Alas, I will probably go out in the first round, drawn against somebody 100 places above me in England.

I have, however, won the cup in a past life, but I'll keep who I was to myself to add to the mystique surrounding Shand's boys.

Good luck to everyone who actually has a chance!

Good luck Mr Shand, always good to hear people repping d3- also, welcome back!

ROUND ONE SUMMARY
What a fascinating start to the cup! 3 EBBL teams were knocked out in the first round, we saw games going into overtime and we also saw an overhaul of minutes from some teams to try succeed in their league and the cup.
Firstly, a massive congratulations goes out to the 111th seed in England, Fenland Foxes on beating the EBBL side, Club Deportivo San Andres, 96-84. This kind of result illustrates the magic of the cup! The other EBBL teams to depart were Sabre of Valiente who were knocked out by Wrose Warriors seeing the latter prevail by 16 points and The White Tigers whose BuzzerBeater career is coming to an end. Other results saw a strong division II team in Gwent Galacticos being knocked out by Carolina BC who has thrown up more than a few surprises in recent cup history. The Myrmidons defeated Whetstone Wizards by the score of 123-61 as well as Realdemardi and Berinsfield Hornets prevailing in the division II matchups.

The next round hasn't really thrown up any highlight matches but the pick of the games has to be M Dogs of the EBBL travelling to division II team, Streatham Sonics. Other interesting matchups is a division II clash between WTK Trail Blazers and Varnalesos as well as Gauson facing a tough trip OLYMPIACOS 1925.
Good luck to all teams involved next week.

Leagues are as follows:
EBBL (13/16)
II.1 (15/16)
II.2 (12/16)
II.3 (14/16)
II.4 (14/16)

ROUND TWO SUMMARY
The second round belonged to the bookies with all the teams expected to progress getting the job done. M Dogs of the EBBL defeated division II opponent, Streatham Sonics by a score of 111-79. The division II match up between Varnalesos and WTK Trail Blazers proved to be an enthralling encounter with both sides evenly matched throughout the game with Varnalesos edging it by a single bucket. Gauson had no problems progressing against division III team, OLYMPIACOS 1925, beating them by 32 points.

The third round will showcase a handful of fixtures that are bound to catch the eye with the majority of the bots departing last round. There should be some thoroughly entertaining contests next Thursday with the pick of the games between EBBL side, London Lemurs travelling to a very strong division II team in Bethnal Green Erks however there are many more games to look after for with five EBBL teams travelling to strong opposition. Tide of Fire travel to 53rd seed Baro Kiaules, Los Mikitoast play 66th seed, Shazam, Tatatallfella play 68th seed, The Raptures, new jersey2 will host Kojot Team and Gauson will again be tested with a trip to The Arrelles. There are also two division II matchups to keep in mind with Wrose Warriors playing Vector BC and Lusitania Brasil All Stars hosting the Yellow Penguins.

Good luck to all teams next week.

That's a bit of an unsporting draw at this stage of the competition....

There are some fantastic match ups next round considering we're only in the third round.

Yes, unfortunately your on the wrong end of a draw.

ROUND THREE SUMMARY
The third round draw saw the departure of a lot of the BOT's and more importantly, some mouthwatering fixtures to keep all of the English community entertained. The games didn't manage to disappoint either and a congratulations goes out to Bethnal Green Erks, of Division II.2 for defeating EBBL side, London Lemurs by a score of 92-65. The game between Baro Kiaules and Tide of Fire was very closely contested up until the 4th quarter before ToF showed their class to go on a scoring frenzy and defeat Baro by 21 points. The other highlight matchups saw the EBBL teams stamp their authority on the cup with Gauson, Tatatallfella, new jersey2 and Los Mikitale knocking out lower league opposition.

The fourth round sees some appealing fixtures and also brings up the first EBBL contests of the cup which will see holders Tatatallfella host Durham Wasps and Halucagenic Dayglo pack his bags for a trip to A Dogs. Another fixture that contains an EBBL team that'll catch the eye is 8th seed The Myrmidons take on the BC Wild Hawks who are ranked 27th. With little bots remaining, there are also some engaging division II matchups such as:
Wlodawianka (24) v Stinkilemons (16), Spikey Pumpkins (38) v JR Knights (30), Triximos Tricks (19) v Lusitania Brasil All Stars (36), KD allstars (43) v Margate Marauders (45) and Lineagers (53) v Kotwa (41).

Good luck to all teams next week as we rapidly approach the business end of the tournament.

Leagues are as follows:
EBBL (12/16)
II.1 (11/16)
II.2 (9/16)
II.3 (11/16)
II.4 (9/16)
