    Just wondering would there be any interest in this if I created one? Could do it via PP website or a crowd called RunLastMan - both take 10% cut AFAIK. Woud probably go with PP as I assume most on here already have an account and RunLastMan have a charge of €2.50 for certain types of payment card or 40c for regular cards - I have a thing about card fees of any amount.

    Too late for this round of Premier League fixtures but could set it up for after the international break if anyone's interested. Open to suggestions on entry fee. Was thinking a tenner a head but have added a poll if anyone wants to vote.

    What should entry fee be? 4 votes

    €5
    0% 0 votes
    €10
    0% 0 votes
    €20
    50% 2 votes
    €25
    50% 2 votes
    €50

    Count me in - poll was closed so couldn't vote - €10 is fine with me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,404 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Thanks for response. Yeah, I just set poll up for two days. Will set this up tonight when I get home for tenner a head


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,404 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    OK - this is set up now. Have used Paddy Power's website. Just go to PP website and there is a link to Last Man Standing under quick links. Once in the LMS area click "Join a Private Tournament". The tournament name is Boards and password is 12345. Fixtures are on Saturday the 18th so you have until then to sign up.

    Entry fee is a tenner with winner taking all minus a 10% admin fee which the site takes. You will need a Paddy Power account to enter but I assume most here have one.

    can count me in for it, but if someone wants to send me a wee reminder a day or two before this closes that would be great


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Pay day Friday. I'll join then. I'm smashed :pac:

    I'm in!

    Just giving this a little bump. Only three entrants in so far although pot is at €36 - not sure if PP threw in something extra or there's a fourth person I don't see.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 559 ✭✭✭DB74


    Thanks for the reminder. I'm in now too so the pool is €45 which 5 entrants less a 10% fee from PP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,426 ✭✭✭montyrebel


    will be joining it tomorrow on payday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,426 ✭✭✭montyrebel


    Deposited and went to join the private league, and the money was taken out of my account for the league (it shows in the account history)

    However when I go into the last man standing, it is only showing the free league that I joined on the last weekend of premier league fixtures.

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    I have been onto live support and they have passed it up the line to be looked at, but what if they dont get back to me before they lock it tomorrow? will i get a selection, is it alphabetical and just forced upon me?

    I would say that if it's not showing as you in it the worst case scenario is that you'l get your tenner back and not be entered or you'll get Arsenal at home to Hull - they go alphabetically if you don't make a selection. Shouldn't take them 24 hours to manually put you in though.

    We have a pot based on six people but can only see four users so looks like you're not the only one.

    There's a David, a DK, a JC and myself. Anyone else who's entered and isn't one of those people might want to contact them too.

    Doesn't exactly encourage any more to enter :mad:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,404 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Not sure how but there are only seven entrants but a pot of €108 which would suggest there are twelve in :confused: Not sure if it's closed now or not. Think it might still be open until 3pm

    Anyway first week's selections are as follows:

    Man City x 1
    Arsenal x 1
    West Ham x 1
    Chelsea x 2
    Liverpool x 1
    Stoke/Draw x 1 (myself)

    Good luck to all who entered

    Don't think results have been settled yet. Usually done next day but they can be slow sometimes. I got through one and kncoked out of another and haven't received my congratulations or hard luck emails.

    Not sure whether to say well done or not as it was split :pac:
