You are asked to select a 2014-15 Premier League team from those remaining on the following:
show: TEAMS
show: Reserves

Next, choose settings for the following options:
show: CHOOSE OPTIONS

All games will be standard, 2-player, sequential, non-poly and 20 rounds

MATCHES
One new match per week. Each match consists of 3 games.
Season is 38 weeks long
Settings are as for the home team’s choice fixed at the beginning of the season

SCORING
Once all teams have been picked and settings selected, I will calculate a Scoring Table based on up to 500 historic results of other games played on this site with the same settings. The winner will receive a number of points equal to 100% - the proportion of games completed by the same round as the actual game played. Any game taking longer than 13 turns will be considered a draw and will earn zero points[/spoiler]
Example: if the stats show that for given settings, 35% of players can win a Classic map within 8 turns then the winner would score 65 points (100-35, drop the percentage symbol).

Points are rounded to the nearest integer.

This table will be clearly displayed in the next post.

For every 25 points that a team scores across the 3 games, a goal will be awarded.
Example 2: If Arsenal beats Tottenham by 143 points to 54 points, this will be displayed as 5:2

The number of goals is summed across the 3 games to decide the outcome of the match. Match points are awarded as:
  • Win - 3
  • Draw -1
  • Lose - 0

This may appear a little confusing but it's worked well before and should become apparent as we play the tournament.

LEADERBOARD
Teams are placed in order of :
1. Match points
2. Goals Scored
3. Match wins
4. Goal difference

TIEBREAK
Should there be 2 teams tied at the top of the table at the end of the season, then a decider match on the 2014 World Cup map, with settings as Standard/Auto/Sequential/No Spoils/Chained/Foggy/No Trench. If this match is tied, the victor is the player winning the greater number of games.

Premium players only

Missing invites – miss once, you’ll get a second; miss twice, you’ll be treated as losing in 8 turns.

Reserves - reserves will adopt the match/settings of the player they replace

This tournament is inspired by jonty125’s “2011-12 Barclays Premier League” tournament.

This looks like an awesome tourney. There are a few things that aren't totally clear, but given that you are a T.O. Icon here at CC, I totally trust that this will come together and these things will become more clear as we advance. Total trust in your vision here.

I do have a couple of questions though. You said this:

Serreski wrote:Recalculation of Scoring Table - Before the tournament starts, I will consider allowing a player to change his map/settings if the resultant scores look unpromising for the tournament ahead. I will not allow this once the tournament is underway.


I have no idea what you are saying and why, other than we can change our choices prior to you starting this thing. why again would we want to do that and what factors are we to consider when choosing our settings?

What maps do we play on. Is it a random map with our chosen settings or are we supposed to select a home map with our settings?

Can Poly be an option?

Thanks Serreski, I will definitely be in this thing.

Aston Villa is my choice of team. Settings to follow when I understand what I need to consider. Tyvm. Love the creativity.

Essentially, the option for a one-off alteration to your chosen settings is to allow for more competitive points. Some settings mean that a lot of points can be earned quickly as you will see from the table so far.

As it says, you choose your own map.

Poly cannot be an option.

Thanks for the answer to my questions. I have seen the table and now understand much better.

I see that Bax stole my team, aston villa. I guess it's not his fault that you didn't write it in for me :lol: . Luckily, I could care less. Give me any team left over. Bax probably likes them and I wouldn't want to come between a dude and his team, so let Bax keep it :-). Merry xmas Bax.

Settings:

AYBABTU Map. Escalating, Foggy, chained, no trench. Anything else go standard.

Thanks again.
