James Laverty Note the typo. Caesar, I think we just ran out of Waldorfs!

James Laverty

James Laverty As it currently stands, at least one of the two best runners-up are bots. Personally, I'd rather advance real people, but I'll leave this upto you lot. Feel free to use this as a strawpoll, and I'll go with the majority.

Tourney round: Apto NHL: Challenge Cup: Group Stage

Quarter-Finals >>

Notes from the organizer: So, here we go.

Fixtures for the league (and subsequent conferences) will start on Monday, but we will start the Challenge Cup now!

With 22 entries, I have added Plum and Waldorf into the mix (why should it always be Prune?!) to bring us up to a nice 24 to work with.

As I said at the start, this round would be COMPLETELY UNSEEDED! The groups have been drawn as stated, and hopefully have ended up fairly equal.

GROUP A: Keith, Edward, Johnny, Adam
GROUP B: Chris, Steven, Dan, Plum
GROUP C: Dave O, Matthew, Caesar, Alex
GROUP D: Dave R, Anthony, Jason L, Ian
GROUP E: Ronan, Matty, Fiona, Richard
GROUP F: Jason T, Patrick, Andy, Brett

The winners of each group, as well as the two runners up with the best records, will proceed to the quarter finals. You have two and a half weeks to play this game. Any unplayed games will be judged to be a 10-0 victory to whoever has made the most effort to play their games.

Good luck.

Fixtures: 36. Completed: 33.

Key. Green: winner. Red: loser. *: game decided on a tiebreaker. A struck-out individual score is an excluded performance.
