    Post Last Man Standing

    I'm back once again with some top tier forum contribution.

    Who wants to play? I presume most know the rules but:

    - You start with 3 lives.
    - You pick a team every week and if they lose or draw, you lose a life.
    - If you don't pick a team, you also lose a life.
    - Correction: if someone fails to pick in time they get they highest league positioned team they have yet to pick by default.
    - You can only pick a team once.
    - If you've chosen all 20 teams (ie played 20 rounds and still have lives) your teams reset.
    - Will be limited to Premier League fixtures every week.
    - £5 entry (or £10?)
    - Last man standing takes all the money.
    - If we all reach 0 before there is a last man standing, nobody wins and there is a rollover.
    - In the event of a rollover, everyone must pay the entry fee again and it gets added to the pot.
    - In the event of a rollover, newcomers may join. However, people cannot join once a game has progressed beyond round 1.

    I'll be creating a spreadsheet to do all the calculations for me, so that combined with collecting money (and starting a new job), it's unlikely this will be ready for this weekend or the midweek ones after that. I'll try and set it up for the games on Saturday 22nd October, which will give us 4 rounds before the World Cup starts. Or happy to start after the world cup (first round would be boxing day) if people prefer.

    Reply if you want to play, whether you want £5 or £10, and whether it should start 22/10 or 26/12.

    We're trusting you with the money? That didn't work out too well last time.

    I'll be in for whatever entry fee maximises my winnings but ideally with Mahow banned for that post (on top of his other shite).

    I'm in but I believe that the rules are actually if someone fails to pick in time they get they highest league positioned team they have yet to pick by default, Barrington.

    What happens if we get to the end of the season and no one has won? Rollover to next season?

    Why not just split the money to whoever goes out in the last round if there's like 3 left and they all go out in the same week?

    Personally I think it should start on the week the fixtures reset (so after the 19th game of the year)

    Is there built in validation to flag someone selecting the same team twice?

    Lost almost 50% of the group with everyone but me and Waff choosing big teams. Fingers crossed for a Mitro masterclass.
