    What to do
    -----------

    Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away? In any case:
    remember that it's single-leg, and a draw qualifies the team with the
    X on its side.

    *Home*
    - Before Wednesday 2026-04-08, 23:59 GMT
    - Pick one team from each of the two matches.

    *Away*
    - After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked his
    teams) and before kickoff of the first match
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if he hasn't
    picked any team, you have free choice)
    - Their opponents will represent your opponent

    *ATTENTION: NEW RULE*: If the away player doesn't pick any team before
    his/her deadline, the home player will be represented by the team that
    achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams.
    If the home player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the away
    player can pick two teams (one from each match), and he/she will be
    represented by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her
    two picked teams.. If nobody picks a team, teams are assigned
    randomly.)

    PI1: Mark - Homer Simpson

    Have you been drinking?

    In the self-interest of trying to win, I would have picked
    Manchester City myself... oh hang on, I still can!

    Manchester City!!!

    Which basically means it's a win/win scenario for me ... :)

    Chelsea + Alaves = cheves -> cerveza. I see why you thought that.

    Hopefully we have finished the processing of the Event by now and are
    ready to come back to the league in season 66 and kick whatever is there
    to be kicked. In the meantime, however...

    I'd have thought the doctor was more likely to be a bot than Silver
    Skull. What makes you think Silver Skull (or MH?) is a bot?
