I'm one of the unpaid players as am waiting on card reader from bank to transfer funds to Lemlin. But I do have PayPal so if someone wants to pm me they can forward on the 20e on my behalf. If not Il omit from league if I can't get funds transferred directly by tomorrow evening

I may be in a similar situation, happy to transfer to PayPal but having some online banking problems. May have to drop out, unsure my boss will think it a good enough excuse to take a long lunch tomorrow, which has been the issue from the start really I'll know for sure tomorrow though.

Lads i've pm'ed you paypal details. As per my earlier post, anyone having banking problems can paypal me and i'll transfer to Lemlin.

Just tell him its for FSA FPL he'll surely understand!

A few pms coming in now. Looks like a few are having trouble with code readers and were putting off entering. I really think that we need the paypal option for next year to avoid this. Happy to take paypal payments over the next 24 hours for anyone that can't do a bank transfer for whatever reason.

SlickRic

I'll get to a bank tomorrow.

Sorry if the delay has annoyed people. I understand it's difficult to trust strangers on the Internet, but it's not due to looking for an advantage. Real life got in the way at the wrong time and I couldn't get to a bank whenever I managed to think of it.

Well I can either set one up or someone like yourself takes the PayPal payments and sends then to me when all are collated at the end.

That would work too. Main thing would be just to have a paypal address to communicate as an alternative. If you want someone else to help with that, fair enough.

I can help with the paypal payments for now.

€2000 Total.

My own feeling is that someone winning a monthly prize should at least get a profit on what they put in. It's not much of an incentive to just win back your entry amount. €30 I'd see as the minimum monthly amount. €10 profit for someone for a couple of pints!

10 x €30 Monthly Prizes = €300

Leaves €1700 (exact figure still to be confirmed) for other prizes.

The €1700 could then be split:

First - 45% - €765
Second - 25% - €425
Third - 15% - €255
4th - 10% - €170
5th - 5% - €85

If the total isn't €2000, I can just still keep to the percentages above. I know the figures are odd but the percentages is a nice way of splitting it out and allows me to do same whatever figure we have when everyone has paid.

This prize structure looks good to me.

I agree minimum of €30 for the monthly prizes. 40 would be no harm but 30 is fine.

€35 for a monthly prize maybe?

remaining €1650 could then be divvied as follows:

First - €750
Second - €400
Third - €250
Fourth - €150
Fifth - €100

Personally i feel 1st place should be getting more than 350e over what 2nd place gets. No need to give prizes for 4th or 5th (or even 3rd really).

I don't get the idea of monthly prizes but i'm not knocking it. I think a bonus for top on christmas day would be nice.

Either way it's Lemlins baby so i'm easy.

It's the community's baby. This isn't a dictatorship! I'm just holding the cash. Will distribute it whatever way people see fit.

I do think monthly prizes are good though. They give a chance to someone who is out of the running for the main prize.

Top 2 or 3 payout out of 100 players is a bit cruel, you can finish top 5% and not get anything. I'd vote money back for monthly prizes but am perfectly happy with the structure Lemlin posted above

Lemlin

Prizes are locked in. If we go over the 2k, I say we just add any additional 20s onto the winner's prize fund.

10 x €30 for the month
1st €850
2nd €500
3rd €200
4th €100
5th €50

Scorpion Sting

I'd like to see:

10 x €40 monthly prizes - €400

1st - €800
2nd - €400
3rd - €220
4th - €110
5th - €70


First place should be well rewarded and I think that the monthly prizes should be €40 each instead of your €20 back.

What do people think? Would like to try and get this firmed up today because I'm off work and off to Mallorca after the weekend to spend all your money!!

Looks good to me.

I disagree.
Finishing 4th or 5th out of 100 deserves some reward.

That's my favourite that I've seen so far, the only thing that's nagging me now is the thought that if we reduced the monthly to 20 we could easily get a clean 1 thousand to the winner, now that would be a competition worth winning.:P

I think the top five should get something at least. There is like 100 teams after all. Certainly top 3 anyway whatever about top 5. And imo money back for monthly winners is the best option

I still prefer to go just €20 monthly but for €30 this looks good.
