Hi folks - after lengthy consultations with Rick and Jeremy we have amended the cup format quite a bit from previously intimated.
The Group Stage weeks will be 4,6 and 8!
All 37 group winners will be given a bye to Round 2.
All 37 2nd placed will progress to Round 1 as will 17 lucky losers from the remaining teams who accumulate the most points during cup weeks.
This will give us a 1st Round of 54 teams. This will be a free draw (no seeding) 27 will progress from this knockout phase to join the 37 teams already in Round 2.
In Round 2, the 32 best 1st placed teams will be seeded 1 to 32 like a regular tennis draw. Ranking will be based on match wins first and then points accumulated. There will be no further draws after this so everyone will know their path to glory and what obstacles may lie in the way.
I'll update the spreadsheet ASAP to show the first set of fixtures for each group.
