What to do
-----------

Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away? In any case:
remember that it's single-leg, and a draw qualifies the team with the X
on its side.

*Home*
- Before Wednesday 2024-03-20, 23:59 GMT
- Pick one team from each of the two matches.

*Away*
- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked his
teams) and before kickoff of the first match
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if he hasn't picked
any team, you have free choice)
- Their opponents will represent your opponent

*ATTENTION: NEW RULE*: If the away player doesn't pick any team before his/her deadline, the home player will be represented by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams.
If the home player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the away player can pick two teams (one from each match), and he/she will be represented by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams.. If nobody picks a team, teams are assigned randomly.)

1. Cincinnati
2. Bay FC (only the second competitive match in that team’s history, and
already deciding a UPT tie)

Fire just had an amazing comeback win, so I will go with them.
Rain is my second choice. Does anyone know if the rumour that "Rain
City Bitch Pigeons" was actually a leading choice for the name for the
Seattle NHL team has any substance to it?

What's wrong with Uruguay? Penarol are playing Nacional this weekend.
I approve of the NWSL though.

The web-site I read that on seem to have changed their minds about
that. Apparently Nacional are playing Progreso and Penarol aren't
playing. Penarol v Nacional is now on March 29 at 19:00 UTC.

We could have had Wolfsburg - Bayern, though.

Such confusion is unacceptable. I think this requires the whole season
57 to be cancelled.

Uruguay would not have been considered for the Cup games anyway, so this is irrelevant. Also, why would you want to cancel the whole of season 57 now that you have a strong chance of winning your second double wooden spoon?
