TIE-BREAKER PREDICTION: Specify the minute (from 1st to 90th) when you think the fastest goal from the matches above will be scored. Example: if you think the first goals in each match were scored in the 14th, 42nd, 31st and 12th minute respectively, just say 12th minute.

Beagles Trophy Final
Minnesota United 4-2 MK Dons
Firstly -- congratulations to Minnesota United, who take the Beagles Trophy with a 4-2 victory in the Final! It's their second Beagles Trophy victory, after their maiden win in Season 20, but certainly they and manager Attila-Gyula Varady will have their eyes on the bigger prize next season!
And speaking of that bigger prize: We're off to extra time, as the 90 minutes can't separate the two sides, with each potting three goals in regulation! And, oh my -- B36 Tórshavn comes out firing and scores early on in the extra period. but this isn't golden goal... the upstart side have some defending to do. They hold strong against several attacks down the wing from VVV Venlo, and -- what's this? Oh no! A break for the Premier League Champions right at the death of extra time draws us level and takes us to penalty kicks!!
After Extra Time
Dudley Cup Final
VVV Venlo 4-4 B36 Tórshavn (AET)
In penalty kicks, it's clear that both sides are nervous, but for different reasons. B36 Tórshavn having never been here before and VVV Venlo, with all their experience, trying to pull off the dream season. Up to the spot they step, one after another...
and what a save by the keeper, to give the upstart B36 Tórshavn squad their first hardware! They didn't know the pressure they were under, and played impressively well winning it in a dramatic 4-3 PK Shootout! Congratulations to them and manager Michael Monteleyola!

GG Stefan, that was an amazing final.
Congratz nice game, and so close for me aswell.
Honda (ex VVV player) made 2-2 if he didn't I would have got it.
Anyways, see you again next season for the Caledonian Shield :P

It's confirmation time!
Here's the list of teams from each division. An R alongside them means they're relegating. If a team from Premier League/Championship fails to confirm, the first relegating team in the standings saves themselves. The teams with P alongside are obviously promoting from Championship/Division. Any managers with R3 alongside will be starting next season in Division.
So all you have to do is either post here with #confirm or PM me with the same message. If you wish to change the team, please remember that you will automatically start next season in Division. If you are a team listed as promoting, you will drop to Division and the next team below the line advances. However, let's try and limit the team changing to a minimum or we will have over 20 teams starting in Division next season. :)
If you're changing your team and it's not listed below, please specify it in your confirmation post. Thank you.
If you didn't play in Season 23, please do not confirm as this does not apply to you! Please wait until Season 24 actually starts early next week in order to properly join the game. Thank you!
If there's any mistakes, please PM me about them.
Deadline to confirm - Tuesday July 31st, 23:59:59 CET
