Depending on demand may well split the league into 2 separate 'conferences' - the fixtures will still be randomly assigned (against all others) - with some sort of SuperTipster Bowl at the end..(with a consolation event for those who don't qualify) - will think about it - or you can let me know what you think!

Good idea Dan, like the conference idea (north/South?) or failing that perhaps last year entrants in a premier and the newcomers in a championship, with promotion and relegation or am I now sounding too serious? Laughing

Not sure about relegation! Maybe Red teams and Blue teams.. or something like that (with some added rivalry spice) - perhaps!

Anyway I'll draft something when numbers are clearer - see what people think.

How about:

NPL (Northern Premier League)
V`s
SPL (Southern Premier League)

Also to spice it up a bit why not have a prize, as this is a programme forum why dont all entrances send say 5 programmes (1960`s or similar, or whatever we agree on) to Toffee Dan (via recorded delivery), and the winner could scoop the lot (Toffee Dan wouldnt need to add any programmes as he will be posting them to the winner)
Just an idea,
What do you think?

I will be closing this to new entrants for the time being.. We are now up to 30 players - I expect a further 3-4 returnees

All new applications will be placed on the reserve list

The format will be an all-play-all competition in 2 conferences of approximately 15-16 players - lasting circa 30-31 weeks. After the requisite number of rounds the top 4 from each conference will go forward into the final weeks for the 'title' (all play all) and the remainder will play-off for the consolation event (no carry forward in either event) - so there will be Conference winners and then Title Winners (Main and Consolation events). The Title of Tipster of the Year will be awarded to the Winner of the Main Play-Off.

The draw for the 2 conferences will be random.

UPDATE:

I have now closed entries for the competition (with the exception stated below)

The Two Groups of 16 have been randomly drawn as follows - with 11 returning players and 5 newcomers in each group of 16:

Group A (Name: ?)
atletico
Barrett
Bremner4
cook
coolascustard
DiamondMatt
Flackwell Lad
Garry
Geddon
mdjw_41
NICKTHERED
saint clarkie
surfinjim
thewednesday
WileBrownAstle
Wulfrunian

Group B (Name ?)

ashburton-grove
burnley_collector
Craig
efcbluenose
gkb
JJProgrammes
jonnyp
kcs
kenners46
Pastpirate
robbo
RockyBoro
Ruud Van Driver
Sharrowblade
speedykev
STEEL-CITY_SMOGGY

You will see that there are 16 in each group. The intention is for all players to play each other once (31 rounds) with the top 4 in each group to progress to the final round (the remainder playing in a Consolation Event) - both lasting 7 rounds.

The exception to the closed entries being:
a) If Jambokev returns he will be offered a place (and I will make up the numbers to an even total avoiding anyone sitting out
b) There will be a reserve list in case people drop out - with the proviso that the fixtures will need to be amended to reflect changes.

I will post the opening head-to-head fixtures very soon.

Good luck
