As mentioned in the Rock Hard Championship Challenge Cup thread, I was thinking of dropping the Rocking League Cup and there were only two posts against the idea. So 21 other managers didn't really care. As I have a lot of updating to do I was thinking about how to liven up the Rocking League Cup, with a change of format. I've spent this afternoon working on an outline and just have to see if I can get it into the fixture generating program somehow. http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/rocking.htm Starting on Gameweek 24 the cup is going to rock, like a real cup should; with some tricky customisation: We'll find out who the real winners are by turning losers into winners and seeing if the winners can survive without being losers. A cross between a ladder and double elimination bracket; with a Rock Hard twist. Gameweek 24 sets the ball rolling with Matches 1-12; where match 1 is the two bottom seeds and Match 12 the two top seeds. There's four gameweeks to jostle for a winning position before eliminations begin. ============== Knockout Fixtures ============== (If there's a draw, the 'home' team gets a +1 bonus and wins). Gameweek 24 Match 1 Match 2 Match 3 Match 4 Match 5 Match 6 Match 7 Match 8 Match 9 Match 10 Match 11 Match 12 Gameweek 25 13: W1-W2 14: W3-W4 15: W5-W6 16: W7-W8 17: W9-W10 18: W11-W12 19: L1-L2 20: L3-L4 21: L5-L6 22: L7-L8 23: L9-L10 24: L11-L12 Gameweek 26 25: W13-W14 26: W15-W16 27: W17-W18 28: L13-L14 29: L15-L16 30: L17-L18 31: W19-W20 32: W21-W22 33: W23-W24 34: L19-L20 35: L21-L22 36: L23-L24 Gameweek 27 37: W25-W26 38: W27-W31 39: W32-W33 40: L25-L26 41: L27-L31 42: L32-L33 43: W28-W29 44: W30-W34 45: W35-W36 46: L28-L29 47: L30-L34 48: L35-L36 Gameweek 28 49: W37-W38 50: W39-W40 51: W41-W42 52: L37-L38 53: L39-L40 54: L41-L42 55: W43-W44 56: W45-W46 57: W47-W48 58: L43-L44 OUT L45, L46, L47, L48.

I'm glad you waited until I corrected two small mistakes (L61-L61 and L71-L71) before you quoted the full fixtures. I confused myself a plenty while trying to put it all together on seperate scraps of paper, then trying to deciper all the scrawls and matching the letters and numbers that looked like they'd work while looking back over the ones that didn't but probably could as well.
I suppose this is another Cup competition that the Jones boys can take home the silver and the crystal. Michel, I'm amazed at how you figure these competitions out. Well done!
Seeding For seedings, we'll use the last gameweek's scores (as posted in the forum); for a rough indication of current form. Those level on scores are then sorted alphabetically. GAMEWEEK 22 Yellowcake Phantoms 75 (Top Seed) TVD 70 Aviators 65 Raytown Rangers 61 Kopite Juniors 60 Rockville Gunners 60 Tally road AFC 59 Class Acts XI 58 FC Springfield 53 Rat Face Villans 50 AC Lokomotiv 45 EAC raiders 45 In off the post 45 Windsor Wanderers 45 Gunners320 38 LSG Cosmos 37 Pork Soda 36 Nocturnal United 35 VegasVirgins 32 FC Abbinton Park 30 Cal FC 27 ColdDogSoup 27 Green Onions 22 Yermom 19 (Bottom Seed) We need to turn these upside down to get the first fixtures.
Gameweek 24 Inputing the names into the placeholders, the opening fixtures are generated thus: Gameweek 24 1 Yermom - Green Onions 2 ColdDogSoup - Cal FC 3 FC Abbinton Park - VegasVirgins 4 Nocturnal United - Pork Soda 5 LSG Cosmos - Gunners320 6 Windsor Wanderers - In off the post 7 EAC raiders - AC Lokomotiv 8 Rat Face Villans - FC Springfield 9 Class Acts XI - Tally road AFC 10 Rockville Gunners - Kopite Juniors 11 Raytown Rangers - Aviators 12 TVD - Yellowcake Phantoms Good Luck! http://www.1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2006/Rocks/ Now to get the Rock Hard Championship Challenge Cup updated.
The Rocking League Cup's Future If the Rocking League Cup plays out well, is proved popular, and there are 24 drafted teams again next season then I propose the tournament continue between the three leagues thus: At Gameweek 3 update: Seed the 24 teams according to 'total early-season points' (with teams level on points then sorted alphabetically). Final on Gameweek 18 (before Christmas). [Teams then have the Christmas Cup of Good Cheer to look forward to]. At Gameweek 22 update: Seed 24 teams according to 'that week's scores' (with teams level on points then sorted alphabetically). Run Cup Gameweeks 23-37. Gameweek 38: Play between both winning finalists for the Gold Cup. (If both finals won by same team - Gold Cup is automatic). Play between both losing finalists for the Crystal Vase. (If runner-up twice - Crystal Vase is automatic). If both Gold Cup and Crystal Vase are automatic, play for Community Shield. If the finals were between the same two managers, with each winning once, winner of Gameweek 38 gets the Gold Cup and runner up the Crystal Vase. Community Shield is not contested! If one manager automatically wins the Gold Cup or Crystal Vase, they will be playing the 'winner of the other game' (in a three-way tie) for the Community Shield. What are the odds on all trophies going to the Jones family?
Re: Gameweek 24 Plus we might also be playing eachother in the Sand league thirty point cup semi-final!

Re: The Rocking League Cup Starts to Rock May have saved the gaffer's job for a week, a lot of discontent at ColdDogSoup FC Headquarters as we drop out of the promotion spots to 4th Nikkala refuses to release transfer money, the "Board" has voiced discontent so gaffer Stamford the Lion ate them...
Re: The Rocking League Cup Starts to Rock If this week's scores aren't adjusted, Sir Grandpa Hal has used the Rocking Cup Derby to best Father of Twins in the derby rematch of the Cup of Christmas Cheer Championship Finals.
