If you didnt play in the Cup, you will be the lowest seeds. It will also be single-elimination with the higher seed at home. This means we will use Cup Rules throughout the tournament.

Don't quote me on this yet (I'll let you know ASAP) but I think I'm competing in the Windy City cup, so I may have to bow out of the consolation bracket.

Horned- This means we will be using the order of exit, with the first teams eliminated being the lowest seeds (ahead of those which didn't participate) and those who stayed the longest will be the highest. Right??

Thats what I thought it meant. Teams who got eliminated this round are the higher seeds and I will have to figure out some way of seeding everyone who got eliminated in the 1st round, probably goals scored or something (I havent figured that part out yet)
If someone wants to assist with that, that would be great. This was my general plan: Seed structure: Teams who got eliminated in 2nd round, tiebreaker is goals scored, flip coin after that if need be Teams who got eliminated in 1st round, tiebreaker is goals scored, flip coin after that if need be. Brand new teams who didnt play in FOFC Cup II. I will go by team number to sort them. If someone has a better idea spill it.

Ok, list updated. We are up to 17 teams. I am going to start working on the seedings. If anyone else wants to join by 3pm today central standard time, thats fine.

Ok these are the seedings. I will break this up into 2nd round exits, 1st round exits and new teams. If we get any more teams thats fine I will just squeeze them in. In the case where teams had the same amount of goals, I flipped a coin.
2nd Round: 3ric: 3 goals Coffee Warlord: 3 goals couriers: 1 goal Airhog: 1 goal TredWel: 0 goals HornedFrog: 0 goals 1st Round: DeToxRoxDVHStyle: 4 goals samifan: 2 goals dangMikeBrown: 2 goals AnalBumCover: 0 goals illinifan999: 0 goals New Teams (done by ID#) sterlingice: 8574 NevStar: 70296 ausonny: 70510 bbor: 71299 astralhaze: 71389 ramfan: 71475 So 3ric is the #1 seed, Coffee Warlord #2, couriers #3 etc.. and ramfan is #17. This is just so you get an idea where you are in the seedings, it probably wont change very much.

When do you expect the first round to be played? In the next week or in the following week?

Well the plan was to start this next friendly (the 12th). I planned on posting the matchups today after the deadline to sign up. I am waiting for that and if Coffee Warlord is in or not.
As it stands now if he stays in I will remove myself because 17 teams is a nightmare to plan. If he goes to the Windy Cup I will join and keep it at 16 teams. Dont worry I will figure something out.

Argh I need help. I have tried every way possible to make 17 teams work in single elimination and I cant do it, no matter how many teams I give byes to it never works out.
The only thing I have worked out is a play-in game with seeds #16 and 17 then everyone else plays on the 19th, which I guess helps you 3ric.

So if Coffee pulls out, you will enter and everything will work out, right? And if Coffee stays, then we're shifting the first round to the 19th? I just wanna know when I should start looking for a friendly if we aren't starting this week...

Ok heh I am going to make a decision.
3ric already scheduled a friendly. With Coffee out, this leaves 15 teams which makes another mess so this is whats going to happen. This wont start until the 19th (the friendly after this one) so everyone schedule any friendly you want for the 12th. If someone else signs up I will step out. This will still leave 16 teams, but thats all that I can do. So basically if someone else who hasnt signed up wants in, its first come first served. So schedule whomever you want this week and next week the bracket will go on as planned. There were too many variables for me to be able to pull it off in such a limited time window and I apologize. I did try. By the way, does anyone have a clue how to change the title of this thread? I wanted to change it to the date and 1 opening left.

Try messaging SkyDog or Ryan S, I think they had the same problem in the general discussion board & they fixed it.
Edit: Thanks for the work you've done to set this up!

For future reference, you would've needed to give 15 teams byes. Basically only a 16 vs. 17 match in round one with everyone else waiting until round 2 to play -- the 16/17 winner would play seed 1 in round 2, and 2v15, 3v14, etc.

Well, the other way is to create an unbalanced bracket where teams play different numbers of games. I could give you some details on that, but everything becomes messy.

Ok I recalculated the seeds and this is what came out:
2nd Round: (1)3ric: 3 goals (2)couriers: 1 goal (3)Airhog: 1 goal (4)TredWel: 0 goals 1st Round: (5)DeToxRoxDVHStyle: 4 goals (6)samifan: 2 goals (7)dangMikeBrown: 2 goals (8)AnalBumCover: 0 goals (9)illinifan999: 0 goals New Teams (done by ID#) (10)sterlingice: 8574 (11)NevStar: 70296 (12)ausonny: 70510 (13)mrushh: 70689 (14)bbor: 71299 (15)astralhaze: 71389 (16)ramfan: 71475 I couldnt figure out exactly what to do with mrushh since he did play in the 2nd round, so I put him as a new team. So after all that, these are the games, bold team is at home, Cup Rules are on! Remember to schedule these after this coming Wednesday! (1)3ric (IFK Bananskruv (103399) offered vs (16)ramfan (The Big Show (71475) (2)couriers (The Flying Condors (71540) vs booked (15)astralhaze (Hamas Mad Bombers (71389) (3)Airhog (Oklahoma City Rednecks (70559) vs booked (14)bbor (Shoe Horns (71229) offered (4)TredWel (Scranton Slime (71299) vs booked (13) mrushh (Cowtown FC (70689) (5)DeToxRoxDVHStyle (Michigan Moon Shine (70376) vs booked (12)ausonny (The Bees (70510) (6)samifan24 (FC Hartford (70296) vs booked (11)NevStar (Morrisville Morrisvillians (70926) (7)damnMikeBrown (Aviators (8150) vs booked (10)sterlingice (Houston Hippopotami (8574) (8)AnalBumCover (Las Vegas High Rollers (71377) vs booked (9)illinifan999 (Spring Grove Eagles (72093) Ok I have developed a policy about problems with scheduling games. You must publicly post in advance that you have offered a challenge and your opponent has not responded as yet. Please post that you have offered and not received confirmation on the 17th or 18th. If the game doesnt happen, you (the one who posted) advance. I think its the only reasonable way to do it. Ok? Any other questions feel free to ask.

My game this week for the Windy City Cup was a wash, since my opponent already scheduled a friendly. I win by forfeit. However, now I don't have a friendly this week. Anyone open?

Done and done. And I mean done!
Good ideas, both on the rules and location. Just don't expect a great competition - I just got this squad and am more or less clueless about this whole football thingy. The dynasties on this board have been very helpful in getting me oriented, but we're still a pretty weak team.
At the very least my team should be able to boost your team's spirit and confidence considerably. Probably as well as if we were simply 11 sports psychologists out there, whispering ffirming messages into your players' ears such as "you're passable at playmaking" or "your armpits don't smell as bad as the others', for the most part", or "you are very talented at toothbrushing." ----------------------------- Edit - I just noticed that this was my 100th post, and it only took me 28 months to get to this esteemed plateau of posting! Look out QuikSand! Last edited by Fonzie : 02-08-2003 at 05:06 PM. |

Since I am playing TredWel's Scranton Slime, now may be a good time to inquire about a FOFC II consolation bracket for the consolation bracket losers.

I don't expect it to be pleasant. That's why I need another consolation for the consolation bracket. I mean, Cowtown doesn't suck or anything, but you are THE Slime, after all, and #4 seed, and, actully I'm making you feel so secure you'll play your reserves. muahahahaha

So if everybody all set for their matches tomorrow? I lost two players to suspension and another to injury during my league match on Sunday, but I'm not making any excuses.
