DETAILS

Super league competition is based on the Telegraph Fantasy Football game:
http://fantasyfootball.telegraph.co.uk

• - season begins at 19:45 BST on Friday 11 August
  
  - every manager sets up two unique teams
  
  - super league entry fee is £22 in total (ie, for two XIs)
  
  - payment options are cheque or online bank transfer only
  
  - entrant is responsible for forwarding fee to clear by Thurs 10 Aug
  
  - league name, PIN and passcode will then be provided by Private Message
  
  - team pairs MUST also be added to league before Thurs 10 Aug
  
  - team view option is Private so no one can see anyone else's players
  
  - funds will be fully redistributed as prizes in May

PRIZES
1) If super league is fortunate enough to win a league of leagues prize,
resultant cash will be shared equally by top five managers in final SL table.

2) Two-Foot fee redistribution will be based on number of entries.
Each team competes in its own right (ie no adding of scores across both sides).
NB: to mirror TFF rule, a manager can claim one prize in SL leaderboard and one prize in each side-contest;
see Rule 14 Prizes in T&C: https://fantasyfootball.telegraph.co.uk ... ue/icterms

  - if you would like to raise any general query.

Good luck, twice over…

[robot]

Yes please bank transfer - stevens-(or you send me £3 if you want to enter the £25 league)?

[brencarr]

I'll have a go this year please - Carr - bank transfer.

Just a question on the rules, I enter 2 different teams and then everything is 'normal' TFF rules i.e. I don't need to satisfy any other criteria/rules? Also - is it the combined score of the 2 teams or just my best one? (I couldn't find the rules)

[SamD]

@ brencarr:
Each team challenges in its own right (no adding of scores).
So manager can start with two different strategies to maintain interest.
A cup competition in second half of season should also help with this.

Potential newbies can review last year's ups and downs here:
