3rd Annual bigsoccer.com cup

[kuhnscoot]

Well since I am out of the cup on a WTF match, and since I've done the website the past two years, I figure as the first really big loser this season, I thought I'd start this thread. ur_land I figure you still have the rules somewhere so that you can post them, or I may go searching through the old threads. Anyways, this is for signups first, so sign up with your team name, team ID, your series, league, and where you finished last season.

I think that is all that is needed.
I'll add mine later after the hattrick server stops being dumb.

rules taken from the thread for the last cup

Group play will consist of a home-and-home mini-league (6 games). The top two teams from each group, as well as the best two third place teams will advance to the knockout round (the remaining 3rd and 4th place teams will have the option of forming a consolation bracket, if wished).

All games will be played under cup rules.

Wins will be worth 3 points, pk losses (i.e., ties after 90 minutes) worth 1 point, losses worth 0 points.
Points will be used to reseed teams for the purposes of the knockout bracket. The knockout bracket will be home and home, except for the final and 3rd place games, which will be held at the lower seed's stadium.

In the case of ties within a group, the tiebreakers will be (in order) goals scored, goal differential, fewest disciplinary points, and average home attendance. In the unlikely event that there is still a tie, then it will be setteled by the largest bribe to the tournament administrator.

Also, since this is a friendly/ reserve cup, your starting lineup should be mostly reserve players. Each team should post their starting lineups (just names, no positions necessary, unless you wat to) to the board. Only four players from your starters will be allowed to play in cup games. If you have 17 or fewer players (DC Untied) you will be allowed to add additional starters to be able to field a full team, but you will be ridiculed and told to go buy a cheap $1000 28-year old passable IM. Starters can be named as subs.

Lineups need to be posted asap (before the first round of BS cup games a the latest.

but you do need to add the number of players you have.

Get a friendly for this week, and possibly next week, this probably won't start until week 5

[AAGunner3]

You will likely need one more friendly. Not enough teams are out of the cup yet.

I was reading through this again, and I'll interject and say that this part is subject to change still depending on the number of teams that sign up.

22 players this whole listing your starters things worries me. i have alot of player who are similar, and i rotate between a 4-3-3 and a 3-4-3, and sometimes a 4-4-2 so it's really hard for me to pin down and actual starting lineup since i will plug in multiple players into a spot depending on form, opponents formation etc..

It's a weekly lineup, every week you post the lineup that you used in the previous league game, so you can only use 4 players from that league lineup, so you can change the lineup.

should we sign up even if we're still in the cup?

That should only be a problem if you plan to still be in the cup in Week 5...
