Hi Wreckage, what time today is the draw? Also, is there a black cup minor and major, or are all teams entered into the same competition? Just wondering because there do not seem to have been very many teams in the last few black cups.

All tournaments application deadlines are always Wednesdays, 10 pm.

There is a Ranked Minor starting up in the following week. Ranked teams are not eligible to the Black Cup and Black Box teams are not eligible to the Ranked Minor.

To get updated on the tournaments schedules, be sure to check the calendar. https://fumbbl.com/p/calendar

@Danish - When you view previous Black Cups there is a 'show all rounds' link above. That will expand to show you all the teams that entered.

@throweck - did that, lots more teams, makes much more sense :-) Thanks

@Wreckage, thanks for clarifying the time. Regarding the Black Cup Minor, I had noticed that this tournament was run 'FUMBBL Black Cup V Minor', but I guess that format was one-off for Black cup V?

I do not know what a Black Cup Minor is supposed to be, thus can't give you any information about it.

Black Cup V was run as a modified double elimination tournament. The "Black Cup V Minor" was second chance for teams that had gotten 2 or 3 wins before initially being eliminated. It was a one off modification of the Black Cup.

People complained about it and it was not done again - so just ignore it :)

I am BillBrasky & I approve the Black Cup.

That is all.

Does your team have a dp?

If so, who would you rather foul - a ST1 oneturner or a ST5 wardancer?

Tough choice, I know.

Easy answer: Join the Black Cup, play my Luckville Dodgers and you get to foul both!!

@Rawlf: I can't think of a better reason! :D

I heard there is only 37 applicants. Should be an easy draw.
