Hello Arsenal Canada;
UEFA Champions League just opened up.
Scoring for the Arsenal Canada league will commence in Gameweek 2 (September 27).
Please make sure your team is entered on the website by that date so that you do not fall behind.

The last date to be eligible for first half and overall prizing is October 9. Please make sure your membership dues are paid today.

Dues paid after October 9 are eligible for second half prizing (the start of the elimination rounds).

Paid Members, to get the group access code, please email Morgan, god_moe@hotmail.com

Good luck and UTA!

Your Arsenal Canada Executive

UEFA Fantasy Champions League, http://en.uclfantasy.uefa.com/
Arsenal Canada Season Long Multi-Question Contest.

Competitions start in week 1 with scoring, but if you miss entering your team or picks by a week, have no fear there is still lots to play for.

Barclay’s FPL starts in week 1. There will be a first half and second half prize in addition to a home or away kit for the overall winner. If you have a team created already, we will supply you the code to join the group when you pay your membership dues. To be eligible for the first half or overall prize you must have your dues paid in full to Morgan Rubes by October 9.

Talksport I Know The Score starts in week 1. There will be a first half and second half prize in addition to a home or away kit for the overall winner. Again, we will supply the code once you are paid and the same date of October 9 applies.

UEFA Fantasy CL starts on group match day 1. You must be paid in full by October 9 to be eligible for prizes. Prizes are awarded to the overall winner, to the winner of the group stage, and the winner of the elimination rounds.

The season long multi question contest starts as soon as the questions are posted (probably in a week). You post your responses on the forum and then they get tabulated in an excel file for the exec to track. Entries in this are due by November 1, often the time that the first manager gets sacked.

We will also have a couple of bonus prizes. The highest single gameweek score in Barclays FPL, Talksport IKS, and UEFA Fantasy CL will each win a prize.

Please note that if you register after October 9, you are still eligible for second half prizing and for the highest gameweek prize.

If you have already paid, and did not yet receive an email with the codes, please email Morgan at morgan@arsenalcanada.ca or god_moe@hotmail.com
If an individual gets a code without paying, they will be removed from the group table.

cheers,
Your 2011-12 Arsenal Canada Exec
