Thanks for organizing Craig ... this should be a fun one.

Chairman of Lokomotiv Moskva Igor Olexboloyev wants to welcome every team in the Lokomotivestadium.
Never underestimate the power of communists !!

[fersum]

Is it possible to slow down the speed of the tournament? As it is now it is just alot of games with No exitement about Who we Are up against. Is it the Game for promotion, relegation or something Else.

Just My opinion...

[adban]

In my opinion, it's the best tournament ever, give a nod to the organiser/s, they put in a tremendous effort for our benefit.

Hey Craig,

If I understand well, there will be a ranking at the end of this round to put players in a new stand chart right ?(European premier league, euro championship, euro division 1, 2 etc.). Then, 10 seasons will be played and European Super League champion will be the one winning the most time the European premier league right ?

Questions: how come a team put in the 14th division climbs up to the european premier league in 10 seasons ? It's a bit unfair that this first pre-season will then determine your ranking for the rest of the competition. For exemple: I am having a really bad start (I feel really unlucky but it seams I am also a bad player regarding the result). I will then be put in a lower division. What can I expect then if I cannot reach back the eauropean premier league because there is not enought season to do so ? What are the credit for a team that succeeded the pre-season (then put in the european premier league), win twice the european premier league and is then claimed european super league champion (if no-one do better) instead of a team climbing 9 times up but without reaching the european premier league ?

This is a bit unclear to me and unfair.

Thank you for your response,

Have a nice day,

Mishalex

Answer to this is in the 1st Post. Opening Round results determines your starting League.

Highest scoring players start in PL, next 8 in Championship, etc

Hi Fersum

It is a lot of games but there is a simple way to follow it. It is 7 Matchups consisting of 2 games against each player. 3 points for 2-0, 1 point for 1-1. As players typically take turns in order, the potential outcome of each match should be easy to follow in your games page as the 2 games will be next to each other.

Combine this with the Score updates and League Updates and it should give you a good idea of your League position and what it means. Updates havn't been as often or as detailed as I would like on this Tournament due to Excel issues. That'll soon be resolved and you'll have information over load.

Hope that helps M8.

Thanks craig for the answer, and thanks for making the tournament real

[Craig25]

In top of this Mish, each season2 get promoted.

So even if someone started as low as Div 9 they could win the Premier League.

I could update number of seasons to incorporate even the lowest Leagues, but this Tournament is about the Leagues. There will be plenty of Kudos for those winning Leagues and getting promotions to rise through the ranks.

Not complaining here at all but i seem to be playing folks with 1000 more points than me.
> The Tournameent is designed so that you play players of a similar ranking from Round 1 to the finals. <

is this true?

You need to read the first bit in the thread. Basically, the first round of games is setting out the leagues for round two which is the actual start (so round one) of the the leagues. So anyone, regardless of rank could start in the top league. It's dependent on the results in the first round of matches that are currently being played. You're total points determine which league you'll be in. So yes if you're on a low rank you'll be playing higher ranks in the initial round of games, but this has to start somewhere. It's far fairer than just ranking from the start as one on one games have proved already that lower rank players are biting everyone's ankles and rising to the top.

I think that's right...lol

Thanks, that makes sense per the tourney rules, but it its based on 1st round wins, then its not based on points? that's what is confusing...

[Craig25]

Opening Round sets starting League. Then, you will be broadly playing players who ended up on similar POINTS to you in the opening Round. So again broadly, you will be playing simlar ranks. But saying that, there have been lots of upsets!

"The Tournameent is designed so that you play players of a similar ranking from Round 1 to the finals."

This isn't Round 1, its the Opening Round to set your starting position in Round 1! Or Season 1. So what I said is correct.

In this Round, the Opening Round, here are the seedings per division. Divisions were accurate but seedings from 76 down have then got messes up when formulating a complicated spreadheet. Serreski is sorting that now. This table isn't the best but I can't put Excel on here:

Prem Cham Div 1 Div 2 Div 3 Div 4 Div 5 Div 6 Div 7 Div 8 Div 9 Div 10 Div 11 Div 12
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42
43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56
57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70
71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84
85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98
99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112

Hope that helps!

Probably the wrong place but RIP Maradona...he was simply a legend..

[Craig25]

Totally agree!! Well said!

[shoop76]

Is this 1st round solely based on points? Or does your position in your league matter? For example if I win my league with 12 points, but there is someone else who finishes 2nd in their league with 14 points who would finish higher?

[Keefie]

.....

[SirLindsley]

I come up with 12 points, not 10.
Did I miscount or use the wrong scoring system?

[shoop76]

3 points for winning both games against opponent, and 1 for splitting, so I think 10 is correct.

[hlbart]

Spanish Armanda with adjacent forts will make it the longest-lasting game in each round. My Spanish Armanda game will probably take twice as long as the next longest game.

[flexmaster33]

It's a great tournament, but I agree, I'd enjoy it more if I had a better feel for the game play. Right now, I just feel like I'm trying to slug through a giant log of maps.

Is it possible to slow down the speed of the tournament? As it is now it is just alot of games with No exitement about Who we Are up against. Is it the Game for promotion, relegation or something Else.

Just My opinion...

[flexmaster33]

I can't figure out how to check in on the standings tables?
Are they in the same place all the time or do they move in the forum?

Always end of OP. Maybe it can be moved to top?

When I download the 'leagues' all of the records show 'VALUE' in the table columns?
