RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Fri Apr 14, 2017 9:00 am

DATE FOR FINAL REGISTRATION MONDAY 17-04-17

As the season approaches its victorious conclusion, with our GLORIOUS Clarets returning to The Premier League next Season, and our nearest and dearest on the cusp of OBLIVION, me and Spot intend running the Spot the Ball League Cup between now and the end of the current Season.

There will be 5 Rounds only.

Initially a Preliminary Round will decide who goes in to the 1st Round proper. If there are insufficient numbers then we may go straight into the 1st Round. If there are only TWO takers then we'll go straight to the FINAL

There will be 6 images each Round and the format of the images is slightly different. See below...

Is you IN or is you NOT ?

As usual, no entry fee and NO PRIZES other than the kudos of being "A WINNER BABY"

You do not have to be a current, or previous, Spot the Ball player to enter !

Date for the Preliminary Round to be announced by next Tuesday.

Get in there, you know you want to

It will probably aid your push for the top with lots of high balls being pumped into the air

Nothing yet. Just getting numbers together. Pointless doing anything without the players to take part

There's been a good response up to now.

Preliminary Round will probably be next Thursday or Friday. Watch this space !

Seems like a good idea to me. Yea, I'm up for it. Won't be around between Fri 28th April & Sat 6th May but I'll have been knocked out by then anyway!!

Barry_Chuckle · Post by **Barry_Chuckle** » Fri Apr 14, 2017 6:57 pm

oh good call dave, i'll also be away 29th to 6th.

If this causes a problem Ralph, leave me out.

It is NOT a problem. Me and Spot have been away (once) and Manuel usually has Wifi

Go on then count me in.
Looks like I might have to settle for the runner-up spot in the league,although I haven't given up the ghost just yet Buxton.
I just might have that luck of the cup again.

Surely, we can tempt some more in !!!

I'll be using a mixture of both experience and youth ( hoping the lad is about to play for me, to see if it was luck or good judgement on his part )

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 12:18 pm

Currently, we have 26 players.

32 would be a good number but, if we don't get any more, we will go straight into Round 1 with some players getting a Bye in the 1st Round.

Draw will be made Tuesday (Tomorrow)
