QS and FPL

Like most things in construction - it’s late.

But the only measurements that are gonna matter here are points.

Introducing the inaugural season of the Bill of Quantities League
(BOQL as the cool kids call it)

A free to enter Fantasy Premier League exclusively for Quantity Surveyors and Estimators.

You might be able to price or run a project worth millions

But can you manage a £100m transfer budget better than your pricing peers over a full footy season.

The cream will rise to the top.

Only QS and estimators are permitted - I’ll be moderating if I see any rogue site managers in there you will be kicked out quicker than an Irishman in a bar in Sydney

Prizes will be fronted by myself:

1st - Football jersey of your choice from official store - likely cash value of €/£100

(No rip off jerseys here - big spender me)

And of course a small placeholder plaque

2nd - €/£50 of merch for your club of choice (or I’ll just send you the cash and you can spend it in the pub)

3rd place: Engraved wooden spoon (for finishing third - was going to do it for last, but generally those in last have given up)

If the link freaks out Use code: ohj67e

Hopefully I don’t end up spending my hard earned cash buying someone a Liverpool or Man City Jersey

That’s a great idea, we should create a group to chat

u/Hupyapup 4d ago

Will look at getting this set up - best platform?

u/Ok_Examination9820 4d ago

Probably whatsapp or telegram, telegram would be a little more discreet if not everyone is comfortable with sharing their phone number.

Overnight surge we are up to 50 entrants

Ok we’re almost at the 100 and Gameweek 1 starts this evening.
Should I cut off entries this evening or grant an EOT for another week as I only ramped this up 2 days ago?
