PLAYOFF AND DLI FIXTURES

Back in late June, I included the following line in a post about technical rule changes: "2. B-Cup playoff fixtures and brackets will be held according to the bracket generated by Cupmanager (since we do not have the ability to re-seed and override)."

My suspicions were correct. For most of the history of the B-Cup we have arranged playoff fixtures by an "American style" seeding process. Cupmanager, however, uses a traditional "FIFA style", where for example Group A #1 will face Group D #2 and vice versa. Anyway, the bottom line is that Cupmanager has set up the playoff fixtures differently than we have done in the past. However, in order to keep continuity with the automated features of the Cupmanager, we are going to go with what they have set up. As a result, first round fixtures with home team first are:

Bonafide-Wind
KCU-Delta
Ellwood-Brooklyn FC
Tigers-Ratz

Obviously remember CUP RULES.

First round DLI fixtures are:

Saltopus-Presidents
System-Freaks
Direwolf-Maidstone
CTFC-Avs

Feel free to email or HT mail me with any questions. Best of luck to everyone. Bring on the Wop for postseason odds!
