##...For Quiz League Players who Qualified. ===========================
ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE European CHAMPIONS Competition .
This Thread will be the Champions League contact point ..###
(the same as each League had one). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Following on from last seasons chit chat leagues, the inaugural Champions League competition qualifiers are now known ,
and it is is planned to hold the Comp over the next few weeks to finish just before Christmas. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Usually Qualifiers will be :- The top 5 from the Premiership, Championship and Cola leagues qualifying for the group stage automatically.
The 3x 6th place teams playing one another in a run off qualifier in order to secure the last (16th) spot into the group stage.
However, this year due to the unfortunate loss of Slartybartfast (6th in Champ) and Wizards Sleeve (3rd in Cola) from the Leagues, we are able to go straight to the group stage, as we have 16 qualifers left . +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The 16 quizzers therefore Qualifying to take part from the 3x leagues for the season just finished are :-
###...The 16 Qualifiers are asked to confirm their acceptance of their invitation , by Midnight Saturday 21st, otherwise the Reserve will be asked to step in .###

Reserves will receive an invitation to join in place of the original invitees IF we don't get confirmation by midnight Saturday that they will be taking part. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Live draw will take place NEXT SUNDAY 22nd November and the group matches can commence anytime from 6pm that evening.
There will be 4x Groups of 4.... drawn completely randomly in a Live Draw,including The 4x seeded Players (3x League winners + Prem Runner Up ) will be drawn Live into 4x different groups , as per the real thing .
Each qualifer plays other qualifiers in their group (home and away) and so you will each play at least 6 matches. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Once the groups are completed the top 2 in each group proceeds to the knockout stage where again there will be home and away legs (with away goals counting double in the event of an aggregate tie). Group winners will meet a group runner up and vice versa in the quarter finals. We are planning a one off quarter finals night when we get to this stage. The following week would see the semi finals and final on the same night.
Lozzy and Myself have been tasked with the Admin on this Comp , and will be doing the Live draw and refereeing.
The game format will be 6 questions same as in the leagues, including 2x multis, but now (A to F) ....
For home subjects, there will be a choice of 16 generic headings . Quizzers will pick TWO of the 16 subjects for use in the tournament. (no restriction on number of times each is used).
They will then have the opportunity to CHOOSE which of their two they use for each of their matches (ie tactics against their opponent). Subject to be confirmed at match arranging time .

SLB to confirm if 8pm fine for a kick off time v Madmadmoon...
The match tomorrow is going to be one big one of 12 questions with myself and Joe Jordan reffing alternately, and there will be no home and away as such so no away goals rule. However, 6 of the 12 in total, ie half the questions will be on your chosen subjects - ie still effectively 3 home subjects each.
However in the final BOTH your subject choices will get used, not just one. Two will be on your PREFERRED home subject, one (the multi) on your other subject.
Please can you each let us know asap which one you would like two questions on from your two subject picks so we can find suitable ones from our library. MADMADMOON - POP MUSIC and SPORT SLB - GEOGRAPHY and LITERATURE

BAYERN MOONICH v SPORTING LISBON (Madmadmoon v SLB)
SLB was a promoted Championship quizzer last season and has been unbeaten throughout the competition having came through as the winner of the 'group of death', a very tough quarter final against the Cola Champion, the seeded Mr Miggins and then he dismantled the game of tournament favourite Nirvana in the semi. His strength in depth across a number of subjects has made him a fearsome opponent and hiis determined to leave the quizzes as the King of them all.
MADMADMOON is a highly progressive Championship player who finished 5th last season after being in the wrong half of the table at half way. Since then he hasn't looked back, winning a hard group with Premier league champion Poppydog in it, only losing once, and then taking the other Premier scalps of the highly rated Tobermory and Jimmy69. Was ranked 20/1 by Honest Joe Bookies but is very dangerous on music and sport subjects and is now only one game away from glory !
SLB has scored the more goals so far, but MOONY is a tough competitor who gets through fixtures with difficult questions very well - it is a tough one to call...
LOZZYBET is betting to a 100% book for this unique event.
8/11 SLB, 11/8 MADMADMOON
