Newcomers Challenge nearing the quarter finals

Bubbles, FC Sunnyvale Developer 13 February 2009, 10:38

As [url=/cup/fixtures.php?cupid=31&round=9]round 9[/url] of the [url=/cup/info.php?cupid=31]Newcomers Challenge Cup[/url] begins, only 16 teams remain out the 3800+ that competed in the first round.

Two teams from 7th division are still in the running, and it'll be interesting to see if [club=399301]Los Gatos[/club] or [club=484770]Team Travz[/club] make it into the quarter finals.

The favorite to win the cup is still [club=219318]Wannabee Boldklub[/club] who plays in the French 3rd division but anything can happen.

Remember, the Newcomers Challenge cup continues next week, so if you didn't get a chance to join this season, make sure to sign up before Sunday night in order to join the action starting Monday morning.

Next season we will shake things up a bit, by adding a VIFA rank requirement excluding the top 1800 clubs in the game from entering, ensuring that the cup will truly be a battle of the newcomers.
