2023/24 Prediction League Cup Competition Thread - St Charles Owl - 09-01-2024
The 2023/24 Prediction League Cup will kick off next week, it was won by Derby last year who achieved the League and Cup double in the process. The same set of fixtures and scores from each week will count towards each round of the Cup. League points are not affected, they still count towards the league tables as they always do.
After our Board meeting we decided on a change of format this season to make each round a random one on one two legged match just like the real cup competitions.
Last 16 matches will take place over 2 legs during weeks 22 & 24.
Quarter Finals will be over 2 legs using weeks 26 & 28.
The winners of those then meet in 2 legged semi finals in weeks 30 & 32.
The final will be a straight sudden death result using the last weeks league fixtures for scoring.
An online random number sequence generator was used to determine the first round ties and will be random for each round, here are the first set of ties:
Round of 16
Derby v St Charles Owl
BaggieOne v Twerton
Lady Jane v Zinman
Sanjay v BBB
Stairs v Themaclad
AAA v Lord Snooty
Minizin v Blue Baggie
Dingle - Bye to next round
Premier League players are in bold type.
In the event of a tie between players, the number of Correct Scores will determine the winner, followed by total points scored on the Bonus Ball. After that Zinman and I will toss a coin!!!!
Scores will be updated on this thread as we go through the competition.
Cheers Zinman & SCO

With all the derby game fuss I had forgotten this was about to be the final leg weekend - will we get a hint at the mountain we need to climb this weekend to win or maybe glory in a strong position and play our subs?
RE: 2023/24 Prediction League Cup Competition Thread - St Charles Owl - 31-01-2024
Scores after the first leg of the cup:
Derby 6 v 10 St Charles Owl
BaggieOne 11 v 7 Twerton
Lady Jane 8 v 13 Zinman
Sanjay 18 v 7 BBB
Stairs 4 v 15 Themaclad
AAA 11 v 8 Lord Snooty
Minizin 11 v 18 Blue Baggie
Dingle - Bye to next round
Some ties still too close to call, a few have some real work to do this week to overhaul the deficit. SCO, Sanjay and Themaclad all have a chance of pulling off a giant killing in the 2nd legs!!
Week 24 will be the 2nd leg games.

I wish I hadn’t asked now
RE: 2023/24 Prediction League Cup Competition Thread - derbybaggie - 13-02-2024
Did the second leg happen? Were the games called off due to crowd trouble, flooded pitches, strike action by referees, or a zombie invasion?
RE: 2023/24 Prediction League Cup Competition Thread - Zinman - 13-02-2024
I think we’re still waiting for the penalty shootout to finish in one of the ties.
