As advised in my mail on 25th August, I was getting a couple of rounds of games out the way to let the league table take some shape. I have now done the draw for both the Super 6 League Cup and the Super 6 Knockout cups. Both draws were seeded, based on league placings, as at 5th September. By the way, there is a midweek set of Super 6 games this week on the Champions League games – don’t forget to keep an eye out for midweek rounds!
League Cup
For the League Cup, it was straight forward, 1st into Group A, 2nd into Group B, etc. This has resulted in 3 groups of 6 teams and 5 groups of 5 teams. Each team will play each other twice. The full draw and fixtures can be viewed here. You will go head to head, as per the fixtures and your score that weekend will determine your score against your opponent. The winner will receive £60, with the runner-up getting £20.
Full list of dates is below:
The group games will be played on:
Round 1 – 17th September

Knockout Cup
The draw was based on 43 teams. The top 21 teams in the league (as at 5th September) were given a bye to the 2nd round. The other 22 teams have to play an extra round – on 5th November – the 11 winners will join the other 21 teams in the next round. Full fixtures and draw can be viewed here. The winner will receive £60, with the runner-up getting £20. In the event of a draw, a replay will be played the following week. In the event of a drawn replay then the tie will be determined by the number of correct results, followed by the nearest guess to the Golden Goal.
