Boards FF Pay League 2015-16

Lemlin

Hi folks

League is back but I'm running it this year so hopefully I do as good a job as mrwillbeback.

Same rules as last year, €20.39 per entry (AIB charge me €0.39 for each incoming bank transfer), pot divided amongst top 5 overall, monthly prize for highest score and top weekly score of the season.

I don't have a Paypal so bank transfer is the only option of payment. I hope that won't put people off.

If interested please PM for league and payment details. I would ask that you include the following with your pm:

Real Name:
Boards Name:
Team id:

Last year the pot was €1800 so there's money there to be made.

mirwillbeback

Good start ! Clear and concise, well done.

Could you not set up PayPal? Pretty easy to do.

Ziegler1988

I don't have a Euro bank account so not sure how to bank transfer from my Barclays GBP one. Alternatively, I can PayPal another forum member €20 to pass along to you Lemlin

Would you have received many paypal payments in previous years? I'm worried the lack of paypal may reduce the pot significantly this year.

@ Lemlin, many thanks for being willing to run the league this year however the lack of paypal could be a PITA for some, especially like ziegler who is not in the sepa zone and would probably have to fork over €10+ just to do an international transfer.

Then there are those not setup for online backing or not able to use it properly who probably don't want the hassle of heading down to a bank. Hopefully this is a minimal grouping though

If you get PayPal set up I'm in, don't have online banking I'm afraid

Edit: setting up after lunch so I'm in

Lads, can you please ensure when sending me the €20.39, that you put your Boards username and real name in the description. I've asked people to do that but someone has already sent me the money and just put "BOARDS PAY LEAGUE".

I've no idea who that money is from.

You can send me £ and I will send on € on your behalf if you like. That way it only costs us half the fee each too!

If there is a big enough push for Paypal, I can set one up. I was trying to avoid same though as I don't use it. I do have a Skillrx account. Is that any use to these people?

I've only heard of Skrillex . PayPal is easiest but I'm fine with sending it indirectly and then receiving the 9 or 10 MOM, highest GW, and 1st place winnings as a bank transfer .

Spock, Ziegler and Jimmii I have received payments from. The others might take a few days - looks like those lads were AIB as well so the transfer was instanteous.

I think I have given most of ye the league code but pm me if I haven't. I now have a set template done to reply to people when they email.

Feel free to continue pming over the weekend but I probably won't reply until Monday as I am keeping a spreadsheet on my work PC. Its the handiest place to keep it.

Bank draft and snail mail will be used there I think.

In and PM sent.

A few suggestions re the prizepool and payouts.

- Personally I would only pay the top 5 if 45 or more enter, otherwise just pay the top 10%. Hopefully that wont be an issue
- I'm not a fan of monthly prize or top weekly score of the season, would rather have them removed. If not though can I suggest a nominal amount (ie €20, cost of entry) and keep as much of the prizepool for the league winners
- If paying top 5, then from whats remaining of the prizepool I'd go 50% 1st, 25% 2nd, 12% 3rd, 8% 4th, 5% 5th

Thanks for running.

Ziegler1988

I think the monthly and highest GW prizes are good to keep people involved until the end. Maybe knock them back a bit like Kev suggested or switch to quarterly prizes since it's not totally fair that a 3 GW month like September pays out the same as a 6 GW December or a month with DGWs

I believe top 5 were payed out last season with 75 entries or so. I'd only bump it past top 5 if more than 100 people entered

The pay top 10% I referenced was only if there was less than 45. Anything over that then just pay the top 5 imo.

Lemlin

I think we'll look at payouts by popular consensus when we know what the actual prize pot is.

Fan of monthly prizes, keeps those not in the running overall interested all season plus if you're up top chances are you'll win a month or 2 as well as finish in the money positions .

FFS lads we need to get some er "fillers" in there to pad up the pool a bit! Top 10k is going to be mid-table the way that league is looking right now! Surely people have some friends who lose interest to by December they can get in!!

It really is pretty ridiculous. When I looked at the records of the people in my Champions Cup group last year I was like ah here wtf why did I join this.

FHFC

It'll fill up closer to the start. Plenty of people haven't looked at FPL yet I'd say. "Normal" I think you call them....

alchemist33

I brought in four marks workmates two seasons ago. They're wiser now.

Cavan man parting with €20?? Are ya coddin me? (as a certain loi legend would say)

I don't think so. I didn't last year and this year I can't see myself taking FF too seriously.

I'm changing jobs in the next few months so I want to get stuck in at the new place. It also involves a 1.5 hour commute as opposed to the ten minute commute I had so I'm going to have less time.

KevIRL

I think you should enter lemlin. Considering the effort in organising and all that I don't feel the entry fee should apply either.

He only agreed to organise it to save himself the price of a stamp, now you want him to get in for free????:pac::P

Hackers

Totally agree with this...rare someone organises a league when not entering themselves in the same league, that's dedication!

Nah, if I enter, I'll pay. I don't mind doing the pay league or the Champions Cup. Will keep me involved in the forum even if I'm not taking much notice of FF and allows me to give something back to it.

It's been a valuable resource over the years.

It's a Champions League style competition with group stages followed by knockout rounds.
