[Chariot of Fire]

well if what cof says is true, looks like we already have our 4 finalists! and OTP1 is the only one with a 7-0 record, so we all have to gang up on them since we are all 6-1!!!

are we really gonna let freak and co. win both the GA and the tournament??? come on, he's serbian!!!!

all 4 of us are serbs! ha! ok, dinu is something between serbian and romanian, but who the f*ck cares about romania... maybe fins, he is born on serbian/romanian border... crap, im in clan with bunch of romanian spies!

so, after round one
big dicks 7-0
small dicks, little dicks and tiny dicks all 6-1

looking good... looking good

romanians are latin and not slavs so i'm fine with that!

anyway, just as a reminder: those round wins from round 1 will be brought to the final round worth 1 point each, but winning a round in the finals is worth 2 points each as stated in kingm's rules. Nevertheless, after talking to him it remains a bit unclear about tiebreaks.

would you guys agree on this?

-first are counted round points (round 1=1pt final round=2pts all added up)
-in case of tie in round points, head to head round confrontation will count first
-in case of another tie (one team won round 1, the other team won the final round, and this could only happen for tofu vs tnc as it's impossible for us to tie in round points vs OTP); games won will prevail.

thanks to tell me if you're ok with this before we start the finals.

Personally I've always felt the W/L difference was more important than the head-to-head and would make that the 2nd deciding factor.

You could have two teams that have each won every game except one. One of the teams won 12 of their games 3-0 and their only loss was 1-2. The other team won 12 of their matches 2-1 and lost one match 0-3.

Team A, 20pts, W37 L2 (net +35)

Team B, 20pts, W24 L15 (net +9)

Yet Team A lose because their head-to-head with Team B was their only loss, 1-2

To me that just seems unfair in any tournament.

that brings us back to football. In the french league, if 2 teams have the same number of points at the end of the season, the one with the best goal average wins. In the spanish league, the team with the most points in head to head wins. in the italian league, they play a tiebreaker (don't know how it's done in premiership?)
looks like I'm going for the spanish solution and cof for the french solution. would like to hear what freakns and ckyrias think (freakns will have an impartial judgement as it's impossible for his team to tie with anyone)

for the record, here are the scores:

OTP1: 16-5
Pack: 14-6 (looking like it will end 15-6)
TOFU: 14-4 (16-5?)
TNC: 14-4 (15-6?)

we're all pretty close anyway, and I guess head to head & overall win/loss will probably give the same winner.

[freakns]

im fine with anything... h2h looks to me like most common one

[Chariot of Fire]

goal difference is the most common one (if you're comparing football leagues)

[betiko]

another solution which would change quite much the finals, but that I even prefer would be o make it playoff style in the finals.

do we really need to re-face each other? this would save us all 1 round.

semifinal 1
group A winner versus group B runner up
semifinal 2
group B winner versus group A runner up

finals (best of 5?)

[Chariot of Fire]

I'm happy with that idea. Best-of-3 semi-finals, yes? For final I'd also stick to best-of-3 (5 of these games is a lot!)

yeah best of 3 for the finals is fine with me too. one more vote and we have a majority.

[dana1971]

Best of three sounds good to me, keeps it exciting.

[tokle]

I'm fine with any rules, as long as we win.

[betiko]

I'm fine with any rules, as long as we win.

That doesn't help what do you prefer?

[betiko]

so TNC is agreeing on playoff style as well?

[tokle]

We agree that overall W/L difference should be more important than head to head round confrontation.

so TNC is agreeing on playoff style as well?

Yes, we are.

was actually looking at the final game between TNC and TOFU, not that sure tofu is taking the round, so it is a tough battle for second place. Oh, and OTP would still fight for the GA medal with TNC, both with 7 rounds straigh win then..

Isn't it a battle for 1st place?
And will the fight for the GA medal carry on into the semi-finals? Or do we play a tie-breaker?

[tokle]

This TOFU is pretty tough to chew... But we're Crusaders, I think we can handle it.
