    Lads,

    Has anyone got an interest in playing a cup competition while we wait for the patch to start the franchise.

    Each player would be the team they have drafted for the franchise. There will be 32 of us if everyone participates which will leave a last 32, 16, QF, SF and final.

    Games would only be 7 minutes a quarter and to be played through the boards community.

    I am away from Tuesday until Sunday, so if thats not ideal for people then you can count me out but I will be about late Sunday and late Monday to get my first game out of the way.

    Right lads,

    What I'm going to do is assume all 32 players will play and do a draw. If a player can't play, then the opponent gets a bye to the next round. I think that's the best idea.

    Draw will be made in the next hour. The whole draw will be made so you'll know your exact route to the final. THere will be no seeding so let's see how it goes :D

    Will work on trying to get a tournament tree now so it's easier to read than that :) Can we all try get these done by Sunday. I'll PM everyone now anyways.

    Games will be 7 minutes long a quarter, played through the Boards community. The games will be increased to 8 minutes a quarter from the quarter finals on. The team first is the home team and should end the invite. Players are required to use the team they have in the franchise.
