Groups

Group tables and fixture lists can be found in the main menu on the right.

Here are the groups:

Group A: Dirty Ratz, Bajen Avalanche, Sea Lane

Group B: Ellwood, Saltopus, Maidstone Reunited

Group C: Rasaritul Delta, Valaraukar, King's County United

Home teams should issue the challenge according to the rules... I will update the rules and other sections of the website as soon as possible. Delta are the only team left in the cup so I have given them a bye for the first week.

Good luck to all!

Cup Start Date Is 4th September

Format is as follows:

1) 3 groups of 3 teams each.
2) Each team plays the other teams in their group twice (home and away) under 'normal' (i.e. not 'cup') rules.
3) The group stage will take 6 weeks (4 game weeks and 2 byes)
4) The three group winners and the highest runner up will go forward into the semi finals.
5) The next four highest losers will play the 'das losers invitational' knockout round.
6) The lowest loser has the 'honour' of gaining the 'wooden spoon' for this season.
7) If anyone else confirms by midnight Friday 31st August then they will be included and I will adjust the format to accommodate them.

Anyone have any comments/suggestions then please feel free to post.

If anyone knows of any other teams that may be interested then let me know and I will add them to the list.

We will not be using cupmanager this season as I don't have the necessary funds. However, I will be keeping track of the league as I used to do many moons ago. This also means we are free to alter the number of teams per league how we see fit.

All that remains now is to see how many of us are playing.

New Season Start

Okay, folks, we are approaching the new season of the BCup and I will be sorting out groups over the weekend. What would be really useful to me is if anyone who wants to take part could send me an email or message me in hattrick or add a comment on here then it would be much appreciated.

I don't really want to include non-participating teams in the league so please don't leave it too long to let me know.

If you have already answered my mails or added comments to this blog or the poll on the hattrick site then rest assured, you will automatically be included in the competition. Likewise I will assume anyone still in the BCup fed will want to take part so you will be included too.

If anyone has any new teams who have expressed an interest in joining then let me know too and I will contact them in game.
