Venues can sign up at any stage during the league. If venues
have played the 12 weeks they can continue playing for the extra
three weeks, however the scores will not need to be loaded.
If venues have missed two of the weeks, it is important to play the
correct games of the weeks that were missed and load the scores
accordingly.

Following on from the huge success of the FIFA 11 launch, PTG
are moving with the times and FIFA 11 will be the game of choice
for the league and the Regional Finals. Venues can use FIFA 10 for
the games, however going forward it will be FIFA 11 that will be
used and competed on in the Regional Finals. Initially we had
intended to stay with FIFA 10 for this league; however following
advice from professionals in the gaming industry and due to the
demand for FIFA 11, this has been confirmed as the game of choice.
This is not in any way intended to prejudice players used to
competing on FIFA 10, it is merely as a natural progression within
the industry.
PTG are always looking for venues to host nights, if you are a
venue owner and want to get involved then what are you waiting for?
