WCA Update 24/11

I've got the go-ahead to start a league for those that joined the WCA after the start of the season. At the last count there are nine people that joined late. Bear with me while I get it implemented tonight - will be as soon as I can. :)

In terms of what will happen at the end of the season, once all the competitions you are in complete you will be allocated any "top up" prize money. To explain, you will have already been distributed the money for finishing last in all comps; if you now finish 1st you will get the money for finishing 1st minus the money for finishing last. Hope that makes sense.

Shortly after the prize money is handed out, screenshots will be available at this blog, competitions will be reset and the Qualifiers are over!! You are free to leave the WCA if you like but hopefully everyone will stay.

UFFA (best of Lineker) places will be awarded to the best performing teams within WCA, competitions will run for Season 2. All to be announced at the end of the season. If you leave WCA you will forfeit your UFFA place.

The Premiership: Anyone who finishes in the top five of their league will be transferred to the Prem. At the end of Season 2, relegations to take place. Teams in the Prem will excluded from the Non-Prem Cup.

The Championship: Anyone who finishes in places 6th to 10th in their league will be transferred to the Champs. At the end of Season 2, promotions and relegations to take place.

The League Ones: Remaining teams will be places randomly within the League One's with the best teams being promoted to the Champs at the end of Season 2.

The money is distributed so that winners of Prem get around £1m and bottom of League 1's get £250k. I'm sure by now that you realise that £750k is not that much difference. This is the same across all FAs in all GWs.

A big thanks to Josh who, I'm sure you will agree, has completed an excellent round of League 1. More to follow. If anyone else wants to get involved let me know. :)

p.s. 8pm tonight the U21 League starts.
