Twitter Cup 2020 announced
Fri 10th April 2020 | General | By Craig Kendall
Over the course of the next couple of weeks, The NWCFL will be running the Twitter Cup 2020 for all NWCFL clubs.
All 60 clubs within the NWCFL have been drawn into 15 groups of four clubs, with each team "playing" against each other on Twitter in a battle of votes to see who is the ultimate winner.
This weekend will see the first of the group matches, followed by a midweek game, then the final group games next weekend. The matches start at 3pm for weekend games and 7:45pm for midweek games, and voting for each game will be open on our Twitter feed for 24 hours on for all the games.
Winners of each group - plus the best second placed team with the most votes in the group stages - will go through to the Last 16 where it will be a straight knockout. The draw for the Last 16 and each subsequent round will be made LIVE on Twitter.
For all group matches the usual footall rules apply, namely that it is draw points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. Draws will only apply where both teams have exactly 50% on Twitter of the vote each on Twitter (using mobile version only). For the knockout stages, its a straight shoot out for the most votes. However if there is a draw, an additional 3 hours extra time will be added to the vote to hopefully see somebody over the line.
Just so that you are awaare of the schedule, the last 16 matches will take place on 21st/22nd April and the Quarter-Finals on 25th/26th April. The Semi-Final will then take place on 28th/29th April, followed by the final on Saturday 2nd May.
The groups are below, all drawn using a random number generator. Groups A-H will get us underway at 3.00pm tomorrow on Twitter, with the rest starting on Sunday. Make sure to cast your votes on who you want to see through to the next round.
Good luck to all teams and remember to use the hashtag #NWCFLTwitterCup.
