Evening one and all, and welcome to the CHASM World Championships.
Our 26 winners plus two strongest runners-up have now been placed into the following groups:
Group A
FC Santa Caloma (Andorra) Uthai Thani Forest (Thailand) Yoker Athletic (Scotland) FC Dinamo-Auto Tiraspol (Moldova)
Group B
Renofa Yamaguchi (Japan) IBV Vestmannaeyjar (Iceland) FC Domagnano (San Marino) Blooming FC (Bolivia)
Group C
FC Oss (Netherlands) Vikingur Gota (Faroe Islands) Zaglebie Lubin (Poland) Ethiopian Coffee (Ethiopia)
Group D
Gibraltar United (Gibraltar) Club de Futbol Pachuca (Mexico) BK Hacken (Sweden) Necaxa (Mexico)
Group E
Kongsvinger (Norway) Qormi FC (Malta) Fylkir (Iceland) Jomo Cosmos (South Africa)
Group F
Tout Puissant Mazembe (The Congo) FC Saturn Romenskoye (Russia) Curacao FC (Curacao) FC Winterthur (Switzerland)
Group G
Mighty Jets (Nigeria) Loughborough University (England) Xelaju MC (Guatemala) Ararat Yerevan (Armenia)
Each team will now play every other team in their group over a series of three gameweeks. All you need to do each gameweek, is cut and paste the list of fixtures I post, and send me a PM or e-mail (to sandbachhatter@hotmail.co.uk) indicating which team in each fixture you prefer - either by highlighting your favourite, or marking them with a *. Please don't post your votes on this thread.
I'll then count up the votes (which will essentially act as goals) and around midday Friday will reveal the scores. Each winning team will score three points, and it's one for a draw. I'll keep a note of the 'goal difference' to, in case that is required.
All very straightforward, so the first set of fixtures will follow shortly...

5 lots of votes in so far, and some of the fixtures could not be closer! Remember, the deadline for votes is midday on Friday.

Just an hour and a half until the first deadline.
In hindsight, I wonder whether it would be better for me to keep the league tables under wraps until the end of the group stages, so as to not influence any votes in Weeks 2 and 3?
Unless anyone has any major objections (if so, send me a PM), I think that's what we'll do.

Time is up, and the phone lines are now closed. Please do not send me any more votes, as they will not be counted but you may still be charged.
I will be keeping the league tables a secret until the end of the group stage, so as to not influence any future votes, but what I can say is that, with an even number of voters until the last few hours, a few fixtures were heading for a draw, only for an injury time winner to sway the results. As such, all teams are currently on either three points or zero, but with two group fixtures still to play, the standings could all change.
The second round of group fixtures will follow soon.

The final results of the group stage fixtures are now in, and the tables have been updated.
Since we had an uneven number of votes each week, there was no chance for any fixtures to end in a draw, although some late votes did swing matches in favour of one team over another.
Remember, it's only the winner of each group, plus the strongest runner-up, who progress to our Quarter-Finals, which will start next week.
Bear with me while I try to upload the final group tables for you...

Apologies, but that's the best I could get it all to line up.
So, having just announced the Quarter-Finals will start next week, it turns out we need a play-off first, as Blooming FC and Qormi FC are exactly tied as our best runners-up.
What I suggest, is that we have a play-off until midday on Tuesday, solely between Blooming FC and Qormi. Please PM me in private with your preference, and I will announce the winner and the 8th team to make the Quarter-Finals on Tuesday afternoon.
Cheers
