Please find below the results of the 1st Round of the Spike Bobberman Cup. Congratulations to all those making the 2nd round, and commiserations to those whose Cup campaigns end here.
A real mixed bag of results on a hard-to-predict game meant the vast majority of ties were decided on points with only a few going to penalties. Chuba Akpom did quite a few people a favour of that vital extra scorer point, as did Jordan Clark to a lesser extent, but ultimately it was a day for cautious pessimists!
Top scorer overall was Shatter2 with 9 (correct HT & FT and 2 scorers), closely followed by Lizard and Jnrsolihullhatter with 8. Shatter and Dubaihatter were the only players to correctly predict not one but two scorers! In possibly the shock of the round, the current cup holder, Greeno, lost out to Sphatter, and of other recent former winners we also lost Hovehatter and Hatfieldhatter, although Biscot Boy does progress at the expense of MKhat.
Some explanatory housekeeping:
A few players failed to predict and scored 0. If up against an opponent who had scored a blank with their posted prediction, of course the opponent went through on penalties. There was only 1 tie in which both players failed to post, and following the precedent of previous seasons, both have been eliminated and a lucky loser (the highest scoring losing player) progresses instead. Congratulations Casselhatter, this is you!
For transparency, Rutlandhatter's prediction for herself and Music was slightly after the deadline, but Rutland was up against someone who did not predict at all, and Music ultimately lost out to the high-scoring Dubaihatter, so I've allowed them both to stand.
Please check your score and let me know by PM of any discrepancies, objections or queries by the end of Friday next (16th December). The 2nd round will be played on our FA Cup 3rd Round tie at home to Wigan Athletic on Saturday 7th January and the draw and predictions thread will go up around a week beforehand.
