Official 2010 CC World Cup - Doubles [Winners: First Post]

[c.juice]

What would the world cup be without referee controversy?? In Denmark's game vs. Cameroon the Danes took both finalists but were not granted the victory. Danish coaches were under the understanding all one had to do was conquer them but maybe it has to be held until the end of the round? An official complaint has been logged with the governing body but per the request of the tourney director our dilemma has been posted here as well.

As always, to win a game you must play out the added minutes also which can change the game In this case, I'd like to quote [player]ender516[/player] from event announcement topic:"ALL victory objectives on Conquer Club maps must be held for one round in order to win." Therefore, referee stays out of it and lets the game to continue.

Forgot about stoppage time! Thanks for clearing that up!

It's quite big holidays in Estonia, my brother graduated highschool and I'm trying to watch some soccer games so I haven't had time to update standings but I will try to do it today tomorrow. So, thank you for the results and some patience please while I find time to update the standings

[amazzony]

I've updated standings but for some reason Photobucket isn't interested uploading the image so I'll make a short overview of all the groups.

Group A has 1 game to finish (Uruguay vs Mexico) but it won't change overall standings and Uruguay and South Africa will advance to Stage 2 (both with 2 wins).
Group B has still 4 active games and all teams, except Argentina, has a chance to advance.
Group C has finished all 6 games, Slovenia and Algeria have advanced (yes, the ones who in real World Cup dropped out).
Group D is also done with Ghana and Germany advancing to next stage.
Group E has Denmark and Cameroon in the next stage.
Group F is waiting on the last game of the group to finish which decides if Italy or Slovakia advances; New Zealand has already assured their place in next round.
Group G is finished and Portugal along with Korea DPR advanced to stage 2.
Group H has 2 important games still active which decide advancers.

I'll get back to you as soon PB starts liking me again and after that when the remaining games of Group Stage end.

[Deli]

Greeces group games are all finished.

[amazzony]

I'm still having trouble with photobucket, no idea if it's just me or others also have trouble with it.

To games now. There are still 5 active games in Group Stage - 2 in group B, 1 in Group F and 2 in Group H. They should be over in a couple of days and as soon as they all end, Stage 2 games will be sent out.

[amazzony]

Whatever the problem was, it is gone now and I've posted the Group Stage scoreboard to page 1. It has been updated a couple of hours ago. I'll keep an eye on the remaining active games and will get back to you as soon as they all end.

Nigeria have advanced.

Current standings (with Argentina winning Game 7130003):

Code: Select all

Team         W   L   P   G
Greece       3   0   9   23
Nigeria      1   1   3   8
Argentina    1   2   3   9+
Korea Rep.   0   2   3   0

If Nigeria were to win Game 7130011, we would advance with 2 wins and 1 loss.

If Nigeria lose Game 7130011, we would still have completed our victory in less rounds than the other two, because Korea Rep. cannot win that game this round. That would make the standings like this:

Code: Select all

Team         W   L   P   G
Greece       3   0   9   23
Nigeria      1   2   3   8
Argentina    1   2   3   9+
Korea Rep.   1   2   3   9+

Thanks

[Dako]

Chile went 3-0 :).

And 3 games only remaining.

[amazzony]

In Group B, Argentina has taken a win over Korea Republic. There's 1 game still active between Nigeria and Korea Republic but as it has already reached Round 8 (and most likely won't end in this round) then even if they happen to win the game then Nigeria has advanced and Argentina along with Korea Republic have finished their tournament in Group Stage (basically what Nigeria coach .44 said).

Group F has 1 active game - Italy vs Slovakia though it seems that Italy will advance to Stage 2 because this game is also in Round 7 and even if Slovakia wins it then goals will give Italy advantage in that group.

Finally there's group H that by now has finished all its games. Chile and Switzerland have advanced to next stage.

Now, even though everything is decided then we need to wait all games to end (which means these 2: Game 7130011 and Game 7129701). As soon as those games end, I will send out matches for Round of 16.

[Swifte]

Game 7129701 has ended - just one more to go!

[the.killing.44]

All games completed.

[amazzony]

All games completed.

That it is!

Group Stage has been update and finalised. Congrats to all 16 teams advancing and thanks to others for playing!

Stage 2 is ready to begin. I've already created games and set up the matches for Round of 16. Just a reminder, it's a bracket where you advance to next round when you win 2+ games out of the 3 that are sent to you. I will be sending out games shortly.

Edit. 13 minutes later - games are sent out

[amazzony]

Stage 2 has started very smoothly, everybody have joined all their games!

[amazzony]

Thank you! So it is, Greece and Ghana have advanced to quarter-finals. This leaves still 5 active matches in Round of 16 (Stage 2) which you can see here.

[amazzony]

So, how did you like yesterday's final game between Spain and The Netherlands?

[Ace Rimmer]

Chile advances to the QF with a 2-1 victory over Korea DPR.

[amazzony]

Thanks! Besides Chile, Uruguay and New Zealand have also finished this round successfully. This leaves us 2 active matches in Round of 16 in Stage 2, updated standings can be found here.

I'll be having busy times until Monday/Tuesday and therefore I won't be updating the tournament before next week. But, prepare to join your quarter-final games in the middle of next week (all matches should be over by then).
