The second of this season's individual cups is now upon us
To enter - you need to sign up for the Knockout Cup 2014-15 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 = 36
Password = knockered
- click the box marked 'Join'
I'm sure it won't happen but if we get over 64 by Saturday 18 October 12:45 (kick off of next game from now when I'm typing) then we'll have a first knockout between the lowest scorers (e.g. if 70 entries, then 58 top scores get byes and remaining 12 play knockout for 6 remaining spots)
If we don't get to 64 by 18th then entry will be strictly limited to 64 on a 'first come, first served' basis
If we don't get 64 by the next week then the highest (season) scores after the Set 8 games get the byes. Byes will only be awarded to people entering the minileague before midnight on Monday 20th.
DEADLINES
1) Saturday 18th October 12:45 (if we get over 64 entrants)
2) As soon as we get to 64 entrants (if after Sat 12:45)
3) Monday 20th October, Midnight (if you want a bye)
4) FRIDAY 24th OCTOBER, MIDNIGHT (last entries if we haven't got to 64 by then)
EXTENDED - MIDNIGHT 31st OCTOBER (or when we get to 32)
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) guests doing the draw each week as per previous seasons.SETS/DATES
