PL Cup The SZ PL Christmas Cup 2011

BLUEBLOOD

Moderator of Moderators
Regular players will be familiar with this little sideline, but for the forgetful (:harry:) and the newbies ...

As players you do nothing different, each week H will slap the fixtures up (maybe even the full compliment of 6 even !!!) and you predict as ever you would, i'll wander along over the weekend and mark them and you earn points as per usual, except every now and again your points will be matched against another player on a knockout basis .. eg if i'd have been paired against Brettie Angell yesterday i'd have lost 10-9 and thus be out the cup, if i'd have been against ldnfatso it'd be 9-5 to me and he'd be on his bike, a match up with Creaky would've finished 9-9 and we'd replay next game

The competition starts with 32 entrants for logistical purposes and in a slight change from the norm qualification will be based on performances on Tuesday when we play the Gills, taking yesterday as an example everyone from Chapperz at the top to the quartet scoring 4 each will be in so 27 so far, those scoring 3 .. - Emu - Roxy - SupaBlues - class - Teenage Shrimper - ShrimperNath - BLUEBLOOD Junior would be reassessed Tuesday and the top 5 would go into the main draw, the remaining players who scored less than 3 would be out at the qualification stage, harsh on them but about the fairest way of coming to a sensible number of starters i feel

I'll do some fixture planning and work out a timetable but in the meantime any thoughts/ideas/questions just post them up here and i'll see if i can help
 
Right, here's the schedule for the comp

Tues 13th Sept (Gills H) Qualification Round

Sat 17th Sept (Plymouth H) Tie Breakers, final Qualification .. if players are still level after 2 qualifying rounds it will go on countback starting with Swindon match then Northampton etc..

Sat 24th Sept (Rotherham a) First Round

Sat 15th Oct (Morecambe H) Second Round

Sat 5th Nov (Oxford H) Quarter Finals

Sat 26th Nov (Bristol R H) Semi Finals

Mon 26th Dec (Aldershot a) Final
 
What about last years winners ? Are they not exempt ? What if they do not qualify ? . Only asking as I didn't do very well last night.

Well you were good to your word Shane, here's how the final qualifiers went ...

Emu did not post
Staines Shrimper did not post
class 4
Teenage Shrimper 13
southend_aussies 10
seves 4

"no shows" from Emu and SS mean they are out, TS and sa sweep through with excellent scores leaving countback to the Swindon match to decide who between seves and class completes the line up for Round One ... i'll be back with that in a moment or two

... its seves
