Roboryan (ochoseis) - Rubin Kazan http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/2971/pools.jpg <<<--- Direct link to screen shot of random pool selection, add the (img_/img) if you want to see it. I don't care what order we play these games in just play them. and post a final score please, I'll update the standings as often as i can. RULES The higher draft seed is the away team. I've put the seeds in (#) after each team. Robo being the (12) will play all games at home, Cubs being the (1) will play all games on the road. We will reseed in the tourney and the higher seed will have home field. If there is a connections issue just play the games however it works, tough luck if you can't host a game cuz of a shitty connection. In order to have the up-to-date rosters we will need to start games via lobbies so they're ranked. I believe the inviting team is always home so if you're supposed to host a game send an invite from the same lobby. For pool games there will be NO SHOOTOUT. Play a standard OT, NOT GOLDEN GOAL, sometimes these games can be 0 - 0 though FT so play OT and try to get a W/L. If the OT ends in a TIE it's a TIE, if you accidentily pick OT & PK just end it or do what you want but the game will be counted as a tie. The top 4 teams of each pool will advance, leaving us with an 8 team single elimination tourney. (If you guys want it to be top 2 advance and we do a 4 team single elimination tourney that's fine w/ me, I just thought 8 makes it more fun, more people advance.) Standard pool scoring will be applied. +3 for a Win & +1 for a D. Please make sure you get the final scores because goal differential will most likely come into play somewhere to break ties. The 2nd tie breaker will be H2H, incase of a 3 way tie it will go to goals scored, and if for some fucking reason that doesn't sort it out idk what the fuck we'll do, I'm sure you guys know something. I can't think of any other rules that we should need, just get these games played and have fun with it. Pool A 1. baseballjwil - Real Madrid(3) 2. clemsontyger04 - Chelsea(7) 3.

Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** Start playing games whenever you guys can. Robo and Roonski need teams. Roonski 1st. This should be fun.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** LOL you guys are gonna fucking murder me. BTW I can play pretty much anytime tomorrow afternoon. I would like to watch some of the Reading/Cardiff game but other than that I will be free.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** With my selection I choose: Internazionale hope that isn't who you wanted ocho.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** We'll try, I just hope people that lose don't stop playing, we'll do a losers bracket if people want to. It should be fun. Waiting for Robo to pick his team, everyone else can go ahead and start playing their games.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** Btw, I finished updating all the games, Robo is just listed as Robo intead of his team name. I'll be home today around 4:30 but I'm going to see Thor tonight so I won't be home between 7-10 EST.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** Hey jstrouse, is that shady puzzle link what you use to cheat in words with friends?
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** Might be a good idea for everyone in each group to friend each other. That way we can see who is online. I'm at work until 3 (6 eastern /5 central) so any time this evening after 5 I'm game to start. Are we holding to the schedule or can you play any game in whatever order?
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** Are we playing ranked games? I'm not sure bit I think if you play a friend, the squad update doesn't apply?
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** I'm gonna post rules in a little bit when I get to work, we'll have to go through lobbies to get ranked games.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** The question is how can you slow down Theo Walcott? I can play today after 6 if anyone is down
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** I'm down for a tournament/online play anytime... If anyone drops out or there is room let me know.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** I'll be home from work around 4. So I'll check to see if anyone wants to play then.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** Todd, Skeet, Robo, roonski, or brocho, I'll be home around 4:20 EST, if anyone wants to get a game in just PM on TMB(I'll get an email) or on the PSN(if I'm online). I'll have time for 1 game.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** Be glad to fill in if someone has to drop out, psn id is Nug-Ellington just send me a message... Assuming you guys have a TMB team as well
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** Ok man, sorry you missed it, if we had 3 more people we could actually do 3 4 team pools, but I doubt 3 more show up before 4 PM. lol If someone drops I'll PM you, and if you want to play with us for Clubs check ou the 78 or so page club thread on the Soccer board. TheSkeeter is the Capt i think, but it might be GBGalla24, i'm not sure. They'll have to invite you.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** Sweet, I'll get online as soon as I get home. I feel ya man, I'm looking at the teams and users and wishing I chose Man U or Real Madrid lol, I may need the better teams to stand a chance in some of these games.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** I'm team owner, skeeter is a manager. Nug, I can send you an invite if you want to play clubs with us.
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** It's true. I answer to GB on club transfers. He has the deep sheik pockets
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** sorry skrouse.. Have to leave to take care of something now.. I can play later tonight as well if anyone wants to play
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** Good game oops, I made way too many mistakes and my keeper gave you that 1st goal. You dominated after the 80 min mark though. Liverpool 2 - A. Madrid 0
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** yeah gg skrouse i'm playing la noire but if anyone else wants to play me just shoot me a pm
Re: *** FIFA 2011 Tourney *** hmm can you not connect to me either? It keeps saying connection to your opponent has been lost
