After a quick straw poll at ELG last Wednesday I have decided to limit the entries to the Chaos Cup to teams at or below 1800 (including MNG players and cash).
There where three options; No Limit, A highish limit but excluding the really high teams, only Rookie teams that have not played any games before, with the consensus being the middle option. Some coaches would not enter if there was no limit, and some felt that having Mutations (the award for winning the Cup) on a rookie team would not be ideal.
I am also minded to add an additional award to the underdog team who plays against the greatest TV difference. This is for lower TV teams to have a reason to take on the bigger teams. Possibly 1 Mutation but suggestions welcome.
Rules:
The draw is:
Eighth 1, The Exquisite Host (Miasmic Endorphins) vs Raise Hell - The Exquisite Host Won
Eighth 2, Hella Mentals vs Endhiem AC - Hella Mentals Won
Eighth 3, Underminders vs Highborn Hitters - Highborn Hitters Won
Eighth 4, Chris Rookie vs Underworld Underdogs - bye for Underworld Underdogs
(Eighths should be played next week.)
Quarter 1, Overlooked vs Death Eaters - Death Eaters Won
Quarter 2, Dollars vs Owr Orcs - Dollars Won
Quarter 3, The Exquisite Host (Winner of Eighth 1) vs Hella Mentals (Winner of Eighth 2) - Hella Mentals won
Quarter 4, Highborn Hitters (Winner of Eighth 3) vs Underworld Underdogs (Winner of Eighth 4) - Highborn Hitters won (TV diff 380)
Semi 1, Death Eaters (Winner of Quarter 1) vs Dollars (Winner of Quarter 2)
Semi 2, Hella Mentals (Winner of Quarter 3) vs Highborn Hitters (Winner of Quarter 4)
Final, Dollars (Winner of Semi 1) vs Hella Mentals (Winner of Semi 2)
Entered Teams (numbers are now out of date):
As usual please do not hesitate to suggest changes, ask for clarifications, etc.

Rules:
- The Chaos Cup is a knockout competition and will run in May 2017, so the maximum number of teams will be 32 as there are 5 weeks available.
- Only coaches who apply will be entered, cut off date is midnight on the 27th of April. The team that you enter with will be required to be specified on application.
- Maximum team value is 1800, including MNG players and cash. Teams who are not 100% up to date on the WBBL website will not be accepted (if the team has Season 31 games to play this constraint may be relaxed but the maximum value will not be).
- The teams will be sorted by value so that at least initially teams will be playing others of similar value.
- If any byes are needed they will be applied to the teams with the higher values to provide more games to the lower value teams.
- If a game cannot be played then the coach that could have played progresses onto the next match and their team will be allowed a Friendly. Otherwise teams in the Cup are not allowed to play Friendlies until they have been knocked out.
- Cards can only be used if both coaches agree.
The draw is:
Eighth 1, The Exquisite Host (Miasmic Endorphins) vs Raise Hell - The Exquisite Host Won
Eighth 2, Hella Mentals vs Endhiem AC - Hella Mentals Won
