This is only for figuring out the 1st/2nd place teams within a group. If someone wants to do all the permutations for the 4 3rd place teams, go ahead. I think these are all correct, but if you see anything wrong feel free to point it out.

The 3rd place permutations look a bit ridiculous for some groups.

On another note -- we should probably figure out how the consolation cup is going to work (**wondering if I'm I now jinxed to play in it since I brought it up**?).

[NAIWF]

Consolation cup? Please explain, I'm pretty much destined for it and want to know what it is :)

[dacman]

Well there was one last year for the teams that did not advance to the knockout rounds. Basically the same thing as the cup is going to be after next week, only with the teams that did not advance in the "regular" cup.

[damnMikeBrown]

Is there time for a consolation cup? Maybe if it was single elimination, but it seems like it'd be awfull close. All depends on the number of teams interested I guess.

[Vince]

I've been talking with HFP about the consolation cup, and will be attempting to run it :) There's plenty of time...it's going to be exactly the same as the FOFC Elimination round, just the next 32 teams. Tiebreakers and seedings for the Consolation Cup will be exactly the same as for the Elimination round...Points first, Goal Differential second and Total Goals third. It will be single elimination, cup rules. I'll have the Consolation Cup bracket ready after Wednesday night's games.

Oh joy, just another reason for those Crawfish to try and hurt me :)

[Poli]

Just a bump, this was some fine work!

[NAIWF]

Just trying to be clear, will there be reseeding in the round of 32 or not? I'm currently # 32 by points, but somewhat higher by initial ranks and just want to know who I should be scouting in case I beat DK :D

[lytic]

I'll make Groupd H easier for you...

Cheapshots and Cows advance.

;)

Must win to advance! Must kill North County Raiders! Must teach them the true meaning of Run and Shoot! Laser Blasters set to Kill!

This is more for later if I'm in Criollo so I don't have to look up all the numbers, but here are the games I will be keeping an eye on this week:

KOTA v. Shaolin Landfills (8076) - Important Cup Match between 2 of our own
Concord Assassins (72162) v. Bamas - For obvious reasons
MoKan Mighty Bastards (70338) v. Goldurnears - Depending on the result of my game, this could be important

Midwest Ice Storm (70500) v. S. Boston Hooligans - Loser goes home. If its a draw, both teams likely go home.
North Plainfield Plague (70778) v. Alf Trickers - Loser goes home
Slumlords (8293) v. West Henrietta FC - Winner advances
South Park Cows (70821) v. White Sox Pride - Winner likely advances
North County Raiders (70913) v. Fighting Crawfish - Playoffs start a week early for these teams.
Galesburg Avengers (70481) v. Complex Spikes - If Seagrove United wins, this becomes an elimination game.
Long Island Pride (70899) v. ThunderThighs - If Greenlight Superior Wins, this also becomes an elimination game.

Galesburg enters the last match of group play with Paradise on Earth team spirit, and a legion of fans carrying Socks Filled With Quarters. Lets rock.

Halftime Update:

CUP
KOTA v. Shaolin Landfills (8076) - Shaolin up 1-0, despite KOTA's 62% poss and 2-1 chances. 58 min in.

Group A
Concord Assassins (72162) v. Bamas - With 66% poss, a 2-0 lead and all 4 chances against a team playing a 5-4-1, it appears I (Concord) am going to advance.
MoKan Mighty Bastards (70338) v. Goldurnears - Uneventful 0-0 game with 60% MoKan poss. If this and game 1 hold up, MoKan will advance.

Group C:

Frankfort United: 3-1 lead, 67% almost ensures advancement.

Group E:

Midwest Ice Storm up 2-0 running a 4-5-1 should advance.

Group F:

Alf Trickers vs. North Plainfield 1-1 right now. Draw advances Alf
Manhattan Marauders down 1-0 right now to the Seamen


Group G:

Arkham Avengers have advanced
West Henrietta FC v. Slumlords - Slumlords up 4-2, needing a win for advancement

Group H:

Chesapeake Cheapshots advance
White Sox Pride v. SouthPark Cows 1-1, 1st goal given up by South Park. They need to win to advance.

Group I:

North County Raiders v. Fighting Crawfish 1-1 61% to Raiders, who only need the draw.

Group J:

Aardvarks 4-1 lead means they will advance barring a miracle.

Group K:

Calibiri up 3-2
Ultra Nox 0-0 playing a 5-3-2! Needs to win and get help, but seems to be giving up his shot.
Flying Condors down 1-0 in a defensive battle between 2 4-5-1 squads.

Group L:

Cedar Pond up 3-0 dominating play, will advance.
Fairfax Admirals tied 1-1
NE Oklahoma up 2-0 in what will be a failed effort to secure 2nd place unless Fairfax gives up a goal. 10 pts would probably get a wild-card berth.

Group M:

Seagrove United up 2-0, 74% making Galesburg/Complex an elimination game.
Galesburg Avengers v. Complex Spikes 2-2. Galesburg up 1 pt in the standings, but a tie would give Complex 10 pts and a possible wild-card entry.

Group N:

Long Island Pride v. ThunderThighs is not happening, so whoever forfeited is out.
Greenlight Superior up 4-0 ensuring that we don't advance an abandoned team.
