The provisional results for the qualifying round of the Spike Bobberman Cup are in the image at the bottom of this post - click on the image to see the whole thing.
Although the aim of this qualifying round is to reduce the field to the 64 participants needed for the 1st round, in fact fewer than 64 predictors posted on the thread, giving me a different problem to solve.
Everyone who made a Cup prediction has gone through, even those who (like me
) failed to score a single point. If you predicted only 1 game on the Cup thread, I added points for your League prediction for the other game. I then sought out some wildcard entries from ast those predictors who posted only in the League. I won’t single them out by listing them, but they were a mixture of those who scored well and those with a good previous history of Cup participation who were possibly just in a rush when posting this time. So even if you think you won’t be, it’s worth checking the list below to see if you’re in the 1st round! If there’s anyone who feels particularly aggrieved by my decision-making, please do get in touch with me by the deadline below.
They were a really low-scoring couple of games; no-one got higher than a total of 7, so congrats to the 5 people who managed that score. Current cup-holder Greeno showed his champion’s credentials by being the only one to gain a point for Berry’s goal against Blackpool (a few others had Berry in brackets but in each case their 3 main choices were all in the squad so he didn’t count). And Lake and Smudger deserve honourable mention for predicting Powell to score for Stoke. Goodness knows, really, why more of us didn’t include him as he seems to score against us every single time we play them…
Hopefully this round has served as a good warm-up to get everyone into the swing of cup competitions
Any queries on the scores or anything else should be submitted to me by PM by the end of next week (Friday 18/11/22 at the latest), to enable me to confirm the results and make the draw for the next round. This will be played as soon as we return from the World Cup break, on Saturday 10th December when the Hatters are away at Middlesbrough, so look out for the thread for predictions which will be posted early in December.
