36 of the 48 entrants now paid, thanks all. Just a reminder to those who haven't to get in touch to let me know when they will be paying. A couple of them already have.

No rush yet but I will send some reminders out next week if I haven't  heard from anybody.

There are a few people who have entered both sweeps and I have had an enquiry as to whether they will get a different team in each sweep.

What I plan to do when making the draw is to put all the teams in one bag and then the sweep 1 entrants in a 2nd bag and the sweep 2 entrants in a 3rd bag.

I will draw a team and then a name from each of the other 2 bags. It is therefore possible that the same person could draw the same team in both sweeps but if this happens, what I propose I do is to put the name of that person back into the 2nd sweep bag and draw another name.

I hope you will agree that this is the fairest way and then the people who have entered both sweeps have a different team in each one.

Hopefully it won't happen though.

So how come UEFA & fifa make their draws sound so complicated. A job for you there Les?

UEFA & FIFA people are paid to do the job so have to justify their extremely high wages. Les does it for free so uses an easy method.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
