If the thrill of the weekly league update isn’t enough for you,
then maybe the JFG Cup Competition may help to quench your restlessness.
If it doesn’t then may I suggest a visit to your local GP? The Cup
Competition is also another way to keep the interest of those managers
that for reasons unknown have found themselves in the wrong half
of the league, and to give them a level playing field on which to
still have a chance of glory. By entering the JFG League you automatically
enter the same team into the Cup Competition. What a Brucie Bonus!
Essentially, two managers will be picked at random out of a hat
(making sure that the magician’s rabbit has first been removed)
to play each other in a head-to-head, most goals wins competition
over the course of some knockout rounds. The number of rounds does
depend on the number of people in the league and will be confirmed
at the start of the competition. The full rules can be found here.
This year who knows what will happen - will it be a straight knockout
or will there be the joy of group stages first? It all depends on
the amount of people that enter so we can't rule out drawing Brazil
in the first round or dodgy trips to the Ukraine just yet.
Teams will be randomly drawn against each other using our highly
technical draw machine. Ok so it's an old Nescafe tin that's been
tarted up but you get the idea. Hey, I might even put on some white
gloves to do it. You'll then play against each other, head-to-head
over the given weekend, and if you score more goals than the other
manager you win and go through to the next round.
Simple huh? Oh and did I forget to mention there's a trophy and
some money in it for the winner?
