manafana

il take connacht sure to go with montpellier roomamte might play as them or myself

jamieh

Can I take Newport Gwent Dragons so?

mystic86

attached is the assigned teams as we stand.

those with an asterix chose their teams weeks ago when this game was due out in early September so I don't know if they got it and are still interested.
I PM'd them a couple days ago - if they haven't replied by 6pm this evening I'm gonna let their teams go...

i really want to start this off tonight!! while the world cup is still going on!

can everybody in the above spreadsheet please post your psn username's.

thanks.

mystic86

also, I was thinking of what way todo it...
In the Rabodirect pro 12 each team plays each other twice, but that is 22 games...

So I was thinking, how about everybody plays each other once (11 games total) and we keep scores like they do in real life so points for wins, draw, losing bonus point, 4 try bonus point etc and keep a league teable and at the end of everyone playing each other once the two at the top of the table play each other in the 'final'

what do ye think guys?

really want to kick this off tonight, everybody up for that??

got it after... thoughts on the proposed format??

i think we are gonna use un-balanced team stats for the first competition, otherwise it would make this picking teams thing pointless.

after this one we can run one with balanced team stats

Sounds good to me bud!

I'm just hoping my internet connection is up for it....was playing online lastnight and there was some lag, but it improved after awhile. Hopefully I'll be ok!

ok swapped you rabodirect team... everyone else ready to start?

mystic86

I propose the following settings:

Difficulty: Normal
Match Length: 15 mins
Time of Day: Day
Conditions: Fine

I ask when everybody finishes a game to come on here and post who they played, the final score and the number of tries scored for each team - I NEED BOTH USERS TO DO THIS WHETHER YOU WIN LOSE OR DRAW. A pic of the result at the end would be good if you wanted but is not necessary. But I need both parties to confirm the score. I will compile track the info and post the table.

Everybody will play each other once and I will compile a table based on points like real life. Everybody has 6 games to play in each of the RaboDirect and Top 14. So for most people that's 12 games to play in total.

I would request everybody to get their games played by 7pm Saturday, so the top 2 teams in the league can play each other in the final Saturday night - before the World Cup is over....
