So I think what we currently have is the following.
1. Free to enter league.
2. £10 League. This will have a H2H knockout Cup and a Europa Cup attached to it. Once you enter the league, you are automatically entered in the cups.
3. £25 H2H league. Same format as last year. No cups.
4. £50 league. This will have a H2H knockout Cup and a Champions League attached to it. Once you enter the league, you are automatically entered in the cups.
If people are confused on the cups, they will be fairly simple and players need do nothing extra.
Say we get 32 players, (last year we had 31), all the players are put in a hat and drawn into 16 H2H ties. The highest scoring player in each tie progresses to the next round.
The Europa Cup/Champs League will follow the same format apart from the fact that teams will initially be drawn into groups of 4, where the top 2 teams will qualify after a round robin. I will be providing some small overlay for the cups, depending on amount of runners.
In the event of an uneven number of runners, we will utilise byes/prelim rounds as necessary.
We may ask someone neutral and of unimpeachable integrity (hello MereNovice
) to do all the draws.
