After examining the post I created a tournament tree. This tournament tree isn't official and it can be full of mistakes. I don't accept any responsibility.  

Kudos for the effort, even if it isn't correct.  

Well I can guarantee it is not correct   The page I used to create brackets actually does random draws for each round. Meaning you can't show it in that way. After we have winners in round 2, they are again randomly drawn. That is why you have all the rounds written in my initial post. Check round 3 matchups and you will see what I am talking about.

Is at least Round 2 draw correct as I was trying to figure out who I am playing against in the next round and according to @CLS63 it should be against arralmuus?

Round 2 is simple enough and could be correct. I am giving political answers until I get home and do it myself 

What CLS63 did should serve nicely to quickly double check my work. I wanted to give merit for it but refrained from it since I am sure somebody would understand that as blessing that draw is correct. Even now I know someone will be asking questions for round 3.

Difficult competition to manage since we have a mix of users that read everything and want to know all the inner workings and casuals that just read part if the information. I was really surprised how many people thought they are free this week even though we mentioned double rounds for cup from the beginning.

Really exciting cup round, 3 games ended up on penalties

I lost to the only guy that got 3 out of 5 correct. Shame, if I'm looking at the draw correctly my opponent would have been Igebotz.
Trofo will update with the schedule tomorrow.

Well played, mv1986 - I'll cheer for you until the end.

______________

As usual, please recheck your results. Mistakes can always happen.

Thank you, cryptofrka! Much appreciated!


What really amazed me was the Barcelona - Real Madrid game... When I saw that you bet on a win for Barcelona, I really didn't expect them to win that game and thought I could be doing well with my draw. But the 0-4 was shocking, holy smokes. It shows that Real Madrid is on point right when they need to be and that counts double for Benzema. His goals are unreal. Some of them look easy but those who played or are still playing soccer know that many of the goals he scores are in fact very difficult.

I thought Real Madrid is not a candidate for the CL title this season. Now I changed my mind.

Anyway, good luck for everyone for the second round!

Even its showing the first round correctly is enough for now. If I created a complication then I'm sorry for that. I wanted to try it as I had free time. I still think that even the full tree is correct.  But the best thing is to wait for the official statement.

Yup, I also feel that Real is the better team. However, Barcelona is doing better in the league and has won their last 3 H2H games before yesterday, so I was tipping on them - especially considering that they were playing at home.

I watched them live recently against Liverpool and they do have what it takes to be champions of Europe again. They just don't have the legs to fight on multiple fronts anymore - but they will be my favorite in any cup game until the end of the season (CL included).

Regarding Benzema - you know that a player is world class when difficult things look so easy. A top player in top form.

Congratulations to all Round 1 winners!
Does anyone know confirmed Cup Round 2 scheduling?
I tried searching in this topic but I couldnt find anything except brackets from CLS63 that are not accurate.
I don't know who my opponent is but I did miserable in my fun answers from Round 1, and I am hoping for better results 

[joker_josue]

Congratulations to all Round 1 winners!

If I had been playing the first round, I would have suffered a heavy defeat!
We'll see how the second round goes, to see if I can surprise.

But I have to renew my squad, because this is not going well.  

[Rikafip]

I still think that even the full tree is correct.

Hm from what I understand, that tree of yours can in the best case scenario be correct only for the 2nd round because after that it will be again random draw.

Does anyone know confirmed Cup Round 2 scheduling?

Nothing yet, waiting for Trofo to publish the official draw.

[Trofo]

Round 2 schedule will be populated with names and released here later today. If you are impatient there is a whole draw availble in one of my posts so you can check it there.

Actually when I examine the post I see it not very complicated. If I'm not very stupid my opponent on the 1st round will become LTU_btc. It is quite nice in terms of transparency that the matchups are being determined already now. Arsenal's black jersey this season is really amazing. I hope I can have a chance to have this jersey by entering top 3.

[darxiaomi]

Ufff man , what a hard rival i have, LFC from first division.

So my message in the question 5 its not aged well "see you in the next round".

One thing about the spreadsheet, i cant read the questions. When i clicked in them it only say "question 2 round 2" for example.

[Harkorede]

I don't think you should judge by the division anybody some got there by showing interest and early some other by being very active in the gambling section, the guy in the top spot in the division 1 isn't even super recognized forum member, so just play your part and don't undermine your self a couple, if not most of these question are mere dice tossing.


I'm currently up against joker_josue and I'm not sure I've ever had face-off with in any competition, at least not that I can't remember of, but then I wouldn't underrate him, neither would I fancy my chances against him.

[buwaytress]

I thought Real Madrid is not a candidate for the CL title this season. Now I changed my mind.

As long as Benzema, and to a degree, Vinicius, are in that squad, and hell, even Modric, they will always be a CL candidate. It's just their playground. Learn this quickly heh.

BigSlam, it's you and me.

Cro2, request no more Liverpool questions, please haha. I'm just going to keep losing those questions, can't help it!

Slissy vs Slackovic, is that the heavyweight tie or what?

[arallmuus]

Match 15 : Rikafip vs arallmuus

Well goodluck to both of us mate @Rikaflip

I've checked that we only have 2 questions with different answers aside from the tiebreaker questions. I'll give you some hints about me, Im one of the worst player in division 1 sitting at 2nd bottom spot right now so its fairly easy to beat me 

One thing about the spreadsheet, i cant read the questions. When i clicked in them it only say "question 2 round 2" for example.

Yeah its abit different from the usual spreadsheet. Anyway if you want to check the questions again just open the link onto the cup's question, its still open though. It should be available if you open it with incognito window

Don't really understand what is the problem. When I open the spreadsheet I just click on the cell and use arrow down to see bottom line of the text. Are you unable to that without editing privileges?

Edit: Just tried it in private mode and I see the problem, will tell my colleague to try and squeeze all in same row next time or to do it in some other way which will be more friendly to all of you.

Thanks for letting us know - looks different in edit mode.
I used enter to separate the questions - I won't do it again then. I agree it doesn't really look good.

I managed to fix it for standard questions, not for the penalties. Hopefully it doesn't cause huge issues.

[Igebotz]

Match 3 : Igebotz vs mv1986

I'm so unlucky, I'm always playing the tougher lucky gafferss

To be champion, you must defeat the best, this is a huge task given our current form; I'm the underdog here with 200/1 odds to win. Buwaytress where are thou?

I'm confident after looking at the spreadsheet, I'm leading with the first h2h question, Q6, 7, 9 don't matter because we have the same answer, we only have Q9, 10 and 11 to battle for, I only need two correct answers to win, Mv1986 needs all three correct answers to win.

[Rikafip]

Well goodluck to both of us mate @Rikaflip

Same to you bud. Btw, my username is Rikafip

I've checked that we only have 2 questions with different answers aside from the tiebreaker questions.

Well there's only 5 questions (not counting tiebraker) so no surprise that we don't have many different answers.

I'll give you some hints about me, Im one of the worst player in division 1 sitting at 2nd bottom spot right now so its fairly easy to beat me 

Don't sell yourself short, you have no idea who are you playing against as my track record so far hasn't been great either. This is going to be clash of the titans. 

[ralle14]

Congrats on the bet, that game is what costed me a position in second round. Most people went with over goals and I was sure that one will end as under.

I was thinking the same thing I thought the game won't be having more than 2 goals.

Nice work, I tried doing the same thing on Challonge as it made me wonder what the bracket would look like once the names are placed but I gave up midway as I can't produce the draw for the upcoming rounds (from Match 17 onwards) while using the same bracket.

Having 2 different questions means the tie could be over before your know it, but it would seem my opponent joker_josue and have the exact opposite mindset, we don't have a single question with the same answer, so it's going likely to be final game to decide the winner, or simply just the best of 3.

Yep, it is made like that on purpose so you cannot really see your path to the final.
We wanted to have a standard 'cup draw' like for example the English FA cup or how CL had it until recently but it would not be possible to make unless we did it offline - which we did not want to do.

[notblox1]

And I didn't expect Newcastle would unload a ton of goals against West Ham but at least I got a winning bet out of it. 

I really like Newcastle this season, they have one of the best defense in EPL but now they showed they can scored goals.
It's going to be interesting to see what they can do in Champions League next season.

Are there any recordings and live streams being prepared for new matches? 
Maybe we can have Twitch streamers who are willing to do this, just one more idea for promotion sponsors of competition
