pm sent already

oh a head-to-head too. interesting....

Great to see it back, hope I can sneak another lucky month like last year

i'll be back to try and defend my title this season!!

I wish to join the FISO X League.
I am 18 or over and have read and agree to abide by the FISO X League terms and conditions.
If accepted I will make a payment into the fund via PayPal by August 12th.

Have sent a PM. Not a huge amount of interest though. Is there a minimum we need to make it worthwhile?

Thats what is putting me off? Any clarity on potential numbers?

I have PM'ed as well. Awaiting acceptance.

To be fair, I PM'd my intention to join last week at some point, and only just realised I hadn't posted on the thread. So maybe others have done the same.

WHATEVER has stated he will let everyone know on August 7th.

Last year there was 28 entrants. I would hope with a few new players and most of the usual players returning we could get close to 40 entrants? Quite a few of the players don't post on the thread until nearer the start of the season, but I would reckon that there has been many more pm's to WHATEVER than posts on this thread!!

Hopefully you are right Mintman. I personally am finding it a real bind sorting my teams out this season - in fact I have only really got my Sky team settled. I am not looking forward to the late Friday night's again agonising over my teams, especially now I have joined a golf club, so Saturday mornings will see me hacking around the course rather than waiting for last minute team news

Heh heh!! don't worry Jonathan, I haven't sorted ANY of my teams yet for any game!! Pretty much all of mine are the lucky dip or random entry. In fact some of my team names are too!!! I might try and get round to it soon!!!

sent my application, just out of interest why would anyone be rejected?? surely the more the merrier and as long as u get the tenner its happy days??

Have a look at my post - Whatever likes participants to agree to the terms and conditions. (Which only one of us has followed so far if you read his posts )

I wish to join the FISO X League.
I am 18 or over and have read and agree to abide by the FISO X League terms and conditions. If accepted I will make a payment into the fund via PayPal by August 12th.

Done both both on here and PM, that has the bases covered.

You reading my PMs then BFM? His instructions are to quote:

In a PM

Bah

How many people have applied to join so far??

I'm in, pm'd a while back. I'm sure loads are in as it is pm entry. If anyone wants a higher entry comp (or side bet) I'm happy to run it, but only in addition to entering this, I would not want to take any people away from Whatever who does a fine job.

i sent a pm yesterday but its still sitting in my outbox, anybody know why??

Its still in your outbox because it hasn't been read yet.


I presume Whatever has set aside this afternoon to deal with all the applications etc.

ahh okay i didnt know they sat there until read, my bad!

All applicants should now have received a PM. Let me know if you have not.

23 applications have been accepted.

23. I like it!

Whatever - if I find someone on fpl who I can transfer £10 to and they can then pay via PayPal is that acceptable?
