Boards FSA Champions Cup

Just had a quick count there and I'm counting 48 entrants so far. Will be easier to get a definite figure when I'm on laptop. Phone screen is annoying.

That's great interest considering this place gets busier at the weekends.

Keep them coming. Would be great to get to 64 so we can have 16 groups of 4.

Have counted the above entries and checked them twice. My missus' team below makes it 60 entrants.

Boards name: None
Team Name: Balgree Rovers
Team id: 452934
12/13 Ranking: 1067

I know I had planned to keep things running until next Saturday and see how many people we got but I think most of the regulars have now entered so I think entries will be capped at 64 as it's an easy number to work with in terms of the groups and 2 teams going through from each into a round of 32.

So 4 places are left folks.

The one regular missing is RoryC. I'll leave it to the rest of you if somebody wants to pm him and get his details or whatever.

I was a regular poster in 11/12 and finished 910 overall, didn't get on here as much last season and the result of which can be seen above

btw, fair play to Lemlin for running it

You're in. 3 places left folks.

Excited. Aiming to make the KO stage at least. I assume the last 32 will be seeded by group winners v runners up?

Yep, it'll be the same as the way the Champions League do it.

Will there be any qualification criteria for next seasons game? Have to make the last 32 or whatever with the other 32 being the highest ranked 32 teams to apply to enter?

I'm a great believer in never getting ahead of myself...

We'll see how this year goes before I start talking about next year!!

You have my assurances that your venture will be successful... Congratulations..

Any takers to offer a prize for the winner then? Or anybody work for a website or know one would like some free advertising?

The Boards FSA Champions Cup is primed to have a sponsors name stuck in there!

I had thought about charging people a fiver entry but it'd be too much admin work.

Ah dammit only seen this thread now :eek:

Is there any Europa League spots up for grabs......:P

Yep, will add you to the list. I will probably just keep the Europa Cup entry open until it starts in January.

Right lads, the teams are seeded. As winner of the Cup two yeears ago, I was disappointed to just miss out on pot 1. Still, I did go out in the 2nd or 3rd round last year!

They will be joined by anyone else between now and December who wishes to join and the 3rd placed team from each group.
