FA Cup Competition

gioblues still leads the table, with a seven point gap between him and Resurgam. grumpygit plummets down the table from 2nd to 4th as brb smashes a nine out of the boundary and leaves grumpy stumped for words, with even Patchy now chasing after grumpygit's tail. Pegleg closes the gap between him and allbluelenny, while itstimupnorth is left drifting mid-table. Finally geoffthegills has gone missing in action the last two games, and is out like a duck as if up against alwaysright at a shooting range...

I'm sure you will win and good luck. It's difficult to keep the formula for the whole competition unlike the prediction league as it can become a one horse race and people would lose interest. Hence i mix it up to keep activity on the forum and interest in our little game.

Obviously I'm open to suggestions of an improved formula for next season and take your point onboard <ok>

<cheers>

Oooh oooh. Me sir...me sir.. <jumpsupanddownexcitedlyemoticon>

How about in certain rounds - at your discretion of course @brb , including a joker, which could be worth double points.
For example, in the first round when we pick 3 teams, you could say that it was a Joker round, and we could play our joker on one of the teams we picked, thus doubling our score for that team.

Best bit mate, you was quite close with the time of the first goal being scored, which would have got you an additional five points. Shame you never got them to be fair, i would have beat you by just ONE point then, so close, yet so far <laugh>
