Premier League 2008/09 Buster Competition.

_blank_

What is this?

A Buster is a competition on which you can win some money.

How does it work?

Each week there are a number of games in the Premier League, involving each team.

You get to pick a team each week, a team you think will win.

If that team does win, you stay in the Buster and get to pick a team the next week, if they lose or draw, you are out.

What's the catch?

You can only pick a team once. So, you can't keep on picking Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Some week you'll probably have to pick Middlesborough, but with a bit of luck it'll be the weekend they are playing Stoke.

What if everyone gets out at the same time?

If there is a gameweek in which every remaining competitor is put out, then the same competitors roll on to the next week. The people who got out in previous rounds do not get an extra life.

How do I sign up for this?

Myself and Tusky ran the Euro 2008 Boards.ie Sweepsteak, everyone who wanted in on that sent their money to the account which I use for the Boards.ie Football Team, so I'll do the same again this time round.

Once we have a winner, I'll transfer the winnings on to you.

How much does it cost?

We'll say a tenner (€10) for the first time.

Are numbers limited?

Nope, in fact the more the better, it makes for a bigger prize fund.

Sounds good, what do I do?

Post here and express your interest, and then I'll PM you with the bank transfer details, so you can get the money sent.

Please, put either your own name, or your user name, on the transfer slip, so I can keep a record of who has paid.

Do not post here saying "Oh, I sent money, but I forgot to put my name on the transfer", lads, we all can use a computer, so it's not that hard.

I'll keep a running record of who is left in, and post regular updates in this thread. It will run once, and if successful, I'll run it until the end of the season.

I'll probably need someone to help me run this thing, a there could be times when I'm away. I'll look after all financial sides of it, just someone else to keep an eye on things, if I can't.

So, any interest?

Not necessarily, no.

Like, I'd kind of expect everyone to pick the "Big 6" in the first few weeks. If one of them loses, bang, all them people are gone.

So, it could run for only three weeks, and nobody would have had to pick Stoke.

Of course, if it got to the stage where Stoke was an option, and everyone ended up picking them, then everyone would be out together...

I've never known one of these competitions to get near anything like 16/17/18 weeks though.

Can Paypal transfer to a bank account?

If not, then I'm afraid not, I don't want to have money to deal with coming from different sources. I'd prefer to have the money going to a single acocunt, so I can keep track. Easier for me to keep track of that way.

I just don't want there to be people screaming at me "I paid this way, I paid that way, where's my money gone" etc etc. So sorry if it's inconvenient, but this is the only way I can accept money.

Some people, for the Euro 2008 thing, got others to pay for them.

UnitedIrishman

Yeah I'd be up for that. Count me in.

To be honest des i'm not sure. I don't personally have a credit card but i do trade on ebay etc.. and use the brothers details but it's always through paypal so i'm just used to working that way. Anyway i can check with himself hopefully he'll get me in there.

My brother did something like this last year with some friends....should we not get an extra life, so one wrong and ya get another chance, but two wrong and your gone? It'll extend it out just a bit. Oh and i'm pretty sure I will enter.
