[General Bax]

i'll take any free team, egypt-nubia, seq., sunny, flat, 20 round limit, unlimited

[flexmaster33]

All right the league is full...still open to reserves.

I will be pushing games through at a rapid pace over the first month to catch us back up to speed, then play will proceed coinciding with the actual MLS schedule...maps sent out on game day mornings (or as close to it as possible).

This tourney will carry through the summer, so if you plan to be away from CC for an extended period (5 days or more) give me a heads up, so you don't get replaced mid-season.

[jcmontys]

Please add me as a reserve.

Pissed I missed the deadline

[flexmaster33]

I will get standings and schedules up by the end of the weekend...opening matches have all been sent out ... March 10-12 set.

Planning to send out the March 17-18 batch Monday or Tuesday.

[flexmaster33]

Field maps are up for the first batch of matches...no final scores yet.

Hoping to send out another batch of games tonight.

[flexmaster33]

Standings are up and the opening match fields are updated...a second set of game maps have been sent out...I'll work on getting those fields up over the next couple days.

Also, note yellow scores mark matches that are final, while white scores are matches still underway.

[Graceless_]

So you can when 3/5 on their home map and only get a draw??

[flexmaster33]

Yes, it all depends on matchups and how quickly you're able to win the maps.

If you dominate the defensive zone, but don't make an offensive push, you're probably looking at a scoreless draw. Winning 3 of 5 leaves the game in doubt, taking 4 of 5 should get you a win.

This is to replicate a real soccer game where a team can control the flow of play, but still not come away with a win every night, or a team can struggle most of the night and still get in a fluky goal (win a 5-rounder).

Lots of ties in MLS and that will probably be replicated in this tourney...three results final so far...2 wins, one draw.

[Graceless_]

Thanks for the explanation. I just assumed I won because i took 3/5. Your scoring system seems pretty realistic.

[flexmaster33]

few more finals out of that first batch...fresh fields/standings posted.

[flexmaster33]

Field maps and standings are updated...it's still way early in the season, but the West in the dominant force so far, putting up a combined 12 goals to just one for teams in the East.

[elmerfudd]

I see what you are saying about 3 out of 5 but some player win 3 out of 5

[reptile]

lol, wish i understood the scoring.

[flexmaster33]

sorry all...got hit with a big project at work this week, so had to slide this tourney to the back burner...will be working on updates and another batch of matches this weekend.

[flexmaster33]

Matches for March 30-April 1 have been sent out...I'm hoping to get a field update for the March 23-25 set up Monday morning.

[reptile]

Hey flex, hate to do this to you, but i am going to have to drop out of this tournament. obviously i will finish the games that i am in right now and i will accept any invites you send me if you dont have a replacement, i am not trying to screw you over by giving you more work but i am sick of the dice CC is giving me in your tournaments lately and for some reason it is only in tournaments that are 1v1 that i am in, and have been in over the last couple months.

Every other settings are normal +/- 0% dice more or less, these are the games i enjoy more.

Like i said i will continue to play as long as you dont have a replacement, but i am done with this stupid shit.

[flexmaster33]

The March 23-25 field maps are now up...all those matches are finals...standings have been updated to reflect those results as well.

[reptile]

nvm flex i want to keep playing/trying....however if im already replaced then i am already replaced

[flexmaster33]

I missed your message about dropping reptile, so you still have your spot with KC
