Here starteth the sign-up for the elusive and highly coveted Universal Cup. Like a rare pokemon its too hot to handle, too cold to hold, and, as legend tells it, those who wield it become immediately 300% more attractive to the opposite sex (i myself have no need for the latter benefit as i'm already knee deep...
Anyway, i digress, here is a break down of the format:-
The competition should run the whole of the 47 day season. Once 32 teams have signed up here on this thread, myself and Davy Winter (manager of Winter Milan) will draw them into their group stages. Via the magic of the internet, zeroes, ones and electricity you at home can witness first hand our absolute ineptitude for public speaking
The live draw will (hopefully) be uploaded to our Facebook page. It will be a video of Davy and I, likely doing something akin to pulling names out of hat only bevvied up... what could go wrong?
So click the link below and give us a like and share, because, what harm could it do? And we might even recruit a few new managers in the process
https://www.facebook.com/fansofsundayleague/?fref=tsOnce the draw is done we will have 8 groups of 4 (played in 4 leagues of 8, in the same style the Champions League is using) and games will be played once every 3 days. This gives me a chance to periodically post the group standings, build suspense and just generally prolong the fun
The top 2 from each group qualify for the 16 team knockout to crown the Universal Cup champion. This will take 4 days so if the group stages finishes around days 40-42 then if everyone is on the ball we can make it so the final is played on day 47!...
This is all HIGHLY theoretical and if it works ill be damn impressed with myself, however, if it doesn't it'll be a Hell of a competition i promise you that
So, without further ado nor gilding of the lily lets get the ball rolling with the sign-up...
