• Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 50 Cup: schedule and play-in ma

    From Futbolmetrix@24:150/2 to rec.sport.soccer on Sun Apr 24 20:39:37 2022
    We have 9 human players left in the Cup, it's tough to have a decent Cup schedule with an odd number of participants. Therefore, Homer, who gained promotion from Tier 3 to Tier 2 (where he will replace milivella) gets a slot.

    Schedule

    Week 1: Play-in matches (4 teams involved, 6 teams get a bye)
    Week 2: Quarterfinals (losers of play-in round rest, but are not eliminated) Week 3: Semifinals. Losers of Quarterfinals plus losers of play-in round participate in repechage round 1 (three matches)
    Week 4: Final. Losers of semifinals + 2 best repechage winners (goal difference, then goals scored, then random draw) play in 3rd place matches. Repechage losers + worst repechage winner participate in 7th place match.

    Seeded teams (first round bye):
    1. Jesus Petry
    2. MH
    3. Homer Simpson
    4. Werner PIchler
    5. ixion martin
    6. Jesper Lauridsen

    Unseeded (play-in)

    Play-in matches:
    What to do
    -----------
    Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away? In any case:
    remember that it's single-leg, and a draw qualifies the team with the X
    on its side.
    *Home*
    - Before Wednesday 2022-01-12, 11:59 GMT
    - Pick one team from each of the two matches, in order of preference
    *Away*
    - After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked his
    teams) and before kickoff of the first match
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if he hasn't picked
    any team, you have free choice)
    - Their opponents will represent your opponent
    (If the away player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the home
    player will be represented by his preferred team. If nobody picks a
    team, teams are assigned randomly.)

    Not sure why Google (that has statrted doing probabilistic predictions) thinks last-placed Alaves has much of a chance. Then again, Villarreal will be distracted by its European Cup entanglements. Still, I pick Gladbach.
