Ok, everyone seems up for this which is great and here's all the rules etc.
You pick one team every WEEKEND, I'm not gonna include the midweek games cos it doesn't give people enough time to sort their selections out and could get a bit confusing.
If your team wins you are through to the next week if they draw or lose then you are OUT.
You may only pick each team ONCE throughout the game so can't do Man U every week so it's important to plan a few weeks ahead.
All selections are to be posted on here and before each set of fixtures I'll put a list up of who has picked who so you can cheer when people you don't like are going out.
If you fail to post your selection by kick off time of the first game on the Saturday then you will be assigned the first team in alphabetical order who you haven't picked previously regardless of who they are playing so if you're stuck with Birmingham away to Man U or something then you only have yourself to blame.
the cost is $20 per entry (you can enter as many times as you want) This should be sent to JazzyFek3000 on pokerstarz. If anyone cannot do poker starz let me know and I will sort out an** account with someone.
The prize money will be awarded to the last man standing, however if we get down to the final 2 or 3 they have the option to split it but obviously needs to be a unanimous decision. If we're down to the last few and they choose not to split and all pick a loser then they are all still alive til we have a winner, once you're out there is no way back in.
Here are the first 5 weeks of fixtures
Week 1

Aston Villa v West Ham, 13:30 Bolton v Arsenal, 16:00
To be honest, we probably won't have a huge amount of entries so I would be surprised if we have more than 2 people left in it come week 5, we had over 100 people at work playing and it only lasted 4 weeks but Man City did let everyone down a few times.
I'll put more fixtures up though if requested but you all know where you can see the fixture lists.
So, send me the $20 on pokerstarz to JazzyFek3000 (Wirral) and then send me your pick for week 1 and your starz name so I can confirm your entry.
All entries must be received in full by 12:45 on Saturday 12th December if I have your money but no team selected then you get Arsenal week one.
Good luck everyone, my first round pick is TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS
Would anyone object if we got the next one up and running now, just because we have a week and half before the first set of fixtures for it so gives us plenty of time to collect monies and selections

im against chopping tbf, we have played this long so its not really worth it to chop for 65dollars each when we bought in for 20 imo, the winner will be far happier with $260

Just tank and Fundamentalist left - in the interests of fairness (if you decide to continue) you should now email or msn your selections to Jazzy (Jonstitcher@hot mail.com) Jazzy will post the selections up sometime before kick offs that weekend and after that point there will be no changing your choices.
Good luck guys
