Good god. Guess this serves me right for going out last night and neglecting to check the thread until this evening. Really hoping I've not made any mistakes here... Right then:
I'm afraid none of these are right! Sorry.
I almost want to give you some kind of reward for suggesting them. Sadly neither is correct.
Nope, sorry!
Three correct answers! The Nestlé European Cup and the Qantas Oceanic Premier Division both win 100 rep points and £1M, while the Toyota Asian Divisions 1-3 earn £1M.
That's your call, nothing against the rules there! Of course, they may not be too happy with you if your answers are wrong!
All these things are likely to be allowed yes, I'll need to reacquaint myself with FMRTE first.
You were right with Qantas but I'm afraid it was already said! (I know it's spelled slight wrong but I'd be a cruel man if I rejected the answer because of that.)
Can we not split the prize? I can't be missing out on the google one and then the Qantas one!
Or another clue so I can have another guess![]()
Code:Shell European Premier Division BP European Divisions 1-4 Nestlé European Cup Volkswagen European Super Cup ___ Asian Premier Division Toyota Asian Divisions 1-3 Emirates Asian Cup Samsung Asian Super Cup ___ African Premier Division ___ African Divisions 1-4 MTN African Cup Nando's African Super Cup AT&T North American Premier Division América Móvil North American Divisions 1 & 2 Coca-Cola North American Cup ___ North American Super Cup Petrobras South American Premier Division ___ South American Cup ___ South American Super Cup Qantas Oceanic Premier Division Foster's Oceanic Cup ___ Oceanic Super Cup Google World Club Cup Virgin Cup Winners' Cup Manngeld Trophy

Woohoo! On my first guess, interested in my other two now![]()
Holden ? Car company in Australia iirc.
Thank you![]()
I promise Lowestoft will get out of the BSN in the next 10 seasons!
My next guess would have been China Petroleum & Chemical (or Sinopec as they can be known), as there are a fair few energy giants but still one slot left going in Asia. Worth a punt if anyone is all out of ideas...
(Don't be mad when it's wrong though!)
Has anyone said Konami? they might be worth a shout.
3Rd guess Budweiser not sure if you said no to this
arghh rite nvm hmm ok soo ill do my 3rd then again![]()
3rd guess how about AT&T for North America
Afraid not, sorry!
I think this is number three. I hope for his sake it is! Bang on though. The AT&T North American Premier League nets that 100 rep bonus and £1M, good work.
Still looking for plenty more people signing up, interest seems to have died significantly since the first day or so. I'm hoping this is down to the large number of posts in this thread; maybe people think that it's an indication that it'd likely be full by now.
Maybe open up for 4th guesses? Or not since i have won already?

Dave are you putting the logos into the game ?? Like of the sponsors
I wasn't planning to; there's still people (slowly anyway) signing up so it's only fair to give them a shot at the prizes should they want it. I may well end up giving everyone another crack at some point though.
Afraid not, sorry.
Redknapp was taken, so Capello it is.
I have thought about it, do people think it'd be worthwhile? After all, it'd only really be an aesthetic benefit for me while I'm holidaying through; you guys would get to see them perhaps once a season!![]()

Indeed it has, sorry about that.
Five decent guesses there for the South American sponsors but unfortunately none are correct. I'm hoping the two left over aren't too obscure.
Nope, none of these are sponsors. Good guesses though.
There we go! The final European sponsor: the BP European Divisions 1-4. That's £1M coming your way!
Is it Claro
The Cisneros Group?
Maybe it's being sponsored by one of the drug cartels. They have gobs of cash. :P
Looks like fun, if I can still sign up

(15+10+15+5+40+7.5+7.5=100 Unless my maths is off)
As for the sponsorship guesses... Has Red Bull been said?
4th Guess: Telkom
If we are allowed 4th guess![]()
Just a question. How long until this challenge ends and another ones starts? Will it be after the start of the actual game?
Damn, I would have thought Red Bull with all their involvement in sport would be interested
2nd guess - Toshiba, only other one I can think of at the moment![]()
Hadn't starting allowing fourth guesses yet! Probably at some point today I'll start accepting them, just waiting for those who haven't had three to take a quick go at it if they fancy the opportunity.
Probably before then; there's a LOT of database building to go before the game can begin, around 20-25% of spots have filled so far, so I've got to create a heap load of generic AI run teams while still waiting for others to take over those teams if they want to.
Afraid they aren't sponsoring either.. Both sensible choices as well.
Do you need names for clubs to help you along![]()
Hmm, thought of a third guess but it's a bit of a long shot... Telstra for the final Oceanic place?

Should be fine for now, but thanks for the offer. I'll give you a heads up if I do at any point though!
Afraid not with both of those, no.
I wondered if anyone would get that... the Nando's African Super Cup nets you a cool £1M.
(Nando's is a Mozambiquan company based in South Africa, for those who didn't know.)
I'm also now allowing fourth guesses, until tonight. (This is only for those of you yet to win one of the prizes).
I'll tell you now, that of the 7 remaining sponsors, two are national banks, two are national airlines, one is a brewery, one a mining company and one a chemical company.
Also still looking for plenty more people to sign up![]()
