I won't be there to see the draw unfortunately, but looking forward to a potential game against either Aqui1a, Peeps or my brother!! Can't see myself fluking my way to the final like last time so no doubt it'll be an early exit for me this time! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Police are following up on reports of a tunnel bust-up between Dragooooo's midfield hard-man Benny Guevara and Frazer Bull of AC Elites. It is believed that Frazer Bull aimed a punch at Daan Wielink as the teams emerged from the tunnel, which enraged Benny and caused him to launch a verbal tirade at Frazer, his manager, and the entire coaching staff of AC Elites. The pair were separated, as it took over six men to hold back Benny. Mr Guevara was also heard to utter the words, "You! I thought you were a nice guy. You need to shut your f**king mouth. Every week, you!" Video footage has emerged of the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peeps Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'll be working Tuesday night so I won't be able to watch the draw myself but I assume you'll have the video up for later viewing again, Jimbob? Change report was the best I've had so far. Zero decrease and 9 visible changes, a total skill increase of 10. The only let downs were my 24-8 didn't raise (was on 14dv), 19-6 didn't raise (also 14dv) and my 2 9-skilled defenders didn't raise and both were on 15. I'll be working hard for some double jumps next season! I need to get myself a new defender too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui1a Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm very happy with this change report. It matches by best change report ever, and it was completely unexpected. The most surprising visible change was Bonell, who I think was only on 11DV, so to see him visible increase is great! Got high expectations for next season... Peeps, friendly?

MadDog Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Crap change report as expected. Defence and goal keepers weaker. Midfield and forwards stronger. More goals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 As always Peeps, not only the live stream but i also record it as well for the pleasure of everyone. 21 players, this is going to be interesting indeed. If one more challenger appears before 11pm, then easy enough. If not, well i'll have to negotiate with MadDog and see what can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) 11 byes. You need 32 players to have a complete knock out tournament(or 4, 8, 16, 64 etc). The byes are simply the amount of players you are missing. And since you have 11 byes, 10 players has to battle another player in the first round. That means 5 survivors + 11 who got byes equals 16 for round 2. Edited October 22, 2012 by Tales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Serves me right for not checking the thread for ages - I was under the assumption that the cup'd be auto-entry My change report; +5, -9. Whelp, I guess those two are the last nails in teh coffin, eh? I'll continue dragging my knuckles to give the bottom league some face - but I'll just be a resident troll lurking in the depths.

Fierce_LiNk Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ouch, Jay. Please tell us that you are not leaving this game, too? :'( Question: When does the new season start? I'm busy in the transfer market. If I'm playing Elite League football next season, then I'm going to need a squad that are capable enough of not only staying up, but doing it comfortably. Also, can I just confirm that 64ers, myself, Ell and Fedex are all being promoted, with Rising Phoenix, DuDs Baggies and Bubbles FC all going down?

Tales Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 3 weeks since the cup starts on Friday. The cup takes five rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Don't leave Xpert jay, things can always get better. Invest in some younger players and develop the squad. You can turn the -9 into a plus before too long. My change report +6 -3, overall change = +3!!!!. Much better compared to last season, i'll post a screendump later to show this. The team names for the cup have been finalised as of 11pm last night, last minute addition with Haden just before deadline. Reason as to why 11pm, gave me time to prep things as i wouldn't have a lot of time when i get home. Just enough to print, cut and fold. And to eat of course!!!!.

The draw is later tonight so as long as you're in before then so we can sort out how many byes there will be... Does anyone know what would actually happen to the promotions if I removed Bubbles? I was thinking it would mean more would be promoted from the middle league but as he's being relegated that probably wouldn't happen. I guess it'd mean more promotions from the lower league instead?

Cube Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Draw 1: Intergalactico Stars Vs Cubic County I think in terms of relegations/promotions, it tends to make it so less people are relegated, so The Comerade Co-op may not go down.

I was thinking it would mean more would be promoted from the middle league but as he's being relegated that probably wouldn't happen. I guess it'd mean more promotions from the lower league instead? The higher league always gets priority. So I think it means Rising Phoenix stays. Who hasn't been seen in almost three weeks. Or wait, that's wrong I think. It's 10 people in the upper league. 3 goes down so 3 has to go up. But since Bubbles goes, only two goes down. So two goes up. I think that is more likely than having one from lower league replacing Bubbles who were supposed to go the middle, unless someone wants to correct me. I'm not entirely sure about it. Could always ask the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peeps Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Then I think the fairest thing may be to leave Bubbles in as an inactive team and remove an inactive team from the lower league. That way no promotions are messed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ouch, Jay. Please tell us that you are not leaving this game, too? :'( I'll stick around! The lower league is too often too full of non-players so I'll gladly consider myself perhaps a gate master for noobs or something. There's still time to join the cup if you want in.

I was thinking it would mean more would be promoted from the middle league but as he's being relegated that probably wouldn't happen. I guess it'd mean more promotions from the lower league instead? If I may join then that'd be grand! If you remove heroijan and don't replace the team then the league numbers would have to change. If it changes to 10-10-9 then 2 go down to mid, 3 go up, 3 go down, 4 go up (I think) to make the numbers fit. I'm sure we had this problem before..? Haden ought to know the answer.

Fierce_LiNk Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hmm, let's see. Elite League Inter Madpool Eights Battlestar Silverdale Winston Gardens Real Peeps Rising Phoenix DuD Bubbles Middle League 64ers DRAGOOOOO AC Elites Fedex Seahawks Aqui1a Bayern Comerade Hadens Leeds Lower League Coloccini Submarines Recall Emo Bob Andy Allstars Drahkonius Chartreuse Rob Aussie Blue for promotion, Red for relegation. So, Phoenix, Dud, Bubbles go down. Meaning 64ers, DRAGOOOOO and Ell go up. First thing's first, that should happen, since that's the natural order of things. So the leagues would look like this. Elite League Inter Madpool Eights Battlestar Silverdale Winston Gardens Real Peeps 64ers DRAGOOOOO AC Elites Middle League Rising Phoenix DuD Bubbles Fedex Seahawks Aqui1a Bayern Coloccini Submarines Recall Lower League Comerade Hadens Leeds Emo Bob Andy Allstars Drahkonius Chartreuse Rob Aussie So, that's the order of things as they stand. I've bolded the two teams that we seem to be unsure above: Rising Phoenix and Bubbles. Currently there is a 10/10/10 split. But, if Bubbles goes, maybe we'd have to promote the fourth placed team from the lower league, which would be Emo? So, then there would be a 10/10/9 split. Elite League Inter Madpool Eights Battlestar Silverdale Winston Gardens Real Peeps 64ers DRAGOOOOO AC Elites Middle League Rising Phoenix DuD Fedex Seahawks Aqui1a Bayern Coloccini Submarines Recall Emo Lower League Comerade Hadens Leeds Bob Andy Allstars Drahkonius Chartreuse Rob Aussie We could even do a play-off if this sort of things occurs. Like, the team that gets relegated from the middle league with the highest points (Co-Op) versus the fourth placed Lower league team. Over 2 legs, making them exempt from the cup? It would be good if we could sort some kind of precedent to stop this from happening again. We could even do a playoff for the fourth placed middle league team versus the highest point relegation team from the Elite. Last year, we didn't relegate two teams (for whatever reason) and this was unfair on Zell (who did get relegated, as I'm sure if he knew he could have stayed up, he would have tried during those last few games) and it altered the top end of the middle league table, too. (I'm not going to bleat about it, but it did change things). So, we need to have some sort of agreement so everyone knows what is going on.
