Great idea Lambini! Just one suggestion, can we establish a deadline for the other nation to accept the game proposal?

Things actually are pretty well set. I might be slipping in one more team or two but I think that we have a great field set up9

Ok I am officially closing the window. Some matchups have confirmed, others have not, and I even took my team (South Africa) off the bye line so Hanguk can participate. Y I hope this still can come together, but this is a lot to ask. IF you are not confirmed with your opponents for the first round which will be Monday I0-21 please do so asap. IF you took a invite but have second thoughts PLEASE let me know so I can maybe reshuffle the deck. This also applies to those who might have challenged the wrong team for this week.

Gentleman some of you can't help but put the proverbial fly in the ointment! Alas we are at the point of no return so things going off as best I can pull it off, but man is it going to look ragged!

The top post in this thread which has the matchups and seedings has been updated to reflect who has confirmed and who was not confirmed. If you would like to be in the tournament please let me know and then please start reaching out to the teams who have not had their matchups confirmed to see where you can be used as a substitute.

I may well condense this into two tiers, but let me take a look at who's left.

A bit of a reboot is in order as at this point only 10 teams remain. But with three more scrimmages left in the season there is just enough time to rework matters into two tiers. This will mean two five team fields. And I am throwing out the previous designations. But those who remain will play for two separate trophies to honor a couple of those who are not longer part of the game.


This first group will compete for a prize named for perhaps one of the most divisive people to ever play this game. Seedings are not a reflection of rank, everyone has to go somewhere !


The Wardo cup challenge

#1 Misr BYE

VS winner of (hmmmmm)

#4 Senegal vs #5 Malaysia oops! Malaysia to play Misr next eeek

#2 Tournes vs #3 crna gorna confirmed


Our second classification will honor one of the great winners in the history of this game, a team who collected so many USA cups he was able to use them as doorstops.

The kings drive ballers classic

#1 CZECH REPUBLIC BYE

vs winner of


# 4 Hanguk vs #5 Nippon confirmed

#2 Senegal vs #3 Prathet Thai CONFIRMED


Oh And one more thing....those with the 2-3 seedings are to play each other in a two leg home and home with the winner determined by aggregate, however those winners will be in the final of their respective grouping. Yeah this is my evil Mr,. McMahon caveat but it's my tournament after all ;)
