2025/26 Prediction League Cup Competition - St Charles Owl - 18-01-2026
The 2025/26 Prediction League Cup will kick off next week, it was won by Zinman the last time we did it and he achieved the League and Cup double in the process, not likely this year I'm afraid!! The same set of fixtures and scores from each chosen 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 recent Board meeting we decided to once again 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 machine was used to determine the first round ties and will also be used for the random draw for each round, here are the first set of ties:
Round of 16
Stairs v BaggieVicar
Amelia v Salop
AAA v BaggieOne
Twerton v Themaclad
Zinman v 4eva
Lady Jane v SCO
BBB v Lord Snooty
Derby v Minizin
In the event of a tie between players, the number of Correct Scores over the two legs will determine the winner, followed by total points scored on the Bonus Ball. After that Zinman and I will toss a coin!!!!
Scores and the draw for each round will be updated on this thread as we go through the competition.
Cheers Zinman & SCO
