    From Newsgroup: rec.sport.soccer

    Here are the tiers for UPT Season 65. We expect to start the weekend
    of Februray 20-21.

    Tier 1
    -------
    The Doctor
    Mark
    Lleo
    Jesus Petry

    Mark finished second and chooses the leagues.

    Tier 2
    ------
    Blueshirt
    MH
    Werner Pichler
    Jesper Lauridsen


    Tier 3
    ------
    Silver Skull
    Futbolmetrix
    Homer Simpson
    (open)

    Note: milivella made less than the required number of picks, and
    therefore is eliminated from the game. He can of course reapply, but
    he must start from the bottom of the last tier (not that it makes much
    of a difference to hime anyway, but rules are rules...)

    I reapply. 67% of nice opponents is not bad!

    but
    he must start from the bottom of the last tier (not that it makes much

    Why have I the feeling that you won't object to my re-application?

    Great, welcome back. Easiest 6 points evah!

    Why would I? Have I ever exhibited any bias?

    Mark, before replying, remember it's Jesper the Cryptic who spoke.

    He probably means "Estadio Parque Liebig's" or something like that.

    The Argentinian League has a bit of a rubbish format now. The Brazilian
    League is playing midweek for the 1st few weeks of the season, so that
    would be a problem. And I think I've picked Uruguay and Chile as the
    main League before. I think the only 1 of the top 5 South American
    Leagues that hasn't been picked before is Paraguay. I think I'll go for Paraguay and Uruguay.

    For future reference, are we allowed to pick women's leagues?

    I'll do my best, but the experience in the past with these leagues is
    that they have sometimes irregular schedules. So be prepared to have
    some replacement leagues thrown in every once in a while.

    Yes, absolutely.

    Which is, of course, very close to Club Atletico Anglo (a 7 minute walk, actually, if Google Maps has it right).

    Which was totally the reason why I picked this stadium as the meaning of
    the abbreviation, because I'm totally a genius.

    This is exactly what someone who sent me the email for some cryptic
    reason would tell. Indeed, this PS is probably the key to understand the
    whole thing.

    And I'll understand it, because I'm totally a genius.

    (Great catch, Llleo!)

    An interesting story behind all that, IrCOd never heard of
    any of it.
