Posted February 19, 2012 When is this draw taking place, again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 19, 2012 Why can't we do separate draws for each round like the FA cup? You're going to have to draw who plays at home anyway, may as well add some more excitement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2012 Thats the plan, as i mentioned there is chat available on the stream. I'll let @Haden decide what to use. Flinky, draw is tomorrow @ 8:30pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) We will use the NE chatroom then be good to hijack that :P As for the format it is yours to decide Jimbob, if you don't want to do a live draw every time I will use a randomiser to sort out home and away for future rounds and we can use Madpools table. Entirely up to you Link to NE chatroom is here btw http://www.n-europe.com/special.php?sid=chat Edited February 20, 2012 by Haden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Right, is that everyone @Haden. Going to sort out the names to go into the Fez* whilst i have access to a printer, i'll leave it until 5pm (latest) see if anymore names appear, so far there's 23. Let us know the final format of each round e.g 32 with 10 byes or something, and i / madpool will sort out a table and put it on Google docs or something A reminder, draw is at 8:30pm. I'll be in the N-E chatroom from 8pm for pre-draw chitter. I'll update this thread with the draw results as they come in. And, i'm more than happy to do a draw for each round. As we'll have team names already, i'm sure we can sort out a good time for each round draw. Like @Zell said, it will add more excitement to the tournament. *Yeah, i don't have an "actual" hat. The Fez will actually work better i think. Edited February 20, 2012 by Jimbob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2012 Madpools format looks good for first round. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AvQ3o_vAjSlNdGZkT3ROTng0emZJbGJ5SGRSTXhWUWc&output=html So we will have 7 pairs and 9 spares to make up 16 for the next round. If you are up for doing a draw every round or say until the last 8 that would be great. Can't wait for tonight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2012 Working from 5 until 10 so I'll miss the draw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are up for doing a draw every round or say until the last 8 that would be great. Can't wait for tonight! Format looks perfect apart from one thing... Can we draw who gets a by (or bye?) first as that means the suspense will last for longer. If they are 'drawn' last there won't be any need to draw them as we will know who hasn't been drawn yet. Update - Although I suppose it will still matter for the further rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are up for doing a draw every round or say until the last 8 that would be great. Can't wait for tonight! Actually, that looks pretty good indeed. I'll use it for the initial draw, but i can't really see how more draws would be needed if we use this table, everything slots in nicely as such. For those with byes on the first week, perhaps a random mix-up i could do after the draw which would allow the teams on byes to have friendlies with each other. I can do a mini-draw for those friendlies if you like, gives everyone games as such. It's entirely up to you @Haden, your call. Edit: Actually, i can see how a 2nd draw would work. Mix the last 16 up as such, wonderful idea indeed. Edit 2: Just need to know the team names of Zell and Milagi, and are you in Haden??. Your name isn't on the list, unless you mistakenly missed it off?? Edited February 20, 2012 by Jimbob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 20, 2012 Ok, the draw tickets are complete, all ready for tonight. I'm making this as "professional" as i can, you'll like them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2012 I would suggest: 24 - 12 (Two Pass) - 8 - 4 - 2 Otherwise you have eight passing in the first round. Edit: Wait, that doesn't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2012 I'd like to take my team out the draw for the teams getting a bye in the first round if poss!? In other words, I'm still up for the cup but would like to be involved from round 1. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then 8 teams progress + the 8 teams with byes = 16 teams in the second round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
