The preliminary round of the Merkur CUP in District 9 is scheduled for Saturday, April 30th in Polling.
The first two groups start at 9:30 am, the others follow at 1:00 pm.
Polling - four game groups, 16 teams - that's a lot.
The preliminary round in the Merkur CUP in the distribution area of "Weilheimer Tagblatt" and "Penzberger Merkur" this Saturday, April 30, in Polling will therefore also be held in two sections (morning/afternoon).
This was announced by the game management at short notice.
Merkur CUP: preliminary round on Saturday with 16 teams
Group
A
with SC Huglfing, FC Penzberg, SG Wielenbach and ASV Eglfing and
Group B
with TSV Peißenberg, FC Seeshaupt ,
SG HAI and SV Polling start at
9.30 a.m.
In the afternoon it is the turn of the remaining teams.
Group C
(SV Unterhausen ,
SG Eberfing, SV Raisting, BSC Oberhausen) and
Group D
(SG Wessobrunn), ESV Penzberg, DJK Penzberg, TSV Weilheim) start at

The top two from each group advance to the county finals (May 7).
Merkur CUP: Polling hosts the preliminary round
In 2020 and 2021, the Merkur CUP, the world's largest tournament of its kind for E-Juniors, unfortunately had to be canceled due to the corona pandemic.
But now it starts again.
Teams compete in the entire circulation area of “Münchner Merkur” and its home newspapers.
The preliminary rounds and the district finals lead to the district final tournaments.
The grand finale of the eight best teams from the entire "Merkur-Land" will take place on July 16 in the SpVgg Unterhaching sports park.
As usual, a special rule applies to the Merkur CUP: Anyone who scores three or more goals in a game gets an extra point (regardless of the outcome of the game).
Example: Team X wins 5:3 against Team Y. Team X thus gets four points, Team Y one point.

In polling, the 16 teams are divided into four groups.
The first two teams each qualify for the next round, the regional final.
This is already on the agenda for the following week, on Saturday, May 7th.
The eight qualifiers play out the two teams that qualify for the district finals.
On Saturday district finals in district 6 in Apfeldorf
The Merkur CUP in the distribution area of the "Schongauer Nachrichten" is one after the other.
After the preliminary round took place in district 6 last weekend, the district final is now on Saturday, April 30th.
Eight teams qualified.
The best two advance to the next round.
The host of the district final is SV Apfeldorf.
The first games start at 10.30 a.m. on the sports grounds at Sinkweg.
In Group A, TSV Peiting, TSV Schongau, TSV Steingaden and SG Schwabbruck/Schwabsoien compete against each other.
Group B consists of TSV Rott, SV Hohenfurch, SG Apfeldorf-Kinsau and SG Pfaffenwinkel.
If you take the preliminary round as a benchmark, you can expect a lot of goals.
