Will updtae the week 31 blog post tonight and also get out the tips for Week 32 (and Cup replay) tomorrow night.


Mar 2:

Tonight its Roma v Juventus to round out the weekends League play, so this update is not about League results.

Instead its about the Cup games.

I have only this morning noticed I had provided some Spanish League games for players to tip that were past games and therefore not 'live' this weekend. This obviously is an error, and one that works on both games, differently.

Also, provision was not made for such a cock-up by the administration as well. There is a rule (League and Cup Season - rule 5) that covers postponements and cancellations, but not this.

This means one thing and one thing only - Executive Decision Time.


In the below matchup...
The Sarge wins 2-1 even without the Spanish games coming into play.
With a 2-1 lead in the first 5 games the match could have gone to the next three games if game 4 was live and fell to J_F's favour.
But in the first three penalties, the result still favours the Sarge by 2-0, so its game over in that phase of play.

DAthletic Clubv R VallecanoHH5th Pen.
EReadingv ForestHH03A

Therefore, I have deemed this game to be complete with the result standing as a win to the Sarge 2-1.


Over in the other Quarter Final, it is not so clear cut though...
Below we can see a similar outcome in the first five games, with Matt leading 2-1.
But in the extra games A through E, there is no way to split the teams if they were locked together after the first five games (other than the other Spanish game).
So given much of this game hinges in 'what might have been' if the Spanish games were still in play, the decision is to REPLAY this cup tie in Week 32.

This means a delay for the Semi Finals, but there is still plenty of weeks to fit them in.


The Alternative?Is to let the results stand as all players had the same choices and information. All worked to the same set of data and there was no advantage to anyone.
I'm happy for this too.


Will take your feedback on this as well, let me know if you (genuinely) think its fair or unreasonable. Its your comp as much as mine.

A wonderfully even set of tips

Feb 25:

If you all have a look at the teams to pick from below (and the cup games) there is one obvious thing that stands out...
Only one Premier League game to pic from this weekend.

Why, well because the other match-ups were just not attractive enough. Too big a difference between the teams to make tipping anything other than pedestrian.

So instead there are other games to tip, and a large amount this week are teams from the depths of their divisions... relegation dogfights!

So here goes...


Cup Quarter Finals

This week its another double header of Cup action.
