-Yes, running the league requires a highly technical website to be built and maintained. Questions for this format are extremely difficult to write and our team of professional setters need paying for their time. Each game has a dedicated host who is paid for these duties plus this league will require numerous hours of man power to organise. The current fees are £165/$220 per team per season.
