New League, New Rules, too many repeated questions so hopefully this post will be the point of reference from now on. If one more person asks me a question that has been covered 12 times in the WP thread I honestly am going to put a hole thru a wall...
How to register
- No different to before, you need to register by putting your details into the google spreadsheet we have had for the past 2 months. If your a newbie and you werent in the other leagues, then you need to send me your email so I can give you access to view it.
- 32 teams will be in this World Cup structure. 4 Groups, 8 teams per group and you will play each opponent twice in the league. The top 4 teams will go thru into the knockout round. This is a total of 14 games per player which definitely should be achievable. If you dont play your required games by the specified time line (check below) then you will forfeit the match and loose 3-0.
- As each of you register you will be placed into your corresponding group. At the moment we have 18 players who are split up between Group A to Group D. After each successful registration, the player will go into the next group that is awaiting a player i.e. Player 18 will go to Group B, Player 19 Group C etc until the groups are full
- After each game you are required to enter your scores into the results spreadsheet (either one of you i dont care) so if the teams are a draw on points at the end of the group phase, then goal differences will be taken into account. The GM's will be keeping an eye on the results section to see the scores noted are the actual scores
- There will be a time limit of the group stages. I understand its December and it will be a bit hard, but we are hoping to have all the group games done by say december 16th - 18th and then finals will start. There will be more detail to follow as the dates are not concrete
- Finals structure are as follows:
- Round 16 FN 1 – GP A Wnr vs Group D 4th Plc
- Round 16 FN 2 – GP A 2nd Plc vs Group D 3rd Plc
- Round 16 FN 3 – GP D Wnr vs Group A 4th Plc
- Round 16 FN 4 – GP D 2nd Plc vs Group A 3rd Plc
- Round 16 FN 5 – GP B Wnr vs Group C 4th Plc
- Round 16 FN 6 – GP C Wnr vs Group B 4th Plc
- Round 16 FN 7 – GP B 2nd Plc vs Group C 3rd Plc
- Round 16 FN 8 – GP C 2nd Plc vs Group B 3rd Plc
- There are 4 league GMs who will create each of the leagues. They are myself, zomba, MND and nOObert. They will send you the details or invite in game (if on friends list) to join the league.
- Talaash has volunteered to do this and its the fairest way. He will conduct a live ballot (gota love that) on msn via webcam where there are 2 buckets, one with all the registered players and one with 32 International Teams ranging from 4 stars to 5. Name gets chosen first, then team and so on. Once you get your team you will be allocated that team for the league. We need the registration to be complete before this happens, so I urge you guys if you are keen "AND QUALIFY" (my 10 game rule in this month still applies) for the league then join up
- nOObert has set up the results spreadsheet into a Zoho as we could not upload the spreadsheet into the google docs one. This spreadsheet has built in macros/formulas etc that make filling out the results so much easier. We have created this so if there is a tie for 4th place, the person with the better goal difference will go thru. After each game or whenever appropriate you must enter in your scores for the group phase games for this to work. If either one of you do not enter your scores and you are in this position, at the end of the month we will go by whoever is 4th on the league table in the menu. If you have a gmail or yahoo account then you dont need to sign up for this, you just enter your details. If you use hotmail etc then you will need to register for it. There are 4 documents for the 4 different groups and they have been added on the blog in the worthy links section
I will keep on updating this page and upload it to the worthy links section as an FAQ etc so you all know what is going on
