Below are the full Terms and Conditions of the FISO X League. By applying to join the League you are confirming that you have read and agree to abide by these Terms and Conditions (T&Cs).

THE FISO FPL X League

Game Rules:
The FISO X League will abide by the Game Rules of Fantasy Premier League 2011/2012. Please read these rules carefully before applying to enter the FISO X League.


Terms & Conditions
By registering to participate in the FISO X League ("the League") governed by these terms and conditions and the Game Rules (as defined above) ("the Game") you hereby agree to be bound by and to abide by the following terms and conditions:

1) Entry into the Game is open to both UK and non-UK members of FISO ("the Site"), aged 18 years or over, who have made 40+ posts on any FISO Forum deemed by The FISO X League Organiser to be in concordance with the past ethos of this site. No correspondence in this matter will be entered into. The deadline for these 40+ posts is August 6th. The organiser reserves the right to refuse entry to any applicant who is deemed to have reached the 40 post requirement by the deadline solely by the method of ‘power-posting’. The Organiser's decision in this matter is final.

2) All applications to participate in the Game must be made to WHATEVER (The Organiser) by personal message and acceptance remains at the organiser's total discretion. No correspondence in this matter will be entered into. The Organiser's decision in this matter is final. No applications to enter made in any other manner will be accepted. Where his application is accepted any applicant thus entitled to participate in the Game shall be a Player.
There will be a closing date for Applications. All Applications must be received by The Organiser by personal message on or prior to August 6th. Notification of acceptance of rejection will be sent by personal message on August 7th. Upon acceptance all Players will be provided with X League code and the Organiser's Payment Details via personal message.

3) Upon notification of acceptance into the FISO X League payment of a £10 (GBP) must be made to WHATEVER by August 12th. Payment details will be sent with your Notification of Acceptance. Players will be responsible for their own administration costs (see 9, below) including currency charges and the Organiser's PayPal charges in regard to their own personal Fund.

4) Entries must not be submitted by agents or third parties. No responsibility can be accepted for lost, delayed or incomplete entries or entries not received by the FISO X League for any reason. Any such entries will be deemed void (concerning which the decision of The Organiser shall be final).

5) While there is no limit on the number of entries per household or organisation only one entry in respect of the FISO X League per unique registered user of the Site is permitted (concerning which the decision of The Organiser shall be final).

6) The Game will be governed by the Game Rules from time to time published on the FPL Site by The Premier League. The Premier League reserves the right to alter, amend or supplement the Game Rules from time to time as it sees fit in its absolute discretion in the event of any circumstances beyond its control arising or where it considers it desirable to do so and you hereby agree that no liability shall attach to the FISO X League Organiser as a result of any such amendment. You are advised to check the FPL Game Rules regularly from time to time. The FPL Game Rules form part of these terms and conditions.

7) Reminder: By applying to join the FISO X League you agree to accept all the terms and conditions herein. This league's administration structure is based on friendship and trust. If you not trust WHATEVER do not apply to join this league.
WHATEVER, the organiser will only be in the X League for administration purposes. He will not be a Player in the X League. He will hold the Fund and pay the Prizes from that Fund. By sending The Treasurer your fund to hold in your name you accept that sole responsibility for that fund remains with you.

8) Reminder: There will be a closing date for payment into the Fund. All payment must be received by WHATEVER on or prior to August 12th. Any expense incurred in the return of voided late payments will be met by the Applicant in question.

9) Payment into the Fund may be made to the Organiser by PayPal (GBP) only. Players will be responsible for any currency conversion charges they incur both in payment into the Fund and in receipt of any Prizes. Players paying by PayPal must pay their own fees (where applicable) by selecting the relevant option when making the payment from PayPal's website.

10) Upon receipt of the FISO X League code from the Organiser, Players must join the league prior to the GW1 deadline. Failure to do so will be considered a breach of these T&Cs (see 13, below). The league code must not be divulged to any third party without the written consent of the Organiser. Doing so will be considered a violation of these terms and conditions (see 13, below).

11) The prizes awarded in respect of the Game ("Prizes") will be at the discretion of The Organiser from time to time and The Organiser reserves the right to alter and amend the Prizes where circumstances beyond their control require them to do so. Subject to such amendment however:
The first Prize ("Winner's Prize") will be awarded to the player who according to The Premier League's determination is at the top of the FISO X League leader board published by The Premier League from time to time at the end of the 2010/2011 season. Similarly the second prize, third prize and monthly prizes will be determined by The Premier League's rules, including tie breaks. The exact structure of prizes is detailed above. Players agree to accept the decision of the organiser in this regard. In determining the prize structure, the organiser will ensure 100% of the Fund collected is distributed as prizes.

The X League Head to Head will be set up after the gameweek 3 deadline. All players will be PMed the league code. The X League Head to Head will be a straight league format with no knock out stage. The winner, as determined by Fan The Premier League's rules, will be award the prize. If you fail to enter the Head to Head League by the gameweek 4 deadline then you will not be elligable to win this prize.

12) Any breach by any Player of the Game Rules shall be a breach of these terms and conditions (see 13, below).

13) In the event of any breach by any applicant and/or any Player of these terms and conditions The Organiser reserves the right to refuse entry to the relevant applicant and/or disqualify the player in question from any further participation in the FISO X League and any such decision by The Organiser shall be final. Any applicant so refused and/or Player so disqualified shall not be eligible to participate in the FISO X League under any other identity or team name. Any funds received by the Treasurer from disqualified Players are non-refundable and forfeit, and shall remain as part of the prize Fund.

14) Multi-Teaming: Any attempt by any Player to register more than one team will result in the expulsion from the FISO X League of all teams submitted by that Player and the forfeiture of any and all entry funds.
Note: Players are restricted to one team per unique FISO user. Entering a team under a second FISO username is not allowed and will be considered a breach of the Terms and Conditions to be dealt with in the same manner as Multi-Teaming.

15) Winners will be notified of their success by personal message. All prize winners shall be notified within 28 days of the conclusion of the relevant event at which time they must confirm their contact details prior to the prize in question being delivered. Prizes will be paid by personal cheque, PayPal, postal order or any other method agreed to between prize winners and the organiser. Prize winners will be liable for any costs incurred in payment of prizes, such as PayPal or postal order fees, or postage costs.

16) The Organiser shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever which is suffered by any person (including but not limited to indirect or consequential loss) as a result of or in connection with or arising out of the FISO X League and/or the application of the Game Rules or these Terms and Conditions or as a result of or in connection with or arising out of any Prize or the use of the same or any personal injury suffered or sustained as a result of or in connection with or arising out of any Prize or the use of the same except for any liability which cannot be excluded by law.

17) The Organiser reserves the right to amend the T&Cs from time to time in the event of any circumstances beyond their control arising or where they consider it desirable to do so for the benefit of the League.

18) These terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and the parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales.

Changes for this season.

A head to head league has been added which will start in gameweek 4.

The 'Panel' has been disbanded. It has never been used anyway. In the very unlikely event of a dispute you will have to take it up with me.

The application process has been streamlined. I will handle all the applications in one go on August 7th. Accepted applicants will recieve the payment instructions and the league code on August 7th by PM. Please make sure your application is in the format specified above.

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

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.

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 :?

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.
