2024 Major League Soccer (updated Nov. 20)

[flexmaster33]

Thanks for your patience.

I'm back from vacation, and got this one mostly updated except for the most recent batch of matches.

I'll try to get that updated tomorrow night with this weekend's matches going out in the next 48 hours

[flexmaster33]

Congrats to our early conference leaders Kansas City in the West and Orlando in the East.

Also note, the addition of our top 10 by position (posted below the active weekly scoreboards). This gives a look at who has the best front line, coach and back line in the league.

[flexmaster33]

Standings are updated...Kansas City has the top record so far at 7-1-0.
And in the East, the top five teams are just two points apart in what's shaping up to be a wild chase.

[flexmaster33]

New standings and results are up, along with a new leaders tally (top-10 at each position).

Philadelphia (j1mathman) is the top scoring team early in the season with 21 goals already.

[flexmaster33]

Also a heads up, if you go to the Tourney list in CC, I've got a new sports-themed tourney taking sign-ups.
That one will be following the NBA playoffs.

[flexmaster33]

Standings and leaders updated.

[flexmaster33]

Standings are updated with shoop76's DC United moving into the point-leader top spot with 25 ... 8-1-1 record.

[flexmaster33]

shoop76 and the DC United top the league with 31 points as we near the halfway point of the season. He also boasts the league's top scoring group (F/MFs).

I knew they were coming, but these mid-week matches snuck up on me, so hoping to send out two big batches of games tonight.

good luck all

[flexmaster33]

Results updated and May 18 matches have been sent. Good luck all

[flexmaster33]

DC United and shoop76 are off to a high-flying start at 12-1-1 with 37 points as we near the mid-season mark.

[flexmaster33]

Completed matches are updated...I'll work on getting the June 29th matches out tonight/tomorrow.

[flexmaster33]

shoop and his DC United continue to roll with an 18-1-1 record as we head into the 2nd half of the season and the battle for playoff spots heats up.

[flexmaster33]

Hi all,
Just a heads up on two notes...

1. I'm heading on a final summer vacation to the beach for a week, so updates may be slow in the coming days.

2. The real MLS is into its Olympic-break right now, and doesn't resume until late August.
For us, we will have a short break from new games going out -- a chance for all players to get back up to speed.

Then I will send out new matches here in a few weeks. I'll try to give us a little jump, in hopes that our CC playoffs can correspond closely with the real MLS playoffs.

[flexmaster33]

And Philadelphia (j1mathman) becomes the second team to clinch a playoff spot.

[flexmaster33]

Standings updated...two more teams have clinched. Kansas City is the first to clinch in the West, and New England has now clinched a playoff spot in the East.

The bracket picture should start forming here in the next two weeks. Good luck, all

[flexmaster33]

Some of you may have already seen this, and some of you have already signed up
But I've got 3 spots left in my NCAA Football playoff tourney. Just trying to get word out there, as I'd like to get the tourney started in the next few days.

Check it out and name a team if you are interested

Looking to fill in a few more spots to get my Promontory Summit best of 5 tourney going. It's a new map to me, but I enjoyed it when I got to play it recently.

Anyway if you are interested here's the link ...

[flexmaster33]

Congrats to Seattle (kongming3) and Vancouver (overlander) our latest teams to clinch playoff spots.

That leaves 11 open spots to battle for as we head down the stretch.

[flexmaster33]

Congrats to St. Louis, Minnesota and Chicago on clinching playoff spots.

[flexmaster33]

Some of who have already seen, but for those who enjoy the sports season format, my NCAA basketball season event is now taking sign-ups. Check it out!!!

[flexmaster33]

updated...DC United has secured the #1 seed in the East.

[flexmaster33]

Still plenty of movement in seedings to decide over these final few matches of the regular season, but only two spots (in the East) still up for grabs to make the bracket. Good luck as we wind down the regular season.

[flexmaster33]

All regular season maps have been sent out. We've got a tight race for the last two playoff spots in the East. Good luck all

[flexmaster33]

Hi all, many of you are already in this one, but for those who haven't seen it my College Hoops tourney is in the final stages of signups ... three schools left and a reserves list. Jump in now if you like.

[flexmaster33]

The East Bracket is set...wildcard match has been sent out ... New York City at Toronto.

The West Bracket still has a couple active matches that can affect seeding, but should be determined in the next few days.

Seems like MLS is constantly changing its playoff structure. Note that the first-round is a best-of-3 series with the higher seed hosting Games 1 and 3 (if necessary).

No aggregate scoring, just a straight up 2 of 3 matches.

Also, of note, the MLS Cup (championship match) is played at the site of the team with the better record. (No neutral site for MLS)

Good luck to all who have made the postseason.
