JFG Cup

A Cup Competition?” I hear you cry. “What’s this all about then?”. Well, are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll try and explain.

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?

Lovely.
