With another set down and a few more entries in, here is the crucial bit of the table around the pre-qualifiaction cut-off:

Sweating:
15 115 jpk100
15 115 Razorback
17 114 kizkiz
18 112 derbynige
19 111 Jaybrent Allstars1
Currently missing the cut and having to go into qualification:
21 110 SOBD
21 110 ashers1981
23 109 Rookster
24 108 DrBunker
25 106 TheTon
26 102 bspittles
26 102 GM
28 89 dickypick

(goldenballs is also =19th but gets in as champion)

3 more sets this calendar year and then the line becomes permanent, those below it then fight off in the first 4 sets of 2010 for the final 12 spots in the Group Stage (where the big TV money is). Well that is if we get over 4 more entries.....

All scores are reset for the Qualification games in January so don't be put off entering if you aren't doing well so far or would be totally new to FISO Goals. Everyone welcome, everyone gets a chance of glory.

The really embarrassing thing is that i've done predictions every week and still have a piss poor score!!

Most people around me have probably missed several sets!!

And to think i came 4th in the whole thing just two seasons back

Im blaming the new ball this season,alot more goals are being scored with it imo(not sure if the stats back this up)hence its harder to predict the right score.

Signing up now (my name will definitely be in red )

Count me in please.

Now up to 32 entries so there won't be any gaps in our leagues.

Full scores on post 2 but the cut off is now at 118 points although loads of time yet. Those below better be sharpening up their game for the qualification rounds (assuming we get more entries and there will actually be people missing out!)

Still a week left to enter if you want to pre-qualify

(entry will reopen after the 28th December deadline for the qualification stage)

I'm in if its not too late.

33 in now. Not too late at all as there are 2 deadlines

1 - 28th December to be in for a chance of Pre-Qualifying (our champ goldenballs + top 19)

2 - Once qualifying starts (early Jan) entry will reopen for those wishing to join the Qualifying fight for the final 12 spots over the first 4 sets of 2010 - with everyone starting again on 0 points so no disadvantage to even total newbies to the game.

Keep those entries coming

Shall I bow out now or do you think it's worth me trying to predict something?

Looks like you'll go into Qualification. 12 out of 13 get through at the moment so you should manage that!

And besides you'll be get cracking scores over the next few weeks as you are raising your game to play for Team Europe in the Ryder Cup!

37 in so far. The 20 Pre-Qualifiers will be decided after the scores tomorrow night. If you wish to have a chance of pre-qualifying then you'll have to be signed up by the time I log off after tonight's games.

The 17 (or more) of you below the cut off line fight it out in Qualifying over the next 4 sets. Entry remains open throughout.

Ok, thats it, the Pre-Qualifying 20 will be from the 37 names above, decided by the points tally after tomorrow.

The competition remains open for anybody to join. Final Qualifying for the final 12 spots will be over the first 4 sets of 2010 with everyone starting that little skirmish on 0 points.

Then when he have settled on the 32 names the CL Stylee groups will be sorted and the real battle can commence.

With 2 games to go and 6 points available:

Is the draw going to be seeded? People with close geographical links put into separate groups, all of the usual UEFA draw nonsense?

No geographical malarkey here. This may be CL Stylee but I am not Sheep Blatter.

I think you should be confident of being seeded in Pot A
