With 3 days to go until October, I think we're ready to start the final round. There are a couple of matches left to resolve (Sussex vs Lille and Presovsky vs Trentino-Sudtirol) but neither should affect the top 2 of each group.
Qualified from Group A:
🇬🇧 Yorkshire Terriers
🇬🇧 Somerset Wyvern
Qualified from Group B:
🇮🇹 Emilia-Romagna
🇬🇧 Sussex
Toscana narrowly missed out in Group A, while UK & Ireland champions Leinster were 3rd in Group B only on their head-to-head record with Sussex. Full standings are here. Thanks to all the teams who took part in the first round, and I hope to see you in a future event.
So we will have three English teams vying to beat the current European champions. The schedule is:
To start 15th October
Round 1
Yorkshire Terriers vs Sussex
Emilia-Romagna vs Somerset Wyvern
To start 15th November
Round 2
Somerset Wyvern vs Yorkshire Terriers
Sussex vs Emilia-Romagna
To start 15th December
Round 3
Yorkshire Terriers vs Emilia-Romagna
Somerset Wyvern vs Sussex
We are ready to start the 2020 Europa Cup!
12 teams from 4 different leagues will be competing for the title of European Champion (a title currently held by Emilia-Romagna). In the first round there will be 2 groups of 6 teams playing a round-robin. The two best-ranked teams in each group at the end of September will progress to the final round, where four teams will play for the Cup.
See below for the groups and the schedule of fixtures. Team admins can send challenges for the first two rounds of fixtures immediately, both to start on 15th March.
The rules can be read here.
Draw
The draw was made by drawing random numbers on random.org. The schedule was made using this website .The groups were randomly drawn using the following rules: 1) To maximise playing teams of a different nation, each group will have 2 British/Irish teams, 1 French team, and either 1 or 2 Italian and Slovakian teams. 2) To give fair chances to all national champions, the winner of each national league is seeded so that each group has two national champions (with Emilia-Romagna representing Italy, as Italy’s 2nd-placed team and current European Champions).
