tigertot hasn't got the pace for fullback. He might look like Brian Bevan but he doesn't move like him.

If he sees you approach while he's at the bar, he does

Last call for more players. Or as it stands, a volunteer to be cut into 3 pieces.

3. Pumpetypump
4. vbfg
5. debaser
6. bobsmyuncle

There's enough of me to go around. It has not even crossed my mind to use it to the benefit of whoever pays the most.

Right then, the judges have studied all night long, and the team line up has been scientifically chosen. (Actually, I did a dip-dip-dip of every 7th selection).

Team A
jayb
tigertot

vbfg
bobsmyuncle


Team B
broadybull
Bullinenemyland
Steel City Bull
Terrace singer

Those of you with advanced mathematics degree will have noticed that 13 into 3 doesn't go so one team has an extra 'real' player for Round 1 (Team A). However the NEXT TWO PEOPLE who want to play before the Round finishes can join Team B or Team C as they choose. Teams can of course go and recruit their additional player.

For now, Teams B and C have been allocated dual registration substitutes. The Round score for a dual reg player will beTEAM NAMES and CAPTAINS
I need a nomination for team captain and a team name. If nominations / names are not forthcoming then the top of each list will be appointed Captain by default and I will give each unnamed team an appalling name. If members can't settle on a name then post the choices and I will pick the one I like in true Mugabe style.

The next post will be your task for Round 1.


Competiton Rules
1. A captain will be agreed or appointed for each team
2. Each entry by each 'real' team player can receive up to the max points ("MP"icon_wink.gif for that round
3. Any player not making an entry by the deadline gets 0 pts
4. Any team where ALL members post an entry gets one additional MP bonus
5. If neither team posts a full set, the team posting most entries gets the MP bonus
6. At the end of R3 and again at end of R4, each teams cumulative score is halved
7. At end of R4 and R5 - the player in each team with least points is eliminated (their scores to date still count for team total)
Eliminations- In the event of a tie, captain will eliminate one player, failing which the organiser will toss a coin and announce the casualty.
Final - In the event of a tie, captains will be asked to do a play off task.

Maximum Points (MP) available to each player in each Round are__ Round 2__ Elim1 ___ Elim2___ Final
.....5 ........... 6 ........... 8 ............ 10 ........ 12


Appeals or objections to any decision can only be placed in writing inside a brown envelope containing £50 in used notes and will be duly considered upon receipt. So no point in posting your inevitable whinges here but please do anyway so I can laugh at you.

To make it nice and easy, all each contestant has to do is post an image based on your interpretation of the following theme[/size

I don't care what you use, anything from MS Paint to Photoshop, it doesn't matter. I should imagine the entries will be judged on originality, humour, grossness or lunacy. But maybe not. If you just link to a photo* of 'em it [imight[/i score nul points for being a lazy unimaginative bassterd. But then it might be so good or so funny that you score highly. Who knows? I sure as hell don't.

Entries will close at 2100 BST Thursday 18/09/2014.

[size*If you just link to someone else's photo it's up to you to comply with the AUP for posting links.[/size

Team c looks like that perfect blend of cultured articulate intelligentsia, and me. So team can we have an offensive team name? I'd like that.

This is entitled 'be vigilant! nigel wood is somewhere trying to look up at uranus.'

I'd be happy to captain a side again this year (hopefully a winning team again!!!).

Team name suggestions...

The Nathan Graham Up N Under Club
The Matt Orford Loyalty Collective

I would be disappointed if it was not offensive. I nominate you for captain. We need someone with sense and unwavering professionalism.

Hmmm. Passive aggressive git. Anyway can you think of a better caption for my pee poor effort above?

Have to withdraw my entry.Sorry guys.

good luck.

When I saw the first assignment I could not help thinking of the original title to Bonnie Tyler's immortal song:
