Welcome to March to the Arch 5, starts Saturday.
Well it's that time of the year again. The start of the F.A.Cup, I know and only August!
Those of you who have been with us as Sports Pulse and beyond will know that March to the Arch, is our F.A.Cup tracker. A quick explanation and point system will follow.
First, however, it is congratulations to Chelmsford City who won March to the Arch 4. A total of 29 points won, over 5 appearences in the tracker, the highlight being a 3-1 win at local rivals Colchester United. The Urchins join Accrington Stanley, Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur as MTTA Champions.
The past 4 seasons we have started at Barkingside, they now start the competition in the next round. So a new venue to begin the March. We start at the London Maccabi Lions who start at home against Stotfold in the Extra Preliminary Rpound. Both teams ply their trade in the Spartan South Midlands Premier League.
So here is a quick update on rules and good luck to both teams on Saturday. A mach report will appear here on Monday. MTTA is a 'tracker' competition. We select a team to start us off, this season is London Maccabi Lions. We then follow the progress of the competition via the resulting fixtures.
The first game is London Maccabi Lions vs Sotfold, we will follow the winner into the next round. This process will continue until the final. Teams will be awarded Merit points after each tie as listed below. Clear as mud, it will all become clear.

2) The head to head result between the teams if applicable.

Welcome to SportQubes, the new blog from SportTrades.
Welcome to our brand new blog. SportQubes repleaces Sport:Pulse. www.sportqubes.blogger.com
Our main aim is to notify you of general sponsorship opportunities. We will also keep up with a number of features previously covered by Sport:Pulse.
We will inform you of these features in time. Tomoorrow we will let you know about the first, March to the Arch. Our F.A.Cup tracker that begins this weekend.
We proudly introduce, SportQubes, a fresh approach to the concept of Sponsorship from SportTrades.
SportQubes help simplify and fully utilise all sponsorship opportunities available at clubs and organisations.
The general sponsorship philosophy for primary, secondary and other significant investments remain unchanged. Experience teaches us that a number of opportunities remain unmatched, once the major agreements have been agreed and completed.
Individual items are therefore difficult to sell without drastic reduction in costs. Leaving organisations unable to benefit from the full potential of sponsorship/funding available.
SportQubes simply repackages the remaining items into cubes at easy and realistic pricing. SportQubes price range covers 3 to 4 levels of value, depending on the client. The ‘Qubes’ are placed at each level depending on the value of the main sponsorship/funding item. Each ‘Qube’ will contain 4 opportunities, including the Main item or ‘Anchor Sponsor’. The 3 remaining items can be selected by the customer, from a list of opportunities provided in the ‘LockerRoom’.
The KEY SPONSOR
The Key Sponsor is the headline or main item in each Qube. This will determine which pricing level the Qube will be placed at. The Qube then can be filled up by selecting 3 further items, from:
The LOCKERROOM
As mentioned above each Qube has a title item, the ‘Anchor Sponsor’. The Qube can be filled by selecting 3 further items from a list applicable to the relevant Pricing Level. This list is known as ‘the Locker Room’. Trading can take place in the Locker Room by customers, subject to our clients' approval. As an example, you may feel an additional item in a Qube at a higher value level, is more in line with your company policy or image. That is possible to change, subject to agreement from SportTrades and our client, by forfeiting a number of selections within your Qube. The Qube price never alters.
