CDZ Cup 11th Edition?

[Melifluous]

This start post has shamelessly been ripped from previous editions.

[shout]Welcome at the 11th 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.

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 14-1-2007; 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!

[English_brit]

lol.

Count me in please.

[Eldakkar]

Xerxes Reitsma will shine again :); my girlfriend would like to play too, if that's okay? Her team is called spartak kimski, owner kimski.

[BCLG100]

girls????? oooooooo they might have cooties!!!

[Tubby Rower]

since Meli started this thread, shouldn't he be on the accept list?

[Kemal]

Well, never saw him (nor KR for that matter) accept/confirm participation... and I expected him to have put his own name and team in the confirmed list when starting the thread.

[Melifluous]

You'd have thought so wouldn't you.

I'm waiting to see if enough people join before I decide whether it's worth entering and once again kicking all your loser asses!

All your base are belong to us!

[meli]

[BCLG100]

im determined to not come last this year!

[Tubby Rower]

but you will anyway [lol]

[arne1]

specially, if meli keeps overlooking my confirmation, which means I would like to join.

[Kemal]

yeah meli, pay some more attention will you... [mischief]

[BCLG100]

[Sibul]

/me in

[BCLG100]

Just so everyone knows through some great miscariage of justice and great unforunalities and well god must have been playing for the other team. BC United's impressive cup run seems to have come to an end so i should be able to play the first match :)

God is a traitor! He MUST be punished.

[ciuly]

I'm in too, and since I want to promote I should have less WO's than last season.

[yndy]

I move we vote for the elimination of FC Suca from the CDZ Cup. ;)
He either wins everything or walks-over. This can no longer be tolerated.

I also suggest he should be demoted one division into Romania's V as a response for helping his division mates understanding this game and making the life of all others more difficult. [assw]

If so than I'm in. If not, I'll reluctantly join [:p]

Since it's a discussion thread I suggest we give serious consideration to the fact that the youth system changes from next season. As I understood, besides one more game per week we'll be allowed (in a way) to do our own divisions. So it sounds natural for CDZ Cup to move to the next level and create the CDZ youth division(s).

It's going to be more fun since the youth will be o similar level and differentiation will be made by tactics mainly.

The CDZ Cup may also remain, we'll have the dual system of Cup and league.

What say you ?
ban ciuly

[Kemal]

Well, we have to take into consideration as well that both youth systems will still exist, so not everyone might choose the new system.

Furthermore, there are undoubtedly gonna be teams that still don't invest in the YS at all, and will never play these matches.

So a new youth competition seems a good idea, but I think it should be kept completely seperate from the CDZ cup though.

[BCLG100]

erm what? should i start investing in my youth squad then?

[arne1]

quote:Originally posted by BCLG100

If I were you I would not.

[Socrates]

I'm all for this CDZ friendly division, this gives a whole new sense to this site, all the more as players funding the YS equally will be treated on the same level. The CDZ Cup is fine, it's nice to play against each other and not to have to look for a friendly every week, but as a matter of fact, knowing I have so little chance to make a very good result, it ends up being a way to make some pocket money on Wednesdays. [blush2] This new YS system will bring more excitement, even though not everybody is willing to fund that.

I just hope it's worth carrying on with the 20k every week, I'm almost at the best level.

[socralynnek]

quote:Originally posted by BCLG100

erm what? should i start investing in my youth squad then?



Quite the opposite. If you want to go to the new system (which is the one you need for the friendly leagues), your investment in the old system won't do you any good, so no sense in investing now.

[Tubby Rower]

yeah I should hit excellent YS in a couple of weeks and I'm wondering a bit of what the new system will bring. I'm not about to drop the $20k investment as they might carry over your current YS level when creating the new system.

[Kemal]

They have already confirmed that will not be the case. However, you can choose to continue with the old system if you want, and in that case you will still have an excellent YS if you already had so before.

[Socrates]

quote:Originally posted by Kemal

They have already confirmed that will not be the case.

I can't believe they have... Does this mean I lost hundreds and hundreds of thousands of euros, trying to set up an excellent YS academy, while I'm looking forward to the new system ? This is disgusting. And I don't know how they'll make the distinction between clubs that fund their YS and the clubs that don't other than by funding money every week like we're currently doing. [???]

I feel like I could have had a great party all along instead of going on diet. :(

[Kemal]

The "new" YS is just an entirely new formula that will co-exist next to the old formula. However you can only use one of the two, so you have to make a choice (everyone will be given the choice when the new system is introduced, and apparently switching later is possible too though I do not know the details on that).

Everybody will start the new system at the same level, regardless of what the old level was. That has been confirmed by the HTs themselves on the forum.

[Tubby Rower]

So if we won't to use the new system, would it be better to stop contributing to the old system now and let the YS naturally decline? meanwhile saving ~ $240k this season. I think that's going to be my approach unless someone convinces me otherwise.

[Melifluous]

Interesting discussion guys...

You sure you're in the right thread though?

[meli]

[Tubby Rower]

this is the new YS thread right?? [lol]

[Melifluous]

*waves his big shitty banning stick about*

[banned]

Any more comedians?

[meli]

[barbu1977]

Anyways this will start next season right?

I don't see why this should impact this season's cup.

[Tubby Rower]

no it shouldn't.

Are we doing a swiss-steak style tournament or a group play-style like we did last year??

[arne1]

quote:Originally posted by Tubby Rower

Are we doing a swiss-steak style tournament or a group play-style like we did last year??

With a "swiss-steak style" do you mean a system like the chess "olympiades"? Where after the first round a ranking is made and #1 is playing #2, #3 #4, etc etc. After the second round you would make a new ranking, and try to do the same with the restriction that you can not play any team twice.
This would take some scheduling effort for every week. Schedules should be available by thursday, to not increase the probability of walk-overs.
If we have somebody for every week to do that, I am all for it. I am even willing to do it once or twice if I am home in that particular week.

[Tubby Rower]

I can read up on swiss tourneys and help out too.

[socralynnek]

There are programs who can do the scheduling although I am pretty sure Tubby would make an Excel Sheet for that...

I am always for a Swiss style system, but the disadvantage is:
Lower teams get to play each other often whcihc means lower income for them.

true, but they will also have more competetive matches, which seems more fun to me and that is what the game is about for me.

[tofra]

I'm in too! Sorry for not being so active anymore on the forum, but I started a new job....

where I got muy biggest turn up in a freindly everever!

[ciuly]

I'm out of the national cup, so get ready cause I intend to regain the CDZ cup trophy. :)

[Kemal]

Snaken will 99% sure be out today too, and are aiming to be a contender this season as well. This edition, it will be 2nd place that has FC Suca written all over it...

[Kingreno]

Of course the Snakenmanager needs to avoid the Aristocats again this season to make his big talk into anything realistic.[estwing]

[Tubby Rower]

how will we have a tournament with 25 teams?

[socralynnek]

There is just one possibility:
That is, we use one of three possibilities:
-We get rid of someone
-We force someone to join
-We play with a dummy team, which means one team gets a free win each week.

[Tubby Rower]

I could drop out if need be. I'm looking for some flags.

[Shabbaman]

It's probably easier to get some other teams to join. I'll send some ht-spam to the CPF members.

[socralynnek]

Tubby: Permission to dropout denied! The cup is mandatory!

I'll spam altkaese s.t. he joins!

[Kemal]

I think Katanga Resistance could be a very likely joiner as well, if HT-mailed.

[BCLG100]

of course you all need me there so one o you doesnt come last :p

[Kemal]

Any news on additional teams wanting to join? First cup matches would need to be arranged starting from next week already, so I suppose it is time to get some action again in this thread, and decide on what setup to use, and how many teams we have playing.

[arne1]

a freindly for the first week needs to accepted before friday, since I will be leaving friday.

[Tubby Rower]

is this the week that we need to start or is it next week?

[Robboo]

Yeah I need to know ( hopefully no one has accepted my challenges)

/That would be you Tubby :)

[Tubby Rower]

no I haven't.. If we aren't going to have a CDZ cup match this week, then I'm going to go looking for another flag. Sorry Rob

[Robboo]

quote:Originally posted by Tubby Rower

Not a problem....I figured offering it to you was a "safe" challenge if the cup was coming up.

[altkaese]

I'm in, too (FC Dibbelabbes).

[Tubby Rower]

I have a Belgian team for a friendly this week... does it start this week (resulting in me having a walkover the first week) or does it start next week?

[Kemal]

[shout]Welcome at the 11th 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.

[Tubby Rower]

so next week..

[Kemal]

League match 7 is played in 8 days time, the friendly after that match will be the first CDZ Cup match. :)

[yndy]

Yanche with Codrutul Doicesti also wants to join, but basically she needs a lot of pushing to post a message in English.

[Shabbaman]

NP, we'll just take your word for it.

[socralynnek]

I assume we get to an even number until Wednesday, but that is not needed in a Swiss system.

If we do a swiss system, I'd volunteer to help in calculating who plays who.

So the rules for our Swiss CDZ system would be:

First day looks like this (assuming 28 teams)
28th - 14th
27th - 13th
...
15th - 1st

The ranking could be the ranking of last time, or team id or whatever.
It doesn't matter that much.

-One plays always a team that is quite near in the table
-No double matches, one never plays a team one has already played against
-The team that had less home games so far plays at home, if there is a tie, the lower ranked team plays at home (either initial ranking or current)

-Maybe the last round is a final between neighboring teams, we could decide that later.

Is that fine with everyone? I'd calculate the first round on Wednesday morning then (or someone else could do)

(A following round could already be kind of precalculated if there is just 1-2 games in USA before those matches, slight inaccurencies in who plays whom in the beginning stages don't matter much)

So, probably no team travels more often than 5 teams (maybe 6 times)
We could (let's say from the 2nd round onwards) play the matches in the country of the home team on neutral ground if you think that's more fair.

[Kemal]

Most important thing: where will team 28 come from?? We need an even amount of teams to ensure everyone gets a game, so that should have priority now.

As for the Swiss system... well, no news that I am not a fan of it, but with 28 or especially 26 teams creating a standard league table without doubling is far from easy, so I am willing to give it a shot if others think they can manage this system easily. I am still concerned though about the financial consequences for weaker teams in this system though... I envision poor new teams playing poor new teams a lot here, with low spectator income and high travel costs.

[socralynnek]

I will do a bit of spamming this evening in a German HT-online-radio-IRC-channel.
One team will be possible, I think.

At least we have no brandnew team here, so travel costs vs income shouldn't be as problematic as it was in previous editions.

We could even do a predefined 2nd matchday to give them a slight boost in income at the beginning.

[arne1]

as I tried to say before, I will leave coming friday and want the freindly arranged by then or I will arrange another freindly.

[Tubby Rower]

If need be, I can still drop out and just organize it instead of participating in it.

Also, if any of my opponents are wanting to have a home game instead of away game, I'm willing to travel the entire cup

[socralynnek]

Swiss system also works with an uneven number, just one walkover every week, but it's equally fair distributed.

[Tubby Rower]

but the purpose of the cup is to guarantee a friendly every week for those involved. So in order to keep that aspect of it, I could be the one outsider that if for some reason someone doesn't accept the friendly for that week, I would be available. Plus I'd be able to continue to hunt for some flags.

[socralynnek]

OK, then let's define the matches tomorrow. If someone joins on wednesday or so, then you play that one, Tubby.

Initial ranking: last year's cup or teamid?

[Tubby Rower]

teamid would be a more random start. I would go for that since randomness is my middle name if you change the order and change a few letters.

[Melifluous]

mandes roms?

neat [goodjob]

[meli]

[socralynnek]

fixtures posted.

If no one objects til tomorrow evening, all teams get spammed s.t. they know the cup begins and where they'll find their fixtures.

I still propose playing the 2nd matchday like the first (14 vs 1, 15 vs 2,...) only using current standings to give the lower teams some income at the start of the cup.

[barbu1977]

good work!

[Robboo]

sounds and looks good

[Kemal]

Thanks for getting it up and running socra! How many teams actually still figure in the national cup btw, any others besides Wartham United?

[yndy]

Codrutul Doicesti is still in the National Cup.

[Robboo]

SO would that mean I get a WO in the cup and have to find a friendly?

Tubby you available? Or should I go look elsewhere. I dont mind looking since I could use a few internationals for experience.

[Tubby Rower]

If you can't find one, send me a challenge and I'll accept. I'll hold off until Sunday evening in finding a friendly to give you some time. But I would rather do an international. But I am content in supplying the teams that get WO's a friendly.

[Robboo]

Thanks I also would prefer a international...i will start spamming people as soon as possible

[socralynnek]

Starting the spamming of all teams now, so don't be shocked...

[socralynnek]

So, at least, besides the two who are still in the cup, no one ahd already a frineldy when spamming so at least I was not too late for that.

[Robboo]

OK I just spammed 10 to 12 teams for a friendly. If the other team whose opponent is still in the cup wants..I will travel to play them

[Robboo]

HEY Tubby...

Got a friendly so feel free to spam for yours.

[arne1]

I will accept the freindly of week of 30-01-2007 Sunday earliest

[akots]

But I already played with KingReno. Should we play again? [confused] I have no objections.

[Kingreno]

Oh, and do try to score this time Akots. [smirk]

[socralynnek]

akots, I didn't take pre-Cup matches into account when doing the fixtures...
But you are free to do a walkover match and send him the points in a letter...

[socralynnek]

As a service, I'll provide the fed members with links to all matches. That way, I can easily keep track of the matches myself...
I'll copy the post here, but you'll have to copy and paste the match id then...

BTW, thanks to Meli for making me a mod for this subforum. I can edit the fixtures and results list myself then...

[socralynnek]

The matches with ids for this week:

Pugwash FC vs FC suca [matchid=110855530] Tue 21
hunting_penguins vs The Blue Boys Fc[matchid=110933814] Thu 01
xerxes reitsma vs Sibultsikud[matchid= ] not arranged???

spartak kimski vs wartham united 5:0 - wartham still in national cup

All times are HT-time.

----

Sadly, two matches were not arranged, I mailed Sibul and Goswao to sort that out, both have a new friendly...

[Darth Pugwash]

Crap!

I accidentally put my A-team in for the match vs Suca, which means my GK trainee is missing training.

[socralynnek]

Now imagine what the result would have looked like when you would have fielded your B-squad...

Looks like the Romanian teams get a good start...

Suca winning 9-1, yndy is leading 1-0 at halftime but with only 20%posession...

[yndy]

Very interesting result from my side. Due to several injuries and also due to my formation for the league game, I only had defenders to play in this one. But I wanted to play 3-5-2 so this is what I got. Double outstanding defending ratings. Incredible! More incredible was that I got a normal chance and it was a penalty. It's nice to have mythical set pieces at the right time.

Lucky 1-0 win for me.

[Shabbaman]

I don't understand what happened: I beat aggie 3-4, but if I look at the stats 0-3 or so would've been a suitable result. Oh well, the ht gods don't smile on me anyway...

[Tubby Rower]

right now we are waiting on the following two matches

hunting_penguins vs The Blue Boys Fc
Barbiers vs Meli's Manglers

[sz_matyas]

I think it would be safe to say that I'm going to lose in planning your schedule. By how much is the only question.

[barbu1977]

I'm not ready to trow the towel yet!

I have my A-Team, my TS is trought the roof and I'm at home. Who knows?
(played my B-team in a 0-6 Pic this weekend)

[sz_matyas]

Well I was right as I managed to lose 1-5 and didn't help anyone win the consolation prize. On the bright side I was able to cover travel expenses plus (or my case proftit) despite it being overcast.

[socralynnek]

Fixtures and Tables updated...

For initial seeding purposes etc. this round is again 14 vs, 15 vs 2 etc. with a slight modification to not let the hunting penguins play again vs TBBFC.

[Kemal]

Wow, I just noticed Codrutul is *still* in the cup, unbelievable!

And wartham got pipped after a very good performance, another great achievement there, CDZ teams just keep on getting better and better it seems!

[Tubby Rower]

I updated the ranking table for formating and also added the amount of home matches that the team has played. The home matches are mainly for ynnek and I to make the fixtures and attempt to have everyone have a relatively equal home matches

[Melifluous]

Gah I got a 2-2 draw with a load of Frencher than French, psuedo Americans in the frozen north...

Still my plan of getting the lucrative 13th place and thus securing a game against this weeks biggest losers worked ;)

[meli]

[sz_matyas]

Hmm, my understanding of the Swiss Tournament was that you narrowed the groups down so that you always played someone close to you in points. i.e. for us the top winner played the 7th winner, worst loser, plays a middle of the road loser. Next round there will be three groups, winners, losers and one of each, rounding out the numbers so that there are an even number of teams in each.

Otherwise the top teams are always kicking around the middle of the pack and the bottom people (i.e. me, since I won't play my A team this cup) never gain traction.

Right now the groups would be 12 winners, 2 draws, 12 losers, folding the draws into the winners so there isn't a rematch it becomes 14 winners, 12 losers. Remember this system was developed for thousands of people playing limited number of rounds

[Robboo]

Yeah thats the way I understood it...like records play like records. So all the 1-0 and 0-0-1 play while all the 0-1 play. Then next round you have a new group of 1-1. Unless we are playing like this for a few rounds then go to the like plays like format.

Not that it really matters since i will be playing in the lower group soon enough.

[sz_matyas]

Either way is fine by me, I just want to know who I need to challenge for next week. Eventually I would like a chance to play some of the losers though as I really don't see myself winning more than about 2 or 3 games max, thanks to terrible form right now and needing my best players to compete in league later on.

[Tubby Rower]

I was talking to ynnek and since there is a wide variety of teams here, he thought that we'd have one more round of #1 playing a lower ranked team instead of #2. That way we could get a better "initial" ranking for the 3rd round. Also it would allow the crappy teams a chance to earn some more money by playing the larger opponents.

Next week it will be the traditional swiss thingie. and ynnek did ask if everyone was ok with the above, and no one responded so we ran with it.

[Kemal]

Seems like a good idea to me.

[Robboo]

yeah no problem here either...I had already accepted the challenge also.

[sz_matyas]

Yeah, details like that aren't my strong point. Sounds like a fine idea and have sent out my next challenge (though spartak kimski kind of gets it in the shorts thanks to the walkover)

[socralynnek]

Tubby, thanks for adding the home match count.
That's something I would have added tomorrow...
Today I had the following idea for home match count: make away matches count -1 and WO matches 0, that way non-arranged matches wouldn't spoil that table cause one can't really count a home non-arranged match as a home or away game.

What do you think of it?

To clarify: (I thought I had stated in my post this morning...) starting from next week, there will be normal swiss style system where everyone plays someone of similar points.

[BCLG100]

i will have no idea who im playing/who im meant to be playing except that im playing shabba tonight!!!!


on the other hand i didnt log in for a month cos i forgot about it, turns out im 3rd in the league and only lost twice the entire season so far, admitedly one of those was 9-1 but still!!!!!

[Shabbaman]

So WHAT THE FUCK is this scheduled downtime? I'm supposed to be thrashing bclg tonight, and I'd better be able to set my line up. Scheduled my ass. It's WAY past 11:00 now.

[Tubby Rower]

I can get to the ip address (http://193.34.189.76/Common/default.asp) in the past that has shown the guy in the hammock when HT was down. Maybe they've already upgraded to Vista [lol]

[BCLG100]

i can get on just fine :)

[Robboo]

me too...

[socralynnek]

So, I go to bed... I'll compile the new fixtures in the morning as I just can't guess how the match tonite in the US will finish...

BTW, what a trashing for Barbu! Very impressive FC Suca!

Oh and Codrutul Doicesti is still in the cup! That is even more impressive!

Oh, and the table you see in the fixtures thread was done with the program I am using for the cup!
Looks nice! Oh, and if you don't agree with your matches then blame it on the software...

[Kemal]

The table looks good, but there same to be some problems with regard to rankings: several teams should be located on a different place in the table due to goal difference, it seems to me. (BCLG, Snaken, Shabba, Krys, Codrutul to name a few)

Or am I not understanding the ranking system correctly?

[socralynnek]

Yeah, thanks for spotting!

Took the wrong criteria in that program...

Matches are available in a few minutes!

[Sibul]

Do I look wrong team FC Duckstad id=504953 or he allready accepted not cup game :(

[Kemal]

Indeed he has...that would be your second walkover-win already this season, Sibul. :(

[Sibul]

he is not my oponent this time :). I just made injury table and looked WO's then found out it

[socralynnek]

FC. Duckstad (817820)

That's tofra. And he doesn't have a friendly already!

In the fixtures and standings thread you can find all team ids!

[Kemal]

Good call Sibul and ynnek, and apologies to tofra, indeed he isn't the one... I looked him up on hattrick and saw the Cornelis Prul stadium which I know tofra plays in, so I assumed the worst; turns out both these teams have the same name and play in a stadium renamed the Cornelis Prul Stadium)! [lol]

[yndy]

Indeed Codrutul is still in the national cup and now I feel it's in a way my fault for signing her in for the CDZ Cup :)

This time she won in the Cup without sending match orders, she is out of town and has no internet access.

[ciuly]

Looking forward to playing with English_brit, I didn't forget he took away my [:P] title in the VII-th edition.

[socralynnek]

Yeah, looks like this is the first match that can be decisive for the whole cup.
Although maybe the loser gets awarded with slightly easier games in the following weeks.
But I guess in the end, the winner has played against all top-teams and thus the winner can prove that he really deserves the cup! (this is something I like about the Swiss system)

[Eldakkar]

BCLG doesn't accept my offer for a friendly, am I allowed to get another one already?

[socralynnek]

No! (seems like BCLG accepted just a few minutes ago...)

[Robboo]

When is the deadline for accepting challenges? It seems mine has not yet been accepted.

[socralynnek]

The deadline for accepting friendlies is Sunday 24 HT time.

So, robboo, you are free to search another friendly, however it is always nice, if one can wait as long as possible. E.g. if you can look for another friendly later this evening (HT time) then it would be nice if you could wait that long.
But if you need another friendly now, then go ahead.
Could it be that we lost PP? Somehow I already wrote him a HT-Mail alst week when he already missed the match.
He didn't even answer.
Shall we bring in Tubby as replacement for PP? Maybe wait another week and give him another chance?

I hope, Meli and altkaese get the match done today too...

[Robboo]

I will wait...the guy in my own league has requested a friendly. If its there in 8 hours I will accept if not i will grab another from a newbie. If I dont get one I will switch to stamina.

[Robboo]

ynnek...

As of 00:00 hattrick time propain has yet to accept my game. So i have started searching for another.IF he accepts before some one else does then i guess we wont have a walkover. I simply cannot wait any more. :)

[socralynnek]

yeah sure do that!

sunday 24 is gone since 24 hours...
you get the points!

[Robboo]

ynnek..the walkover is official. I accepted another friendly.

[socralynnek]

Arrrrgggggghhhhhh

Chimica drew in the 90th minute with a non-tactic-counter attack...

grmpfllhmpfgrrmlllhmpf

[socralynnek]

So, the first one to stop Suca didn't succeed, TBBFC gets a little bashing...

[socralynnek]

We had some real close matches this week already. Both US matches were interesting to watch as it was pretty close there.

Three teams still have lost no point. Next week it will be less than that...

I have posted the new fixtures.

Congratulations to yanche for still being in the national cup!

[BCLG100]

and this is to stop this thread turning into a one man thread :)

I was impressed myself. I kind of like how my defensive approach is doing in the CDZ Cup.

[socralynnek]

I updated the home and away balance assuming the English match between Meli and dell gets arranged and assuming that PP doesn't accept...

[Dell19]

Its Sunday night and Meli had not accepted so I've accepted another friendly as I don't want to be trying to arrange a friendly at the last minute tomorrow night when I get home.

[socralynnek]

OK, fine, I'll notice that.

[Melifluous]

I was in Holland :(

In fact Sunday night I was flying home from Holland and couldn't accept it.

I tried today and Dell has arranged another friendly.

Nevermind.

[meli]

[Dell19]

Possibly my fault then. Maybe put it down as a draw?

[Kingreno]

I have challenged PP, but he seems to have left the planet. SMS-ing now...

[BCLG100]

as im not sure whats going on, ill propose this anyways, why dont we have a league? where everyone plays each other twice? easy to work out fixtures points etc.

[socralynnek]

because we want a format which is done in one season (that is 9 friendlies)

The cup is much to big, it would take years to make a full league. And it would make it impossible for new ones to join.
And it wouldn't be fair as teams change over the seasons.

[Melifluous]

quote:Originally posted by Dell19

no no no.

The rules clearly state that friendlies should be arranged before midnight on the sunday before the games.

I will accept the walkover against me with grace :)

[meli]

[Socrates]

I drew to BCLG 2-2 after leading 2-0. :( And got an injury. [blush2] Not a very good day for football. Anyway, congrats for those 2 goals, after all those missed opportunities.

[socralynnek]

Hey, at least both of you got a real point!

That's worth a celebration for both of you ;)

[Socrates]

I think the Swiss System will show my real value, ie. below my latest CDZ results, which were a bit ahead of the last place, because of some lucky matches in the middle of the tourney. ;)

[BCLG100]

sorry about the injury krys but neverthless woop no loss for me this time!!!


i take it im still last though?

[arne1]

quote:Originally posted by BCLG100

I think Codrutol doicestie is last for still being in the national cup. Do not know if she is out now and able to crush her next opponent in the CDZ-cup.

[BCLG100]

ah well person who is last whilst activly playing in the cup

[Robboo]

I would be right down there with you BC...I think all my goals have been due to walkover. Which sucks. I cant get an accurate idea of how good i am compared to you guys since I keep playing above where I should be. BUT the income is nice.

I would like to ask that if theres a way to "weaken" the walk over effect. I dont think I have yet to score a goal in the CDZ cup this year. But I have 10 due to WO's.

BTW...kyrs will be in last due to goals.

[socralynnek]

I was actually thinking the opposite robboo, I would have wanted Codrutul to go down faster. She only got last today.

krys, I will ask yanche whether she can challenge you at your place, you will receive a big-bashing anyway...

I had hoped for a little more tension at the top, seems no one can stop Suca...let's wait now for the clash of the Romanians (maybe I have to setup one match Doicesti- Suca in one week of the cup s.t. he might at least lose once...)

[socralynnek]

BTW, thanks for making contact to PP, KR!

You get rewarded with easier matches in the next few weeks ;)

[Socrates]

NOT... FUN !!! [cry] And yes, I could always play at home if my opponent agrees.

[barbu1977]

Humm next round against ProPain.

What's the secret to get PP to accept the chalenge?

[Dell19]

A stat that would be nice to have at the end of the tournament would be the highest, lowest and average position achieved throughout the tournament.

Oherwise I'll take the WO thankyou.

hehe. 5 defence trainnee's and some future coaches do not make a decent team.

[Kemal]

As a headsup to the organization, spartak kimski and Xerxes Reitsma will not be playing each other this week, due to the fact they log in from the same IP and logically want to avoid any possible suspicions from any GMs, as when they informed the GMs they play from one PC, it was suggested not to transfer players *or play friendly matches* between the two teams.

So therefore Xerxes Reitsma refused to accept the challenge from spartak kimski.

[tofra]

Meli, after waking up after "carnaval" you have arranged another game already (i din't already had another friendly).. to bad.. Just note the WO for me.. :-(

Anyone want to play a friendly?

[socralynnek]

ah, kemal, if they had told me before, I could have entered that match as prohibited and thus avoided. I guess we should call it a draw then.

Meli, you probably looked for FC Duckstad which is not the same as FC. Duckstad.
In case someone is unsure, the team ids provided in the tables thread are correct.
I guess we just have to call it a win for tofra...

[tofra]

make it a draw, because I also could have arranged the friendly before te weekend and I didn't.. :-)

[socralynnek]

ah, ok, so you didn't challenge him til sunday evening? ok, then you are probably right, a draw would be fairest then.

[Melifluous]

PP did not accept, I went on to another friendly.

[ProPain]

Sorry Barbu

Just logged in to accept, but you alrdy moved on.

There's a lot going on IRL for me atm. I apologise for all the hassle I;m causing. I;ve set an alarm on my mobile to accept on sundays from now on but if you wanna schedule me out I can understand that as well.

Walk in the park? I was leading before the darn refree redcarded my best defender without batting an eye. From looking to some blonde bia'tch probably as the mover was totally uncalled for. Two more goals from you but before I had the chance to get some more chances you flattened one of my best inners. Where was the refree looking at that time?

Totally undeserved victory ;)

[Robboo]

whahooooo... I tied the chemists. Proof that luck helps.

Lost 1-8.... I never lost this big before... Well done arne...

So who am I playing next round?

4 wartham united - Shabba FC

EDIT: Thanks for another chance to get my post count up!

[yndy]

Meli, Yanche tells me she will log in and accept your match sometime on Monday. Hopefully that is OK with you.

[sz_matyas]

Hmm, wondering what people have to do to get ProPain to accept a friendly. I'll probably start searching tomorrow afternoon, but he was online when I issued the challenge (and logged off immediately after it was issued so probably missed it)

[sz_matyas]

I am happy to report, ProPain did accept my challenge, just later than I expected. So no walkovers yet!

Let's see whether you can lose lower than Shabba did this evening vs Dell...

Won 7-2 vs barbu, quite an impressive number of goals, considering our attack ratings...

[Kemal]

Well, today's result tied my biggest loss ever in the cup, 8-0.

Another friendly attendance record for me though, nearly 6K punters! [yeah]

[socralynnek]

Hehe, the highest loss that my team ever got in Hattrick was also a 8-0 vs FC Suca...
I guess, we are not the only ones with such statistics here...

[Socrates]

Yeah, first victory this season !! :) I was very lucky against Unlucky Aggie, if you look at the stats... And my best player was the GK I purchased today (of course this was the semi-B team). Great.

[arne1]

I beat kingreno. joy. Hopefully I have the luck of the draw with me and can win two more matches to get in the tophalve this year.

[BCLG100]

i lost again. yes i know. your all surprised.

[Robboo]

wahoooo..second win and my new forward scored a hattrick. he will be playing both league and friendlies till next season.

[Aggie]

Second undeserved loss in a row this week... I am happy that THIS was a training match!

[socralynnek]

New fixtures posted.

BCLG, here is your chance to avoid last place. Win that one at home and you have good chances to become 25th or so...

The Marauders challenge Suca...

But maybe the highlght is the English battle for place 2, TBBFC vs wartham united. Can dell grab place 2 despite missing the beginning because of national cup?
But I am pretty sure that dell has to face FC Suca still if wartham can go for spot 2.

Seems im destined to come last again :(

Let me put it this way: if krys loses both matches and you win one, krys might become last.
You just need a little luck for that... at least there is no one without any single point this time...

BTW wartham united will face FC Suca next week at home (in any case causew wartham won vs TBBFC). He might be the only one besides Codrutul able to beat him this season.

But maybe teh Marauders make a surprise win this night...

[Shabbaman]

My team sucks. 246 v.s. 100 hatstats and they still manage to score only 5 times. On the bright side, the first time I fielded only dutch players since 5-10-2003.

Lost 2-7 vs Chemists, and I think there may have been some A-players involved or akots has an impressive B-squad. ;)

3 injuries but fortunately no big ones.

New fixtures posted...

FC Suca has to face wartham now to make perfectly sure he gets the title...

Oh, BCLG, if you look at the ratings that Codrutul had this week, you have a good chance if the lineup is the same next week!

Well, TBH, it is not my fault here. I guess a couple of replacements (coming from A-squad) had to be done because of injuries and this was what did the trick apparently.

Yes, the SP guy made the day for you. Congrats!

[Robboo]

I was outclassed and knew it so I went back to something I was playing around with and tried the "all out" tactics. I am mainly doing it to give my league opponents a different "approach" by my team. IF I can throw a complication in their planning then I may have a chance to move into 1 or 2 next season.

[BCLG100]

i looked at codrutul's ratings ynnek and i saw that they should safely hammer me to pieces.

[socralynnek]

it depends.

if codrutul uses the same lineup as last week vs sz_matyas, then you have a big chance winning that.

[sz_matyas]

I don't know, might be about even money with that lineup, specially if codrutul decides to actually use 11 players instead of only 10. Still I won't complain about the fact that I have now moved out of range of the BCLG award.

[BCLG100]

i dont like how its still called the bclg award, maybe when someone new joins next year i wont win it.

[socralynnek]

The last little, very very very small piece of uncertainty is gone...

Congratulations FC Suca for winning the cup once again!
Your team was clearly strongest and deserved the win!

Oh, and congratulations to BCLG to win the so-called 'BCLG-award' ( I think I have never called it that way...)
Your midfielders today didn't have acceptable stamina, I guess...

[socralynnek]

Scrap that last thought, Codrutul had less confusion in the second half which might explain the big difference in posession, or not?

[BCLG100]

ynnek the day i play this knowing fully wtf im doing will be a sad day for us all so dont worry about it :)

[yndy]

Guys I appologize for forfaiting the last round of the Cup, basically one of my other federations was challenged and I was summoned to defend it's honour.

I play against a div II team. I doubt I can do much but apparently I am one of the best teams in the fed.

[socralynnek]

Results, standings and fixtures for the next week, the final week posted.

Gold is gone. But there are a few teams left with chances for the other medals.

I am facing akots once again. I have looked into supporterstats. This is the eighth game between chemists and Elm (not totally sure if all were in the CDZ Cup, but most)
So, the chemists are the team, I have played the most friendlies against!
(followed by the Marauders and Shabba FC with six)
