I'm tired of getting my ass kicked in these.

Don't worry, your playing me the first round. Catania sucks!

2nd games open tonight?

just a small heads up about the Coppa Confed bracket- it's a bit of a weird setup having two 3rd-placed teams from unknown groups, so the Round of 16 matchups could be changed once all group games are played to ensure teams from the same group don't play in the semis. I can explain the process if anyone is dying to know, but it's kinda confusing/complicated and basically just switches around a team or two (Coppa Tradizione bracket won't change).

reminder that the group stage deadline is this Wednesday night!! And we don't have much leeway for deadline extensions this season as waiting on third-place finishers affects half of the knockout matches. So get them played asap!!!

Trying to hook up with MiaFLSurf

last game is with YNWA, who has been MIA from the site for the past 2 weeks...is there a plan for how to deal with these games?

i think what we'll do here is if YNWA is in fact gone and everyone in Group D (Friz, Zikry, bbrech0610) only plays 2 games, well then obviously the top 2 advance like normal, but that 3rd-place team is where it gets tricky. I was thinking maybe do it like how UEFA WC qualifiers do it (eliminate each team's result against the last-placed team in their group), but I'd rather not do that becuase (1) that's more about accounting for games against a team from the worst-drawn group (YNWA was not a manager in Pot 4) and (2) it further complicates advancing and matches for every other 3rd-placed team, which I'd like to avoid.

So what I think we'll end up having to do here for the 3rd-place team is they will get 50% added to their totals for PTS, GF, and GA. For example, if that team finishes with 3 GF, 2 GA, and 1 point in their 2 group games, then on the 3rd-place team standings, they'll show up as 4.5 GF, 3 GA, and 1.5 points (So in essence, we won't really be ranking 3rd-placed teams by total points, but actually points per game). This clearly is not optimal at all, but it's the best & most fair way I can think of.

In the future, I will likely add a provision that if a group drops down to 3 teams, then that 3rd-placed team can't qualify through the 3rd-place standings and automatically gets put into the Coppa Confed. So that will be something I'll look into during the offseason.

Is this bracket confusing or is it me?

looks like this will apply to Group C also with Cimmy now out. The one game that Cimmy played (a draw with Fulham) will also be wiped out.

Assuming cimmy & ynwa are gone, that leaves us with just 3 games left to play Zikry bbrech0610 BigSmooth33 UcanHateMeNow MiaFLSurf

Sorry man my kid had bball practice and then had dinner afterwards. I can play for the next few hours if you can still make it.

I understand. I played a few games already tonight and I have to get up for work at 430AM tomorrow.

Broncos218 can advance the group as he sees fit. I was the worst person to get scheduled this go around, so I understand if I get knocked to 4th or whatever.

Sorry it did not work out for our group.

That is cool man. Your residency is more important. Good luck.

any chance you guys could play thursday? Thursday night is the farthest I'll go as otherwise we'll be holding up too many matches (All the 3rd-placed games). but if you guys are unavailable then, then I'd just cancel the games now and move everything along tonight

I can play tomorrow night after 830 pm EST till 1am
