I lost both my games but the league match I lost should be the only person I lose to this season.

Is anyone still in the cup, or are we able to get this competition underway this weekend?

I was wondering that too?]

If anyone is still in the comp please tell us, or we will start this week.

I'm out of the cup, also dom how did you do the ranking of each team, I don't understand what values make my team worth 35,000 odd.

What I did is I took each team's 5 highest players and added up the scores. Essentially the reason I did this is that it gives a general overview on how strong each team is, minimising the impact on any outliers (such as a large number of new academy players).

Evidently though, it probably won't make a difference. I am one short on teams to make two groups of 10 (I didn't realise Gossy7 already was in another competition). Which makes everything messy. I pm'd everybody who has indicated on this thread that they had a team but i didn't have any luck

Right now, we have basically two options.

1) We could cut my brother's team, demote the lowest ranked first division team (Robrulz5) and create two divisions of four teams.

2) Forget the whole division idea, cut my brother's team, and have one competition of 8 teams playing each other once.

We could just leave it as it is, but it will stuff fixtures up with one division of 5 teams and one division of 4 teams

Right now, I think the division system is a good idea so I am probably leaning towards 1, but I'm not fussed really, they both have their good points.

What do you think?

Keep your brothers team in, ARCN from BT plays and he is my sister's boyfriends brother so I'll talk to him and then we have the extra team needed.

No problem.

Also, how are we going too doo this? Is it the home team challenges the away team? AND! What happens if they forget too check and dont accept? is it an automatic win for the home/away team(who ever challenges first).
