HOW THIS WORKS
THE DRAFT — 3 TEAMS EACH
★ IN IT TO WIN IT — your contender. Pick any team you fancy for the trophy.
🎖 DARK HORSE — your romantic outsider, picked from seeding pots 3–4. Every point your Dark Horse earns is DOUBLED.
🎲 LUCKY DIP — one random team drawn by the machine from the leftovers. No refunds, no swaps.
No team can be owned twice. The gaffer enters picks in draft order — argue amongst yourselves.
LATE ARRIVALS: you can join after kick-off, but you pick from the leftovers and your teams only earn points from the moment you get them — nothing retroactive. Same entry fee, no whinging.
