Keep on signing up for the minileague. Password etc on opening post.

Comp starts next week so this weekend is the only and therefore last set of pre-season games for you to iron out your rustiness or inexperience.

In case I am not around at deadline time and to set it in stone, the numbers will be chopped as follows in Weeks 2-4 (our first 3 rounds):

- After week 4 we will aim for 16 teams (see opening post)
- We will lose one third of the 'excess' over each week, 2-4
- If the excess isn't exactly divisible by 3 then the extra one(two) will be knocked out in week(s) 2 (and 3)

eg. if we get to 50 (currently on 46) that is 34 to be knocked out, 12 in week 2, 11 each in weeks 3 and 4 (subject to tie rules etc). Week 2 50-12=top 38 survive. Week 3 38-11 = top 27 survive, Week 4 27-11 = top 16 survive

PS Entry is still open to all FISOers (see opening post for password)

47 + giggs11 = 48. Four dozen it is. Still over 12 hours to push that up though.

If we stay on 48 entries then the top 37 scores for the week will get through. 49 or 50 and it is top 38.

We are up and running with 48 entries. The (early) door has been shut and password changed.

It is the appropriately named 'Early Doors Cup' and works on a 'devil takes the hindmost' system of eliminating the lowest scorers each week until we get a winner.

The Timetable:

Set 1 16 Aug just practice
Set 2 23 AUG, 48 entries whittled down to 37
Set 3 30 AUG, 37 down to 26
(international break)
Set 4 13 SEP, 26 down to 16
Set 5 20 SEP, 16 down to 8
Set 6 27 SEP, 8 down to 4
Set 7 4 OCT, 4 down to 2
(international break)
Set 8 18 OCT, The Final

(dates are first date of 'set' and are all currently saturday - all subject to change if the fixtures do or I've cocked up)

In the early rounds if there is a tie all teams on that border will go through. e.g. if 6 teams are level for 35th place in Set 2 and the target is 37 teams then they will all go through so we have 40 teams left rather than 37. Those in 41st etc are out. The next week we would still be aiming at the original target remaining.

In sets 6, 7 and 8 there will be tie-breakers in effect as per previous years' rules. Therefore there will be only 4 semi-finalists, 2 finalists and one winner.
