hmm i like that idea a lot actually

you could just say that tied games go straight to penelties and forget the home away ruling

the auto distbution will add some spice too

^^ Yes. That's how I meant it.

But then it just becomes more luck than skill if you tie and have to have a play of and many of the top players will not like this :/

I will like to help.

I will help and play ;) nice idea

Thanks very much Ironheart & Alex. I really appreciate any help as I've never done anything like this before. I'll set up a discussion tournament as a place to chat?

@andy I agree auto is annoying and adds more luck to the game than I prefer. Penalty shoot outs are also unfair and full of luck. (Don't ask a Chelsea fan about that tonight though)

And the player will get a chance to get the job done over two legs and avoid the 'penalty shoot-out' by winning their games.

As I said I'm very open to suggestions to make sure the tournament is interesting and fun.

Speaking of Football I had a idea of the league instead 11vs11 games (more realistically 5 a side) each weekend there would be a game, there's more info to it than that. But i don't think there's a point because not many people will be interested. If 25 people are playing we would only have 5 teams.

But please go back on topic, I didn't want to make a thread for this as it won't happen.

yes dont talk to me (a chelsea fan) about penalties !! Grrrr

A Penalty shoot out is a lot of luck thats exactly why i think the auto distribution shootout should be used. if you dont want to go to a shootout then make sure you win both games before lol

Im in

I would like to play

Who's going to play then? Can we get 32 people interested?

I'm in as long as vacations are honored.

In case you missed it I'm in.

I'm in and will help if you still need any

Helpers are always needed! This wasn't meant to be a sign up thread and isn't an official one. But to me there's no point cluttering the forums more unless there seems to be enough interest to make a full roster of 16 min preferably 32.

@ rento there will be 13 matches maximum (for the two finalists) and 10 matches minimum involved in this competition. And will have to be done as a serious of 1v1 games due to the home/away(/penalties) format. That should be finished in a month for most players). So rather than honouring vacations it might be better if you knew you wouldn't be around that month not to join.

@ Anybody who enjoys maths - I have a mathematical question for you if you can volunteer I'll mail you. :)

Dammit - 6 matches minimum of course!

Unless only 16 entries in which case they'd be less games. (But the games in the group would still be 6)

Sure, throw some math at me, I'll figure it out XD

Well, I'm moving over to another city around September the 27th. I could use a few days of vacation to get the problems with Internet connection sorted.

So I guess I'm dropping out :/

I'd wait until we have a competition before you drop out rento. It might be at a time you can manage, no one knows yet.

Can we have a vote?

Yes or No?
