FS Record: Dreamteam Mini Leagues also ran :(
I get the impression they are doing filtering on top 100 in WDT before publishing table, i.e. taking out duplicate names. I wonder if they'd filter out teams entered after 20th August :?

New teams having WDT capability does not surprise, it's very SDT to make up some rules and then have no plan whatsoever to actually manage them into their systems. :roll:

Not having the facility to see your teams position in tables like previous years, prevents anyone from finding any faults with the game and cheating as in Noahs Ark..


The Sun, as far as i know, still have people from Fiso on their back from last season regarding the mini league final results- so this year they just dont want any hassle, and unfortunately have taken away the facility which makes the game incredibly boring.

The monthly table is a joke just showing the top 5 FFS.

It is annoying that you cannot see the teams around your own to see what your up against.
Futile I know, but it is also interesting.

Really hope this isn't the case

Each entrant's team, other than PREMIUM teams purchased through Premium packages after 12:30:00 BST on Saturday 20 August 2011, will be automatically eligible for entry each Weekend Dream Team

I added 6 new teams last night, WDT'd them all (manually). I would be most upset to hear that my money and time was wasted even if the T&C specify otherwise. Why provide the ability, and encouragement (enter now link next to each new team) if they are going to be invalid.

SDT eff up, number 187...

Refund time I guess.

The reason I don't want this to be the case is simple, I know, especially if they reduce the entry fee, I will be very tempted to enter more teams. 61 teams is comfortable on a Saturday morning for me.....if I get to the stage where I was last year (over 150 teams) I'll hate it again.

If they don't allow wdt for new teams then I can't really see why anyone would bother entering any more and that cuts off their main income steam.

So my guess is that they will allow it and say it was a typo

It shouldn't be allowed, they clearly specified that any teams entered after the 20th will no be able to enter SDT. And confirmed this was the case to Chris King. Quite a few of my seasonal entries have been set up with SDT in mind, what is the point doing that if they are going to allow entries every week.

Game changer (in a really bad way) if this is not an error.

I agree it shouldn't be allowed, but confirmation to Chris King means nothing where somewhere in the t&c's it states they can amend the t&c's if they wish. So basically - no rules

Found it, section 17

The Promoter reserves the right to amend and/or waive these Terms and Conditions or any part thereof at any time and entrants agree that no liability shall attach to the Promoter as a result thereof, and that the exercise of such discretion shall not result in any compensation or payment being payable or paid to any entrant

If this is the case I will abstain from the Suns game forever, bang out of order if so, I'd also invite all FISOers to do the same petition style, the Sun can't get away with changing the rules to suit themselves if funds are down, totally disrespectful to its customers

FISO should unite and EVERYONE should refuse to play the Sun next season (especially muliti teamers)

It'll be a list of non entries to their game next season, I'll happily administrate it and get it to them, just being annoyed isn't enough, make a stand and refuse to play their game and line their pockets

I don't particuarly target WDT ( no block defences e.t.c. ) and have no desire to enter anymore teams, but this is totally wrong !! Why clearly state, that teams won't be eligible after the 20th....and then change the rules ? Obviously for financial gain ! ( if my recall is correct it says, " so everyone has a fair chance "...that's now a bit of a joke ! :cry: :roll: )

Just been catching up on emails. Here is the first paragraph of my WDT email:-

"Test out your new transfers...Weekend Dream Team allows you to turn your existing Dream Team in to a 14-man squad. Target the weekend’s fixtures by adding three in form players - enter by 2:45pm this Saturday for a chance to win £1,000!"

This suggests new teams are ineligible as you are urged to "test out your new transfers" and there is nothing about buying new teams to target it.

anymore on this, i'll be pretty disgusted if you can enter wdt with new teams after the 20th and be interested to know if anyone with a team created after20th aug wins a prize from wdt

seriously doubt i'll spend anymore money with the sun if this is correct
