2020-21 Telegraph FF competitions, including side-games

[SamD]

Every TFF organiser/chair is invited to post a summary of his/her 2020-21 competition in this thread.

Ideally, use this skeleton example:

Format - basic details of game
Fee/Prizes - free or £nn; if latter, how funds split
Deadline - dd mmm
Last year's results (optional) - xxx

Info on each contest will be added to opening post.

Have also contacted Vid. If time allows, someone will incorporate TFF (side-)games into a wider thread covering contests from other providers/newspapers and individuals, similar to 'FISO Super/Mini Leagues & Side Games 18/19 onwards':

Cheers Sam, may as well start with the best league on FISO-
* Highlander *
Highlander IV - Survivors Of Covid
Highlander League (with added zombie reanimations) thread link

THE BIG SELL - 4th running of what is fast becoming several people's favourite sidegame on FISO.

Based on the Highlander film (the decent first one with Christopher Lambert and James Bond in it - not the rubbish sequels), we kill off the lowest scoring team every week or two until there is a single winner left in May, after all "there can be only one". Last year we added zombie reanimations every few weeks so the culled had a chance to rejoin the game. Should be much the same this year with cull/reanimation schedules dependent on numbers.

DEADLINE - If you want immunity from the first cull (probably week 2) you need to be entered before the first kick off.

MONEY? - ALL FREE, no prizes but much kudos

League Code /PIN type thing: YWK3GP48 (please announce yourself on the Highlander thread)

[murf]

Also possible spaces in the FISO Block League - viewtopic.php?p=3441946#p3441946. Play whole season with a block defence from a certain team

Newcomers welcome in Championship of the Eggcup - viewtopic.php?f=59&t=132427. Play season starting with a common team to everyone else then free to do what you like but all out in public.

Main FISO league. All welcome. Used to regularly win the 'league of leagues' when there was a prize. Now just for fun but good to get as many teams as poss so FISO still wins the 'league of leagues' and gets our name out there to newbies, viewtopic.php?f=136&t=132668

(I'll add more details on here later but see the threads for more info. All free, no cash prizes)

I'll also recommend some that others can plug - the £25, £10 and 2-foot (£22) leagues plus theo's I Gotta Horse

[theo29]

I GOTTA HORSE aka La Dolce Vita (1K9AQL85) now in its 6th year, I think the only league where the chairman actually gives money away !
Max 2 teams per player. Each weekly winner stables a horse for the 2021 Grand National worth £5.On race day 10th April 2021 there is a 6 prize sweepstake with a £200 pot, entirely free of charge. Patronised by several prominent FISOers, what's not to like ?

[Hogmeister]

Now in it's 12th year, the ultimate test of fantasy skill...

The FISO TFF/FPL Combo League
viewtopic.php?f=130&t=132655&p=3442040#p3442040

Really simple, no extra effort required... just lob one of your TFF teams into the TFF combo league, and lob your FPL team into the FPL Combo League and, as if by magic, the thread will combine your scores and will track your progress through the season.

Free to play, no prizes other than the potential glory of getting your name onto the Hall of Fame Board, although...

...in previous years there has been an (optional) cash league run in parallel with the overall competition, this will be set up again this year if there is sufficient interest.

Deadline for entry is 11:00 on Saturday 12th September.

[SamD]

Season 12 of Two-Foot Challenge kicks off at the weekend.

Game Summary
- each manager submits two teams by Friday 11 Sept
- idea is that using different strategies can help sustain interest through the year
- super league entry costs two elevens, £22 in total
- fee fund in 2019-20 was £660
- prizes were awarded to league's top four and both cup finalists
- details are in 2020-21 thread: viewtopic.php?f=136&t=132581

[Jester]

The FISO £10 Cash League is running again - click HERE for details.

The format is straightforward - £10 to enter, all cash goes towards prize money.
Recent seasons have seen pay-outs for the top three places plus the Cup winner - signs are that this season will follow the same pattern.

All FISOers are welcome to join - it would be great to have more of you aboard!

Last year's results




I know it's a tad late with just a few hours to go but if anyone would like to get into another money league on TFF I have run mine for 15+ seasons and this year am trying a final push to hit 40+ teams so I can double the weekly prize of £10 to £20.

Full info is publicly available on this forum:

https://forum.thefanpub.com/t/tff-2020- ... luelionman

(28 teams so far hoping for 40+ by kick off - multiple teams are allowed - I've gone nuts and put 4 in myself - I did 3 last year and came out down - but t'was fun)

[murf]

I think most superleagues mentioned above have closed their doors but...

The main FISO League can still be entered at any time. All teams from all FISOers welcome/wanted.

My Highlander League is still open for late entries until Saturday lunchtime only (12:30 kick off/deadline). Lowest score kicked out each week (that's the simple version - there are complications). Can you survive til May? One team allowed per FISOer but hurry up!
