Gaelic Life C'Ship Fantasy Football with Prizes!

[RedandGreenSniper]

Right buckaroos,

Gaelic Life are launching their Championship Fantasy Football tomorrow. The rules are listed below and will be listed in the paper and probably on the website too. Gaelic Life are putting forward prizes again for the GAAboard league, like they did for the NFL. Prizes are a Gaelic Life bag, jacket, hoody and mug. We'll probably give them out as solo prizes so that the top 4 all get rewarded. So we'll say jacket for first, hoody for second, bag for third and mug for fourth if that suits everyone.

Gaelic Life are going to run the competition (thank God!) and they'll send me the updates for me to update here.

So anyone that wants to enter the competition has firstly enter the overall comp on Gaelic Life before the closing date of 3pm on Wednesday, May 6.

From there you can enter the GAAboard competition and here are the important bits for the board competition - you will have to PM me (its the easiest way for me to collate the entries) with the name you are entering the competition under (those bucks entering a team for every family member have to select in advance which team you want to assign to your board alias - ye know who ye are!) and your team name. Some people might not want to give me their name, that's fair enough but they can't enter the competition then. And don't worry, I won't be posting such details on the board! All these entries will all need to be in by close enough to the same time as the Gaelic Life deadline - 3pm, Wednesday, May 6 so that the league can be set up pronto and be up and running. We'll say 12midnight that night as our deadline.

The competition itself looks very interesting with the selection of captain a real interesting one - whoever you pick gets double points!




Championship fantasy football competition
£1,500 worth of prizes TO BE WON

in association with Ladbrokes.com

Here it is, the one we have all been waiting for, the Championship Fantasy Football competition. Who will win Ulster or who will go via the back door like Tyrone last year and possibly win the All Ireland? No matter what way the Ulster teams progress you have to decide what players will play and score the most from the first round of the Championship to the All Ireland final.

Gaelic Life and Ladbrokes.com are challenging you to select 15 players from a total of 234 including a team captain plus a manager and compete against the other fantasy managers from the rest of Ireland and world in this great competition.

If you can pick a team that scores more points than anyone else then you'll pick up a cool £750 for your troubles. If you get close, you could still pick up a handsome cash prize or GL merchandise.

Enter now: www.gaeliclife.com

To Enter:

Simply select your team of 15 players consisting of 1 goalkeeper, 3 full backs, 3 half backs, 2 midfielders, 3 half forwards and 2 full forwards including a team captain plus a manager before 3pm Wednesday 6th May 2009. We'll tally up the scores on a weekly basis and publish the top positions every week in Gaelic Life.

Once registered you will receive an automatic email detailing your selected team. The competition will run for the duration of the Championship.

Private Leagues

[corn02]

Team entered. Is there a private league set up?

[ArmaghGAAforum]

Team entered. Is there a private league set up?

I'd like to know this also?

[RedandGreenSniper]

A private league can be set up, only problem would be that ye'll have to give yer real names. What I've suggested in my post is for ye to PM me yer names and then i'll sort it out with Gaelic Life whereby they'll send me the table with real names on it and I'll change it to yer GAAboard aliases, if that suits everyone?

[SidelineKick]

Super dooper.

[RedandGreenSniper]

Bump!

Picked my team yesterday. The championship draw makes it somewhat difficult. I've went with Paddy Bradley as my captain anyway, g'wan Paddy ya good thing!

If you want to enter just PM me with your name and team name after you've picked the team on the Gaelic Life website.

[ONeill]

What the feck are yiz picking your teams for now? What if Paddy Bradley breaks his wee finger in the NFL final or is hauled up in court for taking a floor scraper to the windows in Dormans?

[ziggysego]
