Should be good Jack, thanks for signing up. There's 3 of you in so far.

I played it last season with family, but the Premier League. Thought it'd be good to try something similar with League 2. Have got some software lined up which would fully automate it, but was going to cost about £350, so thought I'd see how it runs first throughout this season.

Have you made this competition up Deano? I think it's a great idea.

Downside is you'll probably need a betting license from the Gambling commission seeing as your staking money on the outcome of games.

No, didn't make it up myself. Think Paddy Power run one for the Premier League. Haven't come across anywhere doing it for League 2 though...so it's unique in that sense ;)

There's no money being staked on the outcome of games. You're paying an entry fee to cover the cost of me running the competition (website administration fees etc). I'm just kindly giving the best person the majority of the money back

In my humble opinion the game does constitute betting ( your guessing the outcome of an event), it will be 'pool betting' (because the jackpot depends on the fees paid by the participants) so a license would be required and so will be liable to pool betting duty at 15% of gross profits to HMRC!

Not trying to be a killjoy I'm just trying to point out because I'd hate to see you get in trouble in the very very unlikely situation that the Gambling commission took note of your competition.

Appreciate that, the last part of my last message was tongue in cheek. I've already raised it with the gambling commission, so it's in hand :)

And 15% gross profit of £0 is £0, so HMRC can sod off ;) I'm making nothing out of the competition.

Registration email was blank (no team name etc). Payment was unsuccessful too.

Give it another try and let me know how you get on.

Because otherwise you could submit selections for other users. The pin code is a layer of security to ensure you're submitting your own entries.

You need to be logged into the site to view the page. Can you also let me know your team name. I received your registration and payment ok, but you didn't fill in the team name.

Just sent out an email with this weeks results on it. All players start with 3 lives, so nobody is out the competition just yet, though 9 of the 24 teams are down to 2 lives.

See this page for the current standings:

4NDY was the only entrant that failed to make a selection, therefore was automatically assigned AFC Wimbledon, being the first team in the table (alphabetically) that he hadn't selected.

You can email your selection in from your registered email address, without the need to give your pin. The pin is only required when submitting direct off the website.

If you email in this time round, and I'll respond with your pin number.

Still waiting for 13 submissions for Round 2. Don't forget that with Notts County playing Mansfield this evening, you must have your selection in by no later than 19:15 today otherwise you will automatically receive the next team in alphabetical order that you've not already selected. For some, that will be AFC Wimbledon, and for others (who missed last week too) that will be Accrington Stanley.

Think I'll be alright again this week, nearly went for Notts County but it's a bit unpredicable what with it being a derby and with them having such a big squad overhaul over summer

I've gone for Northampton, now under pressure after losing a life last week.

Deano any chance we can change our 4 degit codes? So that it's easier to remember?

Deadline for submissions was 7:15pm yesterday, due to the Notts County v Mansfield game, which means any predictions after that are not valid I'm afraid.

Pin code can be changed if you email me. Remember you can email your selection through without the need for a pin.

That's a bit harsh surely if you want either County or Mansfield you get it in before, but I've got Northampton in before kickoff, over 12hrs before??

anyway who do i get now?
