Spring Cup averages
As players have commented on their averages, just to note some impressive averages all round (as shown in the table above), particularly in Group C (highest average 3.38). We are definitely getting better at this
Also to note @Dinner with Gotsmanov and @Bakero averaged 3.0 and failed to qualify! Bakero's elimination probably the biggest shock since Bart V keeping a clean sheet in the Premier League.
As a comparison, here are the averages from group stages of previous competition:

Excellent analysis, @SeagullsoverLondon ! It was my hard luck to be in the group of death! Good luck to everyone remaining in the Cup.
Are our averages getting better over time, do you know? Mine seems to be, but I also wonder if the words are getting easier (less obscure). I'm gradually backshading my spreadsheet of past answers using NSC's archive to see if there are any patterns of words I do particularly well or badly at. Only another 300 to go!

Very heart-warming to see that I had the lowest (worst) average of those that qualified.

Calling @pasty @Frutos @JJ McClure @Bedsex @The Oldman @Colonel Mustard @The Brighton Bear
I am just checking how you would like the QF draw to be done as I have not specified.
I was planning 2 legged ties (but No Away Goals Rule)
In the past we have done the traditional model 1st A v 2nd B, 2nd A v 1st B etc, then swap halves for semi finals.
Would people prefer first place teams to be randomly drawn against second placed teams?

Not fussed. I'll leave it up to you.
I'm happy to go with whatever you/others prefer.
Only thing I'd have a strong view on is no away goals rule.
Thanks, by the way, for all your work.

A different kind of pasty
No preference from me. You’re doing a sterling job organising all this, so happy to go with the flow
Keep it as it was. Thanks for your hard work

It seems right that averages come down as more and more solutions are used up and become no longer valid. Made up example -- at the very start of the Wordle epoch, there may have been 10 possible words that start with STA but now there are, say, only 5. This greatly reduces the number of guesses needed.

Wordle 975 4/6
Not the ideal start but could have been worse I guess.

Boom!
Boom!
The day after finishing bottom of the group and I get a no yellows two!

SPOILER
As suspected Wordle Bot confirmed my new starter meant I only had one option left. It was the next best thing to a one. I think at least one other NSCer will be in the same position and his user name will begin with a B
