Transfer Controversies and Headaches

Now that our first transfer window has passed, we find ourselves with a problem. DJ (one of the organizers) has entered a team worth £61m, which is over the budget. This was of course only copped last night (Sunday). I think he needs to go back to the other side of the teachers desk and redo that course on addition. (Of course it can be considered as a course day ... so he'll get paid for it !!). We have a few options on how to handle the situation:

  • Kick him out of the competition ... and take his money. (Maybe a little harsh for the person that is currently drinking through his cases of wine he bought with your entry fee.)
  • Allow him to keep his team . (I can imagine the whinging from the rest of ye .... that are close to the bottom of the table with him. (OK, there isn't too many of ye down there))
  • Allow him to make minor changes to his over budget team, as long as it doesn't increase his points tally.
  • Use his team as it was before the transfer window and allow him to change it this coming week with Mairead and Dermot. (A 12 point penalty)
  • Physical torture. (I'm all for it even if he got to keep his extra million ... and we could combine it with any of the other above options.).
Any other ideas (or specifics on the method of physical torture) then you know where to come.

Since Dermot and Mairead were away in the Canaries (congrats and best wishes to them both), they were unable to make changes, so we're letting them make their changes during this week (before 25th Nov).

Isn't democracy great. Make the rules up as you go along :)

PS. Any new eurolotto millionaires will have a €9,600 tax imposed them which will be distributed among the prize-winners!
