For everyone who missed the discussion thread, it's here (http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3805). This start post has shamelessly been ripped from previous editions.

[shout]Welcome at the 10th edition of the CDZ Cup. We are now open for registration for the Cup which is scheduled to start after the 7th league game has been played in the HT season, resulting in 9 games total to be played in the CDZ Cup this time. Depending on discussions and amount of participants, the actual starting date may vary to either a later or earlier point in time.

I am listing the people that are invited, please confirm your participation here or by HT-mail to Kemal or me. Anyone from CDZ or CFC is invited, just list your name and team in this thread and you are in. For those that were so rude to post their application in the discussion thread, [hammer] your participation might be taken into consideration.

I am going to repeat here the rules of the competition as well :
* You need to have an active team in Hattrick [jump];
* You need to register by listing your name and team in this thread by 29-9-2006; there is no limit on the number of participants;
* The games will be played as (international) friendlies and booked accordingly in Hattrick [duelist];
* Challenges can be issued by any of the two teams scheduled to play a game as soon as allowed [charge];
* Challenges should be accepted by Sunday evening [ninja];
* If a game is not arranged by Sunday evening, the team having issued the challenge is allowed to start searching for another friendly. [medic];
* The deadline for setting up a match is Monday 23:59 GMT. After the deadline, the team in default will lose the game 5 – 0. If a team decided to wait until monday to accept, it is at its own risk if the opposition has then already arranged another friendly. Please make sure to arrange the matches during the weekend latest, as you'll surely understand, we can't afford teams to lose training! [mad3];
* The first stage will be a league stage and games will be played as ‘normal’ friendlies [rifle];
* The following stages will be knock-out stages and will be played as friendlies ‘with Cup rules’ [mgun];
* The purpose of the Cup is to give every team 9 friendly games, there is no elimination from the cup and everybody plays until the end [shoot];
* The first *(still to be decided on exact composition and thus amount of teams per group, will be edited later)* teams in each group will qualify for several knock-out stages and one of them will be the Cup winner[dance];
* Teams that have not finished in the top *(still to be decided on exact composition and thus amount of teams per group, will be edited later)* in the league stage will still qualify to the knock-out stages which will determine their final ranking in the Cup [wavey];
* The makeup of each group will be drawn when the exact format of the Cup has been agreed upon and will be finalized. [joker];
* There will be no rebalancing of the home/away games in the knock-out stages [coool];

[b]Anyone can join, the invitation/declination lists are just a reminder to see how many teams are more or less expected to figure in this edition of the cup!

socralynnek
27-09-2006, 11:53
Hi and welcome altkaese!

A friend of ine (and altkaese) plays ht too, probably we can persuade him to join if we have an uneven number although he might lose some money...

Kemal
27-09-2006, 12:02
I suppose the draw really needs to be made today or tomorrow latest, if socra could get another person to join we'd be at 30 teams total, needing to play 9 weeks of cup rounds.

5 groups of 6 seems like a good option, with teams playing each other 1 time in a group round for 5 weeks, though we'd be 2 teams short to create a 4-round KO stage afterwards... Any ideas on how to best create a good fixture list ensuring games for everyone the next 9 weeks?

English_brit
27-09-2006, 12:47
Ok 5 groups of 6.

The top 16 teams qualify for the KO's of the upper tier. Which is a straight 4 weeks of games. Losers at each round get ranked depending on the score of their game and then playoff for final standing position once they are knocked out.

The other 14 teams play the same way but as they are two short the best 6 teams in the lower tier get a bye in to the next round but can be randomly matched up against each other for the last 16 stage.

Then once you get to the last 8 it works in exactly the same way, with teams already knocked out playing the team once place above, below them in order to determine final ranking position.

I'm not sure I've thought this through enough but something along those lines is feasible I think ..........

English_brit
27-09-2006, 12:49
Oops. You could just have two ghost teams to make the lower tier 16 teams and whichever two teams get drawn against them get a bye, which would make only two teams have a non competitive game for one round.

Probably a better idea.

Kemal
27-09-2006, 12:54
Except that nobody gets thrown out of the cup for losing a round, even in the KO stages, since one of the strong points of the cup is that evertone is guaranteed a game for 9 weeks. So 2 ghost teams would mean 2 WOs for 5 rounds, i.e. 10 extra WOs.... it would be possible, but I feel a better solution should be available as well... except that I don't know which one yet.

English_brit
27-09-2006, 13:58
No everyone get's to play every week and there is only one "meaningless" game.

Kemal
27-09-2006, 14:08
But that would only be for the first KO round. It would be impossible for two teams playing against each other in the KO rounds to face off against each other again in the next round (winner plays in the upper half of the next block, loser in the lower half), so once the 2 WO teams have played each other, they won't face each other again.

So doesn't that mean at least 8 (not 10, agreed) WO games?

Shabbaman

Jesus wept, you guys are using the sign up thread for discussion and the discussion thread for sign up... argh [hammer]

Socrates
27-09-2006, 15:28
I see there are 2 unconfirmed teams... Let's spam them with ht-mail until both respond. ;) That'd be 32 teams. [thumbsup]

Tubby Rower
27-09-2006, 15:38
I have an idea about doing the 30 team tourney...

there should be 5 groups of 6

9 weeks of playing

4 weeks of group play (you'll just not play 1 team in your group)

top 2 out of each group + 4 wildcards (highest point total, then highest goal differential, then highest goals for, then random selection)
This will make 5 weeks of knock-out play

That leaves 14 left in the bottom tier, I'm not sure what to do with these, but we'll have 4 weeks to sort them out.

socralynnek
27-09-2006, 15:45
totally different proposition:

1 group of 30, swiss style with 7 matches.

top 4 go into semifnal, each group of 4 below makes 2 ko-rounds for positions, team 29 and 30 play home and away for last place.

to make it work we'd probably would have to ht-mail everyone to ensure they know who to play against, but if a few people have some assigned to tel, it should work without WOs.

BTW I ht-mailed Doominik, but no answer yet.

Kemal
27-09-2006, 15:48
16 teams makes 4 weeks of KO play, doesn't it?

W1: 16, W2: 8, W3: 4, W4: 2 (Final)?

So playing 5 groups of 6 with all teams playing each other once, then 4 weeks of KO stages works perfectly... except that it basicly needs a 32-team base to function properly (i.e. without ghost teams).

Kemal
28-09-2006, 10:18
Downtime messed things up a bit with regard to the draw, unfortunately.

I'll try to get it done at 17:00, in the meantime feel free to continue discussions on the format. I'd still prefer group stages over swiss system, but I'm going to go with the masses on this point.

socralynnek
28-09-2006, 12:58
I know the downside of swiss system is, that low teams make no money. But one could use it for the final stage where the lower teams play each other anyways: so, my proposition:

group stage with 5 groups of 6 (5 games)

top 16 make 4 KO-rounds
next 8 do a 4 week swiss system
last 6 do a 4 week swiss system

(one could combine the last two groups for a 4-week swiss system of 14 teams while one may count the games of the group stage)

i know a program where one can avoid double matches in the swiss system.

Socrates
28-09-2006, 13:04
As I understand it, the CDZ Cup will start in 2 weeks, right ? So we still have one week to decide. Why not wait for 2 other teams to come here ? Should be feasable.

socralynnek
28-09-2006, 13:04
No, it will start next week (after league match 7) as always...otherwise we'd just have 8 games.

Tubby Rower
28-09-2006, 13:08
That means don't make any friendlies until you find out who you should play. I almost scheduled one... and then I thought.

Group E looks pretty tough. Group B has both BCLG AND Robboo [lol]

Snaken will be aiming for place 20-30 this season, Group E is way too tough for my new passing training scheme. [sad]

sz_matyas
28-09-2006, 18:14
Tubby, you forgot I was also in group B making it an exceptionally easy group to dominate with 3 weak teams. On the other hand, it means that one of us is going to walk away a victory in the group stage. I'm looking forward to possibly getting my 2nd ever friendly win personally.

Sorry, I wrote on the fed conference that I'm still in the national cup, but forgot to do the same here.:( So next week I'll also be unavaible for a CDZ cup match. And, if the gods of ht are with me, I should get to the 10th level of the cup. The only downside is that I might not be able to recover the lost points in the CDZ cup and get the second place in group C.

Kemal
05-10-2006, 10:05
No worries, this time in the CDZ Cup, due to the exact amount of participants, a lot of teams progress to the upper tier from the 1st group stages. You only have to come in 3rd, even 4th place can see you end up in the final eventually.

I would recommend playing all KO fixtures on neutral ground. Not only does home midfield advantage heavily swing matches, it also reduces the punishment of teams finishing 16th instead of 17th in the group stages, or of some of our really new teams that finish last in the 1st rounds, by not forcing them to pay int. friendly tickets all the time.

Kemal
18-10-2006, 19:16
Snaken beat Swingstars 3-1... and I add another +3 to my continuing injury story this season. [sad]

Tubby Rower
18-10-2006, 19:27
ok.. on neutral ground it is.. but does the bracket look ok? I have it so that once you lose, you drop to the lower half of the group that you were playing. Still digesting lunch (jalepeno bacon cheeseburger with onion rings) I'll come up with the bottom tier this afternoon, as I've already done a little work this morning. :)

sz_matyas
18-10-2006, 19:34
hunting_penguins beat Energy 2-3, but more importantly $12,000 in income was generated, more than making up for the cost of tickets abroad. Aparently my wingback (for which I have no true backup) didn't get the memo that the consolation prize is almost out of reach, so don't bother trying (only 1 weeks and I play a patsy in league but still).

As far as playing on neutral ground goes, I don't know if this is a great idea. For international games at least one team still has to travel, and neutral sites generate smaller crowds and less income hurting new teams. Perhaps allowing the players to decide where the game will be held with a tie-breaker being the higher seeded team is home might be in order. I do agree that forcing new/bad teams to always buy international tickets isn't the best idea though, but if I finish 16th, I would be more than willing to travel to stadiums that will cover my expenses rather than play to a small crowd at home, or an even smaller crowd at a neutral site.

Kemal
18-10-2006, 19:42
I never heard of neutral venue generating smaller crowds, so that's new to me. However, I do think we should keep in mind that new teams simply have bad reserve teams, and will end up playing for lowest places. I don't think we want to force them paying 6K extra each week on their already limited and stretched budget, that's all there is to my reasoning I suppose. :)

Well it is that the blue boys caused a WO against me or I would be ranked 30th. Another trashing of the burchtheren today.

@Tubby: I assume your using the hatrrick ranking system and let 1 play versus 16 in the upper tier, and 2 versus 15 etc.

I am ok with draw you suggested, I send a suggetion for the lower tier to kemal, but you can think of something original yourself.

4,5 point in the consolation price competetion. My reserve keeper (0,5) and my yuoungest trainee (4). Yndy!!!!

Tubby Rower
18-10-2006, 20:04
Well I was thinking that for the bottom bracket, we can let the two teams choose where the match is held. But for the top teams, I doubt 6k will bust the top 16 teams. So having to play abroad each week wouldn't be a burden.

For the ranking of the top 16, I was planning on taking the top teams from each group and ranking them by (in order) number of points, goal differential, goals for, random drawing. (1-5)

Then repeat for the #2's of each group (6-10), then the #3's(11-15), then the #4's (only top #4 will get into the champ bracket). This is the only way I know how to do it. Then the bracket used is basically set up and as long as there are no upsets, the highest original ranking will always be at home. I think that if #16 beats #1 in the first round of the KO stage the #16 deserves to take over the home field advantage for the rest of the tournament. I also tried to keep the losers so that if the expected team loses, then the highest (orginially) ranked team will play at home


Winners' Bracket With No Upsets

#1 vs #16
#8 vs #9 #1 vs #8
#1 vs #4
#5 vs #12 #4 vs #5

Yeah, I got my first victory today : 3-1 against the Pyknites. [thumbsup] An IM got a 1-week injury, and was replaced by... my SP guy who was warming the bench, like all Wednesdays. The stupid thing is that they're too stupid in the team to change the SP taker, and a later free kick was shot (and missed) by the same guy as since the beginning. [mischief] No way Juninho would have allowed that. ;)

sz_matyas
18-10-2006, 21:09
I was basing my comment on Neutral Ground crowds being lower based on experience (both personal and a limited number of others) where the crowd seemed to based primarily on the home teams supporters. For neutral ground games it seemed (might just be me) to be based on the smaller fan base roughly giving less income. As I said this was based on a small sample size so I may be completely off base.

kemal, was it really necesarry to kick out my to top forwards? I I am lucky I can get 2 50% training spots extra, but if i am unlucky the one I wanted to have training gets none. any way, I have trhee more points for the consolation price. So I just need to double my amount of weeks to catch up with BCLG.

Sorry arne, seems the +2 guy is still +2 atm. Hopefully the updates will work in your favour tomorrow and he still will get training.

So I have updated you to be a green advanced

Kemal
26-10-2006, 12:58
I've removed myself again from the advanced list... it seems to me that either Chimica or Swingstars will pas, plus PP SV could if they beat burchtheren... which would see me end up 4th place.

Since only the best 4th place advances, there is a fair chance (especially looking at other tables) it won't be me. :(

Doesn't matter at all. I won't advance (I will not win from the Mistfits). Schip certainly will. Just make it 5-0 for him then!

Kemal
26-10-2006, 13:26
Lucky Aggie will get the win, period. Schip didn't accept the friendly in time so rules state a 5-0 WO win.

Btw, I need some coffee too after having updated the tables about 8 times in the last 10 minutes, updating stuff and removing it again later as my maths are way off. (To be clear, I put Xerxes Reitsma on the non-advance list, but it is still possible for them to finish as best 4th place, in theory).

Tubby Rower
26-10-2006, 13:28
Aggie, anything can happen. Just look at how I made Meli look like an idiot on the pitch. He drew 0-0 with me even though he should have won 7-0 or so. I even had a passable GK stopping his guys weak shots [lol]

sz_matyas
26-10-2006, 15:15
As proof that anything can happen, I can't believe that I'm a win against BCLG away from advancing. How did my defense hold teams like to Energy, Chemists and Dibbelabbes, when earlier this season I lost badly to Robboo? Crazy stuff I tell you. I wil the 16th place badge with pride or else watch my team go down in flames to BCLG, while helping him win the consolation prize.

socralynnek
26-10-2006, 15:22
BTW, I don't think Dibbelabbes is already advanced.
altkaese can become 4th if losing and in Group D the 4th placed team can also have 9 points, so then te goal difference decides.

Good thing you had a draw there. ;) I managed to lose a similar matche in the league this season (not so huge gap of course but still considerable). I've thought RNG in HT is better than that but alas, it is like a single round of unit combat in Civ3, spearman beats tank this round. [tvs]

01-11-2006, 19:43
15 out of 16 participants for both halves of the KO stages are clear so far, only Mistfit and Aggie will have to slug it out later tonight to see who will be the final team in the upper half, and who will join the bottom half.

Snaken ended up as best no4 with 8 points thanks to a somewhat stolen draw at TBBFC. Please make sure your team has the correct amount of points, errors do happen from time to time unfortunately, so don't hesitate to speak up if something seems out of order.

As for the KO stages, I guess Tubby has the ins and outs on that soon, but they will be posted tomorrow latest in any case.

I have the winner's bracket setup so I just have to put the teams in and the bracket will unviel itself

BUUUUTT the loser's bracket is giving me a hard time. Who had an idea on this earlier?

I should have three wins, not two (beat crawfish, BCLG and energy) which should put me as advancing and rule out Robboo. It seems you have me losing 0-7 to BCLG instead of winning 7-0.

Ok this was what i came up with:
round 1
17 - 30 I
18 - 29 J
19 - 28 K
20 - 27 L
21 - 26 M
22 - 25 N
23 - 24 O
round 2
wI - lO 9
wJ - wO 10
wK - wN 11
wL - wM 12

lI - lN 13
lJ - lM 14
lK - lL 15
round 3
w9 - w12
w10 - w11

l9 -l12
l10 -l11

w13 - Best of l13, l14 and l15 (*)
w14 - w15

the two other loosers play a double header for the BC-award
the rest seems self-explainotry to me.

(*) could be determined on all played matches or just on the last one.

I came up with something similar (besides that one could play a 4-round swiss thingie)

14 teams - 7 drawn matches

7 winners + best overall loser (from all games so far or with most injuries, see other cup) advance and play normal KO-matches for three rounds

Other 6 either same (3 winners+ best loser advance, 2normal KO games, last two play home and away) or 3-round swiss system

If you want swiss somewhere, I can help calculating the matches to avoid meeting same opponent twice.

Thanks all for the support, I'm out of the cup now and ready to claim my place in the CDZ cup (not last one I hope :)). One question: who do I play next week? Cause I tried to figure it out in the draw & fixtures topic but didn't have any luck at it.:(

socralynnek
02-11-2006, 11:25
Not decided yet, ciuly, as Tubby or Kemal will probably decide on how to üproceed in a few hours...

Kemal
02-11-2006, 12:20
I'll be away the whole afternoon and evening so if Tubby could pretty please take care of this...?

The upper half of the schedule should be easy to set up using Tubby's method, but I assume they are played on neutral venues right? As for the bottom half... I'd say no need to complicate things needlessly, we might just go for 2 bot-teams in a 16 team mix and reward mandatory 5-0 wins over them. It does mean a few walkovers (6 to be precise in total), but it will also cut on the traveling costs for the lowest classed teams as they can get domestic friendlies, and at least will ensure BCLG finishes 30th instead of 32nd. ;)

Maybe this is too practical thinking though... I'm not sure how the lower ranked teams would feel vs getting the free win in the cup? Otherwise, it might be a good idea to use this situation as a test for the swiss-pairing method that is advocated each season.. see how that works out in practice?

Tubby Rower
02-11-2006, 12:28
I'll get this settled by lunchtime (in about 5 hours from this post). I need to get the matches from last night updated as well.

Tubby Rower
02-11-2006, 13:09
I have the fixtures for the knock out stage and will post them in the fixtures thread in a few minutes.. BEFORE YOU SCHECDULE FRIENDLIES... someone needs to look over it to make sure I didn't screw anything up

Tubby Rower

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_system

It's a nice system to make a league style turnament where not everyone faces each other, but there is still a fair winner.
To win you must face the harder teams so you can't blame it on a lucky draw.
As said above, if you wanna test it, i can help you make the fixtures.

Tubby Rower
02-11-2006, 13:30
OK the fixture thread is updated. Week 4 shows what place that game will be playing for. the loser will be one place behind.

could you guys look at the loser fixtures and tell me if I should change them. The only people who could get screwed the way I have it (arne's fixtures). I had to figure out the last week since arne left that up to my feeble mind to interpolate.

socralynnek
02-11-2006, 13:42
What I don't like is that someone can become last although winning in Week 2. I'd rather see the last two weeks home and away between the two teams that lost both in week 1 and 2 to decide the true worst team.

Meaning week 3: F6L - F5L
and week 4 F5L-F6L

winners of F5,F6 and F7+ F7L play two normal KO rounds in week 3 and 4

I have some questions. I'm in winners bracket #6. How is it done? As by points I must be #4 if U use goal differents. Or is it used some other thing. Anyway The Blue Boys FC have 10 points and he is in #5th place?!

Sibul, I took the #1 out of each group and ordered them.. then took the #2 out of each group and ordered them.. then took the #3 out of each group and ordered them.. then took the highest #4

that is the order that everyone was ranked with. The losers' bracket is done the same way. I though that winning your group was more important than how many points you had. for instance a group that was hotly contested would have more "good" teams in it than a group where you had two teams slaughter everyone other than the other "good" team.

Sibul
02-11-2006, 15:04
if it's done so then it's all ok. Just didn't understand it.

Tubby Rower
02-11-2006, 15:13
I did mention (albeit not very clear) back on page 3 of this thread. This is why I mentioned that people shouldn't schedule friendlies until it has been checked out. I'm open to changing it since it really doesn't matter to me.

The Blue Boys FC vs Meli's Manglers

and

Shabba FC vs Sibultsikud

Should be fun, but if TBBFC field the same team that beat Acoradze I'm gonna get creamed [:p]
