murf's Premiership Predictions Knockout Cup 15-16 * FINAL * FINAL *
MURF'S PREMIERSHIP PREDICTIONS KNOCKOUT CUP 2015-16
The second and final of this season's individual cups is now upon us
To enter - you need to sign up for the Knockout Cup 2015-16 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 = 41
Password = knockedup
- click the box marked 'Join'
GUARANTEED PLACES IN THE LAST 32 ARE LIMITED TO THOSE ENTERING BY SATURDAY 12:45 - so get in fast
3 ways this may play out:
1. If we do get to 32 by the preliminary round kick off (Saturday 27th Feb 12:45) then drawbridge up and that is our 32. Simples.
2. If we don't get to 32 by the preliminary round kick off (Saturday 27th Feb 12:45) then all entrants by that stage will be guaranteed places in the last 32. Later entrants will fight it out over the games on 27-28 Feb & 1/2 March with their scores only counting for games starting after they enter. Say, for example, we get 27 by Saturday 12:45 then late entrants will be playing for the last 5 spaces.
3. If we don't get to 32 by first round kick off (5th March) then there will be byes awarded to early entrants who score highly in the 'preliminary sets' (details later). You'll score points towards your possible bye for all games you predict in the next 2 sets (from this post) AFTER your entry so get in quick.
You won't have to do anything extra to participate in this cup other than enter as explained above and then do your regular 'FISO Goals' Premiership Predictions for the league.
HOW IT WORKS
This and my other cups are effectively informal/unofficial side competitions run by me using scores in the formal/official FISO Goals competition (which has replaced the superior informal/semi-official Premiership Predictions comps run by me and thelip in the olden days).
All ties will be knockout over two legs, home and away. Away goals counts if there is a tie and then usual tie-breakers.
SHE'S BACK - Other than the byes for the first round, all draws will be totally random using the e-blackbag with Kylie and one other special (but not as special as Kylie) guest doing the draw each week as per previous seasons.
SETS/DATES
Sets 26/27 Seedings only preliminary type thingy rounds (27-28 Feb & 1/2 March)
Sets 28/29, Round 1 - Last 32 (5-6 & 12-14 March )
Sets 30/31, Round 2 - Last 16 (9-20 March & c.2 April)
Sets 32/33, QFs (c. 9 & 16 April)
Sets 34/35, SFs (c. 23 & 30 April)
Sets 36/37, Final (c. 7 & 15 May)
Set numbers etc are subject to change but I will try and keep them to the last 12 'proper' sets of matches. Bonus rearranged games etc may or may not count depending on how they fall and fit into the prediction sets.

Re: murf's Premiership Predictions Knockout Cup 15-16 * NEW * ENTER NOW *
8 in now and I've spammed all entrants of the Early Doors Cup to increase numbers.
The last cup got over 32 entrants so I may tweak the entry to this to allow more in BUT anybody entering by 12:45 tomorrow (first k.o.) will be guaranteed a place in the last 32 and latecomers can fight over any remaining places. If we get 32 by saturday then the door is shut.

19 in now. I've tweaked the entry stuff above but basically if you are one of the first 32 and get in by saturday lunchtime you have a guaranteed place in the last 32 - as 19 of us already have. 13 places left.

Re: murf's Premiership Predictions Knockout Cup 15-16 * NEW * ENTER NOW *
30 in by the first deadline and so all are guaranteed entry into the last 32 starting next weekend.
The remaining 2 spots are available on a play off basis to any late comers with points scored from when they first enter (might be best to shout out on this thread that you are in!) and the highest 2 scores by the end of wednesday night are in - obviously helps if you can enter before today's 3pm flange.
Not much chance of a bye for the 30 of us in already.... but if we don't get 2 latecomers then the bye(s) will go to the top scorers over the next 2 sets.

fox.i.t.b. becomes our first late entrant and the only contender (so far) for the 2 remaining available spots which go to the two highest scoring late entrants in midweek.
If no more late entrants emerge then the 30 of us earlybirds currently twiddling our thumbs will continue to half-heartedly fight for the sole remaining bye.

So with 1 bye available, who top scored over 2 legs?? I make it shaggy365 with a very healthy 20, possibly the only person to overtake first leg leader Big Bird (17).
The remaining 30 balls go into a velvet bag. Kylie is here to help with the draw but we may need to catch up on other stuff first....
