Congratulations to all of you and VWP that there have not had to be any walkovers this time. In fact your have finished a week earlier than the deadline.
I will probably do the draw on Thursday.
Given there will only be 4 ties to complete I suggest a shorter deadline this time - so competitors please keep any eye on this thread.
I will also be retiring the HUFA call-out thread now. In the beginning when there were so many fixtures to play it made it easier for me to keep track of everything. With only 7 matches to arrange before we have a winner I think I can cope with that all being done in this one thread now.

Pfft. Can concentrate on the FA Cup now I'm out of the Milk/Coca-Cola/Rumbelows Cup.

I still find it strange that the league cup was once sponsored by milk! Sorry to derail, I realise this sort of post should be on PNTPP Jackson's diary thread.

That was no milk, but a large G&T that did you in. that and being able to see your cards.
I had a bit of time so got myself set up to do a live stream on youtube. Had to install new s/w and register for a site etc, then found the resolution wasn't looking great on the split screen (was going to show the draw on my excel spreadsheet and the ball machine at the same time).
Anyway gave up and starting to record the draw the old way - got to the end - battery had gone on camera. Only got the first 2 numbers in the can.
I'll be away on business for the rest of the week.
Therefore do I
a) Publish the draw anyway - you all trust me by now right? b) Wait until at least the weekend and do a redraw.
No, you cannot see the draw before deciding whether you want a redraw!
If I have 0 objections - or only a small number of objections (say under 100) I will post the draw this evening. Seems fair and democratic and all that. Sorry for the lost entertainment value.
Oddly the only 2 players who spoke up for the draw to be published without the video are the only two who I can prove came out of the machine with video evidence.
There will be an East Lancs derby - in fact one is from Burnley and one supports Burnley so I guess they are related?
Also a plopper derby, so we are guaranteed a plopper in the semi-finals.
I believe it's my first time away this competition forgot I'm supposed to seek out the battle. Adam I'll find you in chat sometime and we can do battle. I'm usually on a lot, although exams means less time at the tables this week for me.

Was a good match good luck for the rest of the tournament Churchy.
