| 2004 EW Cup |
| The EW Cup tournament will begin on Week 25 of the EPL season and will conclude in a Cup Final on week 37. This tournament consists of single elimination matches with replays for matches that result in a draw. Seeding throughout the tournament will be based upon Yahoo point standings at the end of Week 24. In case of a tie in the league table, the most recent weekly result (week 24) will be used to determine seeding. Tournament Seeding (Divisions) Note on Yahoo scoring corrections: Any scoring changes that take place during head to head cup competitions will be used only if they are made before the Yahoo deadline for the following week's rosters. Changes made after the deadline can not be used to change the outcome of a match. Note on the schedule: Due to uncertainties in Yahoo`s schedule, week numbers listed here are based on my best estimate at this time. Adjustments will be made if necessary. What constitutes a win? - For purposes of this tournament, a team must outscore its opponent by at least 10 Yahoo points in order to move onto the next round. If neither team has a winning margin (10 points), the match will be replayed in the week specified in these rules. If no team has a winning margin (10 points) in the replay, the winner will be the one with the higher aggregate score for the two matches played. In the unlikely event that the aggregate score results in an exact tie, the team with the higher total Yahoo points on the season will advance. Round One - Week 25 - Amateurs Teams seeded (ranked) 47 - 50 will be paired in a random draw. Winners will move onto the second round. Ajax vs. FC Nantes 55.90 : 60.16 Ramstone Athletic vs. Ollies SuperBlades!!!!! 68.15 : 73.49 Round One Replays (if necessary) - Week 26 Ajax vs. FC Nantes 81.86 : 70.51 Ramstone Athletic vs. Ollies SuperBlades!!!!! 79.77 : 41.18 Round Two - Week 27 - Second Division vs First Division The winners from Round One and the teams seeded 33 to 46 will be matched against teams seeded 17 to 32 in a random draw on February 27th. Note: Yahoo has updated the Next Opponents for week 27 but does not yet list the game on 9/3. This week's schedule is rife with potential pitfalls reminiscent of mistakes they made earlier this season. Current Yahoo plans are to include all games from 28/2 through 12/3. Should Yahoo decide this is not what it wants to do after the deadline, and alter the current date range for week 27, any manager may request a second round replay of their cup match. If no request is made, the match results will stand. bennaldos beasts vs. Ramstone Athletic 54.41 : 68.76 Death to Arsenal Scum vs. Torpedo 40.71 : 62.06 sputnik sweethearts vs. Gaetjens & Borghi 107.23 : 63.58 The Nomads vs. Bayern Munich 69.92 : 27.73 Team Canada vs. Ajax 46.57 : 83.73 All My Players Are Metalheads vs. FC O�adea 101.87 : 71.38 Stomil Debica vs. Dinamo 112.37 : 80.33 Off the Post vs. Hometown Unicorns 105.84 : 81.67 OPRF Huskies vs. Scorpions 63.88 : 81.25 Japhy vs. Hooligans 68.46 : 84.77 Tyler Arsenal Knights vs. Tristan Rangers 86.92 : 84.31 River Plate vs. F.C.
