Some questions i have been asked pre FUMBBL Cup. I present them here simply to help others, and in no way for people to laugh at, or mock, the afflicted.

When i clik the FUMBBL Cup link, there is no where to apply my team
From there click the 'tab' group members and use the drop down application tool.

How do i tell if my team is applied?
If it doesnt appear on the list using the application tool, it is already applied. Also the FC group will now show under groups on your FUMBBL coach page.

What time will the first draw be made?
22:00 bbtime Wednesdqay 2nd November, as it says just about everywhere. And there will only be one draw, unless i get it horribly wrong. Subsequent rounds are automatically generated.

Where is the server? I assume it is in Vancouver and running on Vancouvonian time.
Well, the server is in Sweden. if you type 'bbtime' in any FUMBBL IRC channel, it will tell you the server time. Which is CET or Central European Time. Frankly your Vancouver related obsession is your own affair, but do you assume everything on the net runs from vancouver?

Why is it not in Vancouver? What have you got against Vancouver, PC?
Nothing at all. Never been there. But neither has FUMBBL.

So, there will be TV catagories?
So, there won't. It is one huge KO draw. Could not possibly be simpler.

Can i have europeans only please. My bed time is 22:00 bbtime.
No. You must find a time to play whoever you are drawn against

Can I play with someone elses team?
No.

Can I have a good draw?
No PeteW, you can't. You'll just have to be incredibly lucky, as usual.

..and why is PeteW so lucky?
Because he tries to be.

Can I use an A team
No, A-teams are not deemed competitive, even the 80's style ones featuring Mr T.

So can i bring an L team? it says any team welcome.
It says: 'B teams invited to the FC, any team any size welcomed.' The first part of the sentance mattered too.

So all my missing players will come back and play?
No. they will miss the first game.

Why did you kick all but the biggest of the 7 teams I applied? It is the 3rd biggest that i want to play.
I'm sorry, i make a presumption of competance when assisting people. I assumed the 2010 TV team would maybe serve you better than the 1360 TV one.

How do I unapply my team?
Sadly only by PMing me, I then remove them personally.

Thanks you for kicking my team, I have changed my mind, can I apply it again
Yes.

Is it a problem if I have changed my mind yet again and want you to kick the team again, so i can apply something else?
No.It's fine.

Once the Tournament starts, can we play other games?
No.

So i can't play B anymore with the Tournament running?
Yes you can, your OTHER teams are free to play other games. Your Tournament team may not.

What sort of team do i need to win?
A lucky one.

Is there any Tournaments happening anytime soon?
Yes. There is the FUMBBL Cup X.

I am away for 3 weeks, from the day after the draw, is it Ok to still apply?
No, not really. keeping several hundred people waiting for 3 weeks isn't really on I'm afraid.

Gosh, you unfathered rapscallion(rough translation), How can you justify running a tournament and telling me i can't play in it?
the needs of the many outweight the needs of the few. Even one as special and warm as you.

If i get draw against a Claw Pomb team, must i play them?
Yes. Or fight them, your choice.

Where is the FUMBBL Cup taking place?
It's on the internet. If you leave your house, turn left, 3rd right and then just past the laundrette there is a little cafe. Ask there. Tell them 'John' sent you.

Can the price be used on any of your teams or just the team that won the FC?
Well, the price will be exacted on the team that enters, but the prize is usable on any team managed by that coach, anytime between games.

If a blackbox team plays a ranked team, which rating (black box or ranked) is effected?
Anecdotal evidence from last year suggests the team that is 'home', the team that joins first, determines which division the game counts as being played in.

if i get knocked out by people involved in a massive cheating ring can i have a free health potion?
No, but if you point out said cheating ring to myself and the admin team, we will be greatful. The net gain to you of this gratitude will be exactly nothing, but it might make you feel all warm and snuggly.

So, as always the question has to be asked.

Can the price be used on any of your teams or just the team that won the FC?

From my experience it won't be made earlier than the announced deadline, and then within the next two or three hours.

Updated, possibly for the last time, as i am not sure the questions i am getting now are as deadly sertious as the ones that inspired me to write this.
