FISO AOL League - Season thread

Smurphy's Paw · **Joined:** Thu Aug 17 2006 **Posts:** 819

The old Channel4 League has been rebranded as the AOL League. Sign up here for this year's FISO AOL league.

Register on here but also drop me a PM for the league PIN number.

It's only a couple of days until the season kicks off I'll keep the league open for a couple of weeks.
The 'Game Month' format means that you are not at too much of a disadvantage if you join a bit late so we can keep sign up open until, say, the end of August. But as well as the Game Month data I'll keep and publish a cumulative league table after each game month.

PIN 2296

Oh, and unless your user name and surname are obviously similar, please include your user name in the Team Title.

Cheers and good luck all
SP

Any more for any more before the season starts?

I won't be around tomorrow but if you are interested register your team on AOL so that you don't lose points and I'll catch up with league admissions as soon as I get a chance.

Hi All,
Thanks all for joining. I've now caught up with all of the PM's apart from Hammers and I'll PM you now (you say 'teams' in your post: can you keep it to one team in this league? Ta).
Sorry for not being around to get you all registered before the start but I think we're up to double figures now.

If anyone else wants to enter I'm happy to keep the league open for a couple more weeks which will take us to the end of Game Month 1.

Given that there is no prize for the ML on offer and scores are determined by best 3 months, I don't believe that setting a closing date so early in the season is reasonable. The potential exists for FISO members who do not enter this comp at the start of the season to do so well after Xmas after interest in other comps has waned and still still score highly in the comp.

There is absolutely no reason to have a cut off date for entry into this ML.

I also don't see any reason why this is not an open league posting ML code in this thread.
First you have to post your team name here, than you have to PM to league admin, than he is going to PM you the code.

.It used to be a lot easier to join FISO leagues.

Ironically the easiest ones to join now are the ones that have meaningful prizes.

That could be because FISO Admin is admining them. :wink:

.He always post the ML code on the thread.

I didn't set it up differently to piss you two off.
I did it because I've not set up a FISO league before and don't have Admins experience doing it
Would you both like to join?

Anyone else like the league run differently?
How?

It's not about pissing somebody off.I personally don't care a lot.We were just giving an opinion.What Vid says is this competition is not a season long competition.It's monthly and the average of best 3 months.So, people can join at any time.Sometimes people start playing this game even after X-mas.So, there is no point putting a deadline.
And since there are no ML prices you can post the league code in this thread, that would also be easier for you as well.But this is my opinion you can have a different opinion.When FISO admin runs a league he always post the code on the thread.

Whilst I agree that there really isn't any reason (that I can think of) for the ML code not to be posted at the top of this thread, the process that's in place has created a lot more work for Smurphy's Paw than it has for any of us so there really isn't any need to be making a mountain out of a molehill (IMO :wink:

It's also a good way of getting use to checking your PMs.

OI, I put my team in, Papillons Bleues, you haven't put me in yet. You put in Sam when he was pending with me. Please give me my one week glory. :lol:

The PIN is 2296
I could pretend that I kept the league PIN because I offered to run this as a cumulative league as well as the usual 3 month highest score, but it'd be untrue.
The morning I set this up I entered Spencer's doubles league and I just used the same sign up procedure he did. It didn't occur to me to do it any other way!
