Q1) Any idea whether my Animals would have won the £500 on offer for the Superleague prize - had it been on offer last season ? ie. do you need a league with at least 5 different managers not just 5 different teams
Q2) If "The Animals" aren't admissible to win would my teams be welcome in the FISO league ?
As I understand it, Mini/Super League prizes go directly to the relevant Chairperson. It is then up to that person to distribute the prizes.
Some competitions, e.g. YTM, specify that mini leagues only qualify for prizes if the relevant number of teams (i.e. Top 5) are managed by more than 1-3 people. This does not appear to be the case in TFFO, probably because (with the odd exception to date) it is not targetted by mass entrants.
Therefore, I believe that, if the Animals were to finish in the first 5 places of a winning FISO Super League, Oddsman would be entitled to the lot.
In general - my long-held belief is that, while the number of teams any single manager can enter in a SL should not be restricted, the calculations (and therefore prizes) should only include the best entry from any one individual.
However, I do appreciate that is a rather utopian view of the commercial realities of FF and - with the notable exception of CYKI (a single entrant game, anyway) - most FF providers are quite happy that ML/SL prizes are purely an extension of the individual prizes.
and wont be this season.
