We're BACK!! 💥💥

⚽ finally returns with the first Premier League match next Friday (16th August) as Man United take on Fulham. Which means...

A brand new "Last Man Standing" will kick off with first selections on Friday 16th August 2024. 🏆

We will also be running a "Consolation Competition" for those knocked out of the main comp. 🥈

All rules will remain the same so any newcomers should give those a read in the meantime.📜

• The prize for winning the LMS Competition will be £250 which will be deposited into your PayPal account. 
• The prize for winning the Consolation Competition will be £50. 
• Note that all cash prizes will ONLY be paid out via PayPal. Make sure you have a PayPal account set up to receive payments.

The season starts on a Friday, but the deadline will be Saturday 17th August 2024.
If you want to choose a team for Friday, your deadline will, of course, be Friday.

The Competition includes the use of a 'Joker' which means you can choose Win or Draw on a certain week if you are struggling for a definite selection. This can only be used once. You also get the use of a Lifeline on One week if you forget or are unable to post.

The competition rules in detail are as follows:

• Each week you must pick a Premier League team to win their game. 
• If your team wins you go forward to the following week. 
• If your team loses you are eligible to play in the Consolation competition the following week. 
• All selections must be posted by 3 pm on Saturday or before KO time if you choose an earlier game.
• You must not select the same team twice throughout the competition.
• If you fail to post for any reason you will be allowed ONE lifeline and you will be given the highest-ranked team in the league table that you have not already chosen previously. 
• If you fail to post a second time you will be eliminated from the competition.
• During the competition, you will be allowed to play ONE Joker, which means on that particular week you will be able to select the Draw as well as your chosen team to win. 
• Once a selection is chosen it can not be changed and no editing of posts is allowed.
• In the event of any match being postponed or abandoned (after you made your selection), you will go through to the next round but that team can not be chosen again. If the team was chosen after the game was postponed a lifeline team will be used instead.
• If less than 6 players remain in the comp and they all get eliminated in the same week the prize will be split evenly.
• If 6 players or more remain in the comp and they all get eliminated in the same week then all players will go through to the following week.
• Each competition will run for a maximum of 10 weeks, any prizes will be shared at that point between the remaining players.
• In the last competition of the season all players still standing on the final day will share the prizes in both competitions.
• PayPal is the only way you can receive prizes. Please make sure you have one set up

Consolation Competition extra rules:

• If you are eliminated from the main competition you are eligible to join the Consolation comp the following week.
• In the Consolation comp, you can not pick any of the teams you selected in the main LMS comp.
• No Jokers or Lifelines are available in the Consolation competition, if you fail to post on any week you will be eliminated.
• The consolation comp will continue until all players have been eliminated from the main competition. (except the winner)
• No limit to the number of weeks the consolation competition can run.
• A separate thread will be posted for the Consolation competition.
