CDZ Cup Second Edition
 

[shout]
I’m opening the thread for the second edition of the CDZ Cup. Since we’re 12 teams recorded at ‘Who has what team?’, I’m considering a way to put all teams together.

The 2nd CDZ Cup will start on April 7 (April 6 for games played in UK).

Please confirm participation, and I’ll track down the players that forgot all about CDZ and our prestigious Cup. We will use the ranking of the first edition to define the teams in each groups but I’ll get back to you on that.

Suggestions welcome.

PS: tell me if we want to use the cupmanager.org site or not. I will keep separate results here anyway.

- I want to join!
- I don't really care if we use cupmanager.org or not, I'd say use what's most convenient for you

I'm in. Thanks for the reminder of the UK games [rolleyes]
Who wants to play a friendly next wednesday? A rematch meli ;) ?

I am in!!

I'm in too! No opinion about the cupmanager, either is fine.

Yeah what he said ;)

Yup! My place again?

Melifluous

That's a deal! Unfortuntely it's impossible to fix friendlies atm, but that should be possible any time. At least, before next tuesday ;)

Thanks guys, I've sent the others HT-mails to let them know. I just notice we're only 11 [blush]

How do you do the Cup. I take it you play the games in people's friendly slots each week? Or do you use the game simulators?

I am interested, but what is the setup of this cup?

I'll join. I'm currently in a cup but I will drop out of that one after the friendly this tuesday.

This is the setup I propose for 10 teams, Hakon (Edit: and Matrix) declined, Cruise is asking for more info but counted him in, (Edit: one slot open).

-Drawing of teams in each group will be later today;
-Home/away settings will be decided after drawing to balance things;
-Home/away settings for Rounds 6 and Round 7 will be decided after Round 5 and Round 6;
-Games will be played as friendlies [u]with Cup Rules (although results after 90 minutes will be recorded)</u> and booked accordingly in Hattrick; Challanges should be accepted by Friday evening or I'll spam your inbox at HT, CDZ and home.

ok nice!
change the fourth match of round five to Arisctocats vs. Toffee's if i'm not mistaken.

Cool,

as a reminder: it's best to play with Cup rules, eh? Extra time and such.

Looking forward to the first match with english brit :)

Yup, edited the rules about this.

Yep. Should be interesting. I think you'll win but should be fun. :)

Good luck to everyone.

I take it you and Meli want to try me. You both logged in today but could not agree to a match between you. [cyclops][alien] I like these smilies

pushing it to the limit :) Just challenged Meli, waiting for his response.

Funny thing was I had already challenged PP and he hadnt noticed...

[rofl]

Melifluous

PS. All sorted now...

Something must have gone wrong (read : I deleted all unread messages without reading carefully) as I didnt see that. Sorry Mel, my apologies

Bot 1 = Jeroen United ?

No, when one team plays a Bot, they actually get a 5-0 win in the CDZ Cup and the team can arrange other friendly.

ok, so it's just a walk-over

After not winning any CDZ cup matches last season, this was a good change. Good luck to all in this cup!

Congrats to Yellow Boots.[party]

The return trip to Netherlands was an unhappy one as Geert Hoogerheide will be out for more then a month.[cry]

Under the 90 minutes rule, the game will be listed as a 2 - 2 draw. On the bright side the fans probably found the game very entertaining as we had a record EUR8.5k from gate fees for each side. That should pay for Schip's travel expenses.

A clear defeat. To the defencve of my players I need to say that both players and crowd where in shock and horror to see Meli's Manglers field Rudy Carrel!!!!(Outlined in match report) While trying to hide his real identity by altering his name a bit, his gray hair and horrible accent gave him away instantly. Most players had to consult the team psychologist after this dreaded encounter. Hopefully they'll recover before the important match next sunday.

My deepest sympathies PP...

I inadvertantly played my first squad (the one that still has me at the top of my division). I didnt have the time to change my squad as I have been away from the office working around the country...

Bad form I know, playing your first team but its my training I miss out on [cry]

Melifluous

Sorry about that. Beats having a 28 year old solid playmaker go out for 7 weeks though, like what happened to me in the first league match of this season. ;) He's currently at +3 weeks.

Nice result cruise. :)

Wish I could have played a 3-5-2 but training scoring atm so being forced to play 3 up front. :(

Get the feeling I'm gonna do badly in this Cup. lol

So apparently I play everyone away so who should be challenging me as its not entirely clear whether I'm meant to play against Shabbaman or whether the 5-0 result stands?

Hmmm...

Well, you 'd have to play Cruise today, but I think he's a friendly arranged already. You could join next week, and I guess Yndy could balance the home/away games a bit.

I think it would be easier for me to join the next cup, as I will have already missed two games.

Well, you could, but when you join you'd at least have friendlies for the next three weeks.

Okay I will play then but it would nice to have a home match rather than all away games.

Welcome aboard Dell19, I switched your game with me so that you now play one international away and one home. Your game with Meli is a national friendly so no costs for you, even an advantage as presumably Meli has a larger number of supporters in his club.

There will be some re-balancing at the end of the groups phase as well so don't worry. Also the matches are full of surprise results (see PP vs. Meli and Meli vs. English brit's Toffee Utd) so you might get a good place anyway.

Everybody, notice how English_brit trashed Meli [cyclops]
