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 2024-03-27, 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.)

Semifinals
----------
Jesper Lauridsen - Mark
Newcastle 1 - West Ham X2
Valencia 1 - Mallorca X2

Futbolmetrix - The Doctor
Manchester City 1 - Arsenal X2
Celta Vigo 1 - Rayo Vallecano X2

Repechage
---------
MH - Werner Pichler
Lorient 1X - Brest 2
Genoa 1 - Frosinone X2

Jesus Petry - milivella
Marseille 1X - PSG 2
Torino 1 - Monza X2

Sorry, Doc. I'm the home team and I get to pick. But I'll be nice and go for Pep's gang, so that you can have your beloved Arsenal (also Rayo Vallecano, for the record).

Dave's gonna pick Arsenal... I'm not even playing the game and I

I kind of knew that, just wanted official confirmation. By the way, why *don't* you join the game? We can then have three spiffy groups of three (or reintroduce the bots).

Mallorca. And Newcastle, but surely Mark isn't going to pick the EPL match.

Is that why FC Mark aren't winning the League any more? Are we becoming
too predictable?

Valencia

What a shame; Newcastle - West Ham would have been a brilliant UPT
semifinal.

LOL. I mean I’ve actually been to that area, and the whole touristic
identity of the region is tied to that term, and they even use it for their
local newspaper.

Indeed. The fact that you would have come out on top is a minor, irrelevant, detail.

Semifinals

Two boring 0-0 draws, decided on PKs for the away team. Mark has the opportunity to regain the top spot in terms of total number of titles, Doc is gunning for third place in total number of cups.

Repechage
MH 1-1 Werner Pichler(*) (Genoa 1-Frosinone X2)
Jesus Petry 2-0 milivella (PSG 2-Marseille 1X)

Werner and Jesus advance to the third place match, milivella and MH will fight it out to avoid the wooden spoon.

Today I watched the video for Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy" for the first
time (can you believe it?!), and in the first scene there's "MH" written
on the side of a building.
I _had_ to play MH next. The writing was literally on the wall.

Oops, it looks as if the good and honest gamemaster has made a mistake. Corrected results:

Results

Semifinals
Jesper Lauridsen (*) 0-0 Mark (Mallorca X2-Valencia 1)
Futbolmetrix 0-0 The Doctor (*) (Manchester City 1-Arsenal X2)


Repechage
MH 1-1 Werner Pichler(*) (Genoa 1-Frosinone X2)
Jesus Petry 2-0 milivella (PSG 2-Marseille 1X)

So it will be cup specialist Jesper to face off Doc in the final.
