Welcome all back to the cheerful anarchy of the Crunched Cup This is where all the teams that failed to reach the playoffs in the Crunch Cup can go to play for the coveted "Golden Spoon" - prove that you truly are the first loser! The Crunched Cup will go on alongside with the Crunch Cup Playoffs, and will be a single eliminations type tournament - a playoff of sorts. All teams that have played in the current cup are available, and any teams that were reserves for the current cup can fill out the Crunched Cup if needed. Playing in the Crunched Cup is completely legit and allows your team to continue in the next Crunch Cup. (Your team is still allowed the two Crunch Them All games between the Crunched Cup and the next Crunch Cup. Your team is not allowed to play any games between the Crunch Cup and the Crunched Cup, though) Applications are non-binding, so statements of interest are appreciated. In a change from last season I'll say it is a "first come, first serve" scenario when it comes to applications - but any team ending up with a final three standing in their division will still have preference over all other teams. Confused? tl/dr - if you want to play more games after the regular season, but think you might not reach the playoffs, post in this thread. --- Waiting list: (up to 16 teams are easily accepted, and some of these teams might hit the regular playoffs, so keep signing up) Barninho - Reservoir Goats Barmution - Kroxford and Thesaurii Phunbaba - Pansies Panda with issues - Those Fancy Pants Nikolai II - Blonde Bombers Thorlacius - Farting Gamblers Rama Set - Deathseers Kvasilad - Darkblades Netsmurf - Xtreme Living Mercy Flush - Real Madread Coachman - Pimps Ging - Sesame Creeps Snotty - The Ra Ra Ra's Altashheth - Orphans crimsonsun - A Plague Upon Your House Rburton - Red Dwarfers Fallowheart - Barrowrun Blightstalkers Barristan - Amber pdarby - Ladies
Kroxford and Thesaurii are definately looking at a dreary season so far, so I might be a shoe-in this year too
Might as well sign up the Blonde Bombers again. They didn't get to play last season due to admission rules, and I might bow out again if it is overloaded (or if I by some miracle manage to beat the murder-dwarves coming next and have a shot at promotion) but I at least want to be on the list
Though Flamming Uranus and Stinkey got offended by the thought of not reaching the finals in crunch cup! We got them convinced! The Farting Gamblers say yes to this event
The Deathseers will put their name in. In 4th place now, but with a tough schedule ahead, so I am not holding my breath
I'm in! Haven't done the maths, but I'm pretty sure I'm already theoretically eliminated some games back.
Mathematically, there are no teams yet eliminated from the potential to reach the play offs by reaching 4th, as at the end of MD7, but there are some teams where those hopes are quite slim. Also there isn't anyone yet technically qualified either.
Here was I, thinking this post would be GB about to put the crunch in the crunched cup with the Experiment...
In many ways this is the superior BB CC event! I was cruely disqualified from this last season when my team somehow fluked a place in the 'other' playoff. Jose Moaninio would therefore like to enter Real Madread once again for this hallowed event (just to hedge his bets ofc)
A waiting list looking like this has been added to the OP: Waiting list: (up to 16 teams are easily accepted, and some of these teams might hit the regular playoffs, so keep signing up) Barninho - Reservoir Goats Barmution - Kroxford and Thesaurii Phunbaba - Pansies Panda with issues - Those Fancy Pants Nikolai II - Blonde Bombers Thorlacius - Farting Gamblers Rama Set - Deathseers Kvasilad - Darkblades Netsmurf - Xtreme Living Mercy Flush - Real Madread
At least one of us will have to score this time (probably when the other one falls asleep around T50 ).
