Shanghai Premier League

Amigo's and Amiga's,

We have had to protect El Presidente.
In his search for ever better and more exciting cup draws, he was about to go over the top.
Last season we had the highest cup draw at Yamada tower.
Last year Freek went all the way out to India for the Santa Cup draw.

Now for the 2010 SPL Cup draw we found him tying together rubber strings for an attempt to do a cup draw while bungee jumping of the newly opened Burj-al-dubai.
We had to interfere. We love our president too much.

So we went back to basics.
The innocent hand of a child did the SPL cup draw 2 nights back.
(child in case being Anna, daughter of our webmaster, you must have seen her supporting her dad's team Flamenkos at the sidelines, or perhaps you remember her stealing the corner post flag at one of your games)

You can double check on the draw in the movie below, and the result of the draw in the file to the side (ru.
OK, I admit. Perhaps the cards aren't very readable.
If you insist, you could download a better copy of the movie here (mind you, it's 165MB!), where the cards may be read.

But hey, it was a fair draw...
The fact that Flamenkos have to play the qualifier is proof of that, isn't it?

May the best team hold the SPL cup this year!


On behalf of the SPL Comittee,
Frederik Geirnaert
