I still have a bit of formatting to do but the Quarterfinals are now underway. Because of the marathon First Round, I'm not going to set a time frame for games to be scheduled until the end of the week. I want to make sure everyone knows the quarters have begun before the clock starts ticking.

The Bums Bracket has its last scheduled game of their quarters tomorrow as #1 Not Very United and #8 Metropolitan Eagles play their return game with United holding a 1-0 advantage.

#1 Not Very United earned its way into the Bums Semifinals after they jumped out to a 3-1 aggregate against #8 Metropolitan Eagles and then held on in the closing minutes. Pasqual Enríquez had stretched the lead to two goals when his wicked strike in the 33rd minute sailed past Screaming Eagles goalie Dickie Grosskopf as United was in cruise control, dominating play and generally pushing the Swedish team around. All that changed in the 83rd minute when veteran Mexican defender Pancho Camaces tripped his mark, the referee deciding it was to prevent a scoring opportunity which meant a straight red card. The Metro Eagles scored off the ensuing free kick with a Greguska Kokes header but ran out of time to generate another quality scoring chance. The game ended up a 2-2 draw, giving United the series by a score of 3-2

I'll set up the semis by noon.

The Bums Semis are now set and scheduling can start at any time.
