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.

It was done before http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056567023

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

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.

FatRat

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


Copper-Pipe vs Thepoet85

Swoody (new entry - 38978) vs Manual-man

Fatrat vs ThegreenGoblin

Cullenswood vs Captain-Bob

Formation vs Fr. Larry Duffy

KevIRL vs SpaceCowboy

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.

Is it only the top 1 team that is going through from each group or the top 2??

carlcon

That was some way to decide the winner of Group D. Munster Magic and captain Rooney finished on 53 points, while I had Lescott captained and finished with 54.

Phew.

Quarter-finals will be done the same as they are in the Euros. Winner of Group A plays runner-up in group B and vice versa. I'll do the fixtures soon. A few went down to tie-breakers to decide first and second. Here's how it all plays out if it were real life and we were the countries we were assigned to. Interestingly the two countries that got 0 points in the actual Euros are 2 of 3 to get 9 points in our fantasy euros :rolleyes: Congrats to everyone who's through. KevIRL and Carlcon are both on fire, they're looking like the tournament favourites.

KevIRL - 7476 vs Munster Magic - 34856

Carlcon - 7481 vs SpaceCowboy - 14405


Thing I just noticed that has no relevance to anything but is just a coincidence and I just noticed it. The four on the left (winners of the groups) are all between 7000 and 8000 of all the entrants in the game. While the lads on the right are all later entrants.

Cheers for pointing out that i am far ****ter then the rest haha...:pac:

Ireland v France........allez les bleus, allez les bleus

Think I might try and coax Henry out of retirement for this one:D

The numbers aren't overall ranks, they're the team ID's. Your team ID identifies which number entrant you are. If you were the first to sign up to the game your ID would be 1.


On another note.... Thepoet85 hasn't changed his team since the group stage. Looks like I've a free ticket to the semi-finals. Or I still might lose, despite him having only 7 playable players in his team :pac:

SpaceCowb0y

Haha oh right... dont feel as hard done by now:rolleyes:

On another note! Portugal done a serious number on the Czechs last night and really inflicted damage on my squad! Cech in goals, Selassie in defence and Pilar in midfield and not a portugal player to be seen!

Captain choice could be crucial in stayin in the competition!

Best of luck to Carlcon, may the best manager win!

SpaceCowb0y

Captained Gomez... didin't even start!!!! DOH!!!!:(

manual_man

From what i can see, myself, FatRat, KevIrl, and CarlCon, are all through...

Carlcon by 1 point, KevIrl by 2 :pac:
