    Its that time of year again, Fantasy Football is back up and running.
    As with previous years I will be running a paid league for those who are interested. Its €10 a head to enter and depending on the numbers interested I will see what way the pot will be split.

    Anyone interested stick your boards name below. The money will have to be sent via paypal or lodged to my account before the league starts, late entries wont be counted.

    Once I have an idea of the numbers I will send around the code for the league.

    Cheers

    Its not a problem, im AIB aswell so it should have gone through today. If you were another bank it would take 3 days like I had said above.

    Paid the cash, got the code, but can't join the league yet. Site is down.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Once you have a team in FF it will still register your score when you get to join the league, I have left it open to entries for a week or two just in case this sort of thing happened.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999

  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell

    You said that the pot would be split ? That's the reason I paid in ! You can't just change it.

    Look at your 1st post.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel

    Indeed, look at the first post.

    Based on the numbers it looks like the split was 100% for the winner, nothing for the rest.

    And besides, Moon won it by a f*cking country mile. Nobody else was within a hundred points. He deserves to take the full thing.

    How is a split 100 per cent to one person ? That's not what a split pot is , do you not grasp that .... It was said depending on the numbers il see what way the pot will be split meaning that the pot will be split either way depending on the numbers !

    If its Not going to be split like said il be having my tenner back , as this is not what I payed into.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Yes I said depending on numbers I will see what way the pot will be split. There wasn't a huge amount of numbers so it didn't get split.

    Last year we had 8 players and the winner took it all. We have 10 this year and the winner still takes it all. so its exactly the same as last year. If we had 12-15 then it would be worth looking at splitting it and the breakdown would have been posted.

    You cant post after the last day demanding your tenner back because you didn't win and using this as your argument. If you were unsure of anything then the time to ask was early on at the start not after its over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    How is a split 100 per cent to one person ? That's not what a split pot is

    Let me stop you right there. Split pot is a poker term. This is not poker.

    "A pot that is shared by two or more players because they have equivalent hands"

    Much like split doesn't literally mean split, hands doesn't literally mean your f*cking hands.

    Split is a way of saying "how will we divide the money". I, and everyone else who entered this competition seems to have grapsed that concept.

    eg:
    "How will we split it?"
    "Winner takes all"
    "Grand"
    If its Not going to be split like said il be having my tenner back , as this is not what I payed into.

    It is exactly what you paid into. The winner took all the first year. And the second year. And guess what? This year too. If you are claiming ignorance or naviety, you've only got yourself to blame.

    I wonder if you would be complaining if you had won? Would you f*ck!

    You should have brought this up at the start of the competition, not at the end when you didn't win.

    in all fairness you could of made an effort to clarify that before the season ended...

    the fact is you said depending on the numbers il see what way the pot will be split indicating that the money will defiantly be split. if not like you are now saying, you should of clarified it earlier not me having to ask!. I am not a mind reader axwell, i can only go by whats said.

    its nothing to do with not winning either, i knew i wasnt going to win ages ago such was the lead and fair play to the winner. its the fact that you said the pot would be split in one way or another only to come out when the season is over to say its winner take all :confused::confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 748 ✭✭✭Yawlboy


    I'm happy for the winner to take all.

    my 2c

  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Like I said before if it was a huge concern or something you were unsure of at the start then you should have asked back then seen as you aren't a mind reader. If it was going to be split a division would have been posted, the numbers didn't merit it being split same as previous years so it wasn't. Not much else to it and dont really have the time to sit here and debate with you over a tenner. Moon won fair and square, winner takes all as before, case closed..

    Its not a debate what was said was said, No huge concern as I genuinely taught the pot would be split like said by yourself.

    If your going to organise something like this it should be done properly, you basically just shafted me of a tenner with bullsh*t, the actual fact is you said you'll decide what way the pot will be split via numbers , you never ever at any stage said its winner take all.

    Am I right ?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    I'm glad its no huge concern I just wonder why you are still moaning about it though if that's the case and claiming you got shafted out of a tenner - but I dont really want to know either to be honest because you are becoming quite petty at this stage. The facts are you ranting and moaning about it wont make a difference - I never at any stage said the split was going to x/y because we didnt have the numbers, this is something you should have asked about early on and not at the end, its winner takes all, same as before and the year before that, that wasnt you...case closed..again...


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    WOOP, champion :D


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,239 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    In fairness lads, the exact split of the prize money should have been posted the minute the total number of entries was confirmed, so that everyone knew what they were playing for.

    The organizers of the league should have posted it and the members should have brought it up way before now, certainly not AFTER the league was finished.

    The facts are you poorly informed everyone and although you never said who's getting what , you still said the pot was going to be split in some shape or form depending on numbers ! You never at all at any stage said its winner take all !

    Not all of us were here last year aswell either would you ever come to terms with that ! And stop making excuses for pulling what turned out to be a fast one wheter you meant it or not.

    case closed? you swear you were in the right here. Next year not that il be in your league but anyway try inform everyone of your taughts before they hand you their money as like I said were not mind readers.

    Thank you futureguy, agree 100 per cent, what's happening now isn't fair at all.

    I never said it wasn't fair. You should have asked way before now if it wasn't clear. When I enter a league, I get confirmation of prize structure the minute we start or I don't enter at all. It's the reason I don't play in this exact league anymore. Either ask the next time the league runs or join a league where the prize breakdown is written in stone.

    However, being a newcomer to the league, I fully understand your grievance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,535 ✭✭✭joe123


    I was under the impression it was a winner takes all thing from the start. Axwell said that if we had enough it might be shared out differently. We only had 8 so I was like fair enough its a winner takes all thing.

    If you were that concerned why didnt you just ask in here at the start of the season?

    Anyways congrats Moon! Im looking forward to next season already :pac:
