The draw was a random generated number system, used by Emil and attached to previously formatted team designated numbers











All team captains to organise their own games and post in booking thread.

Team captains to keep msn on and referee own matches, any action deemed ungentlemanly conduct to be copied from chat thread and posted for comments. A moderator can be in attendance if you prefer.

The matches will be decided as per league scoring system.

New registerd members up to the 3rd August are allowed to play (Ref:shortage of available team members).

The dates have been extended to allow for those teams not yet ready to sort their team rosters.

1st round: 3rd Aug to 16th Aug.

2nd round (inc plate): 17th Aug to 26th Aug

Semi Finals: 27th Aug to 2nd Sept

Finals (both) to be arranged by those teams qualifying.

Simple, its the plate competition. This is designed to give first round losers another game or competition, hence the plate (used commonly in rugby). The bye cant beat the Brave hearts, so is dropped into the plate competition.

This will give the byes opponents passage to semis obviously, but is only way to format it. The plate will be redrawn so no team has a foreseen advantage.

hope that helps Sean.

why are all teams in the first round?
i think the top 8 teams or so with the best record after the season had to be in the first round. (the same as it is in professional sports).

GP ...this is a stand-alone, clean-slate event un-related to season one of the league (which ended tragically with a Dealer trounce).

Besides..who can agree on 'the best record'? You ask gegs and he'll mention some punk band who only made one album because their lead drowned in a keg. For me, hard to beat I Think I Love You by the Partridge Family.

I'm sure this has been helpful...so, yw.

lmao Bento :-)

GP, we won the league and even the Individual table following the league. All events after the competition are unrelated to what happened in the past season. Of course it would've been nice to draw a bye, but I'm sure we'll enjoy playing the Replacements too.
Besides, numbers 2 to 14 were all very close, so it would be strange to draw a random line after the first 8 teams... Especially since nobody saw this league cup coming.....

Is this a double-elimination scheme, that is,
are the winners of the plate competition given the chance
to get back in and win it all,
by beating the winners of the main final *twice in a row* ?

Lefty and all: It was decided to allow all teams to field new registered players up to the start of this competition.

Without this, a lot of teams wouldn't be able to field a full team.

Hi Hovis

After seing what happened between pokerpuffs and the village people, i think the rules for cup might be too stringent as it can be difficult to field 5 registered player especially during the holidays. Not being able to ue subs and register new players makes this even more difficult

Sos mac, I make rules to keep us on track.

This league wouldn't be here now, if I didn't apply them. That one I changed once to allow teams to top up and cut off reg was 3rd Aug.

This is league cup for those that played in regular season, however I had to allow new faces cos teams were short, so changed the criteria.

I would love to make you all smile, but I need to show consistency or we would see a "remember the league" thread. I understand mac and appreciate your input, but hovis says "no", but here's a hug anyways x :))))

I know my team are lucky to be in the cup - so I'm not causing hassle ... I'm just trying to suggest something here:

How about, as teams are continuing to be added to, etc, and the cup progresses, that you announce (in advance) that there will be a 'wild card anmesty day' where teams have 24hrs to register their new kids on the block?

That way its fair for all and easy on the admin - when the portculis closes - that can be it!?

i agree we are lucky to be in the league its awesome and tia and hovis are doing an amazing job. The reason i bought it up is that some teams are finding it difficult to get eg the pokerpuffs who i feel bad for that they got knocked out cause they could only field 3. i know other team who have the same isssue. the village people only had 4 today and i know ninjas only have less players to choose from. i was also struggling but im luck as ill my player have come back from holiday, two are going but i still have 7 to choose from. THIS IS NOT A KNOCK ON HOVIS OR TIA. theyare doing such a great job which im privilidged to be a part of and the fact they also takeour point into account make it even better.
