TOURNAMENT KICK OFF: To the Sepp Blatters Super Knockout Troops! Or, as it shall be forever known, the SBSKO! This Tournament is following the same HOME and AWAY rules as the Super League, except, this is a KO!. For those not familiar with the RULES, take 5 Minutes to Read & Understand We start the Tournament with 73 Players! For you mathematicians out there you will notice that 73 Players is not a great number for a KO Competition. So, 9 unfortunate players will be biting the dust in a Preliminary Round. The Preliminary Round Players are dictated by the Non-League Players (the players who have not started/entered the Super League yet) and 5 players currently playing in the lower Leagues.ROUNDS: - Preliminary Round: 18 Players - 9 are KO'd, 9 Progress - Round 1: 64 Players - 32 are KO'd, 32 Progress - Round 2: 32 Players - Last 16: 16 Players - Quarter-Final - Semi-Final - Final And the Draw in each Round, is always completely RANDOM!SET UP: Each Round is a 2 Leg KO - 1 HOME Match Up and 1 AWAY Match Up. ALL FOGGY. If after that your tie is drawn, it goes to Extra Time and Penalties. 1 Game on each Players Home Map, and 1 Game on a Random Map (ALL SUNNY). ET and Penalties are played concurrently, the PENALTIES Result only being used if required. So that is 3 SUNNY games in total for Extra Time and Penalties.HOME MATCH: For your HOME Match's you will be the GREEN ARMY 2 Games on Map of your Choice (Your Home Map) 2 Games on Random Map You accept Game Invites Last - Can move immediatly taking full advantage of your opponent not getting any snaps!

Each Match Up is a 2 LEG Tie, 1 Home Match and 1 Away Match for each player. Extra-Time and Penalties are played if drawn. And there are some BIG FISH playing in this Round. They do not come much bigger than the TOURNAMENTS 4th SEED, the player who just got KO'd from the Champions League Semi-Final: William Tennant GeeksAreMyPeeps is another Big Fish starting early. He is Ranked 2000+ and is the Tournaments 19th Seed! 9 Match Ups take place. Here are the televised Match's of the Round, on ESPN 4, 3.30AM last Tuesday of every month....................: - William Tennant (4th Seed) (Ranked 2410) V Mrs Chester (72nd Seed) (Ranked 1089) Mrs Chester is the unlucky player to draw the Preliminary Round MONSTER Bill Tennant. - GeeksAreMyPeeps (19th Seed) (Ranked 2004) V TPotter7707 (28th Seed) (Ranked 1863) Ouch, 2 players who would have rather avoided each other at this early stage are pitted against each other in a do or die Match Up! The FULL Preliminary Round Draw and TOURNAMENT SCOREBOARD is attached on this link. For those people new to my Tournaments, go to the bottom of the 1st post and the Scoreboard is attached in a white Box.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Prelim Rd Highlights + Round 1 Draw: That is us well under way now. And we have a player who has already qualified from the Preliminary Round for the Tournament Proper! The Scoreboard which also contains all of the DRAWS is attached here: This shows all current scores. - If the score is in a block it means that LEG of the Match Up is Complete. Red Block (Player lost), Yellow Block (Draw), Green Block (Win). - A score in the box with no colour, LEG is not complete. - No score in the box at all, LEG has not been set up yet. - Where the whole round of a player is in Green Blocks - They won the Tie. - When an entire players row is in Red Blocks, he is KO'd, PUMPED, SCUDDED, DEID, HISTORY, ANNIHALATED. As you can see, 3 Legs are finished already: - Mageplunka69 v General Roy - General Roy takes a lead in his KO Match Up with Mag. It is very close though, General Roy wins 3-1 at HOME, but with an AWAY tie to play on Mag's HOME MAP, JAMAICA this one is still too close to call! - Son!c v mpolo - 43rd v 55th Seed - And this was CLINICAL from the higher ranked player Son!c. His 1st Leg was AWAY from Home, and he won it 3-1. This gave him a major advantage for the 2nd Leg and he didn't even come close to messing it up. He won that 3-1 too to progress with a 6-2 Aggregate win. Son!c into Round 1.........................MPolo is off to discover some Risk Skills................................................Round 1 Draw: Here at the SBSKO, even in Knock-Out Tournaments, we don't let the inconveniency of the Last Round not anywhere near being finished before starting the next Round Round 1 Proper will start to get set up tomorrow. Clearly the games involving a Preliminary Round Player cannot be set up until someone qualifies. The way to see the draw is to simply sort the spreadsheet by 'Round 1' 'Game Number' and it goes into draw order. The same numbers play each other, so 1 plays 1, 2 plays 2, etc. Where a Game Number is attached to 3 Players, 2 of them are currently playing in the preliminary Round and Round 1 will not start until one of them has qualified. It is simple!DRAW HIGHLIGHTS: Round 1 has thrown up some AMAZING TIES. The best Macth Ups are below: - molespe v fuatpanza (13th v 14th Seed) OUCH - orangeblssmspcl v Coors1 (18th v 10th Seed) DOUBLE OUCH - Craig25 v Tin Trumpet (1st v 2nd Seed) I really was tempted to cheat and change the DRAW!, 2 MONSTERS, the top 2 RANKED players in the Tournament. And 1 will head for the EXIT door in Rd 1! - LLC22 v Nimrods Son (6th v 20th Seed) NOT IDEAL! Good Luck Troops! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HIGHLIGHTS: That is this Tournament most definitely underway! Here are the highlights Troops:Prelimenary Round: - TPotter7704 2 v 2 GeeksAreMyPeeps Leg 1: 28th Seed TPootter7704 couldn't make the most of his HOME advantage. Geeks AreMyPeeps managed to hold him to a 2-2 Draw. If Geeks can win at HOME, he will progress to Rd 1! - wendall2000 2 v 2 Ghosteagle Leg 1: 50th v 57th Seed and after Leg 1, they are all square at 2-2. With GhostEagle being at HOME in the 2nd Leg, he is slight FAV to make it through.Round 1: - fuatpanza 2 v 2 Molespe Leg 1: In one of the featured matches' it’s the Tournaments 14th and 13th Seeds facing off against each other. And after Leg 1, nothing is decided between FuatPanza and Molespe. But, Molespe is at HOME in Leg 2, can he take advantage of it though??? - SteenH v Bad-Ape Leg 1: Bad-Ape from League 07 of the Super League was AWAY to SteenH in League12. And 'The Monkey' from League 07 gets a GREAT AWAY WIN. Heading into his HOME Leg, he's 3-1 ahead! If SteenH is to make it through, a comeback is required. For the latest Scoreboard, follow tghis link and it is attached at the bottom of the 1st post in a white box: Watch out for game invites Troops! And, GOOD LUCK! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS!: I take my eys off the ball for 2 days and you guys start SCUDDING games like there is no tommorrow!!! Yesterday, I was at Corporate Hospitality at Ibrox Park. The HOME of the MIGHTY Glasgow Rangers. It was amazing. Hung-over badly though, then I log in here and find 100 games have been SCUDDED! Here are the highlights Troops:Preliminary Round: - william tennant (4th Seed) v MrsChester (72nd Seed) Leg 1 + 2: L1+2: MrsChester gets a rude awakening in the Sepp Blatter Tourneys! She got the worst draw possible and went up against the 4th Seed William Tennant. Bill recorded 2x 4-0 WINS to march into Round 1. MrsChester hopes to fare better in the Super League! - Ghosteagle (50th) v wendall2000 (57th Seed) Leg 2: L2: Our 1st Tie goes to EXTRA-TIME and PENALTIES. Nothing could split the 57th and 50th Seeds Wendall2000 and GhostEagle. They head for Extra-Time and Penalties. 1 Game on Each HOME Map and a RANDOM Map to decide who goes through!! - thelord (49th Seed) v olafthunderfoot (69th Seed) Leg 1: L1: the 69th Seed, OlafThunderfoot gets his Tournament off to a good start. He was AWAY to 49th Seed TheLord and got a Draw in his 1st game. Can he do the business at HOME though??? - Mageplunka69 (60th) v General Roy (61st Seed) Leg 2: A RISK LEGEND has fell at the 1st hurdle in the SBSKO. General Roy beat Mageplunka 3-1 in Leg 1. Mag had to win at HOME to level the Match Up. He couldn't do it. Roy has already won 2 Games to DRAW Leg 2 (Mag will win the last), to send Mageplunka reeling out of the Tournamnent in the Preliminary Round. Mag, another player that needs to find form in time for the Super League Season starting. - ThorDisk (64th Seed) v General Bax (68th Seed) L1: General Bax makes the most of HOME advantage and takes a 3-1 lead over ThorDisk. - krolt (67th Seed) v crazystef (70th Seed) L1: Same again, CrazyStef uses his HOME advntage to race into a 3-1 LEAD over the 67th Seed Krolt L2: But, Krolt COMES BACK. He wins his HOME game 3-1 too to send another Tie to Extra-Time and Penalties. ET=1 game on each HOME Map, Penalties=1 game on a Random Map (all sunny). - GeeksAreMyPeeps (19th Seed) v tpotter7704 (28th Seed) Leg 2: The 28th Seed TPotter7704 gets KO'd by a Tournament Contender GeeksAreMyPeeps. Geeks grabbed a DRAW away from home then done the business on his HOME Map Conquer 500, winning 3-1 and progressing to the next Round with a 5-3 Aggregate win.ROUND 1: - iteachjava (23rd) v Jamie Vanilla (41st Seed) L1: 23rd v 41st seed and it's the 23rd Seed ITeachJava who takes a major step towards the next Round. He WON 3-1 in his AWAY leg to put Jamie Vanilla under pressure! L2: 41st Seed Jamie Vanilla is the 1st player to go in Rd 1. He lost his HOME game 3-1, and put in a great AWAY performance in the 2nd Leg to draw 2-2. But, it wasn't enough. He is out 5-3 on aggregate. Jamie PUMPED, Iteach PROGRESSES. - molespe (13th Seed) v fuatpanza (14th Seed) Leg 2: The 13th and 14th Seeds Molespe and FuatPanza are Dead Locked after 8 games of SBSKO Risk. They head for Extra-Time and Penalties! - Pajarito (8th Seed) v thegroover (37th Seed) L1: The 8th Seed Pajarito looks to be in unbeatable form. He was AWAY in the 1st LEG and practically KO's the 37th Seed TheGroover with a 4-0 destruction. Paj's HOME leg now looks like a formality. - Bad-Ape (57th Seed) v steenh (65th Seed) Leg 2: We didn't wait long for the 2nd player to get PUMPED in Rd 1. This time it was SteenH turn to head for the exit door at the hands of Bad-Ape. BA won the 1st Leg 3-1 and he is 3-0 UP in the 2nd leg. So, without the use of a calculator, he is through 6-1 on aggregate! - general cod (9th Seed) v topdawg (40th Seed) L1: Our 9th Seed takes an AWAY DRAW from the 40h Seed TopDawg. So all square on 2-2 but TopDawg may find it tough on General Cod's HOME Map Jamaica. - Killerz999 (29th Seed) v weaselshane (36th Seed) L1: One for the Underdog. WeaselShane was ranked 115 points LOWER than Killerz999, but, PUMPED him 4-0 to take a HUGE lead into there 2nd leg. - ESQuire (17th Seed) v Sparrticus (22nd Seed) L1: 17th and 22nd Seeds Esquire and Sparrticus face off against each other in Rd 1. And, there will be no crusifixtions today. 1st Leg ends 2-2 - mint-murray (12th Seed) v Silvertop (53rd Seed) L1: Big Score here. 53rd Seed takes a 3-1 HOME Lead over 12th Seed Mint-Murray. MM under pressure to WIN on his HOME turf! More Games are being set up today so look out for invites. And, 'LIVE' Scoreboard is attached here in the usual place:

A cruscifixtion or a Round 1 Exit from the SBSKO. Only our 22nd Seed Sparrticus knows. EsQuire the 17th Seed is through with a 5-3 aggregate win. - dowian2 (11) v wilgusk (47) Leg 1: Dowian2 will almost certainly make it to Round 2. With his HOME game to come, he is already 4-0 Up! Only a sublime RISK display from Wilgusk in the 2nd Leg will keep this tie alive! Good Luck for the rest of the Round Troops! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sadly, some big fish were included in the fallers!!!....... Anyway, as we are all franticly scudding Super League games, plan is to allow Round 1 to almost complete before we move on to Round 2, so you may see a drop off on commentary for a bit. However, THE ROUND 2 DRAW IS MADE ALREADY! Attached here is the 'LIVE' Scoreboard sorted into Round 2 Draw Order.

Thas players dropping out this Tournament like flies now, here are the continued HIGHLIGHTS of the Last 16: - theotherjr (21) v hairypies (42) Leg 2: The 42nd Seed HairyPies is the 1st player to bow out at the Last 16 stage.

TheOtherJR (The one not to be shot) is in the Quarters! - dowian2 (11) v iteachjava (23) Leg 1: Another 2 Big Guns battle it out for a place in the Quarter Final in this Tie.

QUARTER FINALS: WOW, The Tourney got very very Serios in the Last Round. From 74 Players who entered this Tournament, we are down to only 8 left standing! Before we look at the quarters, here are the remaining highlights from the Last 16: - LLC22 (6) v general cod (9) Leg 2: An expert display of SBSKO Risk by the 6th Seed LLC22. He draws his AWAY game, then takes General Cod back to his HOME Map of Stalingrad and pumps him 3-0 to ease his way into the Quarter Finals! - Ukey (5) v ejw2127 (33) Leg 2: We almost had the SHOCK of the Tournament, but, not quite. EJW looked dead and buried after losing the 1st Leg 4-0. Against the 5th Seed UKEY it looked all over. But, he came ROARING BACK in LEG 2 and recorded an AMAZING 3-1 Victory. But he was 1 short of levelling the Tie and is KO'd. Ukey is in the Quarters! - dowian2 (11) v iteachjava (23) Leg 2: Another DRAW for these 2 Monsters of RISK. This tie goes to Extra Time and Penalties! Extra-Time: It was close up to this, but, it was the 11th Seed Dowian2 that held his nerve to send the 23rd Seed ITeachJava to the rails before the Quarters start. Dowian2 WINS 2-0 in Extra-Time - weaselshane (36) v nick11 (54) Leg 1: The underdog plays out his skin to take a 3-1 Lead into Leg 2. Nick11 is over 250 points lower ranked than 'The Weasel' so this would be a bit of a shock if WeaselShane goes out here…. Leg 2: WOW, what a come back. After being 3-1 down from Leg 1, WeaselShane goes on an un-stoppable run, to pump Nick11 4-0 in the return leg to make it into the quarters with no need for ET or Penalties. AMAZING stuff from 'The Weasel'. - william tennant (4) v Bad-Ape (52) Leg 2: In this Match Up, Leg 2 finished BEFORE LEG 1. William Tennant is a player who likes to tke his time. Rumour has it, Once, long, long ago, he actually took a turn twice in the same game in a 24 hour period! (-: In this one, he WON his HOME game 3-1 to take the initiative in the Tie. Leg 1: William Tennant had to win 2 games to get the required amount of Wins to progress. And, the 4th Seed took his chance to KO Bad-Ape in the Last 16. It is currently 1-1 but he has another in the bag to 100% make it at least 5-3, but it will probably finish 6-2. Unlucky BA! AMAZING. In every single Tie this Round, the HIGHER RANKED Player was the player to progress into the Quarters! Here are the Quarter Final Ties, the HIGHEST Ranked Player still standing is william tennant, Ranked 2410 Pre-Tournament. weaselshane is the LOWEST ranked Player still battling it out, he was Ranked 1778 Pre-Tournament. But be warned, 'The Weasel' is an EXPERT at Sepp Blatter RISK! - theotherjr Waterloo (21) V weaselshane Lunar War (36) Both of these players are on a Mission to win one of my Tournaments. A decent draw for each of them. But only 1 can make it to the Semi's! - Ukey Woodboro (5) V dowian2 San Marino (11) UKEY, fresh from SCUDDING the PREMIER LEAGUE in Sepp Blatters Super League in Season 2 is most definitely the FAV here. But a tough draw for the CHAMP! - LLC22 Stalingrad (6) V allanxo Europa (31) A tough Draw for our 31st Seed. Would it be a massive shock if Allanxo KO'd LLC22 from the Tourney??? - Keefie Battle For Iraq (7) V william tennant Northwest Passage (4) Tie of the Round, 7th v 4th Seeds. Almost nothing to split these 2. But, they have played each other 28 times in 2 Player games. And it's KEEFIE who has a MASSIVE ADVANTAGE. He has 17 WINS versus Bill who has only won 11!

- Ukey (5th Seed) v dowian2 (11th Seed)
Extra-Time: BIG NEWS, the reigning Super League Premier Champion has just been KO'd in Extra-Time by the 11th Seed Dowian2. Hold the front page. When interviewed after the match UKEY put his defeat down to playing a weakened team so that he could concentrate on the League.....
- LLC22 (6th Seed) v allanxo (31st Seed)
Extra-Time: Allanxo's amazing run in the Super League has been brought to an end in ET. The 31st Seed had an amazing Tourney, but he faced a 6th Seed LLC22 in Top form both In the Cup and the League. LL through 2-0 in added time.
- william tennant (4th Seed) v Keefie (7th Seed)
Leg 1: Battle of the Big Guns here, and on his HOME Map. Keefie takes a 3-1 Lead in the Tie. William Tennant is under pressure now…..
Leg 2: This is over, with 1 game remaining, which is 100% going Keefie's way. Bill Tennant crashes out and his quest to win a Tourney from Craig25 continues. He's in good company, I ain't won one myself! Keefie marches on to face LLC22 in the Semis.

Now for our Semi-Fianlists, nobody wants to be a losing Semi-Finalist............................:
-
LLC22 Stalingrad 6th Seed V Keefie Battle For Iraq 7th Seed This pair, both RISK LEGENDS have only played each other 7 times in 2 player games. Keefie has won 4 versus LL's 3 so nothing to split them. 27 points of a ranking difference pre-tournament doesn't tell us much either. 1 difference in pre-tournament Seedings. This could go either way. Both priced at 10/11 to progress to the Final by Las Vegas Bookmakers utilising the latest analysis techniques.
-
dowian2 San Marino 11th Seed V theotherjr Waterloo 21st Seed And these 2 players have NEVER played each other in a 2 player game!!! 10 Seedings split them though, pre-tournament, Dowian2 was 248 points HIGHER Ranked. Dowian2 with slightly more Tournament experience than TheOtherJr goes into this one as slight favourite. JR priced at 5/4 to make it through, Bookies have Dowian2 Odds-On at 4/6.
Okay Troops, Good Luck in the Semi's!!!

AWAY from Home, LLC22 SCUDS Keefie 4-0 on his Home Map in Iraq. Which coincidentally, is where Saddam Hussein used to keep his CD's...............................All kidding aside, Keefie looks absolutely PUMPED. He needs a miracle to recover from this!!!
- dowian2 San Marino v theotherjr Waterloo
Dowian2 was the AWAY player in the 1st Leg in this Tie. And, he has taken a very commanding lead. Heading into the 2nd Leg and he is 3-1 Up against TheOtherJR. With a HOME Leg to come for Dowian2. JR is not quite shot yet, but, 100% he is in the shit!
2nd Legs will get set up tonight.
Good Luck Troops!

SBSKO: The Final!!!
74 Players started the Sepp Blatter Super League, and only 2 remain. An amazing performance from our 2 finalists so survive 622 gruelling Games and 6 Nightmare Rounds of SBSKO RISK!
I now pass you over to our Guest Co-Commentator. Before we look at the final, here are the Semi-Final HIGHLIGHTS:
LLC22 caught fire at the right time and essentially knocked out Keefie with a 4-0 Away victory at the Battle for Iraq in the first leg before finishing the score by settling 2-2 at home.
theotherjr pulled off the comeback upset against Dowian2 in a hard fought series where he went down 1-3 at HOME before levelling 3-1 at Dowian's home of San Marino, and sweeping the extra time 2-0.
Congrats to both Players on an excellent series so far, but there can only be ONE SBKSKO champion!
THE FINAL PREVIEW:
6 Seed LLC22 vs 21 Seed theotherjr
The bookies have installed LLC22 as a small 4/5, -120 favorite, but the smart money's coming in strong on theotherjr. Can he complete his Cinderella story and become SBSKO champion from the 21 seed? It's not been done before, but theotherjr certainly seems capable, having already dispatched the 10 seed (Coors1) and 11 seed (Dowian2) in the tournament. His prowess on his home map of Waterloo is unquestionable where he's amassed an impressive 73% win rate and LLC22 has historically struggled, with a -84 rating across 42 games. It may come down to who can steal an away victory as LLC22 has similarly shimmering 62% winrate on his home of Stalingrad!
FINAL SETTINGS: A 2 Leg Final with Extra-Time and Penalties if still Drawn.
Initial Troops = Automatic
Play Order = Sequential
Spoils = Random Every Round (No Spoils)
Reinforcements = Random Every Round (Adjacent)
Round Limit = None
So Troops, All that is left is for Sepp to Say ' LET THE FINAL COMMENCE'!

The Final - Leg 1:
This Match Up between the FAVOURITE, LLC22 and, the CHALLENGER, TheOtherJr will decide who picks up their 1st ever TITLE WIN of one of my tournaments. And given the number of games involved and the quality of player participating, that is no easy feat!
Leg 1 HIGHLIGHTS:
The Challenger, TheOtherJR was at HOME on his HOME Map of Waterloo...........
But, it was the AWAY Player, LLC22 who shot into an early lead on one of the Random Maps: France 2.1. The Favourite going 1-0 UP in his AWAY games, a great start.
BUT...........
On his HOME MAP, The OtherJR started battling on Waterloo and turned it around to WIN both and give himself a 2-1 Lead.
AND............
The next game was crucial, a 2-2 result would 100% give the AWAY Player LLC22 the edge. But it wasn't to be.......
THE CHALLENGER WINS THE LAST on Salem's Switch to give himself a great shot at the TITLE in Leg 2.
Current Score:
TheOtherJR 3 v 1 LLC22
Leg 2:
LLC22 0 v 0 TheOtherJR
Good Luck Guys!
