Premium Bonds

Entry fee fund will be used to purchase Bonds in August.
Numbers will be eligible for monthly lottery draws from 1 Oct 2010 to 1 May 2011.
Returns totalling £500+ in the whole season will be split equally by all managers.
Any smaller win can be used to boost the following year's super league prize fund.

Prizes

1) If SL is fortunate enough to win the league of leagues national prize then the resultant cash award will be shared equally by the top five teams in the final super league table

2) Super league fee redistribution will be based on the number of entries; eg:

- for TFF2009-10, the £352 fund was split £200, £80 & £40 to the top three teams, with £32 going to the side with most points in the second half of season

- in TFFWC2010, the prize fund of £560 was split £250, £125, £75, £50, £35 & £25 across the top six sides.


edit:
- as posted on 14 Aug, the 2010-11 competition begins with 29 managers, 58 teams and £638 in the entry fund.

Based on the two precedents above, prizes will be upscaled as follows:

£333, £150, £75, £30, £25 to top five in the final league table

£25 to Second Half contest winner (most points gained in fixtures from Tues 4 Jan to Sun 22 May 2011).

- as mentioned on 1 Oct, super league entry fees have been converted to Premium Bonds.
Our Bond range is 172DM 252021 to 172DM 252650.

These numbers are eligible for lottery draws between October 2010 and May 2011 inclusive.
