murf's Early Doors Cup 2010-11
It's back! Welcome to the 93rd (approx) running of the first Premiership Predictions cup of the season, based on the scores in the rebadged 'FISO Goals'. Our current champ is flyingkillercob who beat Big Bird 6-4 in the final.
This and the other cups which will follow are effectively informal/unofficial side competitions run by me using scores in the formal/official FISO Goals competition.
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 14 Aug just practice!
Set 2 21 AUG, All entries whittled down to 64
Set 3 28 AUG, 64 down to 32
Set 4 11 SEP, 32 down to 16
Set 5 18 SEP, 16 down to 8
Set 6 25 SEP, 8 down to 4
Set 7 2 OCT, 4 down to 2
Set 8 16 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)
If we get over 64 entries by Set 2 then the entries will close and competition will start then. If not then entry will stay open until we get 64 or, at the latest, when Set 3 starts.
In Set 2 the top 64 in that set will go through, in set 3 just the top 32 of those remaining will go through etc etc until Set 8 when the two (wo)men left standing fight it out in the final.
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 31st place in week 2 they will all go through so we have 36 teams left rather than 32. Those in 37th etc are out. The next week we would still be aiming at 16 remaining (as opposed to half the teams).
In sets 6, 7 and 8 there will be tie-breakers in effect as per last years rules. Therefore there will be only 4 semi-finalists, 2 finalists and one winner.
To enter you need to sign up for the Early Doors Cup 2010/11 minileague:
You'll need to go to the FISO Goals site section of FISO:
- click the 'fiso Games' logo/link at the top of most pages.
- select FISO Goals
- Click 'My Mini Leagues' on the left of the new page
- enter the following into the 'Join a Mini League' boxes:
League ID = 20
Password = early
- click the box marked 'Join'
Cut-off = you need to be in by first kick off, set 2 (currently 3pm Sat Aug 21st) to guarantee yourself a spot.
(If we haven't reached 64 teams by then we will keep entry open until we do - or at the latest the start of Set 3 15:00 Sat 22nd)
Newcomers (FISO veterans and newbies alike) more than welcome.
As this is my own private comp, I'll be reserving the right to not admit or throw out anybody who doesn't treat FISO properly and doesn't post in good spirit. As a rule of thumb this will mean you are banned if you are on my foe list so essentially they'll just be troll-free.
Don't forget to enter your picks on the FISO Goals site section of FISO - click the 'fiso games' logo/link at the top of most pages.
