GAME ON!

OK, here we go again! First round matches are to be held next week. As a reminder, keep the following points in mind:

1. There's an odd number of teams in each group, which means that one team in each group has a "bye" each week. If you don't see your team in the list below, you don't play until next week. I was also able to arrange it such that Brooklyn FC and Delta have their "bye" weeks in the first week, so they can get one more round of national cup play without forfeiting a B-Cup match.

2. The team listed first in the fixture list on the Cupmanager page is responsible for issuing the challenge, and our normal scheduling rules apply.

3. Neutral site. Normal rules.

4. Please welcome our newcomers and wish them the best of luck. I think I forgot to announce the arrival of Legio Primigenia, a former league-mate of mine (who used to trade under the name Sadler Owns Blalock in those days).

5. For avoidance of doubt, here's the fixture list for Round 1:

Ellwood - Sea Lane
Direwolf - Saltopus
Avs - KCU
Wind - Reefs
Ratz - Anfield
Freaks - Presidents
Le Tigre - Stones
FCB - System

Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck to all!
