Happy League 2023/24 Week 1 (of 38) - Deadline Saturday 5th August 15.00 22:05 - Jul 16 with 3199 viewsmfb_cufc

A warm welcome to all members old and new, as the Happy League is about to start its 21st season. Due to some personal issues, the creator of this League, MrHappy, will not be taking part this season. Hope to see him return again soon. With numbers down to their lowest level for a long time, any new members are most welcolme. There are a few changes from last season. The main one being the Midweek League Cup is finishing, after running for two seasons. I apologise to anybody who is going to miss this competition, but a big number of members decided this competition was not for them last season, and I am not continuing with a competition where little more than half the members want to take part. With the Midweek League Cup finishing, I have decided the Super Cup will revert back to the Charity Shield once again. So basically everything has gone back to how it was three seasons ago. The final change is, after 13 excellent seasons of running the U'sual Champions League, wessex_exile is having a well earned rest, and I will be taking over the administration of that competition this season.

There is no need to register for the coming season, as any member who took part last season, will automatically be registered for this season. Just post your predictions to confirm your registration. For any new members thinking about joining, it is a free to enter competition with prizes. You can join just by posting you predictions for Week 1 on this thread.

The four competitions are:-

Happy League This is a 38 Week season. Fixtures will be 25 weeks of 6 games, and 13 of guest pick 10 games, making 280 in total. There are two divisions, with 12 members in the Premier, and all other members (including newcomers) in Division One. Three to be relegated from the Premier, and three promoted from Division One (the top two automatically, and one from the play-offs). A personalised Colchester United clock for the Premier Champion. The season will start on Saturday 5th August. For any newcomers it is 3 points for a correct score, and one point for a correct result. Fixtures can be found below.

After last seasons promotion and relegation the two leagues as they stand at the moment are (In alphabetical order):-




Happy Cup This competition is to continue in its original format as a knockout one. There will be replays for drawn games. The 1st Round would ideally have 32 members. If we fail to get this, then to have 16 members for the 2nd Round, there will be three member games, with the two top scorers going through. The competition will start with FA Cup 1st Round fixtures on 4th November. The winner will get a personalised Colchester United mug. All details will be in the Happy Cup thread sometime in October.

Charity Shield After two seasons of the Super Cup this end of season competition is reverting back to the Charity Shield. There is also one change from the original format. To honour the Division One Champion, they will replace the member who finished third in the Premier, and be joined by the top two in the Premier, and the Happy Cup winner.

U'sual Champions League The qualification for this competition will be decided on 1st January (Week 22). Last seasons winner unitedwhites will qualify automatically, the other eleven qualifiers will be the highest point scorers over the two divisions on the aforementioned date. The competition will start on 13th February, when the Champions League knockout stage begins. A new administration, but the fornat will remain the same. There will be more details on a separate thread art the beginning of February.

A reminder of a rule, mainly for any newcomers. That is anybody failing to post their predictions four weeks in a row, will be dismissed from all Happy League competitions. There is no need for this to happen. If you are not going to be around to post your predictions any week, just let me know in advance what default score you require, e.g. all 1-0's, 2-1's etc. Anybody failing to post anything at all will receive no points for that week.
