[St Charles Owl]

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
