    Those nutjobs at the English Championship have matches on the 26, the
    29, and January 1. We are going to go with the latter, so the deadline
    for picking is Thursday, not Wednesday.

    Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away?

    *Away*
    =- After Thursday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their
    teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday 2024/1/1
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't
    picked any team, you have free choice)
    =- their opponents will represent your opponent

    (If the away player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the home
    player will be represented by his preferred team. If nobody picks a
    team, teams are assigned randomly.)

    Imagine if Werner doesn't pick...

    That's probably why he's done away with the new rule for this round.

    No, that was a mistake. The new rule (by now not that new) is still very
    much in effect this round.

    City & Villa.

    However, now it's not time for planning the future. Now. It's. Time. To. Party!!!

    A bicontinental victory party is being organized on the spot for tomorrow.

    I think it's appropriate for you to party. A historic come-from-behind victory against the master of UPT, despite facing a somewhat unfriendly (some would say downright hostile) attitude from the gamemaster. Well deserved, congratulations!

    Here is the list of UPT league champions:

    Mark 12
    MH 7
    Werner 6
    Jesus 6
    Betty 5
    Futbolmetrix 5
    milivella 4
    El Kot 3
    Scrutineer 2
    Diabolik 2
    Abubakr 1
    Clement 1
    Doctor 1
    Homer 1

    milivella's fourth title, now creeping up on the top 5. Congratulations again!

    Party!!!

    A bicontinental victory party is being organized on the spot for tomorrow.

    I think it's appropriate for you to party. A historic come-from-behind >victory against the master of UPT, despite facing a somewhat unfriendly
    (some would say downright hostile) attitude from the gamemaster. Well >deserved, congratulations!

    Here is the list of UPT league champions:

    Mark 12
    MH 7
    Werner 6
    Jesus 6
    Betty 5
    Futbolmetrix 5
    milivella 4
    El Kot 3
    Scrutineer 2
    Diabolik 2
    Abubakr 1
    Clement 1
    Doctor 1
    Homer 1

    milivella's fourth title, now creeping up on the top 5. Congratulations again!

    I am going for Number 2!
