runcible Spoon. Blue Star Reserves are in pole position, followed by Tottenham Hotspurs and last year's Runner's Up Betty Swollocks. These three Teams have no points. In The Silver Spoon Rathpeacon, The Seg and I'm a Blade FC all have maximum points after the first day of the competition. If any competitor wants to examine how The Pairs are doing please post in this thread.

Brilliant. Thank you for that fantastic review of how the pair's are doing in these early days

[iwopp]

Damn! I can't buy a loss 

[agadorspartacus]

Rathpeacon and The Seg both lead from the front in The Silver Spoon. The two Teams have maximum points and the same goal difference. Propping up the table with no points on the board..yet..are Surreal Madrid.

In The Runcible Spoon the two teams with zero points are Blue Star Reserves and Betty Swollocks. Sitting proudly at the wrong end of the table with maximum points is The Jellybellies
