And the other televised game will involve last seasons cup winner Wizardoffire v Richt

couldnt have asked for a much tougher matchup in a repeat of last seasons semi final match

[gutshot]

How is the cup draw done FF? I have visions of you and a bingo ball machine

[forestfan]

I just use a random number generator:

https://www.random.org/sequences/

and paste the results into the spreadsheet for each round.

It could just be done in Excel, but Deal Or No Deal once ran into problems doing it that way...

[morganb]

It's also live and exclusive on FISO TV
