I don't know how many of you have seen last seasons Sun Dream Team Elite Mini league ....I’m trying to forget it. The judge pissed it basically and walked away with a cool £500....not to mention £170 for second place sim and £110 for third placed brettley

This season will be even bigger and better with more banter

Basically its a mini league for bragging rights over who is the daddy of the sun dream team. There were 83 people in it this last year all paying £10 a team, I'd love to get that many again or even more....but then again every person that enters vastly reduces my chances of winning.

I'd be over the moon if a few of you put a team in Especially some of the main contributors on the forum. Its a tenner a team and there would be a decent prize for 1st, 2nd and 3rd and a cup prize in case your team has fallen off the pace so to keep you interested.....it would be good to have a bit of banter about who is the best and I think by entering one team only it would be a laugh, i'll be doing weekly updates and hopefully it will breathe a bit of life into the sun forum and we can have a laugh at the same time and see who actually knows what they are talking about

So to summarise
- its one team per Fiso member - if you enter a second team you will be disqualified and lose your entry fee
I want it to be people who are genuinely interested and not ones who will sign up and not pay up.

- it costs ten pounds per team – you can pay me either through paypal or bank transfer. The easiest and safest option will be bank transfer/paypal, just pm me your email address and name, and I can send you the info.

I’d prefer not to give out my address incase I end up with sleuth taking a shit through my letter box, unwanted fan mail etc etc

- You will have to enter a team in the sun’s game and once I have received your money I will pm you the league pin and password.

- I’d prefer the money to clear in plenty of time before the season so I don’t have to chase you up prior to the first game. money to clear by the wednesday before the season starts on the saturday will be ideal

- It will start straight from the first kick off on the first day of the season so your teams must be in by the kick off of the first game. I’m afraid any teams entered after the first game cut-off point will not be valid. You will receive a refund of your £10 entrance fee but unfortunately you will obviously lose your sun entrance fee

NEW THIS MINI LEAGUE CANNOT WIN ANY MONEY, IF AN INDIVIDUAL'S TEAM WINS A PRIZE THEN THAT IS THERE'S TO DO WITH AS THEY WISH


You must include your fiso name in your team name anyone not doing so will piss me off

Mini league warning here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27293

- as it is done using the suns own site and scoring system there can be no arguments about points or scores being added wrongly

For those of you that do not know me. I have previously distributed winnings from mini leagues and if you are unsure about trusting me with money then I can pm you the names of moderators who can give me a reference It might not be a good reference but hey plus more than one of them knows my home and work address, phone number so be assured I won’t be doing a runner with all the cash ( well I will be having it as I doubt that anyone can pick a better team than me )

I hope that we get a few people and the target of last seasons 83 would be fantastic


What you need to do

Enter a team into SDT as normal - can use free team
Declare your interest on this thread
Pay me your entrance fee, in exchange for the league details
Join the mini league (with one team)
Sit back and watch your team fight against other FISOers for money, AND the rights to claim yourself FISO SDT ELITE LEAGUE CHAMPION

What I am looking for

First and foremost, people I trust, that won't register interest, then not pay up.
I would like all entrants to be posters that make an effort to contribute to the forum. Not specifically aimed at SDT players, but all members that contribute their knowledge and advice to the FISO community.

Prize pool

There is money to be won for the top 3, and the winner of the ELITE CUP
1st 400quid
2nd 200quid
3rd 100quid

cup 50quid


unfortunately anyone banned from fiso, or anyone who caused me any problems, or who embarassed themselves on the mini league thread on the sun site will also be banned fom entering...this is a shame as I was looking forward to beating tomuk next season

10-11 the judge ( out of 83)

I've barely had time to spend my winnings from this year and you're already planning for next season Mad Dog...

Count me in and well done for organising again.

Congrats on 3rd mate you progressed nicely through the season. What swung it for you?

As a newbie I enjoyed this league a lot and learnt some lessons along the way, finishing a respectable 12th in the end.

Count me in again for next term Dan, I'll paypal again as I have you saved, looking forward to it.

Thanks for taking the time again to arrange this, any newcomers rest assured you and your money are in safe hands here, roll on next season.

Thanks Nedved. I think a large slice of luck swung it for me (and the Man City clean sheets of course...).

If newbies like me and you can come 3rd and 12th respectively (out of 83 players) then there is hope for everyone.

I too can confirm that Mad Dog is entirely trustworthy and he paid my winnings via EBT immediately.

I am in Dan.

Zim's paying

Oddly enough after all the years I've spent on Fiso I've never taken part in the Elite League. Ah well, there's a first time for everything I suppose, but be warned, I have a cunning plan.

Yeah I'm in again Dan.Hoping to do better than season just gone (only managed to finish just above average),& gunning to win back my title from 09/10 season

the pom will enter the fray, will send the 10 quid on a slow boat via china

I might have a go Dan....i've never entered before...i'll let you know nearer the time.

PS Who's the judge ?

nice one rob. the judge is a man of few words but he knows his dreamteam....he's not planning to give that title away without a fight

Does the judge post on here ? ( I think i will have to enter....you need some worthwile competition ! )

yeah mate I decided not to win it last season as it was my first year running it and it might have looked dodgy so i just entered a random team to finish mid table....I'll be top 3 this season.

judge doesn't post much......he got sent down last year for beastiallity, and as a result is not allowed a pc/laptop as he'll download farmyard animal pics.

here's a tip for you make sure you have holt or hoolahan in your team

That is one of the worlds best kept secrets Really looking forward to next season doin a bit of gloating and defending my title. Agreed Il have to start posting more to pass on my knowledge and wisdom to everyone...Il try and beat stinkys record

Aha, now I know who you really are

Count me in please... cheers..

Sounds good to me, im a bit of a dinasaur as far as paypal and bank transfers go , would it be ok if i sent you a cheque a few weeks in advance to clear instead ? Cheers , if not , let me know how these fangled bank transfers work .

Indeed I am

Having had a couple years off from DT, I will be back.

By the way, it was Edmondson (I think!) that won the Elite league in it's birth year (08/09?). I set it up with just 25 entrants. Great to see it still growing under your leadership, MadDog. Good job!! As the founder, I reckon someone should pay me in as a thank you!

Count me in Mad Dog.

(... the AWOL pikey returns... lol!)

I'll have a go if I may. I recently made a small financial contribution to Jules' excellent website so I want to recoup my investment.

roll up, roll up, roll up.......if your brave enough to enter the biggest, hardest, most demanding, skillfull competition on fiso* then get involved and see if you can be the fiso elite champion

If you want to pay now then feel free to get it done with, would be better for me to get a few people dealt with now rather than all just before the season starts....i'll be busy trying to pick a 100k winning mini league

* maybe not all true

Why am I receiving emails telling me a new reply has been posted on this thread when I haven't requested it, it happened last season in a different Sun thread too, Marquis Mark would know why, very irritating

Dan just let me know the details and il get it out of the road. An seeing as i wouldnt have been in the costa del sol last week if it wasnt for you runnin this Il put you up as well. I run my works league and know what a hassle it can be times...... Not that it matters as Il be winning it back anyway

I'll take part this year squire. Looking forward to it.

Im interested in it mad dog , can i put my name down for the time being as being interested enough at this early stage to sign up , but obviously if i dont get my shit together by the time it all kicks off then rightly so have my possible entry withdrawn ?

awwww f'k it....in for a penny, in for a pound! Dingles is in

roll up, roll up...........if you want to pay early, pm me and i'll send you my paypal details

why not just do a blanket pm to all of last years entrants and also ask admin nicely if he'd add it to the tickertape?

good idea my friend

I'm in Dan, have to do better than last seasons F*ck up
