Given the ongoing impact that Covid infection cases are having on the fixture list, and having consulted with mfb_cufc, this is to confirm that the preference is that the qualifiers will be determined after the requisite 160 predictions. Whilst we still hope that concludes on Saturday 1st January, which as things stand will be a 14-match round following the loss of four (so far) of the Boxing Day fixtures, if further postponements impact those 14 games chosen and thus fail to achieve the 160 predictions required, to be equitable to all qualification will extend to Saturday 8th January, but no further. If we still haven't reached 160 matches by then, we will call a halt and identify the qualifiers at that point. |  |
