CDZ Cup 3rd Edition - Page 5

Yellow Boots - Dynamo Morpork: 4-2

Possession was split down the middle and my defense was worse than his on the center and right, but I had a somewhat better attack than Dynamo did, which might have caused me to win. It could easily have gone either way though.

it's the 90 minute result that counts anyway Shabba

Aren't we playing a cup then?

Yes, i don't see a reason to do cup-matches if it's only about 90 minutes.
It will only increase the risk of injuries.

Attendance is slightly higher for cup rules matches than it is for normal friendlies.

The reasoning behind is that
a) cup-rules friendly games attract more crowd and since some of the teams are small, we want to minimize the loss / maximize revenues in HT money of the tournament.
b) We’re in a league phase of the competition and draws are acceptable in league phases.
c) injury risk is higher only in the extra-time and most of the games will not get into extra time.
d) the difference between the teams used to be large so chance of draws was very small.

Based on the results last week, it is obvious that the difference is no longer that high and that alone is enough to change the 90minutes result rule in league starting from the 4th edition. We’ll stick to the current rules for this one.

OK, but then I won't be playing with cup rules.

Easily, especially I hadn't been trying to get the form up on my B team midfielders.

@spartak Wageningen : please accept the challenge!!!

What a shame...gd only counts. Oh well, play a muppet team in the league next round, so my midfield should consist of at least one excellent player - beware!

SwingStars - Dynamo Morpork 0-3

I beat bootstoots 7-3, hurray. Pretty decent revenue, over 8000 euros (times two, of course).
