double posting coz why not.

Next round matchup highlights:
5 Sabre of Valiente - Galaxy Walkers 10
1 Tide of Fire - Phoenix Warriors 4
2 Tatatallfella - new jersey2 6
19 Doncaster Hawks - Lithuania BC 13
62 Extremadabra - M Dogs 23

3 more d1 matchups! Extremadabra who knocked out d1 opposition Deportivo San Andreas in the last round get the chance to knock out the team sitting bottom of the other side of the conference next week. Doncaster Hawks (the highest ranked d2 team) get d1 opposition also. That makes 4 teams who if the draw fell differently could expect to make the last 8 at least are going out, good news for those rooting for the outsiders. On that note, two d3 teams will be guaranteed to be in the last 16.

I don't get another home draw but instead get the lowest ranked team left, heh. You could say I'm feeling like someone needs to point me in the direction of some toast and peanut butter...

Thanks for the report mate! What a set of matchups next week!

Double posts in a thread like this are fairly common and appropriate.

Though this one isn't!

ROUND FOUR SUMMARY
The fourth round saw the departure of last seasons finalist in Durham Wasps who was overcome by fellow EBBL team, Club Deportivo San Andres by a score of 108-96. Tatatallfella cruised past tough opposition in 14th seed, Triximos Tricks, to win by a margin of 31 points to book a place in the fifth round whilst all other EBBL sides made it through despite a close game for Camborne Crusaders who edged past division III side, Athletic Van Goof.

ROUND FIVE SUMMARY
The fifth round saw a further two teams crash out as Bethnal Green Erks lost to fellow EBBL side, Camborne Crusaders by a score of 94-75 along with Extremadabra defeating Club Deportivo San Andres by a margin of 23. Credit has to go to division III side, Hereford Bulls, who pushed Tatatallfella all the way with the latter winning by 9 points thanks to a strong last quarter.

The sixth round will see three match ups between EBBL sides in what looks an absolutely enthralling round. Top seed, Tide of Fire, will travel to the home of Phoenix Warriors, whereas new jersey2 host former champion, Tatatallfella and Galaxy Walkers take on Sabre of Valiente in the other game. There is also other games to get excited about with Lithuania BC hosting a strong division II side in Doncaster Hawks and Extremadabra looking to knock out an EBBL opponent for consecutive rounds after drawing M Dogs.

Teams are as follows:
EBBL (11/16)
II.1 (3/16)
II.2 (3/16)
II.3 (2/16)
II.4 (3/16)

Good luck to all teams on Thursday.

Note: Thanks go out to Arsenal 98 for continuing with the reports, work seems to be non stop at the moment and I'm just not getting enough time to do these but I will continue to do them and try my best to deliver them between rounds. Thanks to all of you for your understanding.

Tide of Fire battered Phoenix Warriors who put out a weakened lineup whereas the other two games were much closer. new jersey2 won against Tatatallfella in an edgy match with the former winning by a score of 105-95. The game between Sabre of Valiente and Galaxy Walkers proved to be even closer with the former producing a good last quarter performance to book a spot in the last 16 winning by a margin of 8. Only one EBBL didn't make it through with Halucagenic Dayglo losing to 118th seed, london tower, by a score of 108-121 meaning Lithuania BC defeated Doncaster Hawks and M Dogs beat Extramadabra.

There is also another EBBL match-up with new jersey2 hosting Lithuania BC. Los Mikitos and Sabre of Valiente also face challenging opposition with the former travelling to Arsenal 98 and the latter playing against Kotwa.

Teams are as follows:

ROUND SEVEN SUMMARY
The round of the last 16 saw two eagerly anticipated match ups between EBBL sides which saw both home teams come out victorious to guarantee a spot in the quarter finals of this seasons cup as Camborne Crusaders produced a fantastic display to edge out favourites, Tide of Fire, by a score of 82-95 whereas new jersey2 defeated Lithuania BC by a margin of 15 to make the most of the home advantage. Another EBBL's team cup run also come to an end tonight with M Dogs losing to division II side, T20 Cricketers, by a score of 96-74 to give hope to the division II faithful. Los Mikitos and Sabre of Valiente overcome there challenge of facing division II opposition by defeating Arsenal 98 and Kotwa respectively.

The draw for the quarter finals dents the chances and the hope's for the community of seeing a division II team win the cup as all EBBL sides avoiding each other and left division II sides facing uphill challenges on Thursday. The pick of the four match ups sees holders, Los Mikitos, face up against Kapsakus. All the other games will also be closely contested as Silent Hill. play Camborne Crusaders, new jersey2 are matched up against Spoiled and the T20 Cricketers face off against Sabre of Valiente.

EBBL (4/16)
II.1 (2/16)
II.2 (0/16)
II.3 (1/16)
II.4 (1/16)

Good luck to all teams.

Shocked to see Vecx go out, I thought he was nailed on for the tournament, so well done to Cranston for the upset.

QUARTER FINALS SUMMARY
The quarter finals saw all four fixtures have an EBBL side compete against a division II side, with both bidding to make the semi finals. The games saw all the favourites prevail with none of the division II sides able to keep in touch with the class of the top division sides. Silent Hill were closest in causing an upset against Camborne Crusaders but the latter delivered a terrific second quarter display to win 88-103. The T20 Cricketers were the next closest but never really troubled Sabre Of Valiente who run out comfortable winners by a margin of 26 whilst the other two games saw the EBBL sides, new jersey2 and Los Mikitos, run out victorious in excess of 40 points.

The draw for the semis saw four EBBL teams left standing, featuring two from each conference. As it happens, both games are inter-conference battles as Camborne Crusaders play new jersey2 and Los Mikitos bid to become the fifth team to win back-to-back cups but have Sabre of Valiente standing in their tracks.

Teams are as follows:
EBBL (4/16)
II.1 (0/16)
II.2 (0/16)
II.3 (0/16)
II.4 (0/16)

Good luck to the four remaining teams.
