CHAMPION of the
SUPER CUP RULES This is a Round based Tournament where each Round needs to complete before we commence a new Round of Games.
It is also a fast moving Tournament, the
SLOWEST MAPS are
BANNED to allow steady progression through the Tourney.
SURVIVAL PHASE Each Round each player will play 3 Games against the same opponent. 1 Game on each of the Players
HOME MAP and 1 Game on a
RANDOM MAP .
The
SOLE OBJECT of the
SURVIVAL PHASE is to reach the
KO stages. When we get to the
KO Phase,
POINTS become meaningless! Up to that Phase, Points accumulation will only get you
BYE's to get closer to the
KO's! But these
BYE's become
CRUCIAL . Because players will
FALL while you automatically advance to the next Round!
The
SURVIVAL PHASE continues until
ONLY 32 Players ....or less
SURVIVE! HOME MAP - Each entrant selects a HOME MAP at the start of the Tournament. This will remain as your HOME MAP for every Round.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BoBSC: Build Up to the Cup! Well, the waiting has passed. 168 Players have entered the Band of Brothers Super Cup! We will battle through 2 Tournament phases........ -A Survivor Phase where the sole object is to SURVIVE until only 32 Players remain ALIVE! -And a KNOCK-OUT Phase to take us from 32 Players to a CUP CHAMPION! -And that Champion receives a 10 League PROMOTION in the Super League! Delivered in incriments if it is not possible for you to take a 10 League Promotion in 1 Season! So if you started late in the Super League or are a New Player, this will propel you like a ROCKET to the Top Leagues! If you are already near the Top, it will insure you stay there for many Seasons to come! SURVIVOR PHASE - ROUND 1: Each Round in the Survivor Phase consist of 3 Games! 1 Round on each Players HOME Map (Played like in the Super League) and 1 Round on the Randomly selected RANDOM MAP (Played SUNNY). And this is slightly different from the Super League. The Random Map is DRAWN randomly and everyone plays the same RANDOM Map for their 3rd game! And, for Round 1, The RANDOM MAP is.................................................................... Wales -You only need to WIN 1 Game out of 3 to progress into Round 2. You don't pick up any points though, but you progress as a SURVIVOR! -Win by 2-1 and you progress with 1 Point. -Win 3-0 and you progress with 2 Points. -LOSE 0-3 and you are ELIMINATED, regardless of how many points you have! In Round 2, there will be BYES up for Grabs for the Tourney Leaders. This is based on points and the lowest duration of the Total Game times in Round 1. So to be in with a chance of a Bye, you will need to win 3-0 and do it QUICKLY! SCOREBOARDS: Okay Troops, another Link to add to your Bookmarks, this will allow you to track your progress through the Tourney 'LIVE': -1st Tab is 'Scoreboard' - Currently set into 'Top Half' (red) and 'Bottom Half' (green), Based on current Super League of Player. - Seed is how HIGH you are RANKED versus other Players. - Seed 1 is HIGHEST RANKED player in Tourney (smegal69 who is in the Bottom Half of the Round 1 Draw as he has just started recently in the Super League). Nobody in the 'Top Half' will want to draw smegal69 'The other Lord of Your Ring'. - Seed 168 is vinpod. The Dark Horse to take down 'The Cup' - 'Next Match' is also shown. You play the opponent with the same 'Next Match' Number. But this is clearer on the 2nd Tab 'Draw/Results' - 'Draw/Results' is the Draw for the Current Round! 'LIVE' Results will start to appear here when Games finish! ROUND 1 FEATURED GAMES: 84 Match Ups take place in Round 1. HIGHLIGHTS are shown on ESPN 5, at 4AM the last Tuesday of every month, so be sure not to miss them. Until then...........here are the TOP MATCH UPS of Round 1: shoop76 2680 Treasures Of Galapagos 5th Seed Premier V DominatED 2154 Napoleonic Europe 44th Seed L24 OOOFFFFTTTTT! Shoop76 'The Goat' gets a HORRENDOUS Rd 1 Draw. The 5th Seed to win the entire Tourney comes up against the 44th Seed DominatED. And Ed ain't no Mug. A late starter in the Super League (Only reason he is in the 'Bottom Half' of Rd1 Draw), He is just finishing his 1st Season and you guessed it, He SCUDDED League 24 with ease! Could we see a SHOCK 1st Round EXIT for 'The Goat'.................... Matt2007 2348 Salem's Switch 25th Seed Championship V anonymus 2319 Feudal War 31st Seed L22 LOL, there are some CRACKING TIES which I promise were drawn RANDOMLY! 'Super' Matt2007 who is plying his trade in the CHAMPIONSHIP and narrowly missed out on Promotion to the PREMIER.........will need to be on his very best form to avoid an EARLY EXIT from 'The Cup'. anonymous is Ranked 2319, only 29 Points lower than Matt. Started late in the Super League and is in a 3 way MEXICAN STAND OFF to take down his 1st League Title with another 2 Players ranked 2000+ and 2600+. So 100% anonymous ain't going to be intimidated playing 'Super' Matt! allanxo 2045 Cricket 60th Seed L4 V smegal69 2941 Stalingrad 1st Seed The Other LOYR L20 smegal69 'The Other LOYR' is only in his 2nd Season in the Super League. After a slow start in his 1st Season he is off and running, having DESTROYED Super League 20. Ranked 2941 at the start of the Tourney, he is the HIGHEST RANKED player to have entered 'The Cup' and is our TOP SEED! allanxo is the unlucky 'TOP HALF' Player to be playing him! allnxo ain't no slouch either! He has already won 3 Super League Titles and is still fighting it out for 1 League Promotion to Super League 3 this Season. This promises to be an absolute BELTER! weaselshane 2032 2014 World Cup 61st Seed Premier V adban 2717 Berlin 1961 3rd Seed L23 'The Stoater' versus 'The Bunker'. Our 2nd Premier Player to appear in the FEATURED MATCH UPS! weaselshane has just completed a rough Season in the Premier. He got MOON DOORED down to League 02. The very last thing he wanted, was a tough Round 1 Draw in 'The Cup'...............And sure as dammit, he draws adban 'The Bunker', 3rd HIGHEST Ranked Player in the entire Tournament! And if things couldn't get worse, adban has just SCUDDED his 1st ever Super League. Well, I don't mind saying this, the smart money is all going on adban. Shane is the HOT FAV to be the 1st Premier Player KO'd from 'The Cup'! Nimrods Son 1901 Baltic Crusades 83rd Seed L6 V Vinpod 897 Yugoslavia 168th Seed L25 And the 'Dark Horse' to take down 'The Cup' Vinpod has walked into a very tough Round 1 Draw! Nimrods Son is RANKED over 1000 Points HIGHER than Vinpod. Nimrod will also fancy his chances of making it to the KO stages. Can Vinpod pull off the SHOCK OF THE CENTURY by sending Nimrod spiralling out of 'The Cup' in Round 1........ONLY TIME WILL TELL! steenh 1383 New World 152nd Seed L8 V konoronok 923 Classic 166th Seed L25 And 2 Outsiders were drawn to play each other in our FINAL FEATURED MATCH UP! steenh is riding high in the Super League having made it up to League 10 (Double Muntered this Season though). Seeded 152nd from 168 Players he comes up against the 166th Seed konoronok who has just scored a DOUBLE DUNT from Super League 25 up to Super League 23. This will be interesting, but gauranteed at least 1 of the Tournament Outsiders will be progressing to Rd2! Okay Troops, check out the 'Draw/Results' Tab on 'The Cup' Scoreboards to see who you are playing! Anila8 will be setting up the games on Wednesday at the latest. In every Round, 'Top Half' Players from the Draw will always play the RED ARMY' and 'Bottom Half' Players from the Draw will always be the 'GREEN ARMY'.

BoBSC: Round 1 Review / Round 2 Preview WOW, what a 1st Round of 'The Cup'!!!!! 168 Players Entered 'The Cup', they only had to win 1 Game out of 3 (with 1 of the 3 Games being on thier FAV Map)........BUT................. 24 Players FAILED to do so..........So in Round 1 of the Cup.................. 14.3% of the Runners have fell at the 1st Hurdle................... Let's have a look at som of the BIG FISH to fall: - 'Alaka' Joshzam is the 1st PREMIER LEAGUE RISK PLAYER who spirals out of The Cup in Round 1. He fell to a Super League 13 Player who was no less than 900 Points LOWER RANKED! egerskydiver was the Player to cause the ROUND 1 UPSET! - Pittman 'The Gorkha' was the 2nd HIGHEST RANKED Player to bite the Round 1 Bullet! Pre-Tournament he was Ranked a HUGE 2215. But he got a Tough Rd 1 Draw, coming up against 'The Tiger' Handsomewhitecat who was Ranked 2057 Himself. 'The Tiger' Mauled him 3-0 in a fine display of CUP RISK! - murphy16, with a Pre-Tournament Rank of 2139 is another Big Fish who doesn't progress further than the opening Round! The Super League 03 Player was PUMPED 3-0 by a player who was playing in Super League 11 at the start of the Cup. It's DJ1985 who moves into Round 2 of the Cup on the MAX 2 points. Murphy16 heads back to The League with his tail between his legs! ROUND 2 PREVIEW: 168 Entrants become 144 Survivors! That means there are 3 BYES up for Grabs (1 for every 40 players starting a Round). 3 Players who will move into Round 3 without having to put their Neck on the Line in Round 2! These go to the 3 Players currently leading 'The Cup'. The 3 Players who are on MAX POINTS from Rd 1 and who won all their games in the shortest duration of all the MAX POINTERS: kcsam87 70th Seed furbiz 45th Seed Gurada 76th Seed 144 Survivors minus 3 BYES leaves 141 Players to compete in Round 2. BUT......That's an ODD Number. So the NEXT BEST player on the Scoreboard takes the ODD MAN BYE to also move into Round 3 without haveing to play another Match Up! wombat4 123rd Seed Is the player that get's it! He completed all 3 Round 1 games in a total duration of 6.07984 Days. It should be noted that the next Best player was Tviorr, but as his games lasted 6.41983 Days, he needs to run the gauntlet of Round 2. How GUTTED will he be if he is KO'd from the Tourney this Round! In summary: - 24 Players March onwards into Round 2 on MAX POINTS (2 Points). - 58 Players take 1 Point from Round 1 into Round 2. - 62 Players are SURVIVORS. Not good enough to get a point in Rd 1, but they did win 1 game to crawl into Rd 2 battered and bruised! Round 2 Draw is a Random Draw between the 'Top Half' of the Scoreboard and the 'Bottom Half' of the Scoreboard. The split comes with abouyt 3/4's of the Players on 1 Point being in the 'Top Half' and 1/4 of the 1 Pointers being in the 'Bottom Half'. TOP HALF Players to AVOID: There are 37 Players Ranked 2000+ in the Top Half of the Draw! Any one of them is a bad draw! But: - 'The Mouth' Clanlord Carl, who hold the Record for 7 Straight League Wins is Seeded 2nd to take down the Entire Super Cup! He only managed 1 Point in Round 1 so he will be out to take MAX POINTS from Rd 2! - adban 'The Bunker' was a late starter in the Super League. But Ranked 2717 Pre-Tournaments he is Seeded 3rd to win the 1st Cup! Again, he could only score 1 point in Rd 1 so is on the warpath! - Ukey 'The Great War Champ, A 2 Yr Tourney that never Ended!' is our 6th Seed! He did score MAX POINTS in Rd 1. So another KO in Round 2 would give him a great chance of BYE in Round 3 so BEWARE 'The Great War Champ'! BOTTOM HALF Players to AVOID: There are some SUPERSTARS of RISK who find themselves in the Bottom Half of the Draw. Anybody in the Top Half who gets one of these MONSTERS could be heading out the Tournament!!!: - smegal69 'The Other Lord of Your Ring' is our CUP TOP SEED! Ranked 2941, on ZERO points, he ain't taking prisoners in Round 2! - Craig25 'Aka Lex Fuc*ing Luthor' was PUMPED 2-1 in Round 1 and is also on ZERO points. My plan is to take MAX POINTS in the next 3 Rounds to get back in contention for BYES! - 'The Goat' shoop76, named after his 2 early Super League Titles. He also finds himself on ZERO points in the Cup. Any player with the Nickname 'Greatest of all Time' is going to pose a very tricky tie for the unlucky Top Half Player! Featured Rd 2 Match Ups: Televised on ESPN 5, 2.45AM the last Tuesday of every month! osujacket 2188 Dawn Of Ages 41st Seed VESUS smegal69 2941 Stalingrad 1st Seed It's happened! These 2 Players have a combined Ranking of 5129! 'Full Metal' osujacket will have to navigate passed the TOP SEED for the Cup to make it to Round 3! Osu is on 1 point, smegal on ZERO points! elswick 2364 Third Crusade 23rd Seed VERSUS shoop76 2680 Treasures Of Galapagos 5th Seed 23rd Seed versus 5th Seed, Super League 01 versus The Premier, 1 Point versus ZERO Points. This promises to be an absolute DING DONG of a Cup Tie! Tin Trumpet 2328 Arms Race! 28th Seed VESUS Mass Miracle 2603 Fractured China 10th Seed 'Monsignor' Mass Miracle is a PREMIER CHAMP who finds himself on ZERO Points. And he could pay the price of Rd 1 failure here! He get's drawn against 'TT' Tin Trumpet who is Seeded 28th in the entire Tourney and is running fresh in 'The Cup' as he is on a REST SEASON in the Super League. A very unlucky Draw for both Players! itstheGeneral 2030 WWII Gazala 64th Seed VERSUS Vinpod 897 Yugoslavia 168th Seed The Lowest Ranked player surviving in The Super Cup is Vinpod. Ranked 897 and Seeded 168th he is the DARK HORSE to take down 'The Cup'. He's drawn himself an unlucky tie here! He comes up against the 64th Seed itsthegeneral! Can he SURVIVE another Round of Super Cup RISK????? Only time will tell! Okay Troops, watch out for the Invites appearing SOON........... GOOD LUCK for Round 2! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BoB Super Cup: Round 2 HIGHLIGHTS (So far) Only 15 Games remain ACTIVE in Round 2. So if you are still playing, you are among the slowest players in the Tourney. Try to SCUD your last Round 2 Games ASAP . To see all the Round 2 'LIVE' Scores and to see who is still playing, the Scoreboards always appear on this link (Note, it has multiple Tabs):https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bKVRdKNRsTiKMzXJkgMJbkQyBzCIpp3oqPV5zNBLCyA/edit?usp=sharing But, the players holding things up. Players who have completed ZERO games in Round 2 are:JJ41375 DonJuanIV smegal69 osujacket chanakam2020 Sir Mr Timothy HIGHLIGHTS: - Avi8or Stalingrad 11th Seed 3 V 0 ESQuire Arms Race! 22nd Seed This has to go down as a SHOCK RESULT! The Current SUPER LEAGUE CHAMPION , 'The Skewer' ESQuire has been KO'd from The Cup! And even worse, he went CRASHING OUT without as much as a Whimper! After carding a 2-1 defeat in Round 1 he was placed in the BOTTOM HALF of the Round 2 Draw. And that's always dangerous! Because you can easily DRAW a RISK MONSTER! And he did! He came up against the 11th Seed to win the entire Tourney, Avi8or . And even more unluckily, he got 3x 2nd Starts! And Avi8or 'Is Flying' at the moment. After winning League 10 last Season, you don't want to playing 3 games against him starting 2nd. Because you are in real danger of being PUMPED SILLY and exiting The Cup. And that's exactly what happened to the Current Super League Champ! Avi8or is currently on 3 Points, no chance of getting a BYE in the next Round but he is guaranteed another place in the TOP HALF of the Draw!- adban Berlin 1961 3rd Seed 3 V 0 Captain Mack Baltic Crusades 154th Seed Same story in this one. 154th Seed Captain Mack was a Zero Point Survivor in Round 1, placing him in the Bottom Half of the Rd 2 Draw. He then walks straight into the 3rd Seed for the Tourney, Adban 'The Bunker' . Mack only had himself to blame though. In the Match Up he got 2/3 Starts! Christ knows what happened but you shouldn't be EXITING THE CUP with 2/3 Starts! Saying that, you give Adban any chance at all to come back and Hey Presto, you're on the receiving end of a 3-0 PUMPING! Adban is on 3 Points, has no chance of a BYE in Round 3 but starts in the TOP HALF of the Draw!- Tviorr City Mogul 17th Seed 3 V 0 Chumptastic Baltic Crusades 119th Seed For those not aware, Tviorr fancies himself as a bit of a guru on that City Mogul Map! So much so, he is nicknamed 'The City Mogul'! 119th Seed Chumptastic , was in the BOTTOM HALF of the Draw, and got paired with the 17th Seed! Not ideal, especially when 'The Mogul' was off the back of KO'ing another player in Rd 1! Even worse, Tviorr got 3 Starts and never looked back. He sends 'The Chumpster' to the rails in Round 2 and progresses on MAX POINTS. I've not done the math but I am 99.9% sure that puts 'The Mogul' in Round 4 as it looks like there will be 3 AUTO-BYES up for grabs at the end of this Round!- Anila8 Poker Club 48th Seed 3 V 0 Buzz199 WWII Gazala 62nd Seed On Paper, this was a close Match Up, Only 14 Places separated them in the Seeding's. But after recording a 2-1 Victory in Round 1, Anila8 'aka Statto' was the form player. Another Match Up where the TOP HALF player got 3 starts and never looked back. So it's less 'To Infinity and Beyond' for Buzz and more of 'Being PUMPED SILLY and CRASHING out the Cup in Round 2' for Buzz! Okay Troops, if still playing, any chance you get, log into CC and NAIL those CUP GAMES! Good Luck! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BoBSC: Rd 3 Review / Rd 4 Preview Well Troops, Round 4 of the Super Cup is ALMOST upon us! We are just waiting on ONLY 1 MEANINGFUL game finishing and Round 4 starts! There are 2 Players fighting to save their skin in the Cup. Currently 2-0 DOWN and having to win the last to SURVIVE are 55th Seed, 'The Egyptian' Faro and 52nd Seed simplyred60. Faro's game is finished, it looks like He will scrape through when he wins his game in the next turn. But that leaves simplyred60 versus silvertop to finish. And as simply is at risk of being ELIMINATED we need it to finish to allow the Tourney to progress and for the next Round to start. Try to finish it quick Guys. If the rest of the Tourney want to follow the action follow the game number below: [Game]#22361250[/Game] ROUND 3 Review: Tournament Started with 168 Players. By the time we started Round 3 we were already down to 120 Players. 4 of whom avoided having to play in Round 3 and got a BYE into Round 4. That left 116 Players to run the Gauntlet of another Round of Super Cup RISK! So far, 14 Players have been KO'd this Round by getting themselves PUMPED SILLY and losing by 3-0. With simplyred60 in serious risk of making it 15 Players! The BIGGEST FISH to FALL is none other than the TOP SEED to win the entire Tournament! Ranked 2941 at the start of the Cup, 'The Other LOYR' smegal69 was Seeded 1st to win it. But he had a CUP NIGHTMARE! In Rounds 1 and 2 he failed to record any points. Surviving by carding 2x 2-1 defeats he went into Round 3 as a Survivor. But he also found himself in the bottom half of the draw. He came up against 'Lucky' luxbock who was at that stage on 2 points courtesy of a Rd 1 KO. 'Lucky' is no slouch himself, Seeded 29th and Ranked 2325 Pre-Tournament this was a tie that both players would have rather avoided so early in the Tournament. smegal69 only had Himself to blame for getting himself KO'd from The Cup at this very early stage. He STARTED on Lucky's HOME MAP of City Mogul and in a 2 Player game, starting gives you a definite edge. But he BLEW it. Lucky came roaring back to take a 1-0 lead on what he considers his FORTRESS MOGUL! smegal69 then had to do to Lucky what Lucky had just done to him. He had to start 2nd on his HOME MAP of Stalingrad and come back to win the Game. HE FAILED! It only took Lucky 8 Rounds to PUMP the 1st Seed on his HOME MAP of Stalingrad. That result out Lucky 2-0 in front and our TOP SEED on the BRINK of a humiliating Exit from The Cup in only Round 3! Onto the 3rd Game, the SUNNY RANDOM Map game. luxbock got to start here too. 2/3 starts went Lucky's way and in this one, it only took him 6 Rounds to dispatch the 1st Seed. And that my friends is the story of how our TOP SEED CRASHED and BURNED in THE CUP. Better luck next time smegal69! So that leaves 105 or 106 Players progressing to Round 4 of The Cup. Here is the full list of THE FALLERS in Round 3 with their Pre-Tournament Rankings: smegal69 2941 furbiz 2145 Chewie1 2113 rosseo 2100 Rob Mc 1853 Wile E Coyote 1852 Pedrospb 1824 Killerz999 1778 the warrior65 1731 cliff_icp 1675 Jimmy V 1543 Corona74 1485 tmrtsmith 1480 General Roy 1439 Round 4 PREVIEW: So, depending on what happens with that last Match Up. We progress to Round 4 with 105 or 106 Players! That means in 3 Rounds of CUP RISK, we have already lost around 37% of the entrants. That is CARNAGE! Only having to win 1 game out of 3 to survive, 1 of the games being on every players HOME MAP, no way did I expect that number to be so high. Anyway, the crucial BYES to make it much easier for the Tourney Leaders to make the KO Stage of the Tournament have dropped to 2 Automatic Byes. And those are already allocated! We have 4 Players leading the Tourney on 5 Points: Clanlord Carl Nimrods Son JJ41375 kennyp72 They all have exactly the same Record of picking up a point in Round 1 and following that up with 2 KO's each in Round 2 and 3 to take them all up to 5 Points. It went down to DURATION TIMES of all this Rounds Games to Separate them. 'The Mouth' Clanlord Carl was fastest, SCUDDING all his Round 3 games in a total of 10.78 Days. Nimrods Son was 2nd fastest, NAILING his games in 13.66 Days. So the 2 AUTO BYES go to these 2 LEGENDS of the BOARD. In 3rd was JJ41375 who completed all His games in 16.71 Days. And that could be very important. In 4th, it took Kenny 22.62 Days to finish all his Round 3 Games. So the 2 AUTO BYES, giving 2 Players a FREE PASS into Round 5 of The Cup go to Carl and Nimrod. Congrats! It should be noted. 'The Mouth' Clanlord Carl was named because of his claims that he would Rise to the PREMIER LEAGUE and DESTROY all players who stood in his way. He got close, he won 7 Titles in a Row to take him to the Premier. But the best RISK players on the site sorted him out. He got RELEGATED and is currently competing in The Championship. But he's at it again in The Cup. On hearing the News that he was leading The Cup and would get a Bye into Round 5, he said.......... "The Clanlord needs a 'bye' like a fish needs a bicycle......" In 3rd, JJ only gets an ODD MAN BYE if and Odd Number of Players remain in the Tournament at the start of Round 4. Currently we have 106 Players Playing it. After the 2 Byes are removed that leaves 104 Players to compete in Round 4. So.........NO ODD MAN BYE.......... BUT, if simplyred60 fails to win that last game and gets Himself KO'd........That will leave only 103 Players to play Round 4, meaning the ODD MAN BYE will be LIVE and JJ will automatically advance into Round 5 with Carl and Nimrod.......... But currently, it leaves 104 Players to fight their way through another grueling Match Up of CUP RISK to join the Tourney Leaders in Round 5. The Scoreboard has been split up into BYES, TOP HALF and BOTTOM HALF in preparation for the Round 4 Draw........... Check out the 'LIVE' Scoreboards here:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bKVRdKNRsTiKMzXJkgMJbkQyBzCIpp3oqPV5zNBLCyA/edit?usp=sharing Add that link to your BOOKMARKS, the Scoreboards are updated Daily for you to follow the progress of the Tournament! As we can see, Carl and Nimrod are in the AUTO BYE Positions. Then from JJ41375 down to Paul Tabinor we have the TOP HALF of the Draw and from TheFanny down to fc1966 'Worst Username in the History of Usernames' we have the BOTTOM HALF of the Draw. This could change dependant on the final result to hit the Scoreboard...... Below those are the players already ELIMINATED! Round 4 will be a RANDOM DRAW between both halves! Someone in the TOP HALF will have a RANDOM OPPONENT from the BOTTOM HALF! The split comes at 2 Points. Currently 9 Players on 2 Points have made the TOP HALF of the Draw, and 26 find themselves in the BOTTOM HALF! You are very unlucky if you have 2 Points and find yourself in the BOTTOM HALF and are now at serious risk of drawing a RISK MONSTER in Round 4! TIE-BREAKERS: 1. Points 2. Who had most Points in the Previous Round, then in every Previous Round back to Rd 1. 3. Lowest Total Game Duration of All the CURRENT Round Games*** 4. Lowest Total Game Duration of the PREVIOUS Round Games*** Players to be AVOIDED in the TOP HALF of the Draw: adban 2717 3rd Seed Super League 23 (at start of Cup) Points=4 - 'The Bunker' was a late entrant to the Super League and has just started his journey climbing the Slippery Pole to the Top Leagues in the Super League. But he's the 3rd Seed to lift The Cup courtesy of his 2717 Pre-Tournament Ranking! Craig25 2696 4th Seed Super League: Premier (at start of Cup) Points=4 - A Mod who quite rightly claims to be INSANE, accused Craig25 of possessing mind bending powers. He claimed that Craig25 can hypnotize players into joining his Tournaments and to revolt against CC whenever Craig25 demands. The Mod who suggested this is clearly CRAZY AS A COCONUT. But it did earn me the UBER COOL nickname of 'AKA Lex fuc*ing Luthor'. Currently sitting on 4 Points, a DOUBLE PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPION, Seeded 4th to TAKE DOWN THE CUP, hopefully any BOTTOM HALF CUP Player will tremble at the thought of facing Me and my SUPER HUMAN POWERS.......... Ukey 2666 6th Seed Super League 1 (at start of Cup) Points=4 - The Great War Champ, A 2 Yr CC Tourney that never Ended! CC refusing to pay Ukey his Years Premium for clearly winning the Tournament is the 6th Seed for The Cup. Currently playing in The Championship, already having SCUDDED 1 PREMIER and CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE, this is 1 player best avoided! Wheelwright 2606 9th Seed Super League: Premier (at start of cup) Points=4 - The Canadian Cricketer, named because of his HOME MAP of Cricket. Previous Champion of the CHAMPIONSHIP and League 02. He took a REST SEASON from the Super League so that he was fresh for The Cup. Ranked 2606 Pre-Tournament, just off the lead in the Cup on 4 Points. He is a handful! You think you have him beat on his HOME MAP, and a few turns later he's KNOCKED YOU for 6! BEWARE! Okay Troops, keep an aye on the game still going, when that completes, we start Round 4! GOOD LUCK! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BoB Super Cup: Rd 4 Review / Rd 5 Preview Round 4 REVIEW Well Troops, I write this rounds update with a very heavy heart............Today is a Dark Day indeed for CC.....................But like a Phoenix it will rise from the ashes again..............Craig25 has been KO'd from the Super League in only Round 4 by 'The Egyptian' Faro . A total injustice, I was on 4 Points hoping to TOP the LEADERBOARD and earn a BYE in this Round, Faro was on ZERO points having been SCUDDED 2-1 in the previous 3 Rounds. In a Match Up where HORRIBLE DICE were the NORM . It turned out that my Dice were the worst! I started 1/3 Match Ups, so no excuses. It's a CRUEL format of a Tournament and a sad, sad day for CC! Thankfully I have 2 things that save me from suicidal thoughts. 1. I am just about to SCUD League 01 in the Super League and return to the PREMIER , and 2. I am not the HIGHEST RANKED Player to be PUMPED OUT of THE CUP early doors, that honor goes to 'The Other LOYR' smegal69 who was ranked 2941 pre-tournament and got PUMPED OUT last Round! Anyway, I was not alone in EXITING The Cup that Round! Another 12 Players also fell at Round 4. And kennyp72 is just about to be ELIMINATED by Dusty21 so that makes 14 Fallers in Round 4! And KennyP's EXIT is even SICKER than mine! He started this Round as the JOINT LEADER and was drawn to play 1 POINTER Dusty who Dusted Up Kenny Big Time to enter Round 5 on a more respectable 3 Points! That actually made me feel better Kenny! Round 5 Preview: There are another 2 Match Ups still Playing and Today is the last Day for finishing those! But with them delicately balanced on 1-1, all 4 players are guaranteed to progress. Anila8 will Predict the Result of the deciding Game over the Weekend, make the Round 5 Draw and start the Games. Prediction is for Draw purposes only, the actual score will be updated onto the Score board when the Match Up's actually finish. 92 Players have managed to SURVIVE to compete in Round 5. With 1 BYE for every 40 SURVIVORS that means 2 BYES goes to the Tourney Leaders. Of which there are 4! 'The Butcher of Stalingrad' aad0906, Ukey 'The Great War Champ, A 2 Yr CC Tourney that CC never Ended!', 'The Big Gun' Loose Canon and 'Super' Matt2007 are all on 6 Points. JJ41375 could join them on 6 Points but it looks like he has given up on his game versus bwana so unless things change massively in that game. The Tie-Breaker goes to the Count Back. And it's aad0906 who wins that due to him being 1st to 4 Points way back in Round 2, so he is on 1 of the Byes. Ukey and Loose Canon were still tied after the Count Back so it went to GAME DURATIONS of all Games in the Current Round. And UKEY finished in Super Quick Times. I had to check this but he SCUDDED all 3 Games in 0.3529 Days , so he takes the 2nd BYE! That leaves 90 Players to walk the Round 5 Gauntlet. And as 90 is an EVEN NUMBER , there is no ODD MAN BYE for the unlucky loser of the TIE-BREAKER Loose Canon! I don't think any Predicted Scores are going to change the TOP HALF and BOTTOM HALF of the Leaderboard so as it appears now, that is how the DRAW will be made. It is always a RANDOM DRAW between TOP HALF and BOTTOM HALF Players!TOP HALF Players to avoid, well really all of them! But those on 5 Points or above are particularly dangerous, because they know if they Card a 3-0 KO they are in with a chance in the next Round! But for any BOTTOM HALF player, these Players pose a particularly high THREAT LEVEL : - 2nd Seed 'The Mouth' Clanlord Carl returns to action after a BYE in the previous Round! - Joint Leader 'The Big Gun' Loose Canon who enters the Round pissed off that he lost the Tourney Lead on a TIE-BREAKER! - The other Joint Leader 'Super' Matt2007 will be a particularly HORRIBLE DRAW! - adban 'The Bunker' started late in the Super League, but ranked 2717 at the start of the Cup, he is now the 3rd FAV to take it down! And the Big Fish who are having a very challenging run at the Super Cup. The HIGH RANKED players who find themselves in the BOTTOM HALF of the Draw.......... - None other than 'The Goat' shoop76 . He's WON the SUPER LEAGUE TWICE! Sick if one of the Players above is unlucky to run into this RISK MONSTER! - Dusty21 was on 1 point in the Previous Round, but fresh from a KO to take him up to 3 Points, he is the NEW 8th SEED for The Cup and still starts in the BOTTOM HALF! - 10th Seed 'Monsignor' Mass Miracle is only on 2 Points! Another Ex-Super League Champ who nobody wants to meet in Round 5! Okay Troops, Ad (Anila8) will MAKE THE DRAW and START Round 5 Over the weekend. He may also send out some ANALYSIS and CUP STATS of he has time, who knows. But deffo watch out for the Invites. And if you want to check out the current 'Live' Leaderboard , with the TOP and BOTTOM Halves of the DRAW clearly shown, CHECK IT OUT :https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bKVRdKNRsTiKMzXJkgMJbkQyBzCIpp3oqPV5zNBLCyA/edit?usp=sharing And Good Luck for Round 5! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BoBSC - Rd 5 Review / Rd 6 Preview Round 5 Review Well, if I don't say so Myself, Round 5 was un-adultered CARNAGE! - 92 Players started Round 5 - 45 Match Ups took place - 18 Resulted in a 3-0 ELIMINATION - 74 Warriors SURVIVED! - The Tourney Leaders are all on 7 Points (4 of) - The Split between the TOP HALF and BOTTOM HALF of the Leaderboard is 4 Points - 8x 4 Pointers make it into the TOP HALF - 8x 4 Pointers are in the BOTTOM HALF - Highest Ranked Player to be PUMPED out the Tourney this Rd: adban 'The Bunker' 2717 - Lowest Ranked Player to make it to Round 6: zeus066168 (4 Points - Bottom Half of Draw) - Tourney Leaders: 'Super' Matt2007, 'The Mouth' Clanlord Carl, 'The Templar of Doom' molespe & direwolf (all on 7 Points) - Lowest Scoring SURVIVOR: tpotter7704 137th Seed, ZERO Points! Been beaten 2-1 in all 5 Rounds! But is still hanging on in there! Round 6 Preview From 168 Warriors who entered the CAULDRON of SUPER CUP RISK, only 74 Survivors re-enter the Round 6 Battlefield! Who will fall this Round??? We are down to ONLY 1 GUARANTEED BYE! (1 for every 40 Survivors) and that goes to 'Super' Matt2007. And without the use of a Calculator........74 Survivors down to 73 competing in this Round leaves an ODD NUMBER. So the next highest player on the Scoreboard gets the ODD MAN BYE! And courtesy of having the most points back in Round 3 between the 3 remaining players on 7 Points, the ODD MAN BYE goes to no other than 'The Mouth' Clanlord Carl. So the Player who claims to be 'THE GREATERST RISK PLAYER EVER', but who cannot do it in the Super League, is safely into Round 7 of THE CUP! That leaves 36 Cup Ties taking place this Round! The Scoreboard has been put into Draw Order for now, and the FULL DRAW is on the 2nd Tab. But here are the pick of the Round 6 Ties; Ukey 2666 6th Seed (6 Points) V dowian2 2502 16th Seed (1 Point) With a combined Pre-Tournament Ranking of 5168 this is a NIGHTMARE Tie for Both Players. Undoubtedly Ukey enters the Round as the form Player having built up 6 Points in The Cup, a 3-0 SCUDDING would see him in with a real chance of taking a BYE in the next Round. But standing in his way is dowian2. Currently a PREMIER LEAGUE RISK Player, he is having a bit of a NIGHTMARE in The Cup. Is this the Round where he will transfer some of his League form into The Cup? Ukey hopes that is not the case! Keefie 2509 14th Seed (5 Points) V Dusty21 2620 8th Seed (3 Points) Similar story here. Pre-Tournament Rankings of 5129 this is a Tough Tie for both Players! Both have virtually no chance of obtaining a BYE in the next Round so it's all about Survival. Keefie could aim for a BYE in Round 8 but he would require 2 very high scoring Rounds to do that. Dusty21 will be trying to get himself into the TOP HALF of the Leaderboard so that he has at least a chance of easier Round Draws to get himself into the KO's. Pretty much anything could happen here, watch this space! Iron City Brewer 1414 149th Seed (5 Points) V tpotter7704 1489 137th Seed (ZERO Points) Battle of the DARK HORSES! 2 Players who are not fancied to win The Cup are 149th Seed ICB and 137th Seed tpotter7704. But ICB is running hot in The Cup, 5 Points puts him easily in the TOP HALF of the Draw and no doubt he will be looking to improve here.......But standing in his way is the ULTIMATE SURVIVOR tpotter7704, the player who nobody can ELIMINATE just seems to do enough to keep himself KICKING in The Cup, will the ZERO POINTER make it to Round 7?? Only time will tell........ Okay Troops, here is the link to the LIVE CUP Scoreboards, add it to your BOOKMARKS so that you can follow the action. It is updated daily! GOOD LUCK for Round 6! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BoBSL: Rd 10 Review / Rd 11 Preview To follow this Troops, you would really want to check out the 'LIVE' Super Cup Scoreboards: From 166 Brave Souls who entered the world of Super Cup RISK.........Only 39 Survived until Round 10. With the KO's starting when we reach 32 Players, we had to lose 7 Players to progress to the next phase. Round 10 consisted of 1 BYE (Clanlord Carl) and 19 Match Ups consisting of 38 Players. And we didn't quite reach the KO Phase just yet....but, we were not far away! The Bell Tolled for 5 Super Cup Warriors who made it through 9 Rounds of grueling Super Cup Risk to fall literally days before the KO's commence. Interestingly, all 5 of the Players who were PUMPED SILLY all came from the BOTTOM HALF of the Leaderboard. But contained in that were some real heavy hitters! So for 1 last time those being KO'd get a mention in the SUPER CUP COMMENTARY, with their pre-tournament Ranks also listed: Dusty21 2620 Enormastitz 2339 marand 2309 Bada0Bing 2024 edretreats 1509 Round 11 Preview: That leaves the final 34 Players probably the last standing before we move to the KO phase where literally anything could happen! We only need to lose 2 more players! In a poker Tournament this stage would be called THE BUBBLE. Where you get so close to glory, but fall at the last possible minute! I mean, I got KO'd in Round 4 and even that is preferable to being KO'd at this stage......... If you wanted to be less technical about this point in the Tourney, it can also be referred to as SQUEAKY BUM TIME. The point you start your 3 Games and prey you don't get 3 2nd Turns! We only have a BYE if upwards of 40 Players and we are way beyond that point! So no AUTO BYE! Still the ODD MAN BYE and without the need for a Calculator, 34 Survivors means no ODD MAN BYE either! So Round 11 Starts with 17 Match SUPER CUP Match UPS. With only 2 FALLERS required for us to start the KO's. Will 2 Players Bow out this Round? You would need somebody with a calculator to work that out but I reckon it is heavy ODDS-ON that this is the final Round of the Survivor Phase! And, The RANDOM Map for this Round.....is................................................... CYPRUS! Which, is my next holiday destination in September to see 'The Blue Brazil' (Scotland) Face Off against 'The Mighty' Cyprus in the Qualifiers for Euro 2024 in Germany! Which I will be going to for sure! It is also a very cool RISK Map. It'll also be the 1st time a CC Map has saved me money on Mobile Data............... TOP HALF: - The Tourney Leader is Ukey 'The Great War Champ, A 2 Yr CC Tourney that never Ended!'. Leading the way on 13 Points. He is forced to play another Round. How sick would it be if Ukey fell in this Round??? - We have 3 Players TIED for 2nd Place on 12 Points: molespe 'The Templar of Doom', Anila8 'Aka Statto' and 'The Big Gun' Loose Canon. - If you have 9 Tournament Points or above, you made it into the TOP HALF of the Draw! - Average Rank of a TOP HALF Super League Player is now 2244 BOTTOM HALF: - If you have between 3 and 8 Tournament Points you are slumming it with the Players hanging onto Survival with the skin of their teeth! AKA The BOTTOM HALF! - There are 5 Players slumming it who were Ranked 2500+ at the start of the Tournament. Surely any of these Players would be a NIGHTMARE DRAW: Wheelwright 'The Canadian Cricketer', aad0906 'The Butcher of Stalingrad', bamage 'Is not doing The Damage but is still surviving', shoop76 'The Goat', *Pixar* 'The Movie Maker' and dowian2 'The Bronx Bomber'. - Average pre-Tournament Rank of a BOTTOM HALF Player is 2158 - 'The Incredible' Huyuk is the lowest scoring player still standing. On 3 Points he has only won 2-1 3 Times and won 3-0 ZERO Times in 10 Match Ups. When I was KO'd in Rd 4 I had way more points than him! Whoever dreamed up a sick format of a Tourney like this should be shot! TELEVISED Rd 11 MATCH UPS: Super Cup Games are contained in a HIGHLIGHTS show on ESPN 4, the last Tuesday of every Month at 4.45 Outer Mongolian Time so watch out for them. Until then, here are the Top 3 Match Ups taking place this Round. For everybody else, check out the 'LIVE' Cup Scoreboards:molespe Rank:2440 2014 World Cup The Templar of Doom V shoop76 Rank:2680 Treasures Of Galapagos The Goat The Season 13 Super League Champ finds himself in the Bottom Half of the Draw and comes up against molespe who is in 2nd place and appears to be saving his best form for The Cup!Tviorr Rank:2490 City Mogul Tiddler V *Pixar* Rank:2625 All Your Base Are Belong To Us The Movie Maker Tviorr 'The Tiddler' fancies himself as an expert on City Mogul. And so far it's stood him in good stead in The Cup. On a very respectable 10 Points. But in this Round he comes up against RISK MONSTER! *Pixar* will be looking up those crazy Map Discussion Forums to plot The Tiddlers Downfall. Rumor has it that *Pixar* is planning a Movie.....'How I Won CC's 1st Super Cup', so 100% he won't want to fall here!guzmanuk Rank:1995 Baltic Crusades V Charle Rank:1721 Conquer 500 With a combined Ranking of 3716 this is the Lowest Total Ranking of all Ties. So safe to say, 2 of the Tournament Dark Horses are battling it out to make the KNOCK-OUT Stage! It will be a close call. Only 1 Point splits them on the Scoreboard too! Guz crept into the Top Half on 9 Points, 'Je Suis' Charle sits equal top of the Bottom Half on 8 Points! Okay Troops, expect the invites to go out shortly after I go and make myself a Coffee!

Ukey 2666 Tribal War - Ancient Israel The Great War Champ1 V Tviorr 2490 City Mogul The Tiddler Ukey is an established TOP PLAYER, even having won a Premier League Title. Tviorr is most definitely on the way up. He's worked his way from the bottom of the Super League to the Top Leagues........but to progress further towards being a recognised TOP PLAYER, he is going to have to get passed a LEGEND of the BOARD! Who can do it.........Can Ukey stay at the Top, or will the up-start pregress closer to RISK SUPER STARDOM??? dowian2 2502 Napoleonic Europe The Bronx Bomber V shoop76 2680 Treasures Of Galapagos The Goat On Pre-Tournament Seedings, this is the toughest Match Up. 16th Seed dowian2 faces of versus shoop76.

SUPER CUP RISK doesn't get any better than this........an EPIC! GOOD LUCK to all SURVIVORS! Games will be set up as soon as I get a Coffee! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BoBSC: THE FINAL WOW, what a Tournament! 166 Brave Souls entered the Super Cup, and, way back on Wednesday 22nd February we Kicked Off! 21 Weeks and 1,540 Games Later and we have moved from 166 Players down to our 2 most Successful CUP RISK PLAYERS! The Players who REFUSE to LOSE! Before we look at our Final, Let's see what happened in the Semi's: SF Tviorr City Mogul The Tiddler 4 V 3 Loose Canon Third Crusade The Big Gun This one still ain't finished, but currently, Tviorr has a 4-1 Lead. In the 2 that is to finish, 'The Big Gun' Loose Canon looks to have an advantage. So, as it is decided, we crack on! On the RANDOM MAP, and this game looks to have proved to be the DECIDER, 'The Tiddler' got the start and Carded with 1 Territory Gain. 'The Big Gun' equaled that in his turn. But, in Turn 2 Tviorr took 3 territories to Loose Canon's 1, and it was all down hill from there for our loser Loose Canon. The Tiddler cashed with 4 cards for a set of 8, Loose Canon having to wait an extra turn to cash a set of 6 was the nail in the coffin! Tviorr got 2/3 starts on 'Fortress Mogul', and only won the 2 he started, so maybe just maybe there is a chink in his armour........This was a fair fight. On Loose Canon's HOME MAP, He got 2/3 Starts. But in one of the Games he started, he LOST it to 'The Tiddler'. In the other 2 Games he has a small advantage, but, with that RENDOM MAP DECIDER, 2 Victories in the remaining games ain't going to be enough. 'The Tiddler' through to start in the Final, Loose Canon is left to compete for 3rd Place! SF molespe 2014 World Cup The Templar of Doom 6 V 1 elswick Third Crusade This one was not close! On The RANDOM MAP, molespe 'The Templar of Doom' Started, but, managed to LOSE it to elswick 'The ANZAC'. But in this Semi, this was the only foot molespe would put wrong. On elswick's HOME MAP, Thirs Crusade, molespe got all 3 starts, and punished elswick as a Result. That made the score 3-1 to molespe and left elswick needing a miracle! He had to win 3/3 on molespe's HOME MAP of 2014 World Cup. Unfortunately for him, 'The Templar of Doom' got 2/3 Starts here and added misery upon misery for elswick by going on to win all 3! So this one finished 6-1 and sends molespe to look for that extra 10 League Promotion and elswick to see if he can bag himself a 3rd placed Finish in THE CUP! THE FINAL: Not only do we have a FINAL, but, we also have a 3rd placed Play-Off where the 2 losing Semi-Finalists will play to see who can take the BRONZE Medal and finish in 3rd Place. This Round, we move to our 16th RANDOM MAP of the Tournament!: Greenland Cool blue and ice cold, this Greenland map features bonus zones that are similar in size and with plenty of borders in need of defense. The central ice cap confines your movement largely to the coasts and acts partially as an impassable, though three passes through the ice are known. But beware, stopping in the middle of this trek is treacherous---due to cold and fatigue you'll lose one troop per round. Total starting territories: 32 And for the Match Ups themselves, it is 3 on the RANDOM MAP and 3 on each of the Players HOME MAP. 3P PO elswick Third Crusade The Anzac V Loose Canon Third Crusade The Big Gun Interestingly here, both play with Third Crusade as their HOME MAP! Only 4 Players started The Cup with this Home Map and 2 of them got to the SEMI's! And then weirder still that neither of them managed to take the last step into THE FINAL itself! Well, this is the Match Up nobody wants to play in, and it looks like the 3 ~Games on the RANDOM MAP maybe the decider here? FINAL Tviorr City Mogul The Tiddler V molespe 2014 World Cup The Templar of Doom So, our SHOW-PIECE MATCH UP. The culmination of 6 Months exemplary RISK Play by 2 Players at the Top of the Super Leagues and at the top of their game. But, who can go on to take that final step to RISK GLORY??? -Both Players have been at the top of their game since the start of the Tournament! Neither even appeared in the BOTTOM HALF of the Draw in the SURVIVAL PHASE of the Tournament. So nothing to split them here! -molespe had to play one extra Round in the SURVIVAL PHASE to get through to the KO's. So that meant Tviorr had been leading the Tournament more than molespe so clearly had one BYE more. I don't think this Stat gives an advantage to any Player. Tviorr lead more, but molespe had to play more and still Survive. -It is when we get to the Total Game Count, we see a difference emerging.........'The Tiddler' has Played 54 Cup Games, and Won 37 of them. That is a 68.5% Win Rate. molespe 'The Templar of Doom' on the other hand has played 57 Cup Games and Won 42 of them. That is a 73.7% Strike Rate. That is a BIG difference! -Tviorr 'The Tiddler' is going to have to MAX his WINS on 'Fortress Mogul' to have a chance. 'The Templar of Doom' I reckon has an edge on the Random Maps. But, It's CLOSE! -Bookies have priced 'The Templar as the 4/5 FAV. 'The Tiddler' they have as an 11-10 Shot to take down The Cup! Games are SET-UP........May the best CUP PLAYER Win.............. GOOD LUCK! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For next Seasons CUP, there are changes afoot. But the biggest change of all is going to a Sep-Poll!
SEP-POLL: The Organisers are agreed that Chained does not offer as much complexity as Adjacent. So the FORT settings will change to mirror The Super League. What there is a dis-agreement on is the SPOILS. Should The CUP change to the exact same settings as Super League (Flat Rate) or stick with the Escalating Cards?
Which SPOILS setting should be used?
- Flat Rate
- Escalating
Escalating is more predictable. Flat Rate offer the player going 2nd more opportunity to come back. It's your Call Troops, VOTE AWAY.
Polling Stations are OPEN until Monday, 8am CCT!:
