6. Entry to the Champions Race is made by a donation of £5 or more. The same email address must be used for all four events in order for the scores to be accumulated. The deadline for entries to the Champions Race is at 16.00BST on Monday 29 August.

Thats for the holiday to Portugal plus other prizes right? So you can see if you get a good start (up until August) and then decide if it warrants the £5?

Is that £5 per tournament?

[BOLTONBOY]

I'm in again.'Dan Maskell's whistling teeth'.

[Chuck Taylor]

The way I read it is each slam is free and you could win the prize for each slam (night for 2 in a hotel I think), the £5 is for the whole tour but you have until August whether to donate or not (to be eligible for the prize), by then you'll know whether you're in with a shout or not, if I'm wrong I'm sure Sam can correct me.

Is Two Left Feet not returning?

Well the plan was looking at the sky fantasy team today, then looking to sort out my fpl wildcard team tomorrow evening and then enter this on Friday/Saturday when the draws/qualifiers are known.

However, once I noticed the need to bolster numbers, I jumped out of the way to enter my draft teams

Good for one set entered

Best of luck everyone

Every time I put a team in I feel confident. By the end of round 1 I am rooted to the bottom and that's where I stay.
