One point of clarification. What is the deadline for submitting a Joker? Doesn’t seem unreasonable to me that you can just notify at the time you put in your choices for any given match day.

I quite like the idea of a knock-out cup competition running in parallel while the FA cup is on. It doesn’t involve choosing actual teams since the outcome of any ‘match’ is simply the the points actually scored in the regular match day competition that day by the two players who have been pitted against each other. (Any joker score and bonus points would have to be excluded and we would need to have some deciding factor in the rare event of both contestants having the same number of points that week. Probably a ‘replay’ would work where the scores of the next match day results are used.)
CTM, thanks for your kind words of encouragement on me running the PL. There may well be the odd glitch from myself along the way but, nothing that cannot be amended quickly before anyone goes into a meltdown . I managed it okay last season.

Regarding the Joker, this can be submitted on any given match day, barring the FA Cup comp, which I will come to shortly. It would be best if it is highlighted either in bold or put in CAPITALS at the top of an entry so it can be easily recognised.

FA Cup competition - Great idea from clarkey1974 and I'll definitely run it as explained by both clarkey and yourself. I am in total agreement on your points of: ''Any joker score and bonus points would have to be excluded and we would need to have some deciding factor in the rare event of both contestants having the same number of points that week. Probably a ‘replay’ would work where the scores of the next match day results are used''. Shouldn't be too difficult so long as we have sufficient entrants to see it to the end

I will probably give it another day or two before I put out the rules and regs for the forthcoming season, just in case anyone else has any further suggestions on everything. Cheers.
