Civ Duel Zone - CDZ Cup 5th Edition sign-up and discussion thread

[shout]Welcome at the fifth edition of the CDZ Cup. We are now open for registration for the Cup which will start on 8 March (Tuesday) and is to last for a maximum of 8 weeks.

I am listing the people that are invited, please confirm your participation here or by HT-mail to Yndy_ (Chimica Târnãveni). 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 [book]:
* You need to have an active team in Hattrick [jump];
* You need to register by listing your name and team in this thread by 25 February 2005; 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 set up by Sunday evening, the participants will be contacted on Monday and are expected to provide details of the situation [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 and the other team is allowed to set up any other friendly [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 8 friendly games, there is no elimination from the cup and everybody plays until the end [shoot];
* The first two (or three) 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 2 (3) 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 between 25 and 28 February 2005 when the format of the Cup will be finalized [joker];
* It is possible to have limitations in the structure of the groups and rebalancing of home/away games with the purpose to have international groups and a relatively balanced number of home/away games [blink];
* There will be no rebalancing of the home/away games in the knock-out stages [coool];
* The calendar for the games will be made available by 1 March 2005[guns].
