Welcome to another year of FF and egg competition.Boltonboy is chairman for this leaguePLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLYRules and guides1. The template for your starting X1 is Alan Hansen's XI (or other TFF nomination). You can change to any of the formations available as long as you comply with Rule 2 beneath.
2. You must make
at least one and no more than two changes to this team by midnight on Thursday 12th August 2009 to allow me and the other league chairman enough time to check that all teams are in order for the start of the season on the 14th August. Invalid teams may have to be excluded or a transfer penalty imposed (making an enforced transfer) so please pay special care to getting your team correct, it is after all very easy.
The Hansen team will be frozen at midnight Friday 6th August (any changes he makes after this date will not count).3. You must enter your team in the superleague as soon as possible. You do not need to have made your changes at this stage - only to have entered a team. I will distribute, as will the other league chairman, the league name and password by PM to all the players.
4. Tables will be posted as and when available and at least weekly, chairman please ensure this happens but anyone can do it (usually the leaders are quick to
).
5. Post your starting team in the following way and use this as a template for any transfers you make during the competition (this is - edit - now Hansens starting team, and below is an example of the template format):-
Reina
Alex
Agger
Assou-Ekotto
Rafael
Gerrard
RVP
Arshavin
Nolan
Essien
Rooney
Defoe
Torres
Transfers Left:- 30
Value of Team:- 49.8m
Reasons for Transfers :-Want RVP in from the start and Rooney is going to sulk all year.
Note if people want to keep a record of their transfers as they go along please list these under the main template, keep the main template clean for the current transfers you are doing.6. The egg competition is an open, friendly and fun competition. If everyone posts transfers as they should on a timely basis (same day or before next scheduled kick off) then there will be no problems, everything will run smoothly. If you feel it will not be possible to do this then please think about whether this competition is for you as it is very frustrating for others who do comply to see others not. So for this year I have reluctantly introduced a rule for this.
The chaiman of each league will check teams online each week and note unreported changes, these will be logged then after 3 strikes an enforced transfer (back to the player transfered but not reported) must be made, then any future non reporting will lead to relegation or withdrawal. This rule is subject to the discretion of each league chairman.7. Following the start of the season manage your team in the normal way.
8. The leagues will be open so that everyone can see everyone else's teams so make sure you make your team
PUBLIC when you create it.
9. Your team name must include your FISO name and some reference to eggs, eggcups etc after that be creative !10. Each league contains 12 players and there will be a 3 up, 3 down promotion and relegation at the end of the season.
11. The winner of each league wins a bespoke egg cup donated and made by Cherylhoney or offspring. Also the winners of each league will choose a charity each for cherylhoney to do a run (or bike ride!).
12. There will be a cup competition which runs automatically alongside the league competition. I will announce the weeks for the cup competition when all the leagues have been finalised or when I get round to it.
13. Above all, enjoy yourselves, have a bit of banter and may the best man or woman win.
14. League Three is an unlimited egg box size, deadline for entries 31st July 2010:-

Finally, will the players above please confirm they still wish to play this year and we will of course require a volunteer for a chairman (boltonboy) who will need to set up the SL, post the details of how to join it by PM to the other players above and then ensure the rules above are applied.
