Semifinals/miscellany

Jeff brings up a good point, one that Boyd and I were discussing previously. We'll have to do a couple of things to address tiebreakers in the future for the Semis and Finals. First, if the first game, which should be played normally, ends in a tie the 2nd match will be played Cup Rules, to ensure that there will be an overall decision. As for an overall tie, we will go with away goals first, then home goals, then, if we really need it, we can go with total scoring opportunities.

I speak from experience to say that these ties really suck.

As to Tom's question, there was little interest in the Das Losers Invitational, so I never organized anything. I guess Matt is too busy winning league matches to bother....

And one more point of discussion: We have the option, as a league, to send the winner of the Brooklyn Cup to the newly organized Federations Cup, a 38-league Cup Winners' Cup that will be beginning next season. That would, of course, necessitate that the winner of the B-Cup not be IN the B-Cup for that season. Let me know your thoughts, as to whether you think it would be a great idea or a horrible one, to pursue the Federation Cup.
