Hey up all and welcome to the official thread for The 606 Cup. This article will tell you what this Cup is about, all the details regarding the Cup and how you can get involved.

What It's About:

The 606 cup is a charity tournament solely for BBC 606 users. The main aim is to raise money for Sport Relief, but that's not the only reason I have set this cup up...

No barriers - Regardless of age, ability, gender, race you are able to play in this cup so long as you are a BBC 606 user and can get there. It's all for a good cause and for people who love football so I wont stop anyone from taking part. I will explain later in the article about how to get involved.

Rivalries - I've been careful with the teams I've entered because between a few clubs there are deep rivalries, which lead to hate and I believe that if we can all get together for a good cause some of that hate between us will disappear, even if only on a small scale. The teams taking part are listed in this article further below.

Most the teams are already built, but that doesn't mean that we will not be accepting anymore players so please ask.

If you do it that via the fundraising page, please message me so I can e-mail you back confirmation. Just print that off and bring it with you on the day please. Kids under the age of 16 get to watch for free!

Helpers - Basically need people to:

- Collect sponsorship money on the day (From Tickets and anyone willing to make extra donations, I'll handle the players)
