Battrick Cup Part Four

[PY]

I'm into Round 7 so I won't be able to play for at least one week, maybe longer if things go well.

If there is enough interest then get the party started.

 

[Agent TBY]

Lost today, so I'm in.

 

[Bobisback]

Im in

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

I'm in, just got knocked out of my cup.

 

[Kweek]

in

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I'm in, and I want to be put in the same group as Collins.

 

[Scaly piscine]

I'll play, there's no point waiting for the nibbs and adam, could be another month before they get knocked out, or win their cup.

 

[Adamc]

You could just give us byes until the finals.

 

[Johnners]

I'm in... nothing like a bit of cannon fodder for the better teams

 

[ash chaulk]

You could just give us byes until the finals.

i think that is fair... if you were making groups of 4 have 2 groups of 2 with lower seeded teams with 3 teams? obviously nibbs and adam would be one of tops seeds

 

[The Baconator]

I'll play

Not really, me and adam were the finalists last time (I beat nibbs in the semi). Anyway none of this byes lark.

I don't see why we can't just wait for them. It's not as though we'll be in a rush to fit it all in - we're in week 7 aren't we? Say we start in week 11 - that gives us a good 7 weeks.

But if people do want to start ASAP, then I guess we could just make a group of 3 with 2 lower seeds, and assume that they've gone through... Or, if we were to be bold, we could have a "qualifying" tournament to narrow it down to 16? Like the weaker teams play off for spots in the big thing. How would people react to that? It'd give us something to do while we wait for Adam to bow out in embarrassing fashion.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Gives us 7 weeks *if* the 20 over stuff doesn't interfere and everyone actually gets the challenges in like they're supposed to. We'll shortly hit week 6, but I really don't see the point in waiting a month for 2 teams. It's boring anyway because we know one of those two will end up winning anyway because they've got the big advantage of starting in season 1.

 

[Jamee999]

Why not play the tournament, and then have the finalists + nibbs and adam in a Champions' Trophy (for lack of a better word)?

 

[Robertinho]

Let's not forget Viveash also started in Season 1...

Because it sounds like a bad idea, and it's not as though they are unbeatable (nibbs didn't even make the final last season, and I wouldn't be surprised if any number of teams beat either of those 2).

But yeah Scaly, I think it'd be better if we have the best teams in it, otherwise it's really no fun.

 

[Xuhaib]

Will you boys let me play

[brenoevo]
