    As good an idea as the cup is, I think a league would garner more interest, certainly in regard to people willing to part with their euros

    If we did a tenner a head, i'm sure we'd get 30+. we just need to get the ball rolling


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    Id be up for paid if it was a tenner or 15 quid


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,650 ✭✭✭Munster Magic


    is this going ahead?

    Need a chairperson. As it were


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


    Not enough people at the moment and just over a week til the euros start so we'll do one cup. I'm just thinking of how to get everyone who put their name in involved.

    It won't be a paid cup either, too much hassel and people who entered expecting a free-to-enter cup will then have to be kicked out of it, which is unfair. Well that's what I think anyway. We have 21 entrants. The last 5 to enter won't be in it unless we find a way to include them.

    is this idea dead in the water.......?

    Nope. The original idea is still in full swing but the added idea of having another cup that would be paid for is dead. We'll have 1 cup. Bitta craic sure. I will draw the teams and the teams they will be assigned to soon.


    But.... I think we should include the 5 or 6 others that entered but weren't in the first 16 to enter so they wont be in the cup. But I don't know how to do that without it affecting the format of the cup. Any ideas? If we can't come up with anything then it'll just be the first 16 in it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭carlcon


    Aren't we all in a FSA league anyway? It's not like anyone is being left out of the Boards action - anyone can join our league. It's just bad luck for anyone not in the first 16 in regards to this cup.

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm pretty sure most people rate leagues ahead of cups anyway in FF games. I'm sure everyone will be happy enough in the end.

    If there's a problem and someone outside the top 16 (who is a regular poster here) really wants in, I'll happily give them my cup spot.


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


    Yeah, we'll use the first 16. It was said first come first served anyway.


    I'll do out the teams and the groups and stuff soon.

    Does anyone have a spreadsheet which can be used to calculate points earned when a person guesses the correct winner of a game.
    My local football club are running a competition where you have to guess the winners of all the group stages correctly and then guess who will go through to the next round.
    The thing is, I have been landed with the task of keeping track of everyones points so am looking for some kind of spreadsheet which will calculate the points earned for each person automatically.
    Apologies for jumping in on this post but thought seen as it is similar to what you guys are doing that you may have a some kind of spreadsheet or free tool already

    Microsoft Excel can do what you're asking to be done. You have to type in a addition formula in the top bar to calculate and end total. And from then on if you change any number to a higher number it'll automatically change the answer to suit the new information. Look it up, I can't explain it too well but google will. Fairly simple.

    Will there be a team ID available once the game starts does anybody know? Otherwise we won't have a direct link to everyone's teams to see how they score. If there's no team ID I'm sure we can just go onto the boards league and check up on everyones score who are in the cup. But if there is a team ID, everything will be much easier.


    As for the selections above, it was all done randomly, picked from a hat. (Well.... not a hat but a bowl). I would prove it only I didn't take pictures. But it wouldn't matter anyway because there is no one there who we are sure is amazing at Fantasy Euro 2012. Although I do believe group D is a bit of a group of death if this years FPL is anything to go by.

    Thanks FatRat, unfortunately what I am trying to do is give different points at different stages. If someone guesses a match right in the group stages they get a point whereas if they guess correctly in the quarter finals they will get 5 points

    Out of interest... what's stopping people who haven't given their code yet from having more than one team and eventually giving their best code?

    *Edit* - To answer my own question, I guess most entries are already in the main league, so there shouldn't be any of that nonsense.

    Exactly. BUT, I've sent a Pm to a lot of the entrants already asking for their Team ID's. If they don't give it by the start of the next GW, they automatically lose their first game. Unless of course we can find their team on the boards league, then we'd leave them off if they forgot to give it or aren't logged in over th enext few days.

    Would have to be fairly sad as well to go to those lengths

    Yeah, exactly. But Carlcon's right, there might be some people who'd do it. You'd never know. It is for the craic anyway. It's not like there's any money on it, so you'd want to be proper sad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭carlcon


    I've found my GW1 opponent in the main league, so I'll post the result of that along with the links.

    Munster Man posted his link, so that's 3/4 in Group D sorted, anyway. Jimmy Iovine is a regular, so I'm sure he'll be found easily enough to complete the group.

    I guess it wouldn't be too much bother for me to keep track of Group D for you. Will save time, and I'll be keeping score in my league for myself anyway.

    Yeah, do. That'd be cool. If anyone else wants to step forward to watch their group then you're welcome to do so. I'm doing A, B and C atm. But will only do my group (B) if someone A and someone from C offers to do theirs.

    Just post each team and their scores then post the how the table stands after the gameweek. I was thinking of using the system FPL have and 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. The reason for this is that if teams draw they should get more than 1/3 points. So I think they should get 1/2 instead. Does this make sense or am I just thinking outside the box too much and should we stick with 3 for a win, 1 for a draw?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    I'll try round up the rest of group A


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


    I have a few more ID's now. Probably have around half of them.


    I sent a PM out to everyone in it asking for their ID's.... and I sent my ID as an example. Just notice the ID I sent was actually the highest scoring team of the weeks ID and not mine haha! I must have been looking at it and sent the link for that instead of the link for mine. But now everyone thinks I've a monster score. :cool:

    Can you share the ones you have, please? Will make it more likely for others to offer up 2 mins to collect scores for their groups. Plus I want to see how mine is shaping up. :D

    Go into you latest points page for your team. Now look at the link for that page. It should have: http://en.euro2012fantasy.uefa.com/entry/ ...... and the numbers after the / is your team ID.

    Sorry for the delay, there is still a few ID that need sorting out. Carlcon, Jimmy's is 7473. He finished on 24, so yeah, Munstermagic won it. You have all of Group D so I'll leave you off! Local_Chap takes Lemlins place in the cup.


    FatRat - 7868
    Copper-Pipe - 14006
    Carlcon - 7481
    Formation - N/A
    WoollyRedHat - Russia

    Four people in RoryC, Local_Chap, Fr. Larry Duff and Formation haven't given their ID's yet. I have found RoryC's in the boards league though. I'll try and get them as soon as possible but for now, their games have automatically been lost and given to their opponents for the first round. BUT if I get them soon then they won't automatically lose.

    Munster Magic - 3
    Jimmy-Iovine - 0
    RoryC - 0

    All of the group games in A and C were decided because of drop-outs, which is annoying. Well not drop-outs, but people who still haven't given their team ID's. Hopefully we'll sort it out soon. If there is two teams tied in any group at the end of the 3 GW's, the team with the highest accumulative score goes through.

    As far as I'm aware, this is the first time someone is using this site to make their own off-site FF tournament with their own set-up. It would have been very lucky to have it work out perfectly first time around, so I wouldn't worry too much.

    One thing to be taken from it so far is to not accept entries without them first offering their team ID - that would sort out the missing few right off the bat. Lesson learned, and all that.

    But yep, best to get the ID's before the tournament starts


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


    Yeah but I did send everyone who hadn't given it yet a PM a few days ago. Obviously the few who haven't given their ID's yet aren't active user on this forum. Also, Lemlin pulled out yesterday, that's one of the reasons one game was given.


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


    Forgot about this week's fixtures, here ya go:


    Copper-Pipe vs Thepoet85

    Fatrat vs ThegreenGoblin

    Cullenswood vs Captain-Bob

    Formation vs Fr. Larry Duffy

    KevIRL vs SpaceCowboy

    Jimmy-Iovine vs Carlcon

    Deal. Been over a week and 2 PM's to each of them. But you can take Lemlin's place since the two I've asked to replace him either haven't gotten back or don't have a team. So you're Lemlin. You're in group A. And to keep it fair I'm afraid you've lost your first game. You're up against Manual-Man this week.

    Anyone else wanna give an ID? I've given up on those who haven't given theirs yet. They obviously haven't been on the forum since they entered the cup. Except for WoollyRedHat, we'll give him a chance.

    Apologies lads that I had to pull out. Was very busy last week and kept meaning to get a team done. Then I was doing groomsman for a friend at his wedding Friday and was busy helping him with a few bits so it completely slipped my mind.

    Apologies again and hope I didn't mess one of the groups up.

    Oh no, it's ok. I didn't mean to sound like I was giving out... because I wasn't!


    Thepoet85 is another entry. He was the 17th entrant so he's in now. His team ID is 38736. He'll replace WoollyRedHat in Group A. Like Swoody, he's lost his first game. He's up against Copper_Pipe.
