JOHN MORRISON ELITE LEAGUE 2017-18
The John Morrison Elite League is back for its 10th season.
After years of sterling effort, Jeff has retired and I’ve been entrusted to keep up the good work.
I’m sure I’ll lose hours to running this so the least you can all do is enter! Let’s get a record entry this season.
My first executive decision is that we are going to have a trophy from now on that the winner will hold for a year. This season’s winner will receive the John Morrison Elite League trophy with their name engraved alongside the previous nine winners.
Excited yet? Without further ado, let me unveil this season’s game.
Structure
- £10 to enter.
- This is a mini-league competition which is entered officially via the Sun Dream Team website.
- Each member of the league enters a single team into the mini-league.
- This sign up thread is in the main forum to garner interest. Once we’re up and running, updates will be in the mini-league sub-forum.
- The game will be run by me with prize money held by the moderator Zimmerman. You should nonetheless familiarise yourself with the standard disclaimer.
- All entrants must be FISO users who have made at least 10 posts as of today. You must be 18 years old.
Format
For your £10 entry fee, you’ll get entry into:
- The John Morrison Elite League with prizes for 1st, 2nd and the winner of the 3rd-6th place play-off which will be decided on a mini-game for the real-life Champions League final.
- The League Cup, which will run over two legs in the first half of the season, with prizes for 1st and 2nd. Restricted to the first 128 entrants to the Elite League.
- The FA Cup, which will be a straight knockout in the second half of the season, with prizes for 1st and 2nd. Restricted to the first 128 entrants to the Elite League.
- The Golden Boot, which will run for the whole of the season, with the highest weekly score each week earning that manager a ‘goal’, with prizes for 1st and 2nd.
Elite League entry also gains you entry to some other generously sponsored and run competitions:
- Grand National £75 of prizes thanks to Zimmerman, jeffmcgow and Edmondson
- Elite Doubles £100 of prizes thanks to mad dog and leethomas
- Dream Team 20/20 £100 of prizes thanks to Blademan
- Overall Side Game £100 of prizes thanks to ronny10
- Pick and Stick £100 of prizes thanks to leethomas, MADCHESTER UTD and gutshot
- Elite Five-a-side Pride and possible avatars at stake thanks to mad dog
- Out of the blocks - £100 prize thanks to Backlash
- CHEAP AS CHIPS! - £75 of prizes thanks to MADCHESTER UTD and littlefeller
Sponsorship
The John Morrison Elite League has benefitted from some incredible generosity over the years. Already £460 has been pledged on top of £650 for the other side games:
- leethomas £200 - paid
- ronny10 £50 - paid
- gutshot £50 - paid
- Blademan £50 - paid
- MADCHESTER UTD £50 - paid
- llama £25 - paid
- MARTYNWOOD £25 - paid
- tf7 - £10 - paid
The first £100 has been held back to cover the costs of the trophy, engraving and couriering (I’ll cover anything above that). Every remaining pound will be channelled into the prizes for the cup competitions so we could be looking at some really nice prizes for those. Sponsorship may be allocated proportionally or to the cup of the sponsor's choice.
Sponsorship can be added at any point during the season. Sponsorship of any size is very welcome, it all adds up and can be done anonymously too.
Prize Money
We have £1,180 in entries along with £360 of sponsorship payable as prize money for this year's Elite League and attached side comps. It is all being held by Zimmerman and will be distributed as follows:
John Morrison Elite League
- 1st = 50% of entries = £590
- 2nd = 25% of entries = £295
- Winner of 3rd-6th place play off = 10% of entries = £118

- 2nd = 2% of entries = £24
Golden Boot

- 2nd = 2% of entries = £24

In all seriousness, this must be the hardest comp to win bar the main one, we all can say we chose the wrong team for the elite, but we all always choose the team we fancy the most from the off to enter into this. Gonna give it my all to get that trophy
