Hey everyone,

I have been away taking care of some health issues but I have gotten the all clear from my Doctors and am ready to start the process of doing the next Cup. So, let's get back at it!

This is the official sign-up thread for Cup XIII. It'll be a couple of weeks to get underway so let's have a target date to start Group Play for weekend of November 4th. The only thing that will change is a voluntary request for you to send me a sitemail of your roster. Simply click on the ROSTER tab and cut/paste your roster into the message. I'll use the info to balance out the groups. If you don't send me your roster, no big deal. This is a trial thing.

If you want to be in Cup XIII, you can post a message here or send me a sitemail.

Happy to hear that you are healthy, Jay.

That's great news, glad to hear that you're well.

FC Not Very Athletic
World 62

If you all would start spreading the news about a new tournament starting, that would be great.

Rushmore FC (World 59) is in again! Thanks Jay!

FC Cackalacky (World 79) is in. Thank you so much!

Welcome back Jay, Glad to hear you are doing better!!
Count me in:
FC Kingston World 80 - jmjtrain

Glad you are doing better! Count the Metro-Eagles in again.

Cool guys. Keep those entries coming.

Awesome!

Space Olympics would love to play again. World 92, I think?

Swamp City Dragons, Burnaby Hillbillies & Swampdragon United are ready to go

COS will join again

We are already at the minimum 16 teams needed to run a tournament so it's official. I'll create the tournament thread at the beginning of next week once we get closer.

Should be entertaining. I neglected to monitor finances. That $45million cushion I had 2 years ago went deep into the red. The ai was relentless. Lots of new faces on the roster. They're not very good at football though.

Yeah, when I lost my teams a couple years ago due to inactivity, my main German squad had almost $100 million in the bank. My new team has about $5 million...a bit of a different signing strategy.
