[Shabbaman]

Lousiest. Startpost. Ever.

I'm in.

[socralynnek]

I'm in.

Start should, as always be, after match 7.

So, which format do we use?

-League with KO-rounds afterward
-double league stage with a few KO-rounds
-swiss system
-something even more fancy

[Kemal]

I'm joining too. Swiss system of last season worked pretty well, but it seems more of a hassle to organize.

I don't really have a preference though, so I'll just go with the flow.

[Mistfit]

Count the crazed clowns in this season... no preferance..

[Tubby Rower]

Word.

I'm in this season too.

[barbu1977]

I'm in.

[sz_matyas]

I'm in though I might have to quit trying if you keep rigging it so I end exactly in the middle of the pack.

[Robboo]

I am in...

[Kingreno]

So...where's the sign-up thread?

[akots]

I'm in, no preference. It does not seem that the system is critically important for the final standings in the cup and it is fun either way.

[arne1]

I am in but I think I will have a "team-sitter" for three weeks in May so he needs to be informed via HT-mail (on my account) and will not be able to login at every convenient moment.
And I still have to ask him.

I liked last years setup, I still got screwed so I agree it does not really matter how we do it.

And it was the worst startpost in my recollection.

And where is the sign-up thread?

[Socrates]

I'm completely lost : where is the sign-up thread ?? [???]

I'm in BTW. [tongue]

[Aggie]

I'm in...

[Darth Pugwash]

I'm in again

[BCLG100]

do we need both we just talk in every thread anyways?

[Tubby Rower]

so who's starting the signup thread?

[arne1]

I am not!

but who is supposed too?

[BCLG100]

well theres a list of names in the first post..

[English_brit]

I'm in. I don't mind which system we do.

[Dell19]

I'll join.

[Melifluous]

me 2.

[melihere]

[Tubby Rower]

so who's running it this season?







not it!!

[Melifluous]

Bagsy not it.

[meli]

[arne1]

Since I still have to arrnge my teamsitter I am also not it.

[ProPain]

I'm in if you guys still wanna have me. My only goal this season will be to accept all friendly matches in time. It will have priority over maintaining 6th division.

[Sibul]

/me is in. I have friend who want to play too here if there is room then add him too

[BCLG100]

shotgun not running it! Though if it starts after like may and the time im not at glasto i may be able to help.

[Shabbaman]

So I understand BCLG runs the competition this time?

[BCLG100]

in a way, what i'll do is just do the same fixtures as last time but for the next month i have exams so wont be able to do it. course if anyone else wants too..

[English_brit]

Does that mean we're doing the Swiss system?

[Kemal]

@Sibul: sure, anyone can join!

I'm thinking it will be the swiss system again yes, socralynnek did a very good job with that last year and I think everyone enjoyed the format.

[Kemal]

A small update on Snaken's status for the cup: I'd love to join in again, but I have to warn in advance that I probably won't be able to play the last game on the final wednesday. On that day, my coach - who has been with Snaken since almost day 1 - will enter the HoF and will play his final match against the same opponent he started off against 3 years ago.

Since I'm not playing for medals this year I'm sure, I hope this will not be a problem...

[socralynnek]

So, OK, guys.

I have some time in the next few weeks, so I think I can manage it again if it should be Swiss system (if everyone is fine with that)

Let's say, if no one objects in the next 24 hours, we are doing a Swiss system and I am managing it (at least for the first weeks, but as I am using a program, I could easily hand over to someone)

We'd need to discuss how to handle WOs, but I'd open a thread for such discussions tomorrow or so.

[Tubby Rower]

so should we start a signup thread to see who wants to join?

[arne1]

yes a sign up thread that sounds great!

[Socrates]

When does the Cup start ? Is it next week ? Waiting for an answer before searching a friendly (or not).

[Shabbaman]

The cup starts in the week after your 7th league match. So that's not this week.

[tofra]

I'm in! :-)

[arne1]

Since I will be of on holliday starting monday, my teamsitter will take over for a few weeks. Pleas HT_mail me to make ure he accepts the correct freindly the first two weeks of the cup.
I supposse the "draws" will at the hattrick forum as well?

[socralynnek]

I will post the draw to your account.
In the Hattrick Federation, I will post the matches too and probably in the forum for the CDZ Youth league.

[socralynnek]

I have got a question.

This time, I don't wanna count home and away games. The program I am using can set home and away according to how many home games one had so far and can even give it to the one with lowest rating if the othger criterions tie.

That's fine.

The remaining questions is how to handle WOs.

I see two possibilities:

- Count it as forfeit (bye for the other) which would mean that it doesn't count towards home and away and means with this program that the non-walkover team wins 3 points with the game counted as 0-0 for goal difference.

- Set it at 0-5 with setting the WO team as home team. This means that a WO team will be punished by losing the game and losing a home game.

I will take care that no team receives two announced WO wins (for national cup or so).

What are your opinions?

By the way, is it ok if we start with two introduction rounds like last season?

[Tubby Rower]

I'm fine with an all away schedule so any home games are gravy. WOs are evil and should be eradicated :D

[socralynnek]

I have posted the matches for the first round.

[Dell19]

Nice to see that I don't give away a WO in the first round. :)

[socralynnek]

Yeah, good that it is an even number of teams still in the cup, otherwise I would have to...I don't know what I'd done then.

[Tubby Rower]

so if one person loses in the cup then someone else will have to lose too.

[Kemal]

As a headsup to the organization, I wanted to make clear I organized a different friendly than the one organized in the fixtures list because of two things:

- spartak kimski and my team sporadicaly do log in from the same IP (when I am at their place or they are here),

- as you can see, due to a freak coincidence both my IP and that of kimski have the same 5 starting numbers, which could trigger some overzealous cheat-reporters to go submitting cheat reports, which could lead to all kind of unwanted results, such as temporary closure of teams etc.

I know this probably should have been reported earlier, but that on the other hand would have polluted the draw for the fixtures in the 1st place. Btw, the same goes for matches between me and Xerxes and Xerxes and Kimski. As warned by a dutch GM, they (the GMs) tend to disapprove of matches between family members/same IPs.

I am willing to accept any consequences with regard to the result and the home/away calculations, since I'm late with reporting this anyway. :)

[Mistfit]

[banned]

[Kemal]

Hehe, guess that was too easy an opportunity to let pass eh?

[Mistfit]

I made the damn smillie.. I just needed a chance to use it [mistfit]

[socralynnek]

Ah, well, I knew the thing between kimski and xerxes from last cup.
I think, we should call it a draw and let the game count as home game for you, kemal, as you are the one who most probably will be making more money in the later stages of the cup anyway...

[Mistfit]

I second the emotion

[Kemal]

Ok, fine with me... I'm playing at home this wednesday now anyway so that's cool.

[sz_matyas]

Looks like I might have to report a WO in the first round. FC Dibbelabbes hasn't logged in since the 5th so he hasn't had a chance to accept my friendly. So much for using the A- team in league to get off to a good start.

[socralynnek]

I'll try to reach altkaese, I guess, I even can get his phone number.
If you can wait a little, then please wait, otherwise you are free to get another friendly.

[barbu1977]

If any one knows a way to reach Propain. Please ask him to accept my friendly.

I'll wait until tomorow morning.

[sz_matyas]

Figure I'll wait until a few hours before the international friendly deadline as I'm not flag chasing.

[socralynnek]

altkaese already accepted your firendly before you wrote these lines, sz...
I have reached him by phone.

[Socrates]

Cool, CDZ service on the phone ! [cool] Ynnek, I'd like a Margherita with a giant Coke, please. [tongue]

[sz_matyas]

Thanks, I checked CDZ before hattrick in the morning if that tells you where my priorities are.

[barbu1977]

I will find another friendly.

PP has not logged here since may 10th and in hattrick since april 20th.

Anyone knows a website where you can advertise/find a last minute friendly?

[Tubby Rower]

hottrick.com I think has a section on friendlies

[BCLG100]

just post a note about it on the advertisment board- someone will accept

[Tubby Rower]

also look at other countries friendly ads.

[sz_matyas]

Man hattrick is being harsh to me, with one forward already hurt, I lost his backup and then my emergency spare and we're still in the first half. Don't know what I'm going to do for league play, as I now don't have enough forwards or wingers (I don't expect either of these guys to be healthy as they are 35 and 18 yrs old even if it is a 1 week injury).

[Tubby Rower]

an 18 yo could heal before the weekend's match if you hire some doctors. The 35 yo is just gone man. Take him back by ole yeller's grave and give him the same treatment.

[sz_matyas]

should have said 28, not 18 (turns out his injury was 5 weeks and since he's my top winger as well as my 3rd forward it's really going to hurt). The 35 yr old is a future coach and didn't really want to play him, but injuries forced me to (his is only one week, so there is an outside shot of him healing eventually). Still shouldn't affect that ability when I finally switch at the end of the season.

[BCLG100]

no worries, apparantly if you advertise your player when selling on there you can get more, on average

[sz_matyas]

A match, not multiple matches. I still need to win the division for the cash and cup ranking.

A very strange match since I actually fielded a rather decent midfield there. I'm not sure why it had been evaluated as wretched. [confused]

Anyhow, good job, BCLG! [goodjob]

[Aggie]

Congrats BCLG. Strange match indeed. I fear that I will end up last now though...

[Tubby Rower]

well Aggie all you have to do is win 2 matches and you'll win on points [lol]

[BCLG100]

[:p] always gotta take the gloss of dontchya tubs ;)

yeah i noticed your lot better than mine midfield, must just be because my players decide to get bruised every game.

[Tubby Rower]

[lol] well you give me a nice kick in the pants in civ4 so I gotta take my shots where I can.

[Robboo]

sz.....I am selling an older forward...due up in a few hours.

[Aggie]

+9 in injuries. No vital players but still... What a 1st game...

[sz_matyas]

and the race for most injuries is on

[BCLG100]

is there a comp this season?

[socralynnek]

luckily, we have again an even number of teams still in the cup as Suca and Wartham went out...
Bad for those two, good for the organiser...

I'll post the fixtures later or tomorrow in the morning.

[Socrates]

I got a very lucky win against Meli. :) And fortunately, no injury.

[socralynnek]

new fixtures posted!

[Tubby Rower]

I have no idea how I won this one. I guess that winger training paid off since that is how the only goal was scored. I won with only ~15% of the possession (high wretched vs very high passable midfield) [lol] quote:1747 spectators had come to Three-Mile Island this cloudy day. Meltdown started off with a 5-4-1 lineup. Starters: Barrera - Gurmann, Linehan, Palacios, Zarev, Magnusson - Filipovi#263;, Gjermandsen, Eberle, Rönnwald - Sastre Miralles.

DSE decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. They fielded: Popa - Meininger, Jansson, Donovan, Etzel - Chobot, Heiter, Paul, D#322;uba#322;a, Augustinussen - Eskerod.

DSE's Jupp Heiter was shown a yellow card after 11 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Meltdown were pushed back, and had many dangerous counterattacks. An impressive one came in the 15th minute, but Fernando Sastre Miralles narrowly missed the free kick attempt. Meltdown appeared unsure on how to play and their organization was only passable. Down the middle came Jupp Heiter, making a fantastic play that nearly had DSE take the lead in the 31st minute, but Rodrigo Barrera preserved the tie. There was a bit of a mixup on the field as Meltdown found themselves out of position and their organization level dropped to weak. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. This half belonged to DSE, who controlled the ball 83 percent of the time.

Meltdown's coach took some time during the break to go over his strategy, which raised Meltdown's organization to passable. Meltdown seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. One of many good passes from Kostadin Filipovi#263; at the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by Fernando Sastre Miralles, scoring the 1 - 0 goal for Meltdown. Meltdown's Niklas Magnusson got himself booked for a foul. DSE, bringing their ball possession to 84 percent, dominated the battle.

Meltdown's top performer was clearly Steen Gjermandsen. Maximilian Gurmann turned in a dismal performance, however. Jan D#322;uba#322;a performed admirably for DSE. Sebastian Etzel turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 0.

What's bad is that Max Gurmann didn't perform up to expectations against his mother team. I bought him off of ynnek last season and he must have been chatting it up with his old friends instead of focusing on the game

[socralynnek]

Yeah right, the goal wasn't a normal chance.
This was a Special Event which is caused by high winging skill...

I played practically without attack as the guys there are in a bad shape cause they didn't play while I was still in the national cup.

[Tubby Rower]

I was wondering where this came from ... "Meltdown were pushed back, and had many dangerous counterattacks. " I'd never seen that even when I tried playing CA.

[Socrates]

My challenge has yet to be accepted. If not by tomorrow I will have to accept another one.

[BCLG100]

Ynnek is away from civ iirc but he might be able to get to the internet. not sure on that

[Robboo]

I was supposed to play meli so we will see I will wait as long as I can.

[BCLG100]

Stupid hattrick with its crashing- tried to get in 3 times recently to set my lineup for tonights game!

hopefully i should be able to do so in time.

It's up now, it seems!

Yup, hopefully you can accept the youth challenge as well !

[BCLG100]

I did before.

Fuck me ciuly! sure sent the reserve team out tonight didnt you! ;)

congrats, after the heroics of last week i got hammered 9-0 :(

edit- yep just checked i didnt get a chance the whole game!

[Robboo]

I had to take another challenge. It said it was too late for accepting the challenge that I sent to Meli. Hopefully I can find a friendly.

[socralynnek]

Yeah, sorry, didn't have much time the last days.

Robboo, you should still be able to get a national friendly but not an international one.
I'll note you the points then...

The table will be updated tomorrow in the morning together with the new fixtures.

[Melifluous]

Damn sorry Robboo,

Been away on business on the Isle of Man doing a server migration since Thursday.

Just back in civilisation now and knew I'd be too late to sort this out.

My humblest apologies :(

[meli]

[Robboo]

no problems I found a friendly. Meli I will challenge you after the cup if your interested.

[socralynnek]

Wow, Tubby was leading 2-1 at halftime but Snaken won 2-6 in the end...

Fixtures up in a few minutes...

EDIT: Done. Fixtures available. Walkover win goes to Aggie for being last...

[sz_matyas]

Doh! Couldn't quite overcome akots luck there, despite having slightly more hatstats. Still it feels nice to actually compete with some of the bigger teams for a change.

[Tubby Rower]

Yeah I almost pulled off 2 upsets in a row :) but alas... my fat lardos couldn't cut the mustard.

[Aggie]

This probably will be the only win of this cup for me [help]

[Kemal]

Most of the time I won't be fielding a keeper nor any defenders in my friendlies this season, so I think it is safe to say anyone can score goals against me... Fortunately, vs Tubby I had 3 of my A-midfielders available to play else it would have been an entirely different story.

We probably play each other, which means that you will then have 3 points over me again!

My 2nd team has two replacement midfielders for the A-squad, 4 rather weak winger trainees a defender sub and a forward sub. The rest is very very weak indeed.

I also decided not to have anyone (read A-squad players) on the bench anymore, after last weeks' injury disaster.

[BCLG100]

Oh, i just have the one team that i play over and over again- changing the forwards around when they're not injured!

[arne1]

Crap! I am below BCLG! This is an outrage! Something has to be done.

[Robboo]

I will beat him this week and drop him for you.

[arne1]

First results coming in:

Elm vs Dibbelabbes 5-0
wartham vs De Snaken 6-0
Manglers vs kimski 3-0

and no WO this week!

Thanks guys!

[BCLG100]

[assw][assw]to both robboo and arne i believe [:p]

[sz_matyas]

shoot I guess I shouldn't run anyone over 20 out there otherwise they get hurt or something. BTW congrats BC now if you'd just show similar effort on the PBEM (it's been over a week since my last turn)

[socralynnek]

Wow, BCLG still above me in the table...

And the marauders have an impressive number of goals 19-0...

The free win goes to altkaese for being last...


Fixtures updated.

[Tubby Rower]

wow... this does suck with Simon being on top. Who let him win the second game?? Robboo!!

[Robboo]

my team has to play the scrubs on this...I also just started a new few trainees. BC has finally started paying attention to his team more.:) congrats

6-0 with twenty minutes left, still a good effort from me i think :)

[Aggie]

Hmmm... A trainee got injured for 4 weeks. It's a wingback so no dramatic news. But I'm sorry that I bought this guy. It's his 2nd injury since I got him.

Congrats on the win Tubby!

[Tubby Rower]

I had a trainee get injured for 2 weeks and another bruised.

[Aggie]

Ouch...

[socralynnek]

So, results and new fixtures are coming in a few minutes...

[socralynnek]

Wow, mistfit has conceded his first goal...

I guess that might change next week, as the marauders are being visited by FC Suca...

BCLG, I am coming to get ya....!!!!

[BCLG100]

Im confident in my players abilities to knacker everyone of your players and then score from a set piece :)

[sz_matyas]

Woohoo only 0-5 to FC Suca. Guess that means I'm on way to crushing you all (or finishing exactly halfway again whichever)

fc dibbelabbes is not accepting my freindly? I she alwyas this late?

normally not. I can try to phone him tomorrow at noon or so if you can wait that long.

I'm going to look for another opponent.

[socralynnek]

I'll ask him if he forgot about the CDZ Cup or what happened.

Then I'll decide what to do.

[socralynnek]

It has to happen once per cup season, I guess...

EB was looking for FC Duckstad instead of FC. Duckstad...

BTW:

If you copy this postzing number 9124369.1 on the HT-forums start page, then you'll get the CDZ Youth league forum into your forum list.
There I'll post the fixtures tomorrow too...maybe even with links to the teams...

[Socrates]

Funny facts from my game today, against spartak kimski :
- The player I pulled last Saturday (old system), who is already fired now (he is thinking of playing golf), was my GK today, and made a "spectacular save". Zero star of course. That's because my usual GK is injured, and I wasn't arsed to buy a replacement (crossing fingers for next league match).
- It was 3-3 late in the match. spartak eventually won 4-3, thanks to a goal from... Emmanuel Delatour, a player he bought from me a few months ago ! I realized that not so long ago. He is so far my best pull (as the sticky thread says).

[Kemal]

Heh, yes a remarkable coincidence since I know that she bought the player without knowing/taking into account you were the owner, i.e. via a regular transfermarket browse. I can recall you being somewhat disappointed with the transfer price at that time... ;)

At least you know he is being trained and will probably earn you some mother club money some time in the future. :)

In other news, Snaken got trounced.. again, losing badly to Meli (4-0). I've recently sold some big players and mostly have skilltrades in the midfield, maybe I can give BCLG a run for his money with regard to finishing last... [sad]

[socralynnek]

Probably your keeper slipped and fell and so it just looked like a remarkable save ;)

And the other one hates you for selling him to the Netherlands...that's revenge...

[Shabbaman]

Woohoo, I managed to beat a romanian team!

And I can't recall my reaction towards his price. Where do you find the place to remember such things, Kemal ? (oh, I could be asked the same question for other stuff, I suppose)

[socralynnek]

And I think you already played a female manager last week...

[socralynnek]

Half time report (and me being awake means, that the new fixtures will be up in an hour):

Crawfish-Aggie has more spectators than Marauders vs Suca...unbelievable...

What's also unbelievable is that the Marauders are leading at halftime 2-1...

National friendly Tubby vs penguins: 0-0

Crawfish-Aggie 1-0

[socralynnek]

So, FC Suca has won again...who would have expected that...

But it's still pretty close at the top...

Fixtures posted.

[Tubby Rower]

freaking penguins.... I should have ahd a draw :(

[barbu1977]

I fielded my A squad and still lost 0-6 :(

I guess I don't belong to the top of the cup at all.

[sz_matyas]

maybe if there was more than 1 event in the first half I would have shown my true dominance. Actually I had a downright terrible attack so you may be right, but I prefer to think of my team as awesome.

Strange, but I'm happy with it. It probably helped that my fans are over the moon after winning 8-0 vs a BOT.

Here's hoping that Dibbelabbes accepts the friendly soonish, not leaving me wonder IF he will accept...

I made it close anyway.. I might have had a better chance if both of my forwards were not injured from the league match.. realistically the end result is much better than it should have been. He killed me in all of the big stats.

[Darth Pugwash]

My internet connection has been on the fritz for about a week, so apologies in advance if I'm unable to accept friendlies.

[Mistfit]

At what time am I legally allowed to schedule a friendly? Propain has not responded to the request or HT Mail I put in to him on Thursday...

[socralynnek]

You are legally allowed on Mondays, so now.

If you have the time to wait for another day, then please do so, if you don't wanna wait anymore then go ahead and arrange another friendly!

[Mistfit]

never mind.. while I was reading your response Proppain accepted the challenge :D so all is good

[BCLG100]

Just to let everyone know that i leave soon and wont be able to accept a challenge till late tuesday evening, if thats too late then just don't put me into the fixture list this week please ynnek :)

[Kemal]

I think tuesday-evening is too late to register international friendlies, the deadline set by HT is tuesday 1800 iirc.

[socralynnek]

Yep, Kemal is right...therefore, someone (the last placed team to haven't have a bye already) will receive a bye.

this way I will not have the pleasure of kicking BCLG Butt.
Diappointing[sad]

[BCLG100]

How about someone logs in for me? and accepts the friendly? i have a standard team setup so maybe that could work?

[Tubby Rower]

I could do it for you... just pm me the details. I'll log in accept, then get out.

As you can see, all matches were arranged but no match is today...

Looks like a busy Wednesday...

[arne1]

finally moving uop to the halfway point.

[socralynnek]

Tubby, is that sorted out? Fixtures are coming tomorrow in the morning.

[Aggie]

Wow, I won with an unbelievable 7-0!! I guess I won't end last at all. The horror!!

Downside though is the injury of my most promising trainee...

[socralynnek]

Fixtures updated.

In this thread in the HT - forum: 9174017.1
You can all find the standings with links to the teams. There you can easily find the right opponent...

[Tubby Rower]

no I didn't get a PM from Simon... :( I guess he's gone now

[socralynnek]

Hmmm, ok, krys, you have a walkover win....

[Aggie]

My 5th game vs the Barbiers. 5 times lucky after 4 losses?

[barbu1977]

I hope not, I have had way too many losses in this edition.

[Kemal]

Looks like something gone terribly wrong for Crawfish, with Snaken winning 0-5 on a WO vs a 1-3-1 lineup... :(

[socralynnek]

I guess, FC Suca will be winning again...

New fixtures posted!

[Aggie]

You slaughtered my guys!

[Robboo]

I want to apologize for the unset players walkover. Dont knwo what happened there. Probably didnt hit save after i adjusted it.

Wow, I'm impressed with my boys. Let's hope they can do the same on sumday.

[Shabbaman]

WTF, why am I next in line to get slaughtered by FC Suca?

[BCLG100]

Well one time i got battered by Suca so everyone has to be i guess.

[Shabbaman]

"Once?" (http://www83.hattrick.org/common/matchdetails.asp?actionType=teamStats&TeamID1=183165&TeamID2=144548) [cry]

the simple answer is: You won too many matches.

[socralynnek]

Robboo, btw, I guess you don't have to apologize...

Really bad are only games that aren't arranged, this way you only hurt yourself...with a loss of training...

At least Kemal couldn'get no injuries...

[Robboo]

yeah but sometimes...we "try" things out in friendlies. I hate it when it happens to me so I dont want to tick anyone off.

[Kemal]

No worries, actually with a mega-important QF coming up I welcome any opportunity to prevent injuries on key players. :)

[socralynnek]

New fixtures already posted. I might not have the time for that onb Thursday and the matches wouldn't look that much different on the last day anyway...

Don't know when I get to update the tables.

[BCLG100]

Awww man another one away! do i ever get one at home? :(

[socralynnek]

The one where you were at that festival was a home game for you...

BTW, I challenged your youth squad for a friendly...

[BCLG100]

Still no word from FC dibblebas- not sure if that is right, but have i challenged the right team?

led by 'Oliver Vogel'? 'altkaese'?

[Robboo]

I have not received my acceptance yet...I am 100% sure its correct. :)

BC care to play if you and i dont get an opponent...I need to stamina train.

[BCLG100]

Sure may as well. I'll give him till tomorrow though :)

[Robboo]

cool..I will send you a challenge... accept it once you get a chance. IF kimski has accpeted mine by then ..no harm. if not we are set to go.

[socralynnek]

Arranged another friendly as PP didn't accept my challenge...

Sad that the last week seems to see some unarranged matches...

[Tubby Rower]

well krys quitting HT was understandable....

[Robboo]

kimski accepted so we are a go. :)

[BCLG100]

It's tuesday my time now so i had to accept another challenge.

[Aggie]

Beaten up again. Man, I really have a bad team... And I forgot to line up my real GK...

[BCLG100]

Looks like my cup is going elsewhere this season!

[socralynnek]

Congratulations to FC Suca for winning the cup once again!

I'll post the full standings tomorrow in the evening.

[BCLG100]

*just waiting to be told he didnt come last*

[socralynnek]

There you go...
Congratulations!

I'll compile a set of statistics on saturday or so...

[BCLG100]

Wooooo!!!

Cheers once again ynnek for running it! great job :)

[sz_matyas]

Way to organize everything Ynnek, excellent job and hopefully I will continue to improve in future cups

[barbu1977]

Wow, 6th place nice. The last game being called before the last week probably helped my ranking :)

Congrats to the winner

And many welcomes to Ynnek for running the show.

[akots]

Chemists came in 4th which is iirc the best result so far and is quite surprising.

Major thanks for Ynnek for organizing this spectacular event! [goodjob]

And big kudos for FC Suca for taking the cup!

[arne1]

thanks sacroalymnek,

I ended 7th finally achieve my lang standing goal to end up in the top halve. Next season I will be crap again.

[Aggie]

Krys came last but ended his HT carreer. So the person ending last and being still active is.... Unlucky Aggie :(

Thanks Ynnek and congrats again FC Suca!
