Zoho MIA atm...

The sheets have been updated i.e. have all the group information in them but are stuffed... so just waiting to hear back from noobert to hopefully try and fix them. Not sure what happened but it seems as though the formulas cannot find the information in the sheets.. just updated the team names etc and its gone all haywire!

So as previously mentioned in the WP thread, please post all results in there and when the sheets are fixed u can update them as per normal

June League Groups finalised...

Take 2 ... Wake up this time?

These are 32 farken natural J's my friends!!!

June League Rules & General Setup...

How to register

• Everyone within the competition has now registered and regos are now closed.

League Setup 

• 24 teams will be competing in the Copa Liberatores. 4 Groups, 6 teams per group and you will play each opponent 4 times in the league. The top 4 teams will go thru into the knockout round. If you dont play your required games by the specified time line (check below) then you will forfeit the match and loose 3-0 using our newly introduced base rate game system. The base rate of games will be 14 for this month.
• Dodo has organised the seedings for this month based off our last months results. For more information on the seedings check information on the blog. This consists of team selections and the times of when you are required to choose your teams. These details were posted on WP as well as sent via email.
• After each game you are required to enter your scores into the zoho 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. The details of the timeline for the group stages are shown on the blog, top right hand corner.
• Finals structure has a 2 tie knockout round with home and away goals determining the player to progress. The playoff format is in google docs if you wish to see the layout under the tab June Finals Knockout tree.
• There are 4 league GMs who will create each of the leagues. They are yet to be determined. They will send you the details or invite in game (if on friends list) to join the league.  
• If a D/C occurs during a game and the score is 0-0 within the first 30 minutes then an full unranked replay will be played. Anything after that, then just a single half should be played to determine the result. Player discretion should be used in this instance of a replay. i.e. If a game gets d/c at the start of the 2nd half, then only 1 half should be played etc if its a close game. On the other hand, If your loosing 4-0 then dont bother. Either way, its up to the players to decide...

Team Selection

• Dodo has put up a complete list of all the teams from the Copa Libs in the game to choose from which is on google docs under the "June Team Listing -Copa Libs" tab at the bottom of the document.

Results Section

• nOObert set up the results spreadsheet into Zoho. 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. All players are responsible for entering their results, if you cant do it for whatever reason, then let somebody know in the WP thread who has access to the sheets to upload it. 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. Whim nOObert to get access to Groups A,B & C if you dont have it already. Noobert will hopefully add all the new guys in the league this month to the sheets in time.

Forfeiting System and points allocation

• We must decide a base number of games which is going to be 14 games this month

• Everyone must play the base number of games

• If you do not play the base number of games, you will be in forfeit. Also, as a further penalty, I think it would be fair that the player be excluded from the following month's league, a red card so to speak.

• If you are in forfeit every result with a player already played with and and if the player has played the base number of games will be recorded as a 3-0 win for the player unless the margin of victory is more than 3 goals. So if you lose 1-0, you'll be awarded a 3-0 win, however if you win 7-0 you get to keep your score.

• If a player hasn't played the forfeited player, he is not entitled to the win

• In the event that players have already played the base number of games, then points come into effect – for instance: PL W L D GD PTS

n00bert 28 – 16 -12 – 0- +40 – 48
Sanchez 25 – 20 – 5 -0 – +50 -60

Mr Gosu 16 – 16 – 0 – 0 – +41 – 48

The rankings would be – Sanchez, Gosu, n00bert. Make sense?

So basically, if you've played the base number of games – the actual league table comes into effect.

• Players who do not play the base number of games are, as a matter of principal, excluded from the league table and will not qualify even if they have more points than a person who has played the base number of games. This is to prevent players from reaching the "safe zone" and then refusing to play any more games. This puts further impetus on players who have not played their base number of games to chase the players that already have.

So for instance – in a battle for fourth – (if the base number of games is 16)

Dardy – 14 – 14 -0 – 0 – +15 – 42
Sanchez – 16 – 14 – 2 – 0 – +15 – 42
Mr Gosu – 16 – 14 – 2 – 0 – +10 – 42

The only people in consideration in this scenario are Sanchez and Gosu as they have played the base number of games. And in this scenario, all 14 wins for Dardy will be reverted to losses against the players who Dardy has already played. Dardy would also be suspended from the following months league.

• A cut off date for group stages must be set and any grace periods to finish league games will be decided on a monthly basis by Sanchez.

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

Joke of the day...

A young Aussie lad moved to London and went to Harrods looking for a job. The manager asked, "Do you have any sales experience?" The young man answered, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Dubbo." 

The manager liked the Aussie so he gave him the job. His first day was challenging and busy, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the manager came down and asked, "OK, so how many sales did you make today?" The Aussie said, "One!" The manager was appalled, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?" "£124,237.64p."

The manager choked and exclaimed, "£124,237.64!! What the hell did you sell him!?" "Well, first I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium fish hook and then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the coast, so I told him he would need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin-engine Power Cat. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to car sales and I sold him the 4 x4."

The manager, incredulous, said, "You mean to tell me... a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a 4x4?" "No, no, no... he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said... well since your weekends fucked, you might as well go fishing."
