Most likely invalid with 30 by the same person but the wording's a bit ambiguous as it just refers to ml's of 5 teams only.Maybe they'd accept a 3 person league of 2-2-1 making 5 teams.

I would say it is definitley invalid because Mr Mccluskey's teams make up three quarters of the league entries. The defining sentence in the rules is "having been substantially been submitted by the same entrant",

I just had a thought Ashers . I know that you have been touting your Mini League on the Main Site as well and I wonder if he thinks that he has entered his teams into the Sun's main game. ??

No he is not in my main game mini league

Where a Mini League entry of just 5 teams has been identified by the promoter as having substantially identical teams or having been substantially been submitted by the same entrant, the Mini League may be invalidated for a prize. An assessment will be made by the promoter and all factors taken into consideration.'[/quote]


I think this could be valid due to the word JUST.

it will be invalid... and also with that many teams there is no chance your overall average will be good enough to win anything anyway!

The mini-league that won the prize last year, finished about 7th or 8th overall (cant remember exactly), but won due to the rest being invalid

It won't he has aplogised

How are we doing here - is this mini league a bust? I still have a few teams still not spoken for.

Just PM'd you the details Todrex.

We are 48th in the Mini League after week 1. How could Ringo manage 0 points and Fozzie only 3. !!! I smell sabotage.

LOL@pa, just a minor blip my friend,37 games to go yet

if it isn't closed and you want a few more entries let me know how many and when you want them by and i'll put them in. did 20 at the last minute, with best about 300th.

looks like stories of zoran's retirement are somewhat premature and he even appears to have got a few mates interested in the games

anyway good luck to everyone and if you want me to put the best 5 - or something like that - in at some point just pm me.
