I’ve now done the necessary under-the-bonnet admin to get the 2010 NFL mini-league up and running.  Joining it is a piece of the proverbial: all you need to do is log in (or register and then log in if you’re new to this) on the Face the Ball site, join the main site’s 2010 NFL competition (you need to join the main one first before you can join the mini-league). Once you’ve done this and are in there, you’ll see a load of links on the left-hand side of the page.  Click on the one that says “Join Mini League” and this will then prompt you to enter the mini-league’s ID code which is: dEyyCacOXMQM.  That’s all there’s to it.

The first matches are on this coming Saturday evening (for those counties not embroiled in planning problems with their floodlights) and the deadline for doing your first round of predictions is midday on Saturday.  Go on, get it sorted now – we’ll talk about the prizes later.
