The Belyea Cup

Welcome back to The Belyea Memorial Cup, ‘Rewarding Excellence in Its Many Forms’, where everyone is a winner (except one).
The game is simple – if you get the best score of the remaining teams, you escape.
Each week at least one team gets out, sometimes more, because they are excellent!

▲ You get up to 38 gameweeks to remove yourself from consideration. ▲
The last team to be eliminated… gets the Belyea Cup. ▼🏆▼
If there’s more than one team left after the final gameweek then they all, you know, jointly receive this unique award!

---

Two teams may have recently been relegated, but this season is not over for anyone, especially not for the Belyea Cup hopefuls fearfuls. One more team that will no longer have sleepless nights or nightmares about getting the Belyea – FC Santa Barbara are out and free. Relax, and go again next season.

---

Week Thirty-Two – only 7 teams remain:
A.F.C. Chester, BattleVAR Galactico, Boudi’s Crew, Harambe Hotspur, Jaysokker, Ole’s at the wheel, The Phenoms.

The Big One

On top of hosting a league for the BFFA faithful, we are also involving some unsuspecting stars of the game in our classic league. This week…Fabian Schär. He manages fab in the NUFC Identity league, in which they are currently second behind Kieran Trippier.

Postseason Preview

Over the next few gameweeks I will try to keep you updated here on how the postseason is shaping up and what to look out for. Here’s a brief overview of how the postseason will play out.

Postseason Tournaments

In the final two gameweeks, all forty teams will be involved in one of the postseason tournaments. Click on the drop-downs to see more detail about each:

⚽︎ Champion of Champions

⚽︎ The Champions of each league, the BFFA Cup winners and the Champions League winners will take part in a Champion-of-Champions tournament.
This season, as there is potentially five or six teams in the CoC, the top two scores will qualify for the GW38 Grand Final.

⚽︎ Runners-Up Trophy

⚽︎ The 4x Second-placed teams, the 4x Third-placed teams, the Champions League Runners-Up (Gloopy Yarbles) and the BFFA Cup Runners-Up will play in a Runners-Up pool. They will play to see who can get the best total out of the final two gameweeks.

⚽︎ Champions League Qualifiers

⚽︎ The 4x Fourth-placed teams will play-off for two Champions League places.

The teams will be seeded by their Fantasy Points total.
#1 will play #4 over two legs, and #2 faces #3.

If, however, either the Champions League winners (Sporting Wicker Park) or the BFFA Cup winners (TBD) finish in fourth place, then the topscoring fourth-placed team will automatically be entered into next season’s Champions League, and the other two will playoff (across GWs 37 & 38) for the remaining slot.
If something strange happens and both the CL winner AND the Cup winner both finish in fourth place, then both of the other two fourth-placed finishers will automatically go to the Champions League.

⚽︎ The Intramural League Qualifers

⚽︎ The teams in 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th will play in IML Qualifiers.
One team from each League will play in next season’s Intramural League.

For the 2024 Intramural League, each league hosts a mini-qualifying tournament to put one team forward.
GW37: 5th v 8th and 6th v 7th
GW38: Winner v Winner.
If the CL/Cup winner(s) finish in 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th, then the highest-placed remaining team gets a bye to their division’s IML Qualifier Final.

⚽︎ The Wooden Spoon

⚽︎ The teams finishing the season in 9th and 10th will play in a Wooden Spoon pool. The worst two scores in GW37 will play in a GW38 head-to-head where the loser gets the Last Place Trophy.

Some teams will be involved in more than one competition (for example, the Playoff teams will also be involved in the RUT or IMLQ’s).

In the graphic above, if the tables remain as they are at the end of GW36, the teams in yellow would be involved in the Champion of Champions tournament. This will also include the BFFA Cup winners. The remaining four teams in the Cup have a ‘(c)’ beside their name. Sporting Wicker Park will also be involved as CL Winners.

The teams in grey (including the CL runners-up Gloopy Yarbles) will be entered into the Runners-Up Trophy, and the teams finishing in the green positions will start next season early with the IML Preliminary Rounds.

And finally, the teams finishing in the purple positions (3rd and 8th) will also have a playoff game to contend…

Playoffs

After the end of Gameweek 36, we will be able to confirm the final league positions of all 40 teams.
All the top three teams will be awarded a payout.
The top two teams (Champ., Lge 1 & Lge 2) will get promotion and the bottom two teams will be doomed to relegation.

We will then also have the fixtures for our three Play-offs:

⚽︎ 8th, Premier League -v- 3rd, Championship ⚽︎
⚽︎ 8th, Championship -v- 3rd, League One ⚽︎
⚽︎ 8th, League One -v- 3rd, League Two ⚽︎
Two legs, best aggregate score wins the place.

The 2024 Champions League

There will be sixteen teams entered into next season’s Champions League:
⚽︎ The top three from each League,
⚽︎ 2x postseason qualifiers (from the fourth-placed finishers),
⚽︎ The current Champions League Winners (Sporting Wicker Park),
⚽︎ The BFFA Cup Winners (one of the four remaining).

If the Champions League Winners (Sporting Wicker Park) and/or the BFFA Cup Winners finish in the top three in their league, then there will be an open place which will go to the highest-scoring team(s) that finish below a top three place (see the reserve list in the graphic above).

If the CL winners and/or the Cup winners finish in fourth place then the highest-scoring other fourth-placed team will get an automatic place in the 2024 Champions League.

If the Champions League winners also win the BFFA Cup (!) then there will definitely be at least one of the reserve teams in the CL next season.

The Best-ish Team of the Season

Finally, the Best-ish tournament will continue right until the end of Gameweek 38.
The team that finishes top of the leaderboard will win the prize money and have their names written down in history (by which we mean – on the Teams page here). Shiny.
