    For ease of knock out, its best to start the knock out round with 32 or 64(doubt we will get that many). If we get say between 40 and 63 then this GW will be a qualifier weekend.

    Apologies if I've missed anyone, just post again with your ID and I'll add you to the list. If anyone wants to join, entries will remain open till Saturday 9.30am.

    If you dont know how to find your team ID, on your team page click 'View Gameweek History' - its under where your points total is. Your ID is the number in the URL

    Kev do you think we should limit the number to 64? Or just gonna go with whatever the final number is

    It will be stopped at 64, in the unlikely event that many enter.

    You might be surprised, alot of folks pop up nearer to match day time. Anyway, good stuff, should be a laugh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭FatRat


    Will it be a 5 or 6 round thing? i.e.... It's knockout and if you lose your out. So if there is 64 then 6 rounds and if there's 32 then 5 rounds. But what happens if there is say... 46? How will we get it down to 32? Worst 14 scores knocked out?



    Sorry if it's mentioned above, haven't read everything in detail.

    Sorry if it's mentioned above, haven't read everything in detail.

    It will be knockout. I did mention earlier that the knock out rounds will start with either 32 or 64 players as this is the most straightforward way to get down to 1.

    If say 46 enter then this week will be a qualifying round and the top 32 scores from this week will get through to the knockout stage.

    In the unlikely event there are 64 entrants then I'll stop accepting new entrants and go straight in with a knockout round this weekend.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9 beslowboy


    I played in a 32 team "World Cup" style competition earlier this season, which worked really well as it meant everyone got at least 3 head to head ties, instead of half of the entrants being out after Week 1. There is still time to run this format with 64 teams if you were interested.

    The 64 teams were assigned seeds based on overall rank (this could also be done via a qualifying round) and then assigned countries (for a bit of banter), based on FIFA rank, i.e. No. 1 seed got Spain, No. 2 Netherlands, etc.

    The teams were then drawn from seeded pots into pools and everyone played 3 head to head ties (points were deducted for hits). The top two teams qualified and then it went to standard knockout...

    As expected, some distance from 64 entries so this gameweek will be a qualifying round. As there's no draw to be made, I'll leave entries open till kickoff in the first match (12.45)

    Scores will be your GW score minus any transfer points cost

    Nice try, but transfer point hits do count against your score, so just 59 for you. You still got through though.
