I'm guessing that you won't count me in Ralphy because it would be unfair on the others.

Like single player but would be interested in team for something different

Something "different"? "Team"? OMG, Spot has just run into the garden for a "Tail Chase"

Absolutely, it's a privilege to take part. Simper, simper.

Cheers, Ralph, let's go again.

Option 3 if the vote is still open.

I'd like to have a go. Any format will do.

Nonayforever · Post by **Nonayforever** » Sun May 17, 2020 5:57 pm

Please include me Spot.
I certainly can't do worse than last time. I really don't think anyone would want me in their team, so singles for me.

It is looking like singles and two divisions. The divisions will be selected randomly so there is no favouritism, unless the odd pan of chicken stew lands in Spot's bowl

Redbeard · Post by **Redbeard** » Sun May 17, 2020 6:22 pm

Ah - it's singles after all. Good.

Please count me in too.

Btw if the divisions are randomly formed and thus of equal quality, do we call them A and B rather than 1 and 2?

Pools A and B, even?

Admiral, I wouldn't consider starting without you!

But 'A' comes before 'B'... we can't win. We may as well call them The Monkey and The Kangeroo

Chicken Stew, just as Spot like it, on its way via the world famous Canine Courier.

Indeed it does, but that's why I suggested Pools A and B. Like in World Cup qualifying, for example, when there are perhaps eight pools - A,B,C,D and so on - yet all are equal!

Meanwhile, thanks for the kind consideraion.

So, you're not just a supreme "Spot-the Baller"

Super idea but, it'll have to be "Coates" and "O'Neil"

Both leagues named after two of our Greatest!

Come on, Ralphie: you'd surely struggle to remain impartial in that case.

Buxton's idea is brilliant, though.

Dobbo comes third, followed by Frank

For those who don't register in time for kick-off next Monday, don't despair. There's always next season !

Any chance you can misplace Buxtons, Hunters and Goobs entries for a couple of weeks?
