	David Holmes Thanks for setting this up Dave!
	Stephen Elsley Dave thanks for setting this up. I have 2 games showing on my game list for the original efl tourney. Do I still need to play these games? Thanks
	Dave Kempshall Hi Stephen - no, no need to play these. I asked M S R to remove them, but I don't think he's got round to it. They won't count towards this rebooted version.
	Stephen Elsley Hi Dave, thank you
	Dave Kempshall With a bit of assistance from Nude, Soap, Plum and Waldorf we have over half the game played in just 8 days. Great effort everyone :)
	Dan Spinks Dave, I think the league table is drunk
	Dave Kempshall Had an unexpected data loss :( Trying to fix it, but working away in Saudi Arabia, so may take a little while.
	Andy SC We'll pay you more than they are to fix it in the next few hours :)
	Dan Spinks I'm fairly sure Luton Town can't match Saudi money

	Dave Kempshall Think we're back up to speed, but do let me know if I've made any errors. I shall invoice you directly Andy :)
	Andy SC With all the new investment. Luton are hiring the services of Apterous Rex.
	David Holmes I think I've played 17 not 16?
	Stephen Elsley Is this tourney still running? I still have outstanding games to play. Thanks
	Dave Kempshall Yes, as mentioned in the notes, the first half of the season has been up for a while, the second half of the season will go live on Feb 1st, although I'll likely hold back the last few fixtures for some end of season jeopardy al a real life.

Tourney round: EFL Championship 24/25 (reboot): League Stage

<< Sign-ups

Notes from the organizer: Thanks for confirming your interest guys. We have 16 managers keen to keep this going, so it would be a shame not to run it.

With that in mind, the sensible option here is to lose 4 teams from the real Championship taking the league to 20 teams. 4 of those teams will be managed by lower level bots.

I’ll front load the first half of the season now, so everyone should have 19 games to get played straight away.

Then, at some point (currently plan on Feb 1st) I’ll also load up the second half of the season. All deadlines for first and second half of the season will be be 26th May - we will then move to the play-offs and I’ll liaise with M S R about how that all works alongside the Premier League next season and who will run things moving forward.

I will also plan an EFL Championship Cup competition, which will likely be loaded up in the new year. This will take a group stage format followed by knockout stages. I reserve the right to decide to abandon that though should we be struggling to get league fixtures played. Don’t want to overload you.

Same format at always for football. Champions League with goals scored for winning a round with a max.

I’ll try and keep the table as up to date as possible, but it’s likely that, due to the fixture upload, this will be of limited use as some people will have played more games than others.

Best of luck everyone!
